An Old Newspaper Given Dates of Dry Spells Since 1762. j The drought this year is not without parallel in the weather history 3f the country. The one last year, jf course, has not been forgotten, and then there have been many others according to an old newspaper preserved by a Rock Hill man from which The Rock Hill Herald published the following: The longest recorded drought was that of 1762 wheh no rain fell from \ May 1 to September 1, a period of 123 days. The data from the old newspaper is as follows: An interesting record Is that of | severe droughts, as far back as the landing of the Pilgrims. In the summer of 1621, twenty-four days in succession without rain. In. the summer of 1630, forty-one days in succession without rain. , In the summer of 1667, seventyfive days in succession Without rain. In the summer of 1662, eighty days in succession without'rain. In the summer of 1716, forty-six! days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1688, eighty-one days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1694, sixty-two days in succession without rain. | In the summer of 1706, forty days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1716, forty-six days in succession without rain. In the summer, of 1722, sixty-one days in succession without rain. In-the summer of 1730, ninety-two dayi in succesion without rain.

In the summer of 1802, twentythree days in succession without rait). In the summer of 1812, twentyeight days in succession without rain." . In the summer of 1856, twenty-four days in succession without rain. ' In the summer of 1871, forty-two days in succession without rain. In the summer* of 1875 twenty-sbf days in succession without rain. IfT^the summer of 1876, twenty-six days in succession without rain. It will be seen that the longest drought that'ever occurred in America was in the summer of 1762. No rain fell from the first of May to the 1 ftrst of September, makipg 128 days J without rain. Many of the inhabitants sent to England for<^ hay and 1 grain. * < Of . course at the time of the most * extraordinary droughts the term America included ? very mufeh small- ] er area than at present?-little more < than a part of the New England ( states, eastern New and : Vir- J ginia. . ?cott*s Slayer Gets Life Term.
