M. Fuller. The clipping, sup posedly from an Abbeville or Augusta paper, was handed down in the Britt family by James E. Brjtt of the Mc Cormick section who died in 1886. Under the heading M Dry llpnells,” the paper enumerates droughts from 1621 to 1883 and points out the' year 1762 as the driest that ever occurred in America when no rain fell from the first day- of May to the first of September making 123 days without rain, r . ' - * The old newspaper report follows in full: Dry Spells—Dry spells are all the talk now. Those' who think that fhe dry spell»in every summer is the longest ever known wiH*. do well to read the folowing: In the summer of 1621, 24 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1657, 75 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1630, 41 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1662, 80 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1674, 45 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1688/81 .days in succession without rain. ' - % In the summer of 1694, 62 days in OVER ONE HUNDRED DAYS WITHOUT RAIN The seige of dry weather exper ience by the farmers in some sections of Barnwell and Allendale Counties this summer has caused a good bit of dry weather talk and the follow ing from a Greenwood paper should “Tve Only Taken Two Bot tles Of This Wonderful I Medicine, But It’s Al- I ready Made A New Man I Of Me,” Says Davis. “When I think of the years that I was in misery from that misera ble stomach trouble with gas, heartburn and that burning sensa tion all through my intestines, and then to have two bottles of this Kamak make me feel like a well man, I could almost shout for Joy,*’ says Floyd Davis, popular Green ville, S. C, fireman, of Fire Dept. No. 2. “It used to he that right after eating I would bloat up and I would feel like I was on fire in side and was so miserable I didn’t want to do a thing but lie down. “I had a terrible bad case of con stipation, too, and this spring I be gan to get in a bad rundown con- . ..——■»■■ - ■ -.—.*• —— ■ dition, with severe attacks of head aches. Why, before I began tak-' ing Kamak I had headache every day for two weeks. “A friend recommended Kamak so highly I started taking it I took Kamak Pills, too. And say, that indigestion and constipation just faded away. - “Why, I don’t have the slightest touch of stomach trouble, indiges tion, gas bloating, heartburn, or constipation now, and I don't know what a headache is. I just seem to be built up into a brand new man and I am gaining weight steadily and sleeping like I did when I was a boy. “No sir, nobody ever suffered with stomach trouble more than I, and after the way this Kamak brought me relief and aided that miserable suffering I know it's • real medicine." — Kamak is sold in Barnwell exclu sively by- Mace & Deason; and by the leading druggist in every town. In the summer of 1705, 40 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1715, 46 Hays' in succession without rain. ’ In the summer of 1728, 61 days in succession without ra!n. In the summer of 17.30, 92 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1741, 72 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 17.49, 108 days in succession without rain. “ In the summer of 1755, 42 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1762, 123 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1773, 50 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1791, 82 days in iqyawi^wUiiiinhhi. 1 "' m ' - In the summer of 1802, 23 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1812, 28 days in succession without rain. ~ In the summer of 1856f 24 days in succession without raiti. In the summer of 1871, 42 days in succession without rain.
