July Recorded As In Memory Of Mrs.
Sarah Fleming Brough
Hottest Month
WASHINGTON, Aug. l.—July
1930, passed into history today with
preliminary figures at the v/eather
bureau indicating it was the hot
test month ever recorded.
While reports from all of the
weather stations have not been
analyzed, a ccmpilation of temper
atures registered at the larger sta
tions shows it was hotter for a
Ipngcr tiin.e and over a larger area
^han in any previous period since
temperature records were estab
lished.
From July 4 to July 30, not a
single day passed without a t3m-
perature of 100 or hotter being of
ficially registered at some place in
the country. This was exclusive,
weather bureau officials said, of
such points as Phoenix and Yuma,
Arizona, where 100 is a summer
commonplace.
The coming of August brought
no sign of relief from the crop-
devastating and water supply-
menacing douth which also has set
a record for duration and extent of
territory affected.
The July hot spell was the worst
the south ever experienced. Fort
Smith, Ark., with seventeen days
of temperatures of . 100 or higher,
set the pace for the nation.
Shreveport, La., with twelve days
of century marks, was second and
Little Rock, Ark., and f^incoln, Neb.,
tied for third with eleven days
each.
In July, 1901, the previous rec
ord month for torri/dity in the
United States, Fort Smith had 13
days of 100 or higher and Shreve
port had only three. Last month
Memphis had eight days in
100 class and only three in
1901. Huron, South Dakota, had
nine this July and six in 1901,
while Nashville scored nine and
five respectively.
Displaying the traditional con
servatism of the weather bureau
J. B. Kincer, chief agricultural
metoEplogist, said predictions of
amateur “weather sharks” that
August will be another scorcher
are “a bit premature.”
“August usually averages a
shade cooler than July,” he said.
“I will say that the prospects of
there being another spell like the
recent one are very unlikely and
there is some consolation in that.”

Our forefathers fought for a great freedom free
dom from oppression that was suppressing every
right of the individual. July Fourth marks the an-
niversary of that freedom and should be a reminder
for all of us to perpetuate that freedom to full ex
tent.

CLEMSON COLLEGE. Aug. 1.—
Rutabagas should be planted be
tween July 15 and August 15. In
the eastern part of the state Aug
ust IS is not iso late, tat in the
central and western part it is bet
ter to plant.earlier, says R. A. Mc-
Ginty, horticulturist.
Prepare the land thoroughly by
plowing and harrowing until a per
fect seedbed has been formed. Ap
ply the fertilizer in the drill 800 to
1000 poupds per s^cxe. A fertilizer
analyzing eight per cent phos
phoric.acid, four per cent nitrogen,
and four per cejit potash will give
good results on a sandy or sandy
loam soil. On clayey loam soil it
is not necessary to use potash.
The main trouble in growing
rutabagas is in securing a good
stand during the hot summer
months. Plant in furrows two
inches deep and cover by running
the wheel of a wheelbarrow or
planter over them. When the seed
germinates, the roots will be near
the moist soil and will therefore
stand drought well. About a pound
of seed will plant an acre in rows
three feet apart.
After the plants have formed the
fourth leaf, they should.be thinned
to 10 or 12 inches apart in the
row. The turnips- will ; be ready for
Luse about November 1, but there is
^ I no necessity for harvesting them
until the weather has turned cold,
according to Mr. McGinty.
To store, pull up the turnips, cut
off the tops below the bud, and
bank the roots by covering with
soil. Ten to 15 bushels of turnips
may be put in one bank and piled
up in cone shape. They should be
covered at least six inches deep.
Turnips put up in this way will
keep in perfect condition until the
weather begins to turn warm in
the spring. ..
Thousands, of all ages, who live
in Hart, Elbert, Anderson, Abbe
ville and McCormick counties will
regret the passing of this noble
landmark of the Savannah river
hills—this noble, Christian woman
of the “olden type and true.”
Born and reared on the Georgia
bank of the Savannah, in lower
Elbert county, the daughter of a
southern hero, J. H. Fleming, she,
early in life, married T. J. Brough,
who himself faced the northern
gun and shell for four long years.
Crossing the Savannah, they
reared their home where this
young couple of the ’40’s ever lived
near Mt. Carmel, S. C., ’till death
came, a few years ago, and trump
eted this hero-husband to the biv
ouacked army of God’s own, above.
Then on May 24th, she, amongst
the last of that matchless, Christ
ian type of old-time motherhood
heard the gentle call and' passed
“in glory out of sight.” So quiet
was her passing, we thought her
asleep.
But she is away! Silent as the j
flight
Of sea gull on the shooting star,
She vanished from our trembling
sight.
While now, our eyes we lift afar;
Since she we love is away!
i
We knew her only a few short
years, but what an inspiration to
look into her heavenly calm face.
To listen to her clear story of the
anti-bellum days—the terror and
sorrow of the ’50’s and on through
the ’60’s to the days of the red
shirts and reconstruction. And
though you wondered, she would
narrate these scenes that tried wo
men’s souls no less.than men with
a calmnsss unbelieveable.
Here on the hills of the Savan
nah in Historic old Abbeville coun
ty, this noble* Christian exemplar
of southern womanhood spent her
88 years rearing a family of sons
and daughters who are each a gem
in the crown of any state.
May her type never pass from
earth.
Here she lived ’till—
“The angel that she knew
Came to her from the star-lit blue,
And when her last life-force had
sped,
Soft heavenly fingers touched her
head.
She walked with God and did not
have to die to go to Heaven.
No flower so fair as her white
soul
Hath bloomed on hill or dewy vale.
Enrobed in shinning saints pure
stole, ' •
She sought in life and found the ^ions
