i JUNE 16 HOTTEST DAY.
__
In Florida?Climate Is Excellent
while Soil Is Poorest.
i Editor County Record:?
My previous letter was devoted
| almost exclusively to the climate of
Florida. To what was said in that
letter about the climate I wish to
add a few more sentences and will
then speak of the soil.
The hottest day we have had so
far was on June 16, when the thermometer
registered 92 degrees, yet
it was not an uncomfortable day.
The writer rode in an open buggy
going to and returning from church
land did not even perspire. The
j breeze is the secret. The sunshine
! was hot,as it is bound to be here, almost
in the tropical zone, but the
; cool breeze in conjunction with the
j relatively short days tempers the
heat to an extent that can hardly
be appreciated by one living in a
more northerly clime. The breeze
is a great factor in this seeming
anomaly that we have here, but it is
not the only factor. To my mind the
? ? ? * II.. f L X
(lengtn ot day is equany important,
i For instance, Friday, June 21, was
j the longest day in the year. Here it
! was a little more than thirteen
| hours, while in Williamsburg, South
| Carolina, there fourteen and a half
; hours of sunshine.
I From 7 to 9 o'clock in the morn'
ing is the most unpleasant part of
the day. During these two hours
there is usually but little air in motion.
After 9 o'clock even those not
yet acclimated do not complain, for
V?/% nn'n/lo tltaf /tnma frnm tViofr hniir
HIC VT1I1UO uiav Wtiiv AlVUi wtiMw *<V?.?
on throughout the day and succeeding
night leave nothing of which to
find fault. The nights are invariably
cool, and the way a fellow can sleep
is a caution. No lullaby is needed
and soothing drops are not called for.
All you have to do is to lie down,
draw up the cover, or you will get
chilly, close your eyes and the sun
of the next day will be shining on
your face before you half realize
that a night has gone by.
The so-called rainy season is now
full upon us. We may look for a
shower every day for the next two
months,but, in fact,we get a shower
about every second or third day.
The truth seems to be that these
summer showers are not more frequent
than they are in the old Carolina
State. The chief difference observed
so far is the lack of thunder
and lightning. The showers come
gently and are not accompanied by the
terrific displays of electricity and the
tremendous roar of thunder so common
in Carolina. The rains are true
showers. When the water falls, it
literally pours down for a few moments
and then all is over. The
cloud rolls away like a curtain
drawn aside and the sunshine al
once returns.
When I began this letter, it was
the intention to write a few addi
tional sentences only about the cli
mate and deal at some length with
the soil. Contrary to this intention
so much space has been given t(
temperature and rainfall that I shal
write only a few iutroductory lines
with respect to the soil, leaving th(
greater part of this subject for discussion
in a subsequent letter.
Taken as a whole,the soil of Flor
ida is probably the poorest of an]
State east of the Mississippi anc
south of New England. To Strang
? ers riding along in railroad car
! riages, the State seems a vast san<
bed interspersed with swamps
r' Throughout the northern and cen
tral portions there is sand, sam

wherever you go. Travel even is
very difficult except upon the clay,
marl rock and straw roads. Roads
m
of these classes are found connecting
all towns of importance andare being
extended continually. Off these
roads it takes a good horse to draw
a light buggy in a trot. On the turpentine
farms four mules are re
quired to draw a two-horse load.
Foot travel is, of course, slow and
difficult, and so deep and prevalent
is the sand in the sections named that
persons who travel much on foot can
be picked out of the crowds by their
"ploughing" gait. , J
In Polk county, which is in the
south central part of the State, the
sand hills rise to the height of two
hundred and fifty feet above sea
level. However, these hills are not
j|
barren wastes of sand, but are covered
with trees and grass,and everywhere
among the hills are lakes.
This hill country is the main waterj
shed of the State, maybe called the
I backbone, as the country slopes
aWay from this ridge to the Atlanlantic
on the east and the Gulf of
Mexico on the west. These slopes,
however, are alike only as slopes. In
other respects they differ very
greatly,
This subject will be concluded in
another letter. W L Bass.

Drainage In Williamsburg.
Mr F G Eason, United States
drainage engineer, stationed at
Charleston, has prepared for Commissioner
E J Watson a statement
showing the drainage work nowplanned
or under way in this State, j
The statement is an interesting one,
giving, as it does, at a glance an excellent
idea of just what is being,
done in the way of drainage of lands
in South Carolina. That part of the
statement which relates to the work
in Williamsburg is given below. Also
a letter from Mr C L Porter, division
superintendent of the Atlantic
Coast Line,commending the work in
this county:
"Williamsburg county ? Broad
swamp drainage district (35,000
acres). This district has been examined
by me and a report made on it,
and the preliminary petition drawn
up and signed by the required num
ber, but do not know what date set
for appointment of board of view'
ers. About 95 per cent of the people
are in favor of it.
t "One other district is being con
sidered in this county and a good
deal of work being done by develop- .
> ment companies."
Editor County Record:

i that Williamsburg is taking place in 1
