The rainfall since January 1 has been short 14.50 inches, the normal precipitation to . July 1 being, 20 inches. This section got only 11. 00 up to July 1 and since that date not a fraction of an inch has fallen thereby making the shortage 14.50 inches. If the average precipitation had occurred, this section would have had about 25 Inches of rain. In June, for instance, the average ' rainfall-has been 4.72 inches; Ral eigii got 1.26 inches, a shortage of 3.4 li 'inches. There was not the Hlightest indication before noon to day of a break in the drouth though it is possible that a local . shower might- ffit this section: At this time of the year, when the sun is scorching everything, rain usually falls In abundance, but it has not fallen th'is summer. Otlier SectionsFavored. 1 In some sections of the state, how. ever, there has been rain to spare In Robeson and Columbus counties the precipitation has been sufficient; Franklin county has had all the wa ter necessary, and In some sections of Wake oounty the crops have suf fered very little. Not so with the Raleigh section. Here the lack of Tain has caused gardens to burn up and housekeepers have had unusual difficulties in supplying their tables. High Temperatures., ' : The temperatures have been uni formly high for. ttoe past month. June this' year broke the record for the highest temperature, the ther mometer registering 100 degrees a month ago. July has started oft- well or bad dn this i respect.

Shortly alter 4 o'clock this morning the train was going at a nigh rate ot speed when an open switch, mtle and a half west of Bridgeport, was struck. The switcu was near the tower. There was a tremendous crash, an Instant of intense silence: then the groans and shrieks ot the wounded. I'he wreck was almost complete, five cars having gone over the viadiiqt and only thnee cars of the long train being left on the track- The engine, twisted into junk, was two hundred feet away. Behind were mail and baggage cars, while the Pullmans and conches were In a mass In the rer. I'he 'day 'coaches were entirely crush ed. It was in these thai most, ot the deaths occurred. Three Pullmans were almost completely crumpled up, but the passengers in them were pro tected somewhat because ot the Pullmans' strength. . . , In the wreckage of the engine was found a body, thought to be the en gineer, who died at his post. A babe about a year old was found in one car. It was alive and had become separated from its njothei.

They w.ere thrown from JJielr berths and badly jarred however., Recovlng their compos, ure, they assisted In rescuing the dy ing and injured.
