SCORCHING!
Monday and Tuesday the Hottest Days on Record in Earlington.
OFFICIAL TEMPERATURE WAS 106.
All Earlington thought that Thursday, July 11, was the record for high
temperature for this year. That day the mercury mounted to 103. Since
then 100 and 101 degrees have seemed almost mild. But Monday the valley
in which nestles this model and contented mining and railroad town was
a veritable bake-oven with no relief, no escape from the heat of the
burnished heavens save in the caverns of the earth among the black
diamonds under the surrounding picturesque hills. It is a blessing to be
a busy coal miner while the sun is so intimate a neighbor. Tuesday the
same high temperature was reached.
Ed J. Phillips became over-heated at his work in the St. Bernard general
store where the temperature went above 100. The effect of this he did not
feel until evening when he was found in a severe cramping spell in the
yard at home. Next morning he was better and has since been improving.
One of our Earlington physicians, wishing to take a patient’s temperature
was bewildered to find that he could not shake his mercury below 102. He
understood when he found what maximum had been reached outside.
Here is the Earlington record of a continued “hot time” for more than a
month:

Hopkinsville’s Hottest Day.
Hopkinsville, Ky., July 22.—Local heat records were broken here today,
when at 2 o’clock the mercury in the government thermometer darted up
to 108. Many private thermometers registered as high as 112, and A. A.
Winfree, a merchant at Caskey, says that the thermometer in front of his
store stopped at 120 at 3 o’clock.
