Other Points Peel the Shock.
The people of Columbus seemed wild
yesterday. No ono needed to be told that
something unusual had happened—every
body knew it. Everybody wanted the
news. By the time of gray dawn they
came to the Enquirer-Sun oitlce to get
the paper. The sales were enormous, un
precedented, exhausted. It is told that
one gentleman paid fifteen cents for the
loan of a paper just long enough to read
the account of the earthquake. And well
papers might sell. No such event as the
ENQUiaER-SlJN chronicled had over before
happened in the south. But few men in
Georgia ever* before sat in the shadow of an
earthquake. Vast throngs flocked to the
enquirer-sun’s boards
and eagerly watched every bulletin. It
had been stated in the published dispatches
of the Enquirer-Sun that every city-could
be communicated with but Charleston.
Charleston was shutBff, and as many here
had friends and relatives there, the sus
pense was great. As they waited and
watched many humorous incidents of the
night before were related. So ridiculous
were some of these that the throug, in a
measure, forgot their anxiety about
Charleston. Then it was announced that
the news was coming,
AND IT CAME 1
And such news as it was. It foreshadowed
a city-laid in ruins for the second time
within two years. The Western Union’s
wires were all a tangled mass with tele
phone wires, and the only means of com
munication was with one wire by the
Southern. Of this Mr. Rusk, the manager
here, made the best use possible, and gave
us bulletins as fast as they could be ob
tained. It is useless to repeat what this
news was—our news columns tell the sad,
sad story. Thousands of people read it
and heaved a sigh.
WHO HAS NOT HEARD OP CHARLESTON!
Set in the rim of the sea like a gem on the
bosom of beauty, and girded about by
memories of the solemn and misty past,
history has embalmed its traditions in
fadeless ink, and the school children of two
hemispheres have learned to list its name.
Who can realize that Charleston is a
Babylon of desolation? Charleston has
been known long and far as the abode of
southern millionaires and the altar
-of southern culture. There are mansions
enough on Wentworth and Meeting streets
to crown a common city of a hundred thou
sand inhabitants, though Charleston has
but seventy thousand. Among the anxious
watchers around the bulletin board were
residents of this grand old city. When
the news came they were dumbfounded,
bewildered, heart-broken. Those who came
to spend days here took the first departing
train for the desolated city. May they
find their friends and families safe, is the
wish of all they left behind.
THE HALF WAS NOT TOLD
in our report yesterday morning, nor will
it ever be told. Wo have not the heart to
dwell upon the fact that how the women
and children ran frightened into the
streets, praying and calling to Him whose
arm is strong and who holds the earth in
His hands, to shield them from impend
ing danger. Heaven knows it was a
sight sorrowful enough to move the most
adamantine heart, even though it be made
the butt of jest when the danger is past.
And to tell how ceilings were cracked,
bells rung, lamps shaken, and a thousand
of other incidents, would be relating but
the experience of a majority of homes in
the city. But we.
CAN ALL THANK OOD
that it is no worse, and this reminds us to
say that Rev. J. H. Campbell called at the
Enquirer-Sun office yesterday evening
to suggest that the people ought to meet
and give thanks unto God for the great
mercy in sparing our city, and for the
many blessings he is continually pressing
upon us. He suggests that some unity of
action should be taken, and we take much
pleasure in saying that the Enquirer-Sun
will gladly give publication to anything
that may be done.
THE TOWNS AROUND US
were badly shaken and excited. Our spe
cials cover points where they could be
obtained in the immediate vicinity yester
day. Below we give dispatches that will
be far more agreeable to read than those
from poor Charleston :

Geneva, Gn., September 1.—About 9
o clock last night all of our quiet little
town felt the shock of an earthquake,
which alarmed every one “who was at

several years’ growth. One lady had all
the men on the place running about with
truns looking for the cause, which. I sup
pose, she expected to shoot and put an
end to.
The window sash reminded us of twenty-
nine telegraph operators trying to send
three messages each, all on the one instru
ment. In fact, the houses shook as so
many small leaves on a large red oak in a
March wind. So severe was the shock that
all of the fowls of the air, tiie beasts of t he

turned from Atlanta with a negro by the
name of Walter Crawford, charged with
burning Hudinon Brothers & Co’s ware
house in this city on the night of January

some time ago, but was not suspioioned
until recently. Several negroes told that
he had said he set tli j warehouse on fire.
A reward of 1730 was ottered by the New

guilty party with proof to convict, to
which $250 was added by Hudmon Broth

Butler, Ga., September 1.—We had
quite a severe shock nere last night about
9 o’clock. Presumed to be an earthquake.
Our people were considerably alarmed. It
is the matter of general discussion on the
streets this morning. The court house
shows signs of the shake, being cracked
about in quite a number of places. No
other damage done so far as heard from.

At Tulliotton.
Tai.botton, September 1.—This place
was visited last night twenty-four minutes
after 9 o’clock by an earthquake. The |
shock was very heavy and severe. When
it was first felt it was like the jar caused
by a heavy train running, and accom
panied by a roaring sound. The windows ;
rattled and the dishes in the closets and
safes rattled as if they would be crushed to
pieces. The plastering and walls of the ,
Thornton house were cracked, and this is
one of the most substantial buildings in:
the state. The people were in a wild state
of confusion, and rushed from their beds
in their night clothes.
Preaching was in progress at the Metho
dist church and the congrega
tion was thrown in the wildest
state of excitement, women screaming i
and crying and the men with pallid lips. !
All expected that their last hour had come, j
For a time it was feared in the rush to get ;
out of the church that some would be in- |
jured. but fortunately no one was hurt.
The church is a large brick building, and ■
trembled and swayed under the shock from
“turret to foundation stone.” In several ]
houses window glasses were broken, and
bricks were shaken off the top of the chiin- I
neys, adding to the terror of the inhab- j
itants. The first shock lasted about half a
minute, and about five minutes afterward
a second one was felt,but it was very slight. ;

a shock of earthquake was so violent, and
thought them simply the earth trembling,
but this one here caused the hanging

damage to tire buildings except to crack
the plastering in some of them.

At Seal.'.
Seale, Sept. 1.—The shock of an earth
quake was distinctly felt here last night a
few minutes after 9 o’clock. Nearly every
body in town felt the shock. A number
of ladies were very badly frightened. We
hear that the shock was fell from New
York to California, but the Enquirer-Sun
failed to reach us by the early freight this
morning, so we know nothing except what
was caught going over the wires.
Geneva, Ga., September 1.—The matter
having gone abroad that a genuine lecturer
direct from Scotland was to be in Geneva,
the people came to town from all over our
county to hear the lecture. So extensive
was this show that it took a trunk and one-
horse wagon to carry the necessary instru
ments for the “lecture,” as he called it, but
from the programme we expected to see a
panorama. We were quite disappointed
to find it was not even a magic lantern
performance. The manager has been in
towii five days making all the necessary
arrangements for this presumptuous affair.
This remarkable man talked so much that
I thought his tongue would have the
ground itch. It affected every one in his
audience in some way, for it put my teeth
on edge, and I drove live miles ill the
country after his benediction, so as to quiet
niv nerves. 1 heafd one boy ask the price
of this smart man, said he wanted him for
a watch charm.

the houses, causing a great number to
rush into the streets, some in their night

one minute and was the strongest ever
felt here, rattling crockery, shaking out
loose panes of glass and making lamps
sway in the stores. One gentleman says
his swung nearly a foot each way.
From all 1 can learn the feeling was de
cidedly unpleasant, and the main object
in life just then of the greater part of the
citizen's was to get in the streets and they
went. Being in a hurry, they were uot
