quake-Warning tke.People of the Shock*
Last Week.
Nearly all the ministers of Athens
made leading reference to the earth
quake in their Sunday sermons. Large
congregations attended divine service
morning and evening.
KKV. SIMON PETKR HICHARPSOX,
presiding elder of this circuit, preached
at the First Methodist church. He did
not select the earthquake for his sub
ject, intimating that the sin of dancing
wy»s greater than the hotTors of the
earthquake, He declaimed strongly
against this society evil and arraigned
tne people who participated in it as well
as the, denominations that allowed it.
He said the University should select
preceptors to teach morals rather than
to permit or encourage dancing. Mr.
Richardson said that mahy people who
had promised 0 >d to lead better lives,
when the earth was trembling under
their feet, had forgotten their vows al
ready. !!e was responsible to God and
to tnan for what he had said. When his
hearers came to die they would find all
lie had spoken to he true, lie did not
believe in earthquakes as incentives to
repentance.
rev. ix. ca M run,i,.
Rev. C. 1). Campbell, at the Uaptist
church, alluded incidentally to the
earthquake. He spoke from the text—
“God is my refuge." No part of the
earth, he said, was free from disaster.
N'otliing was safe or true but heaven.
The seaside developed the earthquake;
the mountain faced the storm and the
cloud-bunt; the house built upon open
plain was not free ft ont the fiery ele
ment which swept it in a single night.
He whose confidence is short of God is
on an uncertain basis.
The personal application to the family
of l’rof. llutherf. rd was n very feeling;
one.
the earthquake is the one fact that shows
the impotence of man, the might of God
in nature, lie alluded to the fact that
Holy Writ teaches us that this powerful
agency has been employed to punish sin,
giving as examples the flood, when “the
windows of heaven were opened,aud the
foundations of the deep were broken up”
and man punished for his sins—the swal
lowing up quick of Nathan and his fam
ily for disobedience. There were exam
ples of God's wrath shown in the earth
quake, hut iu general they were the ex
hibitions of his power, as shown iu the
operattons of nature impressed upon it
in creation.
In conclusion, he alluded to the power
in God's hands to destroy his works as
shown in the composition of the atmos
phere, tbe separation of whose elements
would result in univctsal conllagralion.
Yet this is the God whose ordinances
many neglect, some, even, in their folly,
defy.

your daily of yesterday an article

“Did you feel the shock of Tuesday
night?”
“O, yes.’*
“Wasn’t it the worst you ever expe
rienced?”
“O, no!”
“Where did you ever note a greater
shake-up?”
“In Naples in 1871.”
“Tell us about it!”
This dialogue ensued between the
Banner-Watchman and Mr. T. L. Pon-
iatowski, of Athens, on Sunday morn
ing. A September chill had sharpened
the air, and the slight tremor of Satur-
day night'had not dispelled the feeling
of anxiety which had prevailed during
the week.
It was a relief to find somebody who
had been through a worse experience,
and the Banner-Watchman asked Mr.
Poniatowski to recall the *scnsotion of
a boy of ten years and relate his expe
rience then.
“The earthquake in Italy,” said he,
“was much more severe than the one 1
felt last week. Trees waved through
the air and the whole world seemed to
sway from its rest.”
“What was the cause?”
“Of course, the origin was volcanic.

The patriach said: “I am not worthy of

He Will fotlllveiy Not Rebuild, But Move

Passing by Pro!. Kutherford's former
borne and seeing him wandering around
like a spirit haunting its place of earthly
abode, we asked bint when he intended
to rebuild.
“I don't know that 1 will ever re
build,” was the reply, “Some of my
best friends advise me to move on tbe
campus ami occupy one of the houses
there, and put my insurance money out
at interest. I am rather inclined to the
nlea, but will not tal e any steps until
my daughter returns from Europe, anu
will then do just as she advises. She
saved us our insurance and it is right
that she be consulted. 1 lived on the
campus for many yei\rs, and it would
be like going back home to move there.'
“What do you most regret losing in

“My grandfather’j family Bible, in
w hicli was recorded the birth and death
of my parents, and even my owi. chil
dren. I regret losirig this more than
anything else.”
“You don’t know yet what caused the
sorry that it has assumed a shape re
quiring me to write this note. You say
that the Board had secured consent from
the white officers ot t)»c church, hut to
their surprise, the colored members no
tified this body that they would protest
against such use of their church, etc.,
which does injustice to the denomina
tion, by making the impression that
white members of the Primitive Baptist
Church, recognize our colored brethren
as our equals in Conference, and in one
case at least as our superiors which is all
wrong—wheye there are both white and
colored members in the same church,
thewhites rule entirely’ never allowing
colored members any voice in Confer
ence against white members at all. But
you were led to publish as you did
through a misunderstanding.
The Primitive Baptist Church in Ath
ens is now and has been for more than
two years composed entirely’ of colored
members and therefore lias no white of
ficers. The brother who made the trade
with the Board about the house belongs
to another church, but did it as he
thought by consent of leading members
of tbe colored church, and was sure at
the time it would meet the approbation
of all the rest, in which he was mista
ken, hence the trouble. Please publish

RAILROAD TALK.
3rd. Every human life is partly sun
shine partly shadow; partly joy’ partly
sorrow; partly prosperity, partly adver
sity. But the proportions in which they
are weighed are variable, and these pro
portions are among the deepest myste
ries of Providence.
•lth. Whilst God very oftens dispen
ses earthly prosperity and adversity ac
cording to character, to merit or demer
it: he does not only so distribute them
in this life, but he does in the life to
come. The heart struggles of good med
over the prosperity of the wicked, an 11
the adversities of the good, are graphi
cally described in the 73rd Psalm.
Gth. Hence the presence of prosperity,
good health and freedom from trouble,
proof of our merit or acceptance
with God. Such blessings do prove the
goodness and long suffering of God, by
which he designs to lead us to repent
ance.
fith. Hence, again,the presence offgreat
affliction and calamity does not prove
unusual wickedness on the part of the
sufferers. The human heart has always
said, overwhelming suffering means
enormous sin. Onrlsord stripped away
this delusion. Suppose ye that these
righteous men were worse than you are
because they suffered such a calamity?
I tell you nay, but except ye repent, ye
shaP all likewise perish: i. e.«—suddenly,
and with no time for preparation. The
truth applies to the crushing calamity
that has been sent to our sister city of
Charleston and to our sister state. Think
you that we are better than they be
cause we have escaped? tell you nay,
but except ye repen* ye shall likewise
perish.” God designs the calamities of
others to be a warning to us.
Sympathize with, pray for, and help
the sufferers from the awful earthquake;
but hear the voice of God to Athens, to
each of us, in the trembling earth, in the
crash of falling buildings, in the wail of
sorrow that comes up from the stricken
city. “Repent, or pensh.” “Look unto
Jesus and he ye saved.”
Charleston is doubtless a wicked city,
but Athens is a wicked city. Were God
to deal with any of our cities strictly ac
cording to their works, extending pro
bation no longer, they would ali be blot
ted from the face of the earth.
WALTON COUNTY
News Rotes from Our Thrivinp Neighbor.
Monroe, Sept., Gth;—On Saturday
night as Mr. Jim Avery was walking
quietly up the street of our town, he
was met by two negroes who refused
to give him aity of the side-walk. Mr.
Avery asked what they meant Without
a reply one of the negroes, Henry Nel
son, drew a pistol and tried to shoot Mr.
Avery. Mr. Avery, seeing his danger,
grabbed the negro, wrenched the uistol
from his hand and shot him with his
own weapon. Although the facts justify
Mr. Avery, itis&n incident much to be
regretted. It seems that the negro had
been in trouble with the Marshal the
night before, and *was seeking a difficul
ty. He visited several of the stores Sat
urday evening to purchase cartridges,,
and when he was told that they had no
license to sell them, h e would make an
insulting remark as he walked cff.
The negro had evidently been drink
ing. The ball has been probed for, hut
all efforts to extract it have failed. The
physicians say they ennnot locate the
hall and express doubts as to his recov
ery .The negro was a brick-mason from
Atlanta. His family will at tempt to carry
him homo to-day.
“Did it erupt?”
“Very decidedly. The mou^tai
stands 8 miles oast of Naples and two
miles from the old sites of l’orapeii and
Herculaneum. In an hour and a half
after the shock, a cloud of steam appear
ed upon the mountain’s crest. Then
black burst of smoke followed. The
lava was the last development.”
“How long did this last?”
The action was not constant; but the
eruption broke out every day or so for a
week.”
“llow did it look'?”
“In the day time the appearance was
sombre and awful. At night the sight
was lurid and beautiful. The Bay of
Naples—at all times lovely—seemed
more exquisite still.”
“What time of year was this?”
“It was in September. The earth
quake was felt about five o’clock in the
afternoon.”
“Were the people frightened?”
“Not much. They have grown ac
customed to these developments. Their
houses, you see, are built to withstand
earthquakes. They are generally but
one story high and are broad and low.
1 staid at a hotel near Naples, which was
but one story high and covered three
acres of ground. In Naples, which is
built on the tide of a hill, you occasion
ally see a two or three story house; but
these are also broad and finely planted.
No modern towering piles can be found.”
“How often does Vesuvius erupt?”
“I believe on an average of every four
years. There is generally an earth
quake at the opening and also one at the
close of the action.”
“The country, continued Mr. Ponia
towski, “around Vesuvius is very fer
tile, also around ML Etna. The farms
grow wheat, rice, grapes and all kinds of
tropical fruits. The land is well settled
and carefully cultivated.”
‘•How did the sensation of the Athens
earthquake compare with your recollec
tion of the Naples shock?”
“So far as I can remember, the char
acter of the shock was much the same.
Tuesday night’s shock was much milder,
however.”
Trial Trip Yesterday Morning Over the
Covington and Macon Railroad.
Yesterday morning at 10 o’clock the
first excursion was run over the Coving
ton and Macon railroad.
At that hour a locomotive with two
passenger coaches attached was in wait
ing in front of the city park, at the foot of
Walnut street
A party of about thirty ladies and
gentlemen, to whom invitations had been
extended by General Manager Frobel,
were soon on hand and aboard, and
promptly at 10 o’clock the signal was
given and the train moved oft’. The
trip extended as far as the junction of the
road with the Georgia railroad, one tuile
above Robert’s station, and was in every
respect enjoyable. The run was made
without accident of any kind, and af
forded the members of the party, as well
as the general manager, opportunity to
test tbe eificiency of the work as far as
completed. The distance traversed was
fourteen miles.
The roadbed was mostly level, and
the run remarkable easy, considering the
newness of the road. The train made
good time, climbing the grades at a lively
rate. Returning, the city was reached
at 12-45 o’clock.
Despite the newness of the road bed
and the fact that a great deal of it is
“service track,” the train rolled along
like a rocking chair. The main reasou
for the easy Tiding is that the cars aTe

of little Francis Paine, the infant son of

weeks, and in spite of skilled attention
and devoted nursing, in spite of a moth

sufferer sank beneath the touch of fever
beyond resuscitation. But the afflicted
parents know that it has gone to sleep
upon a Father's arms and in a Father’s
bosom. Tenderly it had twined about
human hearts at home; but radiantly
and painlessly and blessedly it blooms
about the great heart of Him who suffer

sympathies attend Mr. and Mrs. White
in their bereavement. The condolence
of family and friends goes out to them.

The Rev. J. C. Davis, of Emmanuel
Episcopal church, gave at the even
ing service a lecture whose chief topic
was the “moral of the earthquake.” -He
spoke of earthquakes as coeval with the
-history of our planet That they were
all the -manifestations of the power of
the great God in accordance with his
physical laws. The action ol these
laws no man baa yet been able to pre
dict or describe. The preacher then
spoke of the usual scientific causes of
earthquakes, as have been SC int for
of late so well in the articles of the At
lanta Constitution, of Prof. Broun, of
Auburn; of Prof. H. C. White, of our
University; of Prof. McGhee, showing
that at least they ware conjectured. He
compared this earthquake with others,
showing the unusual, perhaps unparal
leled extent of the country affected. He
alluded to the fqet of its being the moat
destructive visitation aver known in the
United States—the only destructive one
ever recorded. He spoke ofits intensity
st Charleston,, of the desolation in a few
momenta, of the beautiful city by the
sea; so unexpected^) overwhelming; of
the fright, the suffering of the stricken
citizens, of the heroism of noble men and
women in the midst of such nnparallel-

and pulled such a heavy, loai.” The

had come to see it. This road was the
first built in the State, and few people
had ever seen a train of cars. The first
can that came over tho Athens branch,
was pulled by mules, as engines cost st

IS CHARLESTON SIN KINO?
The Macon Telegiapu’s correspondent
who went to Charleston, writes this way
in liis paper:
A number of people have asked my
opinion ns to whether or not the end has
come. I am frank. I know nothing
beyond an ordinary school training of
geology, and tho variegated and at-vari-
ance views of those scientists who have
written on earthquakes, makes me have
very little belief in the science as
at present developed. Because of
the seeming hollowness beneath
me in the Charleston Hotel when the
shock came Friday night, 1 confess that
I have grave fears that a port of the
city will either be swallowed up, or at
least, that a portion of it will settle sev
eral feet, which of course, means total
tal destruction for the houses on the
land so settling. My belief Is that the
earthquake was esused by a lsnd-
slide. Hail it been volcanic, the open
ings in the earth for * circle of twenty-
five miles around ‘ Charleston, would
have given ample outlet for the explo
ding substances and gases, and that ere
now the end would have been, or that at
some one or two points there would be
distinct volcanic eruptions.)
Charleston is a point of land running
•ut into the ocean, flanked on either
aide by a river. Mueh of the land is
made, and it certainly cannot be regar
ded as well able to withstand a few
anure such shocks as that of Friday
Slight.

the state. Wc arc told thatit is the only
thing of the kind in the world.
We believe it.
The Factory in question is situated in
the hollow back of Judge Nicholson’s
residence, and is near the Tan Yard
branch.
Outside it is unpretentious, and docs
not give an idea of its busy interior. A
modest stiucture with fire-proof cover
ing—a throbbing engine, the occasional
rip of a saw—probably a passer-by
would not stop to see what, was going
on within.
But the Banner-Watchman spied
Tom llunnicutt at the door and stopped.
n hour's inspection would require col
umns to describe. Basket after basket
was turned off even while wc were
passing through; and while we are try
ing to tell about it the neat bundles aac
still being piled to the top of the ceiling.
The machinery lacked about an hour
of stopping when wc entered yegterday,
but was plunging and cutting us if it
had no thought of resting for the
night. An earthquake would have no
chalice ill all this din and shake, and the
small tingle of the chestnut bell would
be entirely lost.
THE MATERIAL AND PR0CK88.
To begin, the timber is piled up out
side. It is white and Spanish oak, cut
up the North-Eastern railroad and ship
ped here. It must be smooth wood
without worms or wind shakes, or
faults of any-kind. Hundreds of feet of
material ottered are not accepted on this
account. The planks are 2 inches
thick and arc first passed over a revolv
ing saw, when a slat two inches thick
and wide is turned out. This slat is
passed under a rapidly turning borin
machine—something liku a spinning
gimlet, and holes me punched
through the slat as easily as if it were
cloth pierced with a needle; Next the
slat is passed under a gang saw, and the
piece is ripped into four laths quickly
and perfectly. This saw is the only
one in the United States that will cut
oak slats. It was made especially for
this basket factory, and in device and
mechanism is an Athens enterprise.
This machine turns out l.'-loti laths an
hour, or over 12,000 per working day of
10 hours. The factory has turned out
as many as 18,000 a day, and can do s.
when pushed.
The laths are next dressed on one
side, when they are pushed
into a boiler and sufficiently steamed
rs to bend without breaking.
After remaining ill the steam
ing crucible for awhile, the
laths arc passed over a wind and wrap
ped about it like a ribbon. A nail fixes
the circle and holds it intact. This cir
cular hoop is the rim or top of the basket.
The factory has just put in a new
packing block, upon which the frames or
bows of the basket are fashioned. In
stead of being wrapped about the wheel,
as for the rim, the laths are bent about an
elliptical block and hammered into bas
ket shape. The hows are here nailed
together and five basket frames or ribs
are thrown out," ready for shipping.
There are in each package five rims and
ten bows. Each basket has one riui and
two hows with burlap lining.
SECOND STORY.
Now we leave this little lath skeleton
to take care of itself, and to develop into
a basket at will. Just now it doesn’t
look like a basket. On the second story
of the metory is the sewing or stitching
room. Here is the burlaps which lines
the interior of the basket. This cloth,
which is ordered in largo quantities, is
cat first in circular form for the bottom
of the bag. Next a rectangular piece is
shaped for the side, and six lady workers
arc busy running the material through
the sewing machines, stitching the side
of the bag to the circular bottom. The
machines are all run by steam power
from below. N o treadle to weaken the
limbs of women. Only a deft- move
ment of the hand—a skillful clip of the
thread and a hag is made.
The ladies get a cent a bag. They
make between 100 and 125 lines a day
easily. Ons lady made 195 bags in one
day. There are six sewing machines in
running order in this room, and the
work is easily done after practice. This
then is tho last process of basket raak)
ing. Now, when the basket is put up it
is a round wooden' rim, from which
hangs a burlap hag with circular bottom.
Outside of the hag two wooden bows en
circle it like a “U” and join the rim.
The hows are fastened with four bolts
at the top and one bolt where they cross
underneath. This is all. The basket is
“How-many hands do you employ?” -
“There arc '24 at work iir the factory of
which six are ladies. Of the 18 males 4
are skill d mechanics.”
“What isyour power?”
“Steam. We run an Atlas engine, 25
horse power, with 30 power boiler.
The boiler is a return tubular with Han
cock's inspirator. Our motor and ma
chinery are the newest and host”
The factory is now running on ful
time to fill orders. It will close in a
short time to start up early for the next
cotton season. At that time it will be
enlarged and greatly improved, and will
have better facilities in every way.
£Thii Factory is a gem. It is an honor
and an impetus to Athens in every way.
l)r. llunnicutt certainly deserves com
mendation for his great enterprise. This
industry has only commenced. There
is no telling where it will go next year.
The Excelsior Basket was patented
one year ago today.
IMPORTANT MEETING.
THF A. fc C. RAILROAD.
It is stated that contracts will he let
out on the first of October next to com
mence grading on the Augusta and
Chattanooga Railroad. The indications
at present seem to favor the route by El
berton. Lincoln county- has subscribed
$15,(AX) as an inducement to secure its
location by Lincolnton, which wo sup
pose, will not lack much grading on the
road through that county. By using the
same route that was surveyed for the
Augusta, Elberton and Chicago Road,
there is already some ten or twelve
miles graded, and the people of Rich
mond and Columbia counties can easily
furnish, the means to continue it on to
Lincoln line. If the people of Lincoln
county can grade it through their terri-
territory, there is little doubt but that
the people of Wilkes and Elbert coun
ties will do their part when the proper
time comes and grade it on from the
Lincoln to the Madison county line.—

PROHIBITION IN ATLANTA.
It has Temporarily Stopped Building, but
not Hurt Trade.
Mr. Macafee, the contractor for the
Oglethorpe county court-house, was in
tlio city yesterday. This gentieman is
from Atlanta, and a B. W. reporter ask
ed him how prohibition was progressing
in that city.
“I am a strong prohibitionist,” was the
reply, ‘and should the election occur
over, would work for it again; but it has
certainly temporarily stopped building
ip the city, but not injured business in
any other way. Last year I built thir
teen store-houses—in fact, all hut two
that were erected in the city—but this
year not a single one have I built. A
great many people have been thrown out
of employment by the closing of bar
rooms, and then there is a doubt in niany
mimls as to the probable effect of prohi
bition. These causes conspire to put u
temporary check on building, but it won’t
be permanent.”

“Whose invention is this?"
“Mr. T. F. Ijtwson’s, of Athens.”
“Whoowns the plant?”
“Mr. Lawson showed his model to l)r.
J. A. Hunnicutt, who was so impressed
that he decided to build the factory and
operate the machinery designed by Mr.
Lawson. There was much trouble pro
curing tbe machinery, as the whole

absolutely nothing to go upon in con
struction. Some was made here; other
parts had to be made elsewhere. The

“When did the factory start?”
“Last May, since which time it lias
turned out 15,000 bLskets. Our sales have
been immediate and immense.' We
do not consign goods to parties or sell on

THE EXCELSIOR BASKET.
“What do you claim for y onr basket?”
“We claim that the Excelsior Patent
Cotton Basket, is ore of the most useful
inventions of the age. For the farmer,
gardener, fruitgrower, miller, merchant,
seedsman and cotton buyer, also for of
fice and household purposes generally,
they are indispensable. They aregreat-
) v superior to any split or wood baskets,
being stronger, and will hold the small
est grain, meal or floor without waste.
For cotton picking, they completely
“fill a long felt want.” When not in use
they are so constructed as to be easily
folded and packed away, ten baskets
not occupying as much space as one
split basket of same capacity. The
great advantage of the Excelsior Basket,
over split and others, are cheap
ness, lightness, strength and dura-
bility. The frames being made of the
but young yonng white oak and pnt to
gether with' the best quality iron bolts
and taps, will last a gener.tkn with or

A Pleasing Episode In Jackson County—
General News Notes There.
Pkndkhgrass, Sept. 5.—[Spe
cial.] Your correspondent attend
ed the - Ministers’ and Deacons’
meeting of the Sarcpta Association,
nt Pendergrass, in Jackson county,
last Friday, Saturuay and Sunday.
Pent ergrass is a beautiful village,
four years old, with abont 200 in
habitants, anc located on the ridge
on the south side of Middle Oconee
river, 7 j miles from Jefferson. The-
Gainesville & Jefferson narrow
gauge railroad runs through the
centre of the village and has a de
pot here. The 4 or 5 stores enjoy a
line trade from the well-to-do peo
ple living on both sides of the Oco-
nee.
The lands in this whole section
are rolling, but strong and fertile,
as is demonstrated by the fine creps
this year. The people are alive to
improvements of every, kind and
areas hfispitable as any peoule in
Georgia.
•The meeting was organized by
the clectiou of Judge W C How"-
ard, of Jefferson, chairman. The
attendance the first day was small,
hut was made up the two last Revs.
Langford, Van Hoosr and Smith
were visiting members from
Gainesville.
Revs. W. S. McCartv, C. D.
Campbell, W. M. Coile. Prof.
Rutherford and Judge Harwood en
gaged in the discussion during the
session, and all enjoyed the fine
speeches made ny these gentlemen
Rev. M. V. B. Langford preach-
a fine sermon on Saturday, aiid Dr.
Campbell a masterly one on the
Sabbath. Rev. Mr. VanHoose
was appointed for Sunday after
noon. «
The next session was appointed
to be held at Winterville, Clarke
county, at the contemplated Bap
tist church, which will be erected
by theappointed time, the 5th Sab
bath in July, 1SS7. The programme
for the next session is the most in
teresting that was ever had since
the otganization.
MINOR NOTES.
The Methodists and Baptists both
worship in a school house, but * ex
pect in the near iuture to erect
buildings of their own.
The cotton cron in this section is
dependent upon a late frost for suc
cess. Bottom land born is a fail
ure.
The sorghum crop is a success
this year-long sweeting will be
abundant.
The finest granite in this section
of Georgia lies in a belt extending
several miles north of Jefferson
slong the railroad. Nature has al
most carved it in size and shape for
building purposes.
The apple crop in Jackson coun
ty is an entire failure.
A Mrs. Appleby, highly respec
led by all, was lying at the point of
death during the meeting.
The Nicholson B. B. Club,
played a match game with the
town boys Saturday evening, only
short distance from the church,
was largely attended.
JSeveral Athens boys have moved
into this section and are doing well.
White people largely predomi
ate in this section. Only a few
colored brethren” are seen.
The programme's of the meeting
were gotten up by Messrs. Cran
ford & Davis of your city, and elic
ited praises from everyone for their
beauty and neatness.
Road working has become gen
eral, and a new road each in Buck
Branch and Beaverdam districts
will be opened during the coming
week.
Oglethorpe county commences
picking cotton this week.
Fruits and melons are reckoned
among the things that were.
Old mother earth continues to
qnake, and nearly everybody has
turned quakers.
A few gentlemen in and around
Winterville have assumed the res
ponsibility for building the Wintir-
ville Baptist Church, and will let
out the contract in a few days.
The completion of this house is now
fixed fact.
_ The Methodist we learn are get
ting up funds to aid them in tear
ing down their old church and erec
ting a new one on the old site, and
with good success.

People certainly cannot complain
at the theories ot zeieotiaujupou the 1
recent cirthquakes.’ These haya
been sufficiently varied ind con
flicting to satisfy the views of
every one. Private opinion ,c»B^
b Mster itself upon scientific theo.
in any' form, and the prevailing
impression is that one is os aeaf
right as the other. At the sent#
time, science will push -her investi
gation and gather her ««U, and it
is probable that these fshocks will
contribute valuable facts to m&ke ■
up a reasonable verdict.
One of the most recent end clev
er opinions is that of Mejor Harrv
Hammond, a learned Carolinian,
who attributes the sinkings and-
shocks around Chstlestan ar.d Sum
merville to the- lime c«v«iros end
subterranean streams. These cav
erns are formed by rain water
charged with carbonic acid wash
ing through the carbonate it liide
.L.a. U*: TtiiuirnvD
■n the marl stone. Maj. HammoWd
believes that in this way subterra
nean streama and lakes have been
formed miles in length, and declares
that such subterranean cavities .
are among the well-knpwn andrec-
ignized causes of earthquaTces,
through the falling, settling and
sinking of their roofs and walla.
Should the locus of tbe recent dis
turbances be traced to the locality
exhibiting indications of such- cav
erns, we might put our fibgeron the
the cause of the phenomena. A
number of facts point in this direc* /
tion. If the line of origin of the' .
earth tremors be a line between
Charleston and Summerville, then
' his line can not be very far trdm
the subterranean cavern*. Tbe re
ports of the commotion seaward
seem too slight to suggest that their
causes are - the secrets of ocean
depths. “So far the earthquake,”
says Major Hammond, “qould be
fully accounted for by tbe success
ive falling in of the roofs and waits
of such subterranean caverns.
Ages may elapse before they are
hollowed out again, through the
slow action of the' minute quantity
of carbonic acid carried down with
surface water.”
Now we have the theory of Prof.
McGhee, who believes the shock
was caused by a land slide; Prof.
Mkndeniiell who ascribe* the
quake to volcanic action, and Maj.
Hammond who brings - to bear the
line caverns.

A MODEST MILLIONAIRE.*
Fall of Ute Court House.
Charleston, Sept. 6.—During
the rush of applicants for assistance
large section of the Meeting
street front of the courthouse, oppo
site the city hall, fell out. The re
port of tiro tail was equal to an
earthquake shock. Immediately
the assembled thousands iu and out
of the building began to sway and
move like billows oi a storm strick-
stricken sea. The cooler
heads present mounted chairs
and admonished the people to
move away quterly and not become
excited. The scene was appalling
for a shoit time, but quiet was fi
nally restored. The men at work
tearing down frail portions of the
court house were ordered to stop
work.
The death of Hon. John Davi
son, of Augusta, already noticed in
the Banner-Watchman,removes
one of the most remarkable, men ■
from that city. It is now believed
that his fortune will far exceed half
a million of dollars. In the absence
of a will, which hat not yet been
found,this, money will, be divided,
says the Augusta Evening News,
between relations in Augusta and
in Ireland. It is probable that Mr.
Davison himself did not know
what he was really worth. Hit
profits in Georgia railroad stock
alone amounted in the past year to
$150,000.
Mr. Davison was one of the
most modest of men. He was
averse to seeing his name in the pa
pers. He never was seen in pub
lic places in Augusta. His simple
desk at the Georgia Railroad batik,
and his old-fashioned brick tena-
ment on McIntosh street wereaU tbe
world to him. Only when he travel
ed,say* the paper above mentioned,
would any one have imagined him
a rich man, but on such occasions
he would frequently go to New .
York in a private car, with Lexius
Henson for his “chef de cuisine”
and plenary power in culinary mat
ters. Lexius was nevet limited by
him, and Augusta’s popular caterer
never had a more generous patron -
ot a better friend. When in New
York Col. Davison' would always /
stop al “The Windsor,” away.-uf" - j
from the busy part of the metropo
lis, and where none hut capitalists
could afford the stay, and his suitCB
of rooms were the most magnifi
cent and costlv in all that pnheely
place. He would return after these
trips aud resume hiy simple life in
Augusta and be more contented
than when in the gilded paUces of
earth.
Mr. Davison .would frequently
give his livery stable dnver five dol*
lars as a private fee foi an after
noon’s drive. He was generous to
his family and friends, and ,as Coi.
Randall aaid in tbe Augusts
Chronicle, he literally “did good by
stealth.”
