BIGGEST CITIES OF
BODIES OF 'QUAKE VICTIMS
LIE UNCOUNTED. PILED
HIGH WITH LITTER.
SHANGHAI, China.— One hun
dred thousand persons have perished
in Tokio and Yokohoma alone as the
result of Saturday’s earthquakes fol
lowed by fire, according to bulletins
received here from Japan.
Death and destruction were spread
over'an area roughly comprised with
in a radius of 50 miles of [['okio. How
extensive casualties and the material
damage outside that zone is has not
been determined, ds all communica
tions with Japan are still interrupted
except for brief connections by radio
with Tomioka and commercial dis
patches from Japan to Shanghai. The
cities of Tokio and Yokohama are de
scribed as “like hell.”
Buildings were falling; fire was ev
erywhere; dead and dying were on all
sides; there were explosions and cries
of horror and fear by the panic-strick
en populace.
It is feared that the casualties in
Tokio will exceed even those in the
great disaster in: 1856, when more
than 100,000 were killed in Yeddo
alone.
The streets of Tokio are said to be
heaped with the bodies of dead. Fire
is raging from one end of the city to
‘the other. The casualties are declared
to be inestimable. Miost of the big
buildings of the capital were destroy
ed.
What ’quake and fire did not de
stroy on land tidal waves are report
ed to have crushed or sunk at sea.
Reports indicate that a great ty
phoon broke over Tokio Saturday
morning, subsiding at noon. The ty
phoon was followed by terrific earth
shocks and conflagrations - which
threw the city into chaos and struck
terror into the hearts of the inhabi
tants.
The best available reports say that
hardly a structure was left standing in
the Yamanote district, which includes
the Tokio wards of Honjo, Fukaga
wa, Shitaya, Nihonbashi and Kanda.
Thousands are without food and wa
ter and no means of getting any at
present.
Tens of thousands of visitors, many
of them foreigners, are in the moun
tain resorts of the Hakone district.
They were panic stricken by the re
peated quakes. Mount Hakone and
the town of Atama were demolished,
with the loss of six or seven thousand
dead.

Chase Trout in Cotton
Field as Water Rises
Over Public Highways
PELLHAM, Ga.-—Much interest
was manifested by a number of
citizens of Camilla and vicinity
when it was learned that a crowd
of negroes had been scen chasing
a large trout in the middle of a
50-acre cotton field on a planta
ion belonging to J. W. Middle
ton. LB '
It is estimated that it will re
quire some two or three weeks
for water to recede to a point
where the hungry pursuers may
succeed in capturing the much
wanted fish., Several citizens of
Pelham and Camilla for the first
time saw large fish being caught
by fishermen who were standing
on the Dixie highway between
Pelham and Camilla. Hundreds
of acres of cotton and other farm
products can not be scen for the
water in many parts of the coun
ty. The crops are a complete fail
ure in many parts of south Geor
gia.

ENLISTS IN MARINES.
Cecil, the young son of Mrs. M. V.

left last Saturday for Macon, where
he enlisted in the United States ma
rine corps. He is now receiving his
initial at: Baris Island, S. C.
APPLIES BOTH TO YIELD PER
ACRE AND TOTAL PRODUC
DUCTION. LOSS IS BIG.
The boll weevil continued its ram
pages in south Georgia, but in north
Georgia the cotton plant displayed a
remarkable fruition during August
and an improvement in condition of
from 3 to 4 points was registered in
that section, according to the monthly
crop review issued Saturday by the
Georgia Co-Operative Crop Reporting
cervice of the federal and the state de
partments of agriculture. One of the
smallest cotton crops in many years
was predicted by the report. The
vield per acre willl be below 100
pounds, it said.
During the past thirty days the
boll weevil has destroyed more than
half the cotton in south Georgia, and
is now taking heavy toll in the upper
section of that state. In North Geor
gia the plant put on a wonderful
amount of fruit during August, and a
net improvement in condition of three
or four points was registered in most
of the territory north of the line run
ning from West Point to Augusta.
South of that line the decline rar from
a moderate figure to 17 points in the
south and southwest. One large area
(the territory from Wilcox to Ber
rien county) registered a practical fail
ure.
While most of the damage may be
attributed to the boll weevil, excess
moisture, the army worm, the red
spider and the boll worm were respon
sible for a considerable proportion.
The average condition for the entire
state is placed in this report at .42
with the condition in Sumter county
placed at .35, and the southwest Geor
gia district condition by counties, as
follows:

The present prospect is the reverse
of that vear, the report adds. This

cotton and south Georgia very little.
