The Sand Hills Shook.

Augusta, June 12,-At $50 o'clock
this morning thousands of Angus
tans were awakened by three distinct
earthquake shocks which came in
rapid succession. The shocks were
about Is seconds in duration each
and before the effect of one shock
had died away another came. On
the sand hills, over 800 feet above
Augusta, and a fashionable residence
section, the shocks were felt more
distinctly than down town. There
was considerable alarm among the
negroes and smany of them became
prayerful, believing that the millen-
ium was about to come.
The shocks are said to have been
the most distinct since the earth
quake of 1886, which shook Charles

AN EARTHQUAKE
SHOCK IS FELT
IN BRUNSWICK
}
MANY PEOPLE AWAKENED BY 1T
EARLY YESTERDAY
MORNING.
Three Distinct Shocks Were Felt at
4.30 O'clock-Many Other Cities in
This Section Report Having Felt
the Shocks.

At 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning
many Brunswickians were awakened
Dy three distinct earthquake shocks.
The shocks were about Is seconds in
duration, and it seems that the sec
ond was the most severe of the three
Many people who happened to be
awake at that hour felt the shocks
very distinctly, while others, who
We're awakened, did not realize at the
time what had caused them to aWak-
en- at the unusual hour, but as soon
as they came up town and heard of
the quake they at once realized that
they had been awakened by the earth
shocks.
While no damage resulted in this
city, many people, especially among
the colored race, were greatly fright
ened and during the day religious
services were held in some Of the
colored churches.
The seismograph at the Loyo1a uni-
versity in New Orleans recorded the
shocks, which seem to have been gen
eral all over this section.
Among other cities which reported
having felt the shocks were Angus
ia, Columbia and Savannah, and in
each of these cities the time was
exactly at $50, and as all of these
cities operate on eastern time, which
is one hour ahead of the local time,
it shows that the shock was felt
in all the cities at the same time.

Savannahians have reported to the
local weather bureau that they felt
a distinct earthquake shock at $50
this morning. The vibrations were
east and west. In some houses the
pictures on the walls swayed slight
ly, but no damage was done.
There is no earthquake recording
instrument at the local bureau, and
therefore no official record of the
shock has been made here.
The shock was felt at a time when
many people were asleep, and was
not sufficiently perceptible to cause
them to awaken.

Anti. tuberculosis Society Gratified at
Sale of Red Cross Stamps

AZ Cbristmas approaches, the Anti,
tuberculosis Society which has charge
of the Red Cross seal campaign IN
Alexandra is much encouraged at the
interest in this great charity and pre-
diets that before Christmas Alexan-
dfia viii dispose of more seals than
dnrine any year since this nation
vide philanthropy was established.
Most of the stores report a deep IN
tarest in the seals and steady de-
mand for them on the part of all shop
ners One of the observant agents IN
one of the large stords stated Satur-
day that more than half the shoppers
seemed to purchase Christmas seals
with the same regularity that they
buv tissue paper and red ribbons TO
grace their Christmas packages.
Equally encouraging to those III
charge 4 the fact that small purchas-
orc are almost as numerous as those
who purchase sheet OF seals Ere.
ouent requests for ten, twenty and
even for as few as five sales are re-
ceived: and where rich society wom-
an will order two hundred, business
women will order few for their SIM
ple gifts. "Of course" said one OF
the agents yesterday" it takes a great
many small purchases to equal one by
a rich woman, but we are, think'
more pleased at the small orders
than at the larger ones, De-
cause we feel that the woman VINO
spares even five cents for SEALS does
so because she appreciates what they
mean"
Bnt the most encouraging single
fact reported yesterday at heaaquar-
tiers was the demand for seals on the
mart of business firms. Manutact-
urers, jobbers and wholesalers nave
placed large orders and some of the
leading firms of the city, sending Out
hundreds of letters daily, have IN
structed their mailing force to at
tach the Red Cross seal to the back
of all their correspondence. The ad
vertising value of the seals and thH
sentiment attached to them appea:
alike n merchants and manufactur.
cres some of whom have bought thous-
ands of seals.
