VOLCANO IN JAPAN
REVIEWS ERUPTION:
CITIZENS FLEE CITY
Severe Earthquake Shock
Accompanies Eruption of
of Sakura-Jima Volcano.
Fatalities Unknown

kagoshinia. japan. January T.-Two
further violent eruptions of the vol
enno salura-Jima accompanied by n
severe earthquake occurred late last
night, causing the collapse of many
more buildings.
Numbers of the inha bitants of Kagoshi-
ma who had returned, fled again in terro~
from the city.
Ashes are falling thiclsly today.
The sun looked like ball of blood
ever Kagoshima today. 1t gave no light
and the darkness was such that night
signals had to be employed on the rail-
roads.
Flying dust was SO thick that the few
pedestrians on the streets making their
way to the outskirts of the city had lo
cover their mouths and noses with tow
els and handkerchiefs TO prevent suffo-
cation.
The sea in the Gulf OF Kagoshima
seemed to be boiling and the quantity
of floating pumice stone was SO great
that it prevented navigation.
Bluejackets from the Japanese fleet TO
day discovered native craft containins
l6 refugees from Sakura- -Jima, who were
standing in a starving condition.
They reported that owing TO the float
ing masses Of pnmice stone and the higii
seas they had been unable to steer their
boat and had spent three days adrii
without food.
All of the bluejackets were able IT,
leach them by using a wedgeshaped raft
which pierced a field of pumice stone. II
resembled ice foes.
Lava was floating steadily down the
SIDES of the volcano to the sea, increasing
the area of the island as it soldified on
reaching the water
1t is still impossible to give anything
Ike an approximate estimate of the mum
Ter of victims of the recent eruptions,
earthquake shocks and tidal waves.
Few officials here express the hope that
Almost all escaped from Sakura. Others
are Tess optimistic. Professor E'usakcl.i
Omori, seimisoogist, pointing today to the
"illage of Yokohama, on Sakura, where
100 houses lie buried in lava, said
Are the people buried there as in POM
peii?.
He answered himself eonly the future
can reply te.y
A number of refugees are reported to
lave been driven insane as a result of
terror and exposure. Over a million lei
ters and 5000 kilograms are lying in Kag.@
shima awaiting delivery.

New Telephone Line.

A new farmers telephone line, hay
ing four subscribers, has just been
connected with the Newberry eX-
change of the Southern Bell Telephone
company. The line extends consid-
cradle distance northwest and fur
nishes service to the following well
known people: R. E. Livingstone, NJ.
NJ. Livingstone, John n. Livingstone
and L. J. Hunt.
The subscribers on the line are now
in constant telephone communication
with each other, and through the
Southern Bell exchange, with tele-
phone users in Newberry. The con-
struction of this line and its connec-
ton with the telephone exchange here
is another step in the progres of tel
ephone development which is being
made by the residents in the rural
sections of NeWberry county. Under
the plan of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company farmers and other ru-
raj dwellers are enabled to secure tel
ephone service on an economic basis,
as a result farmers in all sections of
the State are installing telephones in
their homes.
