GEORGIA, ,GEOLOGIST EXPLAINS
RECENT EARTHQUAKE FELT HERE
SAYS That it was Weakening of Crys-
taIfne Rock Beneath the Great
Piedmont Plateau.

Numbers of inquiries have been
made during the past two weeks at the
Hustler Office for Information as to the
recent earthquake distinctly felt in
this section some time ago. After
watching the out of town papers care
fully the explanation of the earthquake
was found in one of the big daily pa
pers of Georgia in which DR.. w. S. Nc
Callie, state geologist. gave as his be-
lief that the shock was caused by the
weakening of the crystalline rock
which underlies the Piedmont plateau.
L is thought by him that re-occurA
ance of the tremor will take place be-
fore long. 1t is said that the Georgia
scientists have asked that govern
ment seismograph be installed in At
lanta.

PEOPLE ARE ADVISED TO
PAY UP Their ACCOUNTS
MateriaI Being Gathered for One OF
the Most Comprehensive Rating
Books Ever Published.

There appears in the Hustler today
ali advertisement by the Merchants
association in which the people ofHen;
dersonville are advised that there is
being prepared for this city an Expe-
rience Credit guide, in which every
person carrying credit of any kind will
be rated, according to the manner in
which they pay ;their bills. Il was an
i1ouneed last week that such an IN
dertaSfng had been Endorsed by OIL
cfais of the Merchants association,
but it was necessary for at least 20
firms to join the association before the
guide could be published. The latest
announcement, therefore, means that
the publication is now assured.
The guide here, which will be'simf-
lar to those recently published for Raj
eigh. Greensboro and about a score Oh
other towns and cities OF. North Caro-
lina both Henderson and Transylva-
MIA and possibly other counties of the
vicinity. 1t will be comprehensive in
its scope, and is expected to be of in,
estimable value to the business men
OF the section. at the same time prov
ing valuable, ultimately, to the people
who pay their accounts promptly.
Within the next few days letters viii
be mailed to every person in this sec
ton who owes any of the merchants
of the association an account, which
according to promise or reasonable
expectation is past due, and as no one
could expect a merchant to carry his
OIL her account beyond the past due
period and then give good rating to
that person, it is highly important 10
every person receiving these letters
that they regard them in the proper
light and promptly pay or arrange
same satisfactorily. The ratings now
being gotten up are going to be fair
to everybody, it is stated.

HISTORICAL PROGRAM FOR
MARCH MEETING 10. ID. c
OF Margaret Hayes Davis Chapter; !;
Address From Miss Mildred Ruth
+ erfOrd, Historian General.
(Contributed.)


The first patriotic organization for
women in the world was the Edenton
Tea Party. in North Carolina. Fifty
one women met at Mrs. Elizabeth
Kings home and. organized the
Daughters of Liberty" and resolved
to drink no tea nor wear clothes that
came from England until the obnoxious
tax on tea was withdrawn.
Hampton Roads Conference.
Let us look into that Hampton
Roads conference. Mexico was giving
trouble in 1865, and Francis P. Blair,
Sr., conceived the idea that if peace
could be declared between the North
and the South, and both armies march
ed against Mexico the two sections
could thus be sooner brought togetc>-
er by having a common interest. AT
this suggestion President Davis and
his cabinet appointed three commits
sioners, Alexander H. Stephens. o.
Georgia, r. S. b. Hunter of Virginia
and John Campbell, of Alabama, to
meet with President Lincoln and Mr.
Seward to discuss terms of pei.
Pl esldent Lincoln would not consent
for the commissioners sent by the
Confederate government to come t,
Washington City, for that would be an.
acknowledgment of the Confederacy.
Therefore it was agreed that it
should meet at Hampton Roales, Feb.
8. 1865 President Lincoln and Mr.. Sew
ard came on the River Swan" to meet
the delegation from the Confederate.
States.
The commissioners were given no
authority to accept terms of uncondi-
tl0nal surrender, they demanded a
recognition Of the Confederate States.
Lincoln's only terms were uncon.
ditional surrender. There was no dis
cussion about slaves, and payment for
thema nor about Union, nor that other
things would be granted.

friend, stephen w. Blount of Texas:
How can any sane person be expected
to believe that any such proposition.
vas made by President Lincoln to the
Confederate Commits ssioners. or was
submitted to the Confederate govern
ment and rejected by either. The con-
ference was informal, no official re-
ports were made of it. It was short
and no practical results.
In the Richmond Dispatch date1
February 8th. 1866. is this item of
n naWs:

cancelled mortgages. There are
seven series now in force and one Of
them will mature within the next few
months.
The total number of shares in force
now is 1886 an dthere are 152 stock
holders in the association, which.
shows that it is being well patronized.
One remarkable feature of the asso-
citation is the small amount of expense
attached to conducting its affairs.
There is no rent, only SO salaries,
S27S.24 in taxes and a small advertis-
irg and printing account. The First
Bank and Trust company furnished
