EARTHQUAKE FELT
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
TremOr of Slight But Distinct
Nature Occurred About
5.i5 p. NJ. Monday.
NO DAMAGE YET REORTED
Dishes Broken at WipusborO and
Shock Felt i'm Other Section.

Atlanta, Feb. 21.-An earth
tremor of slight, but distinct,
nature, that made itself felt
throughout Georgia, North and
South Carolina, Virginia and
portions of Eastern Tennessee
and Alabama, was reported
early tonight as having been
felt at about 5. 45 P. NJ, Cen
tral time, today. In no case was
any damage reported, and while
in some instances persons hur-
riedly left buildings there was
nothing in the nature of a
panic.
The only seismograph known
to be in the section affected by
the tremor is at Mobile, Ala.
where the instrument recorded
brief shocks. Most reports
agreed that the tremor passed
from east and west and was felt
only momentarily. In Augusta
Ga, and several other places,
however, three distinct shocks
we're reported. At other point
only one tremor was felt.
The earth shock either did not
reach Florida or was so slight
as not to be felt there. according
to reports here tonight.
