flames roared and buildings top
pied in the heart of Toxic, the
leaders in state craft were assem-
bled in the naval club to form a
cabinet to succeed that of the late
Premier Kato. Dispatches de-
scribing this were received yester-
day by the Radio Corporation of
America. The reports said the
naval club collapsed and was de-
stroyed by fire during the meeting.
No mention was made of casual
ties there, but another wireless
message told of the formation of
the cabinet and gave the names of
its members.

A feature of the opening exercises
was the large attendance of patrons
and friends of the school, who add
ed to the interest by their express
sions of pledged cooperation and
helpfulness with the school faculty
and student body.
Despite general conditions much
enthusiasm was manifested in the
opening, with the enrolment unus-
ually good. The outlook is for a most
successful year.

CATASTROPHE PREDICTED
DURING JUNE, 1921.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The
probable cause of the great earth
quake in Japan will not be known
for many weeks. according to Faith
er Francis Tondorf, astronomer
and seismologist Of the George
town University here. 1t is like
ly, however, he added, that the
tremors will be found to have been
"teutonic" or caused by the slip
ping of rock strata at great depths
due to faulting or tensile stresses.
Father Tondorf, considered one
of the worlds eminent seismolo-
fists, was the first observed in this
country to report that catastro-
phe had occurred. He notified
the Associated Press early Satur-
day morning that a quake of I'M
usual intensity had occurred at a
distance found afterward to be
within 100 miles of the center of
disturbance. When the reports of
seismologists throughout the world
become available to Japan scien-
lists, said Father Tondorf today,
it will be possible for them to
plot the approximate center of the
tremors and inspection of the geo.
logical features in that vicinity
will give data upon which to base
conclusions.
Earthquakes are of two classes,
it was explained, volcanic and teu-
tonic.
The nature of the seismographi-
cal records observed and the fact
that on unusual action among Jap
anese or nearby volcanoes was re-
ported prior to the quake tend to
show that volcanic activity subse-
quently was the result and not the
cause of the earthquake. Volcanic
tremors, also, while sometimes eX-
ceedingly violent locally are not
widely distributed through the
earth's crust.
japanese scientists have advanc-
ed the theory that heavy rainfall
in the northwest section of the
Japanese islands increasing the
stress on underlying rocks adds to
the strains which cause faulting
and rock slips.
In this connection Father Ten,
dorf recalled a scientific prophecy
made by a japanese seismologist
in June, 1921, that within sly
years Japan would be visited by ;
great catastrophe quake. Thi
statement was based upon the OBJ
servation that intense quakes oc
cur after a period of decreased
tremblings of lesser intensity
while a period of continuous ligh
shocks denotes normal readjustinl
of lower rock strata.
Such a quiescent period proceed
ed the present earthquake. Lighte
tremors since Saturday which hav
been recorded here as we'll as else
where, FJther Tondorf added
were undoubtedly shocks of ere
adjustment.

COMMISSIONERS TURN
DOWN HEALTH BOARD
Budget of $3.50 Declined by
Commissioners Who Will
Approve Only $1,000

The Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting Monday
fIatly turned down budget of &c.
$50 suggested by majority OF the
members of the Board of Health as
necessary to carry on the work OF
that body. At this meeting the COM
missioners were informed by DR.. j.
Wade Chambliss of the vacancy in
the office of health commissioner,
due to the resignation of DR.. b. +.
Bond.
In presenting the budget, DR..
Chambliss explained to the mem
bers of the Board of Commission
ers the uses to which it was pro-
posed to put the money asked, and
suggested that after such appropria-
ton had been made the Board of
Health be held responsible for re-
suits attained. The budget, DR..
Chambliss said, would have allowed
progressive work in the malaria
elimination campaign to continue,
with reasonable assurance that de-
sired results would have been OBJ
tanned.
The budget was formulated, DR..
Chambliss said, at a meeting of the
Board of Health at which Chairman
Neil A. Ray, Of the Board of County
Commissioners was not present, this
fact being explained to the county
commissioners when the budget was
presented. The other members of
the Board of Health are DR.. Cham
bliss and E. W. Dupree, county
school superintendent.

TEACHERS TO.
MEET HERE SATURDAY
School Authorities VIII Put on
Program Designed to Bring
About Get-Together

A meeting of the teachers of
the county has been called for
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in
the office of the county superin-
tendent in the basement of the
court house, according to E. w.
Dupree, who authorized the an.
nouncement today.
Prof. E. L. Bridges, principal of
the Plains schools, will be pres
ent and in charge of a program
which is intended to be of unusual
interest to teachers and principals.
Following the program business
session will be held in which it is
expected the entire assembly will
join.
THE purpose Of the meeting"
said Mr.. Dupree, lis to assemble
the teachers of the county in a
get-together meeting in which theit
problems, views and counsel will
be heard. 1t was my observation
that last year there was a lack
of uniformity in the teaching of
the various text books, that is, pu-
pills in one part of the county
studying certain part of a pre-.
scribed text would be anywhere
from 35 to so pages ahead or be-
hind other pupils. The meeting
Saturday is for the purpose of
Graduating this discrepancy in the
county schools, fixing the time to
be spent on certain studies in or
der that pupils attending a school
in one part of the county, sudden
ly transferred to another school
may enter Immediately into the
lessons of the new school without
delay or interruption.
at is the purpose of the meet
ing to study grading and correlat.
ing work, and to promote a spirit
of cooperation in the rural schools
which will speak for better and
greater advancement both to teach
ers and pupils than has ever beer
attempted in the county. The corps
of teachers is splendid, and there
is every reason that Sumter should
continue to lead in educationa
work. The discussion will come up
also, about having, regular coop
erative meetings Of the teachers
and this is expected to go owe
the top unanimously.
There will be a Dutch lunch
con at the Tea Room at the. con
clusion Of the meeting" said Mr.
Dupree, "and it is expected tina
the entire body of county teacher.
will be present"

REPUBLICANS IN GA
FACE BIG SHAKE-UP
Return of Phillips and Slemp Ex-
pected to Be Signal For New
Alignment

ATLANTA, Sept. 4. - With
Chairman j. Louis Phillips, of the
Republican central committee,
scheduled to return to Georgia
this week, political observers are
watching with keen interest just
how his return may precipitate a
reorganization in Republican party
affairs in the state, as influenced
by the appointment of j. Bascom
Slemp as secretary to President
Coolidge.
1t is said tina Mr.. Phillips has
been in Washington for the purpose
of comforting with organization
leaders and his followers, as well
as his opponents, are eagerly await
ing just what tidings he will bring
from national headquarters. Dur
ing Mr.. Phillips absence. Georgia
Republican affairs have been di-
rected by Vice-Chairman Crawford
who has declined to comment on the
probable effect of Slemp's appoint
ment as President Coolidge's aide
1t is indicated in press dispatch
es that Mr.. Slemp will function
more significantly in party organi.
cation plans any other man who
has filled secretary's post ir
many years. If this be true, say
the observers, pointing anew to the
developments that were forecast di
rectly in the wake of Mr.. Slemp'
appointment, there undoubtedly will
be a shake-up in Georgia patron
age.

MALARIA PROBLEM FOR

Big Question of Sanitation Today
Is How to Get Public Inter-
ested in Own Welfare
START CAMPAIGN AT ONCE
Results Show That Malaria Elm
nation Work Returns Big
Dividends in Actual Cash

ATLANTA, Sept. 4.-Dr. j. A.
LePrince, senior sanitary engineer
of the United States Public Health
SerTice here says that malaria is
considered a rural problem, but in
malaria infested states it has as
much to do with urban progress as
any other factor.
THE big question today in this
branch of sanitation, as well as in
others, says DIR. lie Prince, 1.-The
medical profession understands
this but the commercial interests
and the laymen of this and adjac-
ent states have not seen the vast
Importance of the situation yet,
probably because the matter has
not yet been so presented as to
obtain their cooperation.
''If a community starts out to
obtain better roads, better schools,
increased transportation facilities,
public parks, or other benefits, and
succeeds, it will be found. that in
nearly all cases the results achieved
are due to the combined efforts of
the business men of the community
who look at the matter in a bust
ness-like way, decide what they de-
sire, and then work hard and con-
tinuously until the desired object
is achieved
when malaria control measures
wer first started in our country
six years ago, a strong effort wac
made to interest communities with
high malaria sick rates to elimin-
ate or control this unnecessary and
preventable disease, but the results
were far from satisfactory then.
City and town commissioners did
not seem that there was any strong
public sentiment demanding such
action. 7t'"
I'm towns or villages having
only one industry or several bust
ness enterprises of the same nature,
where the output of the factory or
mill was seriously reduced during
the late summer autumn, the bust
ness directing these Industries real
ized the loss was due to malaria.
In two villages drainage measures
were begun not because these bust
ness men were certain Of the
great success that was achieved,
but because they were able to fore
see that even partial success
would bring results that would pay
a very satisfactory dividend on the
sum they invested.
The results achieved enabled
the mills involved to make a much
larger annual profit than had OBJ
tanned before, and as a result 9th.
er mill villages became interested.
The secondary results were that
citizens of neighboring villages
and towns became interested, and
some of their business men decided
that similar measures should be
undertaken in their communities.
ut would seem therefore that
the medical men can do valuable
service to their town, county
state and country by arousing g
strong interest among business
men in their several communities
Business men understand better
than the rest of us that progress
