RAIN AND COLD SPELL

Snow, rain and near-freezing tenn
peratures continued throughout the
south Tuesday. A mixture of snow
and rain fell intermittently in Allan
ia throughout the day, and five other
southern states beside Georgia, re-
ported snowfall.
Peaks of the Blue Ridge mountains
of North Carolina were snow-cap-
ped following heavy fall in the
mountain section. Virginia, South
Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee
were the other states visited by the
first snow flurries of the winter.
Temperatures in the south ranged
from within two and three degrees of
freezing in several sections. Rising
temperatures in Florida followed that
states first touch of winter Monday,
when the murcury tumbled to as low
as 46 degrees. Atlanta's minimum
Tuesday was 81.
Fair and warmer weather was ex-
pect;ed Wednesday in many of the
sections that shivered Tuesday.

Asheville, Oct. 26-With seven

terrific explosion of some sort SEEM

when to the right place when he

Working on the well-known theory
chat an ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure, the firemen pro-
ceeded to put this threatening fire
out before it reached disastrous pro-
portions, They relieved Helton of
his dynamite and that part of the
rubbing alcohol that was yet avail
able, and had the man locked up in
the city jail.

400 ARE DEAD in
ARMENIAN QUAKE
Series of Shocks in Ancient Repub
lie Bring Death and Terror;
5000 Orphans Are Safe

Leninakan, Armenia, Oct. 23.-A
terrible earthquake which shook the
whole of the Armenian republic Fri.
day night killed or buried alive more
than 400 persons in and around Len
inakan, formerly Alexandropol. Half
of the town was destroyed and hard
ly building escaped damage.
The injured are believed to run in
to the thousands, although in most
cases the injuries were comparative
ly small The combustion and terror
among the populace were heightened
by erroneous reports that Mt. Ararat,
of Biblical renown, was erupting.
The death roll undoubtedly would
have, been far greater had not the
principal shocks been preceded by
lesser tremors, which drove the resi-
dents into the streets. In this way
they escaped the worst effect of the
latter shocks which continued at in
tervals until midnight.
That a still greater tragedy was
averted was due to the solidity of the
old Czarist building lodging about
