Statttville Missionary, Home on Furlough,
Says Japan had Been Expecting
Another Big Earthquake
for Years?Land of Disasters.
By Rev. J. H. Brady in "Landmark"
"It's about time for another big
Due 1**
Not very comforting: words to hear
bui the third floor of the Y. M. C. A.
administration building began to
bhnke and rock! We forgot our Japanese
it w??j some time
before we could settle down to it
again. Plenty came, such as they
were, and sometimes a typhoon came
with them. But still the "big one"
that was due faded to show up. This
was while we were living in Tokio
during the school year of li#17-J15.
It was with no small degree of satisfaction
and comfort that we moved
away from this great center of th?
emnire. and e&llhnuake belt to a
place "way* down south.'* Typhoons
still came our way but while earthquakes
continued to make our hearts
beat faster now and then they were
never known to have done much damage
in that section.
Today however the empire is in
mourning, for the "big one" has
come! Her capital city is in ruins
her finest and most important port
city is iri rains, and a long chain of
towns and cities down to and including
the splendid city of Nagoya, are
destroyed or frightfully wrecked
Hundreds of thousands dead, millions
homeless and hungry and panic
stricken. An earthquake unparaleled
in history, typhoons, a tidal wave,
innumerable tires: these have all combined
to make the most aw ful disaster
that has ever befallen thut land of
disasters.
Perhaps no other country has suffered
so much from these powerful
forces of nature and yet perhaps nc
other country owes more of its beauty
to them.
The reports that have come to us
so far are far from being satisfactory
and until accurate and complete
reports the natural desire and ten
dency is to believe the reports art
exaggerated.
I wish I could find comfort in tht
thought that such was the case. Bui
being familiar with that land as i
am, 1 can easily believe the loss ol
life has been as great if not greatei
than thus far reported. Four millioi
people live iin Tokio and its suburb:
four million people in a city of nar
row, crooked streets. Hard to escap<
from at any time and next to impos
sible when many of these nar
row streets are blocked by wreckei

FRED A. OLDS
The romance of a tour in the Noit.lt j-u
arolina mountain region is something
which never "wears' off" So
lwhen Fred II May the editor of the
I I :o:r News Topic, and tin* write: y
"bunched their hits" in an auto tour f(
| oi what folks call the "Lost Prov- u
t jure.*' the hiirb and cool and lovelv
[counties of Alleghany, Ashe and \Va u
<ra. ri super-heated -)u!y, there was (
real thriii from start to finish. ]1
; o counties have "poured their
s'.bstaiVc'e" into Tennessee or Virgin : in.
because the railways in Watauga i
:ni in Ashe run northward, A gha .
1 being as yet Utterly '"rail roadless?* .
The route from Lenoir j^oes by Pat- ,
terson, on the upper Yadkin River. v
here clear and fine, a saucy moun- .
turn stream which operates its first ^
mill. Before it enters South Carolina r
it operates many another plant and v
lights many a town. The road buii- ..
dors were at work all along the line .
from Lenoir to the top of the Blue j ^
Ridge at Blowing Rock and the steam j ^
;jdr?tl, the steam shovel and dynamite | (
|were seen or heard all along the way. j

|v;sh that its main street, of ragged f
i; shacks mainly, could be swept away.
; It is out of line in the lovely rooun;;
tains and the new building creations
' ;ind spoils the landscape.
The new hotel at Blowing Rock,
,1 the May view, on the very rim of the j
mighty cliff, is a delight. It is under1
the same management as the noted t
; Carolina hotel at Pinehurst and has!
drawn tourists from all parts of the
South, yet three fourths of them are! *
I :r->m North Carolina and South Car- c

(ireen Park and May view is building
another. Houses of stone and of chest- *
; nut bark are greatly in vogue in what 1
- may be termed the new Blowing Rock I
The Mayview is a sort of Aladdins *
palace and its dining room with col- T
' umns and fireplace of snowy quartz !
seems to be the creation of one of
: the "genie." The real life of Blowing f

I h
M iss Annie Dougherty a few days j tj
jo 3ang at chapel exercises of the ' 0
ppalachian School a solo, in a most! w
easing and attractive manner. ,
Rev. Norinan H. Camp, an evange- G]
t of Chicago has talked at Chapel w
'.e.cises of the School and conduct- vj
1 devotional exercises fo?* several tv
ivs. Mr. Camp has been holding ev-J ir
.gelistic services in the Baptist a
lurch in. Boone for three weeks, and e(
eaching very strongly some Bible] ej
ictrine not generally preached at
is day. bur. which he and others' ec
ink should be especially stressed j?1
this time. These relate for the jr,
osi part of what the Bible speaks
as "the last days." One of his ol
rmons was on the Return of the jn
ws to Palestine in which he se.id
ey were returning at a rapid rate.
nother was about the seeon 1 com- ^
g of the Saviour. In a later dismrse
he displayed a map showing tr
e different ages of the world from u.
e Creation to the Saviour's Second ^
laming. Mr. Camp uses th: so rip ires
very fully as proof of his po- t
tions and makes his sermons very i J
ear and impressive. On Sunday he
reached to a very large e^agrcrraon
on the subject: "Lost Sheep;"
specially for the children ar.d for p
ie young people. He uses a black
jar<i to illustrate his sermons and
i* made this sermon very impressive ;
nd attractive to children. On Sunny
afternoon he gave a most iinressive
sermon on "The Signs of the ^
imes" in which he held his audience j t
>r more thai: an hour at the closest ^
hile he related <hv various signs in- |

he third he spoke of the falling aw- (
y of the tiv< Faith which was liar- 1 ,

cws were returning to Jerusalem!
ust as pivphecy said they would at

,D MliST STAY
I ARCH SAYS COIRT
tond Denied One Mile* Love Placed
in J*il Here Last Week on Motf
Horrible Charge.
On last Saturday when Miles Love
as brought into court charged with
le slaying of his three year old child
lie grand jury had bec-r. discharged
' as impossible for his ease to come
p for trial a*, this term of court,
owever habeas corpus proceedings
ere heard before Judge Finley and
he prisoner was remanded to jail
ithout bond.
Four state witnesses were examind
and the evidence was most damping
in every instance. It showed
?at even ten years ago soon after
fieir first child was born that the
rife was chased from home by her
usband, carrying with her through
ie darkness of the night her babe
my two months old. Other evidence
as that a later time he shot at her
le ball passing near her head, and
n that eventful Sunday the las',
ords he said to his wife were so
le, that they cannot be put into
pe. He stepped into the yard, gun
hand, the witness proceeding him
few steps, when he cursed and fir1
into the house, the bullet taking
feet in the right side of the child's
*ad. Trivett heard it fall and rushI
i 1 to find the little girl weltering
her own blood, the wife screamer:
"Lord have mercy, don't let him
II me too!" He carried the child
it on the porch and later took her
anu laid her on the bed. the fath
never showing even the slightest
notion Death did not occur until
uesday.
As the evidence now stands the
agedy is a fearful one. unless new
itnesses develop who will ameliorate
to some extent.
