pointment, it is charged, was a gross
violation of the civil service and it
has created a feeling of anxiety
among the host of civil service em
ployees of the government. If a man
like Arthur Powell Davis who has for
Twenty years directed the work of
reclamation, holding his position un
der civil service, can be fired for a
politician with no technical training,
why the civil service is nothing but
a joke.
The Coolidge novelty has worn off
and many of his callers have now be
come critical of his mechanical, wood
en effort to be charming. Doubt is
being expressed that he is the extra
ordinary man he was at first assured
to be. But the most significant fact
that he ra no longer feared is the in
creased activity of his opponents to
beat him for the nomination for -President.
To check this activity the
President's friends sent out word re
cently that all favorite son candidates
should be suppressed so that the man
agers of the party could prevent con
fusinn and a deadlocked convention.
Other candidates were exhorted to
give the President a chance to show
his hand.
But the Republicans have reason to
he for more depressed over two or
three other events than the wearing
off the Coolidge novelty. In Indiana
they have a first class scandal on
their hands in the failure of Governor
MrCrav. the biggest farmer in the
State, for $3,000,000. The party is j
so badly divided over the question of j
havini' the governor resign, that the ,
State is reported certain to go Demo- 1
cratic next year. 1
In New Jersey the Republicans are !
split asunder over prohibition. For- !
iner Senator Frelinghuysen is lead-
ing the drys and Senator Edge the!
wets ami they have raised the biggest
political row the State has ever
known. The i.dge followers are the

the Pennsylvania bonier. Republi
cans in Washington say the State is
lost to the party.
The national leaders of the party
are scratching their heads over the
almost stupendous problem of re
covering the Northwest and there ia

OF EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN
Tells of the Terrible Suffering of the People and the Great Loss
of Laves and Property Gives interesting Account of His
Visit to Mt. Asama, an Active Volcano.
The following letter from Rev. J.
C. Auman to his sister, Mrs. J. W.
Austin, of High Point, will interest
many of our patrons. Mr. Auman is
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Au
man, of Seagrove. He and his bride
are in JaPan as missionaries from the
Methodist Pretatant rhnrrh
Karingawa, Japan.
Sept. 22nd, 1923.
As I write this letter my house
hold is taking the usual Sunday af
ternoon nap. Rest seems to be need
ed more these days than ever, when
the island upon which we live is
in such a disturbed condition. Yes
terday we had another severe earth
quake, which was rather nerve reck
ing. 1 was in the bank when the
first shock came. Everyone ran for
the street. The first shock was fol
lowed bv smaller ones which have
pulled themselves out into to-day.
Nothing of a very serious nature was
done here, but from the rumors, for
all direct connections between Tokio
and Yokohoma have been broken,
those two cities have suffered worst.
All the big buildings have been de
stroyed. In the city of Tokyo fire
has broken out in live places, and a
tidal wave has swept away a part of
the city, and as many as fifty thous
and people in the two cities have
lost their lives. The quake is a re
sult of the erruption of a volcano
which has been found in one of the
islands near Tokyo bay. How
ever as I say before these reports
are not definite. Probably I will be
able to confirm or unconfirm them
before I close this letter. Nagoya
seems to be all right. We are hoping
to go down in a few days.
I am dreading a little all the work
which I will have to do when I sjgt
back to Nagoya. I suppose the work'
will not be as bad as the responsibili
ty of deciding things. I shall do tht
best I an.
While I am writing about earth
quakes and volcanoes, I had better
tell you about Sadie and I climbing
Mt. Asama which is an active volca
no, but is fairly quiet, now. We
started from Karingyawa at 4:30
in the afternoon, taking a little train
which carried us in about 4 miles of
the place where we were to begin to
climb. Our train was late, so it was
almost dark before we got started on
our walk through the desert country.
Just at dark it began raining and
rained on us all of the way to the
tea-house. We didn't have any guide,
which made our traveling through
the country very difficult. We fin
ally reached the tea house at 8
o'clock, here we had to sleep on the
floor until I "2 o'clock at night, when
we b"gan climbing, lly this lime we
were ten strong, 2 men and N girl.,
going through a narrow piece of very ' "
small woods. We began to ascend!'"

I have been a long time closing
this letter, but I have been waiting,
hoping to get some definite figures
as to the loss of life and property, as
result of the earth quake but I fin
it impossible since we are almost
completely cut off from Tokyo and
Yohohama, where the earthquake was
the worst. I have never heard of
more terrible. The people were
cooking their dinner when the quake
came, hence the cause of so many
fires. One man, who was in 1
Tokyo at the time, said he could :
count 43 fires shortly after the first I
tk AiA tu ,,tot ;
quake. The fires did the greatest
damage. Lot of valuables could have
been saved from the rubbish, had it
no been for the fires. They say most
ill of the city of Yokohama was de
stroyed and half of the city of Tokyo.
The first quake, which was so se
vere, took the people by surprise,
which of course is always the case of
an earthquake. Buildings by the
hundreds and thousands fell flat
Numbers were let down into the earth

ASHEBORO CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE ORGANIZED
Iarge Number of People Ex
press Desire to Join Was
Much Needed.
The Asheboro Chamber of Com
merce has been revived and was per
manently organized last Thursday
night with the following officers:
Presiuent, Dr. J. C. Crutchfield; vice
president, W. A. Gregory; treasurer,
T. Fletcher Bulla; secretary, G. H.
King. The board of directors are:
E. J. Millsaps, W. A. Gregory,
Charles Redding, E. L. Hedrick, G. H.
King, T. F. Bulla. Dr. M. G. Edwards
and J. F. Cranford. ,
A canvass for members is being
made and it is to be hoped that this
new Chamber of Commerce will be
placed on a sound safe footing and
it will do for Asheboro what it should
do under proper management. The
membe'-ship fee will be $20 a year,
A large number of people have ex-
pressed a desire to join. The need
for a chamber of commerce has been
great for some time and it is expect
ed that it will be of inestimable val
ue to the town and count.
A chamber of commerce gets a
community oiganized into a unit. By
this union of effort much can be ac
complished. Every merchant, busi
ness and professional nun: diould join
and inpte m an effort to build up the
town. Tin' town has steadily grown
and the prospects are now letter than
ever before. Building is going up in
every di i ect ion, not only on the main
a roots bu. on the side sheets. The
building and loan
associations should
be encouraged for they are great
town builders. Theie are two splen
did associations in Asheboro that are
doing much to upbuild the town.
