BRYANT RUFFIN HINNANT.
In the death of Bryant II. Hinnant,
which occurcd at hi residence, on the
first day of September, 1886, Johnston
county loses one of 1 er best and most use
ful citizens. Ho was born in Johnston
county on the 5th df.y of January, 188C,
and was tbtrelore in the 71st year of his
He was twice happily married, and was
the . fat her of .ixtecn childrcu-nine of
whom preceded him in entering the silent
tomb. lie leaves a widow and seven
children to mourn his death four of whom
now Jive in feoutn Carolina, lhe writer
Was frequently at th home of th deceas
ed, and enjoyed his generous hospitality
w . 1 . a
and social entertainment: ana tuougn a
man of limited muanr, he lived well and all
about him seemed to be happy and con
tented. It may truly be said of him, that
he was a true friend and neighbor, an af
fectionate and gentle father, and a devoted
and loving husband.
The deceased was confined to bis bed
22nd of May, 1835, and was able to leav
his room, but a few times afterward. Ilia
disease was pronounced B right's disease of
the kidneys. His sufferings were immense,
but be endured them patiently, and seemed
to want to give his family and attendants
as little concern and uneasiness as possi
ble; and when the fatal hour came beseem
ed to be resigned to death, but regretted
leaving his family, and his children scat
tcrod as they arc.
The deceased was a man of pure motives,
strong common sense, and a goodly store
ot useful and practical information, ilence
he filled many important trusts at the
h mds of the people. He served a number
of years as Sheriff of the cunt-. Also
quite a number of years as chairman of
the court of Pleas aid Quarter sessions.
He represented Johnston county in the
Legislatures of 186-'67 and of 1S68 '69,
and in all the charges of corruption againt
the latter legislature, not one can be laid
at the door of B R Hinnant. He was one
of the few that emerged from the same
with clean hands. He was also a member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1875,
from Johnston county. He served as
Commissioner of Deeds for the State of
Tennacsee from 1874 to the time of his
death. He has served as Justice of the
Peaco of Johnston county, far over 40
years, and of him it lias been frequently
remarked that he was the best J. P., in
the county. And in all his official relations
he stands without spot or blemish, and has
proved true and faithful to every trust con
fided to him.
In politics tbe dece ised was an oh! line
Whig up to the disintegration of the party.
After the war he allied himself with the
Republican party, and was one of its mct
worthy leaders. He wa3 always on tho
side ot the people, an & opposed all meas
ures abridging their right an-J privileges,
and his efforts and sympathies were ever
inlistcd in behalf of the weak and op
pressed.
It may also by truly said of him, that
an honest man, and ti true friend ' of tho
people has passed away.

THE J4l..i; OFTIIE EARTH
QUAKE.
A Review of the facts.
Henry W Grady in the A'ew York World.
Let us' discard the false stories to he-
gin with. There Was no cross of fire seen
above the doomed city. That item wa
answered in Capt Dawson's boast lht it
wa a devout Irishman who firt saw it.
Tlicre was no vivid streak of fire that
flashed like a stroke of lightning do wo the
length of Meeting street. There was no
atmospheric disturbance whatever. The
water that issued from the fLures opened
by the shock was not hot as well as sul
phurous. It was about the nsa I tempera
ture of artesian water. The fissures did
not' throw water to tho height of twenty
or thirty feet. With these exeeptioas I
have heard no rumor concerning the earth-
quake that was not true in substance, if
not in detail.' Now, let us review what
actually did happen.
.First The original shock, taking
Charleston as the centre, lasted from 17 to
20 seconds, certainly not longer than 25
seconds. The motion was a succession of
sharp plunges towards the earth, with
sharp and immediate recovery, the oscilla
tions being about equal. In changing the
motion from east to west, there was, per
haps, a. twisting, as chianeya and lamps
were w reached half-way round after the
15 seconds of oscillation. There were sub
siding tremors circulating for perhaps three
minutes, nothing liko the first oscillation,
however, and no new impulse.
rf rwrt i t t
conu i ne shocks nave neen .lenew-
ea a imervau. ior. uaya longer, wu.
none of fierce energy of the first shock.
Perhaps there is no more disturbance in
the later shovks thin would result from
an enormous mass re adjusting itself after
sudden dislocation. Prof. IfcGce held' that
such was the case with the later shocks re
ported to him at Charleston. He said,
however, if the new shocks at Summenille
V( re as violent as reported they would be
inexplicable by the theory of settling or
readjustment of the curth. and would indi
cate new disturbances. Mt MeGcc has
jurt wirixl that he considers the later
shocks at Sutnmervillo sin ply the dying
out trciU'irs of the first displaceoumt.
Third The earthquake was aecoiu
panied by a dull, roaring noise which, out
lasted the first shock by a half-hour and
returned with every sabsequent tremor.
The roaring is under ground and best do
rog J
In the cities it U mingled with the rattle
of glass ami the rumble of rocking houses.
In the country it is heard as plainly as a
cannon-ide or thunder. It has never been
so loud as with the first shock, but has
brew heard with every tremor. Listeners
declare that it has none of the sharp.grind
ing sound of rough friction, but rather the
dell, mellow sound of air or steam thun-
drin in cavities.
Fourth. The fissuics in the ground
are of irregular shape. Usually they dis
charge a biackish water and fine sand, or
water -nd blue mud, but not always. The
discharging fissures are usually rounded or
oblong, varying in size from a cup fo a
well, and always swolcn for several feet
around as if the earth had boon pushed up
from below. A gentle swell of white sand,
perhaps a foot high, in tho eentro, glisten
ing with moisture and irowncd just abovcJ
the enter with a pile of blue mud shaped
like a bee-hive that is the usual appear
ance of tho nnund fissure. The water
flows regularly from the base of the blue
mud and jets of mud are pushed op at in
tervals. Wells hsvc filled to the tops and
arc overflowing freely. Everywhere there
appears to have been a bulging from be
nt ath the ground that lifted it up and
forced the water and mud to the surface.
The water did not follow the shock instant
ly, but came perhaps a half hour later. In
an area of ten minutes in every direction
from Summer vi He, holes and fissures are
as burrows in a prairie-doy village. New
ones are opening continually. Tic bottom
has been reached in' none of tbem. In
Charleston there are many flowing fissures,
though they show less plainly in the paved
streets.
Fifth. Prof. Mftflee's theory of the
earthquake is generally accepted. Plainly
stated it is that the Appalachain mountains
are two great formations, the gntnite and
the fragment al. Tbe first extends from
the mountains to aqout Columbia, and the
latter from Columbia to the sea. The first
is the piedmont escarpment and the other
tc coastal plain. The escarpment is granite,
the plain is made up of composite rocks
and fragments resting on a (ranite bed
about 3,000 feet belo sr. The granite bed
that holds this if ass of earth is inclined to
wards the sea, and about 100 miles from
shore it deepens suddenly. The tendency
of the fragmental plain is to slide down the
granite p!ain on which it rests. This ton
dene is iacretscd by the deposits of sand

JOHNSTON COUNTY, SEPTEMBER
down from the mountain. Pr;f. McGce
holds that a seaward slip of this coastal
plain has taken placj, and that the dUtur
bance results from sadden dislocation of an
area 30,000 mifes bread and 3,000 feet
thick. H is reason for believing this arc
that cuch a seaward movement baa been
taking place steadily in the Middle Atlant
ic States and its progress has been accurate
ly noted; that no volcano action eVer dis
turbed anything like so great an area or
could possibly do So; that the so-calltd
volcanic mud and sulphurous water are
simply acarls and salts or solpharets re
leased from the layers of the earth by the
tearing motion and fo: cod upward through
suddenly made rifts; that all the phenome
na of this e&rtt quake ar explicable try
the theory of the land-slide. , bat not by
the volcanic theory and that no roleanie

Tel canoe.
As there will be some writing done on
earthquakes. We will talk a little abov.t
volcanoes.
The best known voJcanoe in the world
is V esuvius which U in Italy, near the
city of Naples. This was not known to bo
a volcano until. A D. 79, over eighteen
hundred years ago, when it suddenly burst
forth and sent out such an immense quant
ity of ashes and cinders as to oerwbclou
two great cities situated near it.
These cities were named Herciilancura
and Pompeii. Almost all their inhabi
tants managed to escape. The ashes that
fell upon Herculanoum were mixed with
steam. Fo that moist ashes gradually
hardened iato stone. -
Poropoii was covered over with dry ashes
so completely that nothing could Ik? seen
of if.. Thus it remained buried until 1748
when it was accident ly discovered. About
one-third of the city bxi been uncovered,
and you can now walk along the streets
and look into the hoasos and sec exactly
how people lived in those days.
Most of the volcanoes arc along thj Pa
cific coast of A&u and South America.
There are more than a thousand voloabocs
in the world. In 1 783 a volcano in Ice
land sent out two streams of laya, one 40
miles long and 7 miles wide, and th other
50 miles long and 15 miles wide. Tiice
streams were from 100 to 600 feet deep.
In this eruption 11,000 cows. 27,000
horses and 186,000 hee perished'. In
tho Island of Java Is a volcano, which in
1772, threw out ashes and cinders; s as
to cover Uio earth fifty feet deep for a dis
tance of seven mih-s all around the moun
tain, thus destroying forty vilages find
twenty thousand people. .
Sometimes volcanoes rise from the -ks.
This happened in 18ifi, near the naviga
tors Island in the Pacific. . Stones, c ud,
and dust were thrown up 2,000 feet, some
of the stones going down met others coin
ing up with a terrible crash, for a great
Way arouud, the water Was in terrible
commotion. Heaps of dead fish were
washed as'iore. While the atmosphere
f jr miles around was heated and filled with
smoke, ashes and sulphurous vapors.

Tlie Durham Plant says: Near the
rcfeidtnee tf Solicitor F. N. Strudwick in
Orange county stands a large locust tree.
Mr. Strudwick has a flek of guineas. One
of these birds flew up into the locust tree
and its head unfortunately came in con
tact with a thorn that pierced its brain and
when discovered it was lifeless, svinnn
with a thorn through its head.
Capt. D. P. Williamson, in a communi
cation in the Keirs-OLwrver, tells how fo
have one aero in clover. ,4Take any aero
on yonr farm, ("stiff land "prefered ) that
will produce four barrels of corner cotton,
or mx hundred pounds of seed cotton. Plow
and cross plow it thoroughly in September
or February, harrow and cross into it 400
pounds of ammoniated guano, sow upon it
fifteen pounds ol red clover seed, and brush
in with a stiff brush, and tlie work is done.
The result has always been satisfactory to
me.
; During the delivery of his charge to the

last week, Jude Clark observed the clerk
whispering to a bystander and fined him
