Disturbance of 1 fil2 is Now Forgotten Except in Territory that Suf fered from Calamity. Recent reports from various points in the Mississippi valley telling of slight earthquake shocks are unusual; but they seem extraordinary, like ex tremes of temperature and other out of-the-way W'eather phenomena, only because man’s memory is short, says n bulletin from the, Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geor grnphic society. “One of the world's greatest earth quakes, and certainly the most severe in American since the days of Colum bus, occurred in the heart of the Mis sissippi valley in 1811 and 1812," con tinues the bulletin. "Fortunately there were few towns and no bridges and rams and railroads to be destroyed in those days, for the pioneers had just begun the westward push that was quickly to spread population and de velopment all the way to the Pacific. Destruction in Pioneer £lfettlements. “The center of the disturbance was almost exactly in the bed of the Mis sissippi river about 50 miles south of !the mouth of the Ohio. The little town I of Caruthersville, in what is now the j southeast corner of Missouri, lay .where the quakes were greatest. It was totally destroyed, though its In habitants escaped both falling timbers and river waves and found refuge on a 1 nearby hill. New Madrid, on the river a few miles to the north, suffered al most as much. ‘This region has practically no h^rd rocks, hut consists of beds of clay and sand several thousand feet deep. It is irr such formations that earthquakes cause greatest damage since the rela tively' loose ground is easily moved, [great earth billows roll, and cracks form. Made Mississippi Run Backward. “The bed of the'Mississippi which* hat lain to quietly, to the knowledge of the past two generations, was mo mentarily obstructed near New Mad rid. Its water flowed violently up stream and sloshed from side to side, destroying numerous boats at that river emporium. Great fissures opened in the surrounding country and jets of sand spouted out as they did in an other disastrous American earthquake at Charleston, S. C., 75 yea*rs later. Seismographs did not exist in those days but the tremors of thp Great Mississipi valley earthquake. w(«re ac tually felt as far north as the Cana dian border and as far south as the city of New Orleans. A hundred miles to the east boulders were shaken from mountain cliffs. Created Numerous Lakes. “The earthquake of 1811-12 is not merely a dim riemory. It left its marks deep in the countryside. Reel foot lake, 34 miles long and four or more wide, in the northwest corner of Tennessee, with its great geographic contribution. A heavily forested sec tion sank to form this new body of water, and the gaunt stumps of thou sands of trees protruding from parts of the lake tell the story to this day. The land about the lake retains the form of the huge billows into which it was thrown, and which become ap parent when the section is viewed fropi nn airplane. •[Numerous smaller lakes were foiynijd by the earthquake west of the Missisisipfn* in which is now Missouri and Arkansas, Careful geological ex amination .••till discloses xraccs of deep fissures that were opened up in 1811, and which time, weather and vegeta tion have not been able to hide.” BREATHER ELLIS SUCCUMBS AT HOME OF HIS DAUGHTER GpAfney Lodger. The Rev. J, L. Ellis, retired Bap tist minister, died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Tate, on Broad ri^er, where he had been living the past two months. The funeral service will be held today at Cherokee church, it was announced yesterday. Mr. Ellis had been indisposed for the pafit fi W days, but big condition was not regarded as serious until yes terday morning when ho was seized With a heart, attack that proved fatal. He was over 70 years old. Mr. Ellis is survived by one son, John Ellis, and three daughters, g_s follows Mrs. Fetner Reynolds, Mrs. John Potter and Mrs. Arthur Tate. He lived in Gaffney the past 10 to 15 years With the exception of about a year and a half spent at Kings Mountain, N. C. He returned to Gaffney a few months ago. -1 “Jazz is like measles." says Ken tucky University music head. But it is much more catchy. cars IT is true thaj«we spend lavishly on Studebaker cars. But it’s all to your advantage. It is by that spending th^t we give you the greatest Valufe in the fine-car field. We offer prices no one matches on any comparable cars. That lavish spending led people last year to pay $200,000,000 for Studebaker cars. And that volume brings our prices down to where they arp. $50,000,000 in plants Studebaker assets are $30,030,000. In modern plants and equipment wei have $50,000,000. Seventy per cent of that amount was spent America. The Light-Sis: more than any competitive car within $1,000 of its price. in closed cars we offer wondrous luxury. The lining is Chase Mohair, made from the fine fleece of Angora goats. Velour would cost iba'tifcittnO-; third that, saving up to $100 a car. Note those bumpers, that steel trunk, those extra disc wheels with cord tires on some models. Note that extra courtesy light. Think what they would cost if you bought them, The cost of care 7 he unvarying standards in S;ude hah .r cars are fixed by a department Then we pay extra for continuous service. Last year, 13.000 men in our factories got anniversary checks -*• total $1,300,000. After five years ofr service those checks amount to 10% j,; ■ of their wages. Wc spend $2,000,000 yearly on ot»r . *-y co-operative work for men. Eve. y year v/e give factory em ployes one week’s vacation with pay. ^ That cost us $225,000 last year. Wo sell them stock on attractive terms We retire old employes on pensions. \ ° Ail this to keep men happy, to foster morale, and to keep men with m the past seven years. So it represents the last word in equipment. $3,000,000 in drop Forge plants, so every vital part is made to Studebaker standards. $10,000,000 in body plants, so Studebaker ideals may be shown in every body. All that is staked in a permanent way on satis fying line-car buyers bet ter than our rivals. What extras cost Lack of vibration is a famous Studebaker fea ture. We get that by ma chining crank shatts ar. they were in Liberty Air plane Motors. That extra cost is over $500,000 yearly. Don’t Buy Blindly vStudebakar is today the leader in the fine-car field. It has trade this concern the largest builder of quality cars In the world. You can find nothing in cars at $1,000 or over to compare with StUdebaker values. Studebaker sales have almost trebled in the past three years. The growing demand is tae sensation of Motordom. For 72 years the name Studebaker has stood for Quality and class. But never 30 much as today. Then don’t buy a car at $1,000 or over without learning what we offer. --^ efficiency. Not extravagance Do such things seem extravagant? They are not. All those extra dol lars save more dollars for our buyers. They result in the cars you see, in the prices and values we offer. Nothing else in the field can com pare. Those values have re v suited in a demand for 150,000 cars per year. That volume cuts our costs in two, as compared with limited production. The cause of over prices — under-values — is not lavish expenditure. It is ®v i Matchless endurance is another famous feature. One Studebaker Six, still in active use, has run 475,000 milc3 since IS!8. We get that through costly steels. On some we pay 15% bonus to makers to get formulas exact. Eeauty of finish is another su premacy. But that finish requires many operations, including 15 coats of paint and varnish. Our real leather cushions cost $25 per car over imitation leather. Every Studebakcr car is Timken equipped. The Special-Six and the Big-Six have more Timken bearings than any car selling under $5,600 in LIGHT « §IX 5-Pass. 112' W. B. 40 H. P.
