Whitmire No. 1: Voting at the TRAGEDY OF (Continued from page 1) first; five minutes later, the 3rd, still less violent, but fearful as showing the disturbance is not yet over. Again, at 10:08 and 10:- 48, come slighter shocks and then an interval of respite. The scene in the streets, public squares and open spaces, to which the people had fled to safety, beg gars description. Strong men and weak women alike terror-stricken and unnerved, wait with anxiety what the coming hours shall bring. Many half-clad, with n o shelter above, no resting place but the bare ground, the ever-present fear of new dangers possibly in store—the horrors of that night can hardly be appreciated. The white people, though filled with fear, were for the most part sil ent and reasonably calm. The col ored people gave free vent to their terror in frantic exhorta tions, prayers and loud bewailing. They shouted, prayed and sung by turns, and their clamor added to the excitement and terror of the trying time. Almost simultaneously with the occurence of the first shock, and as a consequence of it, four fires, kindled by broken lamps, burst forth, and later another confla gration was added to the number. The glare from these fires lit up the heavens, and the smoke from them hovered like a pall above the city, which seemed thus threat ened with destruction of what had escaped the earthquake’s violence. Never have firemen, anywhere, in the discharge of their duty, City Hall J. W. Hipp, Jr., Mrs. Marion Duckett, Mrs. Dewey M.
