From the ing, taken from an
old English magazine published 10
1888, it appears that South Carolina
is not stranger to earthquakes:
!, south Carolina, in America, was
shaken by an earthquake in 1911 which
continued tillthe destruction of the city
of Caracas the following year. That city
with upwards oftwenty-five towns and
numerous villas, AID farms to the extent
OF 500 miles were completely destroyed
and nearly so. 900 people were killed and
wounded. The valley of the MISSISSIPPI
nj from New Madrid to the mouths Of
fhe Ohio and st. Francis was convulse3
to such an extent as to cause the forma-
ton of lakes aud islands. A tract Of
country many miles in circumference,
near the liltle. prairie on that river, was
covered with water three or four feet
deep and when it disappeared il left .
plain of sand. Sore were formed in the
course Of an hour.
From the ADORE South Carolina
may have shocks quite while yet.
The city Of Caracas was destroyed
on March IS, 1912; being Good
Friday the churches were crowded,
and thousands we're buried beneath
their ruins.

ACCORDING to the statement ola
steamboat captain, whose boat lay in
Charleston harbor during the FIRST
four days of the earthquake disturbs
ances, one half the story Of the horror
and misery of the scenes has never
been told. This fact should serve to
at once hasten any who may contem-
plate sending aid to the sufferers.

PERSONAL The editor Ofthe Cap
ITAL attended The meeting Of the
city council last night. and while TAX
ing notes Of the proceedings was aek-
Cd by CouDsellor Revsll, Acting
Mayor. il be- would state upon what
grounds he had taken the respoDsi-
bility Of charging the city council
with failure in their duty towards
their suffering fellow citizens at Char
lesion, and remarked as the cause Of
their non actiop.' that there was no
ordinance 10 the code authorizing or
requiring the board to appropriate
money nr.speh purposes. We BRIEF
" replied that the CAPITAL had not,
lin its editorial columns. asked the
council to ., eppEOpriate money out Of
its treasury for auy purpose. What
We had said and what We had meant
was that the Mayor should have CALI
ed the council together, as. was done
10 nearly every city and corporate
town. all Over the country. on the
receipt of the news from Charleston.
and by resolution shown to the in
habitauts of an afflicted sister city
and to the world generally that the
citizens Of Annapolis, in their coIgs.
rate capacity, s5mpathized with J
sufferers Of the i'll fated city; and tNts
they should, by such action as waL
have proper, afforded to our citizens
in their individual capacity, q safe
and speedy means Of. transmitting
their mite Of relief. Tibet was oil we
asked of th, m, though We did hope
that council ere independent enough
to make an appropriation OF money,
even in the absence of any sCritten
law making it their duty to sympa-
thize with and succor the unfortunate
sufferers at Charleston, many Of
W HON, for no fault oftheir own; were
driven from their homes naked, house.
less, and without food. There is 90
anwrihen law that would have .justi-
fed this course.
That is what we hoped andexpect
ed our city council would d.; and we
waited anxiously for their action
Nothing was done, however; and
Notwithstanding that every moment
of our time is demanded by our pri
vate affairs, we gave notice that We
would do what the city council failed
to do. The head and front Of our of
Tending was to this extent-nothine
more.

The demand for public. charity iE
this coun try at the present time is
very CT edt. In. the unfortunate. city
of Charleston there are thousands OF
sufferers dependent entirely upon
charity for their maintaiuauce until
they can recover from their condition
of misery aud want and excitement.
but added to this comes the news from
Texas that 10 two OF the largest coun-
ties OF that state two-thirds of the
families are IN. utter restitution. and
the remhilder are leaving as quickly
as possible. No rain has fallen in
the barren and destitute -district for
fourteen months and the heretofore
fruitful fields have been turned i6to a
mimic Sahara. Cattle are. star eiug,
most Of the families are in the same
way, and the, condition Of things
throughout seem to be about Ias de.
tplorable as human misery we'll can
be. The terrible demonstrations oil
the force of nature that have brought
those things about may hare deep
significance that it would be well for

rendered she needy and suffering

A PLAGUE OF RABBITS.
Millions of Acres In Australia Ken
dered Uninhabitable.


dered Uninhabitable.
From Lime to time statements have ap-
peared in the newspapers of the great
damage done to Australian fields by rab-
bits. James NJ. Morgan, United States
Consul General at Melbourne, In a
report to the Department of State on
The Rabbit Pest in Victoria"
confirms, says the w Washington Post, these
statements, aud says while it would
be difficult to ascertain the estima ed
damage by rabbits 1T may be safely stated
that during the last ten years the loss
caused by the pest through decrease In
carrying capabilities OF land, destruction
to crops, loss of rents, etc., would amount
at least to f3,0O0,0O0 sterling.
The rabbit which has caused all this
damage is the common gray variety of
wild rabbit. Introduced In Victoria in
1860 Tor the purpose of sport. it has been
so prolific in the propagation of its kind
as TO literally overrun great portion OF
Victoria. In a speech in the Colonial
Parliamsntlt was shown that one section
OF about 100000 acres, where few
years ago smiling homesteads, fine Or
chard5 and all evidences of pros
perlty were to be seen, had
been rendered almost useless and unin-
hab1table. Large sums OF money have
been expended by private citizens, munic-
ipal and district authorities, to ex-
terminate the pest, but with only part al
success. The chief methods employed
have been trapping and spreading of
phosphOrzed oats and wheat and arsenic.
Trapping is reported slow and expensive,
while the rabbits In many instances will
not eat the poisoned food or are unaf-
feeted by it.
About 800 miles ofrabbit- proof wire net
fencing have also been erected in Victo-
ria at a cost OF about ESQ per mile. Re-
wards have been offered by councils tor
rabbit skins, and payments have been
made for about 157 900 dozens OF skins.
In one district from 75O,000 to 1,000,-
600 rabbits have been purchased at a
cost OF %. 3d. per dozen. AS to the
remarkable fecundity of rabbits, MIR.
Morgan save: alt can be asserted on
good grounds that one pair of rabbits will
under most favorable circumstances
(that is. country consisting OF sand hills,
pine ridges and scrub) increase in two
and half years to the enormous number
of 2,000,000.'
A similar condition OF affairs is said to
exist in some of the other Australian
colonies.
