ATHENS, April 29.-The latest re
ports from Atlanti say that Oh Friday
3G5 shocks Of earthquake were felt
there il eight hours. For two hours,
the trembling of the earth was almost
continuous. For a radius of three and
nalf miles on every side of the town
the fields and highways have been torn
with deep tissues. The sea has en-
croached upon the shore about sixty
feet. Dispatches from all parts of the
kingdom indicate that former reports
of death and damage to property have
underestimated the losses. The list
of dead and injured grows hourly. The
misery in the smaller towns OF the
stricken districts Is extreme. Hundreds
who were prosperous householdeTS be-
fore the earthquakes are now without
food and shelter for their families and
are begging for help. The government
continues to do all in its pomer to re-
lieye the suffering, but the burden is
beyond its means and scores of fami-
lies are already on the verye of starva
tion. Nearly one hundred thousand
persons are said to have been left dest-
itute Of food and shelter in the Locrls
districj alone.

Suicide OF 8 Prisoner.

COLUMBIA, s. c., May 2.-The quiet
town of Prosperity, located on the line
of the Columbia, NeWberry and Lau-
rens, and Richmond and Danville roads
about forty miles from Columbia, was
yesterday thrown into a considerable
state of excitement, 80 a gentleman
who arrived in the city last night says,
by the suicide of negro prisoner in
the station house, by hanging. The
fellow was named Dan Sheppard. He
was a powerful built mulatto. On
Monday evening be was arrested for
assault and battery and attempted
criminal assault upon the person of his
step.daughter, Mary Bouknight, a
mulatto girl about 20 years Of age. The
city authorities placed him in the sta
ton house for the night. He told Town
Marshal White when he locked him up
that he ''reckoned they would hang him
this time" He meant by this that he
feared serious consequences. Once be-
fore he had been arrested on the same
charge, but his wife being the only
witness against him he was discharged
from custody. The negro seemed to
nave been throughly resolved upon
self-destruction. He proceeded after he
was locked up to make himself a
rope out of the crocus sack covering
on the bed, tying it securely aroun d
his neck. He then tied the other end
to the grating of the window, which
was no higher than himself. Then he
knelt down and choked to death de
llherssaly. When the town marshal
went to the station house yesterday
morning to carry him his breakfast he
found the fellow in STOPPING attitude
his head hanging over on his breast,
cold and death. The coloner held an in
quest and a verdict of death by stran-
gulation was rendered. The negroes of
the town seem to be glad the negro's
career is ended, for he was considered
a desperate fellow.

SAND YOU'LL REMEMBER NE

HAND YOU'LL REMEMBER NE"
One evening as the sun went down
Among the golden hills,
And silent shadows, soft and broWD,
Crept ov-r wales AID rills.
l watched the dusky bats a-wlng
Dip down the dusky lea;
Harkening, heard maiden sing,
And you'll remember me"
When other lips and other hearts,
Came drifting through the trees;
In language whose excess imparts,
Was borne upon tire breeze,
Ab! love is sweet and hope is strong,
And life's summer sea.
A woman's soul is in her song;
"And you'll remember me"
Still rippling from her throbbing throat
With Joy akin to pain.
There seemed a tea- in every ncte,
A sob in every strain;
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless sea,
The singer sang her love to sleep,
With: You'll remember me.

 A word about l.. B. Benedict's new house may not come amiss. It is an eight-room cottage. standing on . high hill. and is best known as Rocky Farm Cottage, which is rightly named, for MT Benedict, with the patience of Job, has dug the cellar out of solid rock; thus it is we'll understood to be founded on a rock. The view on all sides is grand and must be seen to be appreciated. The house is substantially built of the best timber, the ioists being of yellow pine and the floors of the best Georgia pine. The whole house is sheathed with paper and sided. Fancy shingles are used for gables and ornamental work. The front rooms can be thrown together by rolling doors. A two-story bay window add, greatly to the beauty and convenience. The mason, Howard Beers, is now put ting on the hard walls, when the carpen ter, F. s.

WAS THE INSTRUMENTS OF GOD

ander
 WAS THE INSTRUMENTS OF GOD whereby the whole known world might come to know the Greek language, and thus be prepared for the preaching of the gospel to every nation under heaven. The wise words of our text apply also to our modern life. We need an observing mind to understand what we see. You read of the brave engineer who drove his train through the burning forest fires of the west and some of you call him a fool hardy adventurer. But when you dis cover that he did to seek to save life and amid the roaring flames stuck to his post because it was duty, the act puts on quite another aspect. You see in your community men who dare attack open vice. Some people say that they are poking their noses into business that don't belong to them. But when you observe, you see that, the purity of every boy and girl in the town is wrapped up in such struggle, and then the heroism of man who attacks vice, to preserve virtue, becomes apparent to you.
 YES, BELOVED, NOT ONLY
 but also observe, eyes are of no value that do not see the deep things in Gods creation. Let us then see and observe and grow truly wise.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Rain comes down in drops, not in bar rels full. So we are to do little deeds of kindness every day and not one great deed.
 To be what you ought, follow con- science, wisdom and revelation.
 God has made great deal of beauty in this world that is found only by search ing.
 Don't suspect your neighbor of wrong. Suspect him rather of doing right.
 The world is more kindly than you think. Humanity has heart though the exterior may be rough.
 Thy God shall supply every need. Here is a key to open every door before which we pause, "How shall I get through?" A mighty master-key for the region of Giant Despair, for every lock in Doubling Castle. sI have key in nay bosom called Promise,'' said Hope ful; and he had forgotten to take it out. LEX.
 v ssFaith in God is at the bottom of most great things. It led the parents ol Moses to hide him and thus gave his life.' The affiictions and storms permitted by our Father to come upon us are moi intended to destroy or weaken us; but that we may learn more patience, that we may become stronger in the Grace that is given unto us, that the fruit o1 the Spirit may come to maturity, and all that God may get more glory out of oul lives.
 If God so plans it he brings ser. vant of his to the highest honors, ever through the greatest degradation and slavery Patient waiting is often the highes' way of doing Gods VIII. [0ollier.
