A STRING OF CASUALTIES.

There is something truly appalling
in the terrible continuity of casualties
which seems to pursue the country
like a nemesis. Beginning with the
Galveston flood there have come upon
the country disaster after disaster OF
more or less consequence, from the
killing of crews and passengers OF
ships and fast trains to the Kansas
foods with their death dealing rush OF
waters. The last of these destructive
catastrophes have been the tornado
at Gainesville and the razing of
the Pacolet mills in South Caro-
lima. To be sure casualties are to
be expected, and no one is surprised at
their arrival, but it is very much out
of the ordinary run of human affairs
that so many destructive ones should
follow in such close succession upon
each other.
Some sensational pulpiteers, who see
the ayenginp hand of God in every I'M
toward event, are doing few linguist.
ic stunts ia strenuous effort to point
out that a crisis has arrived; that dire
punishments are being visited upon
the heads of the human family for in
Vulnerable sins of omission and com
mission: that careless. reckless world
will soon have still more vivid reali-
cation of its past neglect of all things
holy Superstitious persons find their
souls trembling within them, fearing
that their turn will come next.
However these things may be, the
country in les entirety weeps with the
stricken districts. The ever-present
bond of human sympathy between men
for brothers in distress was never more
evident than now, when thousands OF
people are homeless and moneyless,
and relief is going daily to the strick-
en- ones. Charity, the quintescence OF
true religion, is being taught in its
practical form, and return to norma
conditions will soon be seer in place
of the present desoIation.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together nd
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescribed loca
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured
by F. J. Cheney IL Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only

GREAT DISASTER AT PAcoLET.
Millions Of Property Swept Away in South
Carolina Town, and Thousands
Are Homeless.

SPARTANBURG, S. c., June6.-Before
the waters of a mighty flood Pacolet,
S. c., has been swept from the map,
and the great cotton mills of that place
and Clifton, S. c., are beneath the sur
face of a cloudburst's onward rush,
completely wiped out by the storm.
AS the Topeka disaster was eclipsed
nv the Gainesville horror so it now
seems in turn that the loss of property
if not of life in the Georgia city will be
eclipsed by the great wave of devasta-
ton which has wept through and over
the great milling districts OF Clifton
and Pacolet with such destructive Vlo-
lence.
The dark shadow of the storm set
tied over Spartanburg last nighS,
hanging oyer the Inflated city like
some grim spectre of death. With In
creasing yehemence the elements pre-:
pared for their Invasion of the doomed
district until the storm reached the
proportions of giant cloudburst, when
the downpour from the black depths OF
heaven swept away the dams, which
in turn settled into one vast swirllug
stream which roared through the val
lev where the mills are situated and at
this hour the rushing waters roar in
triumph above houses and homes
where only yesterday the spindle and
the loom were at work and thousand
laborers were happy.
The mill losses are not less than 49,
$50, 900; damage to farms and others
$500, 900: damage to railroads 500, 900;
general business loss $3.50, 900; total
s4.l3O,OOO. The loss of life is 81, and
1900 people are homeless.

Protect the Birds.

From the Savannah Press.
The Press has received from Profess
sOr Hugh n. Starnes of the Georgia
Experiment Station an in 5eresting bull
letin upon bird protection. This sub
iect has already been alluded TO in The
Press and a bill is now pending before
the house for this purpose. But Pro-
lessor Starnes brings the matter
wildly and practically before the
farmers of Georgia. He declares. in
his press bulletin that the recent
introduction of plants and fruit trees
from other sections has imported in-
furious insects formerly unknown; and
that the indiscriminate and persistent
determination of native birds has at
length SO reduced their numbers that
both insects and seeds obnoxious weeds
are now increasing in a ratio greater
than our ability to successfully control
them. It is merely outraged natures
indignant protest. We are reaping as
we have sown. All birds not game
birds, the larger and by far the most
valuable species, are still unprotected
by law. Among these doves, robins,
field larKs and bullbats are so largely
slaughtered each season that in less
than a generation their number has
been reduced oyer so per cent These
birds destroy noxious weeds and In
furious insects, and should not be
slaughtered. The bill pending before
the legislature has been endorsed by
the national department of agriculture
and framed by the Audubon Society.
1t has been adopted by p states and 1t
is up to the state of Georgia TO do some
thing for the protection of the birds.
Professor Starnes has written strongly
aud clearly. He is entirely right.

TRADE AT HOME.

The experience of an Alabama man
carries a lesson with it wherever 1t
NAV be read Ten years apo he put an
X mark on a dollar and spent it with
one of the merchants of his town. Five
times in six years that dollar came
back TO him for produce which he sold,
and three times he heard of his neigh
bore having it. The last time he got
il in change he sent it off to mail or
der house in Chicago, and of course
has never seen it again. And billions
of chances TO one he never will.
The story is certainly one with a
moral, and the moral is, 'spend your
money at home" There is nothing to
be gained by ordering goods away
from home when the same articles
may be purchased in your own town
The dollars thus kept in local circula-
tion will finally come back to you.
