Santiago. Chill, Aug 19.-The latest
news brought in here by refugees from
Valparaiso contradicts some Of the
first exaggerated statements from
there, but shows that the catastrophe
was extremely severe. Senor Groz,
one OF the refugees. relates that the
first shock at Valparaiso was very pro-
longed and threw the entire city into
indescribable panic. People crowded
the streets and the squares, crying and
lamenting. The first shock also
threw down number of buildings. The
second shock was more severe and re-
suked in the crumbling of most of the
buildings in the Almendral quarter.
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into ter
rife darkness. This, however, did not
last long, for the scene of destruction
was soon lit up by the fires that broke
out in this quarter. The light from
the flames, Senior Groz continues, came
is welcome relief from the darkness.
The people were in a state of terror,
many believing that the end OF the
world had come
Among the buildings destroyed were
the Victoria theater, the Bella Vista
railroad station and the Club de Sep
tembeT. Most of the severe damage was
done on the lower ground reclaimed
from the sea.
The Church of the Espiritu Santo
and the Church of La Marced, AS well
as a large part of the buildings on Vic.
toria street were destroyed.
Masses of material blocked the
streets Avenue Brazil is almost to-
tally wrecked. The known dead does
not exceed 100, according to the best
estimates. Among those dead is the
wife OF Admiral Montt.
The hills surrounding Valparaiso
suffered but slightly.
More than 10000 persons have taken
refuge there.
That portion of the city where are
the customs house and the city hall
was not seriously damaged. A large
majority Of the houses are not fit for
habitation. The storehouses OF the
customs house are almost totally de-
stroyed.
The water pipes of the city were
broken and the water poured through
the streets. There is even lack Of
water for drinking purposes. PrOvis-
ions are lacking and hunger Is begin

necessities of life.
The people of Valparaiso are utterly
exhausted. They are awaiting the re-
establishment Of the railway service
to leave the city.
Santiago de Chill, Aug. 19.-It Is
known that eight lives were lost In
this city by the earthquake, but 1t is
believed that many persons were killed
by the falling buildings and that their
bodies will be discovered later. Sew
eral persons became SO panic stricken
during the trembling Of the earth that
they threw themselves from the bal
comics of their homes and were killed.
The fires which followed the earth
quake in this city were promptly extin-
quished, bnt while they lasted they
added greatly to the terror OF the peo-
pie.

CHAPTER x,
PIRATE.

On the opposite side OF tho road
there was a stone wall about FIVE feet
in height; beyond this was a broad.
rolling field and farther on a barbwirs
renee and DOGGY stream which
oozed its way down toward the Po,o-
mac. Far away across The valley The
wooded hills were dying and whitening
and thinning, with splashes of yell
low and red. A flock of Lirds speckled
the fieecy October clouds. and mild
breeze sent the grasses shivering.
Toward the wall Pirate directed his
course. Warburton threw back his
full weight. The effort had little or
no effect on Pirates mouth His rider
remembered about the tree, but the
nearest was many yards away. Over
the wall they went and dow the
field. Pirate tried to get his acad
down but he received a check. Score
one for the man. Warburton, his
legs stiffened in the stirrups. his hands
well down, his breath coming in gasps,
wondered where they would finally
land. He began TO use his knees and
Pirate felt the pressure. He didn't
like 1t at all Oddly enough, Warbur-
tons leg did not bother him as he ex-
pected 1t would, and this gave him
confidence. On. on; the dull pounding
OF Pirates feet. the flying sod, the
wind in his face: and when he saw
the barb-wire fence. fear entered into
him. An inch too low, a stumble and
serious injuries might result. He must
break Pirates gait.
He began to saw cowboy fashion.
Pirate grew indignant: he was being
hurt. His speed slackened none, how
ever; he was determined to make
that fence If ii was the last thing he
ever did. He'd like to see any man
stop him. lie took the deadly fence as
with the wings of bird. But he found
that the man was still on his back.
He couldn't understand 1t. He grew
worried. And then he struck the red.
brown muck bordering the stream.
The muck flew. but at every bound
Pirate sank deeper, and the knees OF
his rider were beginning to tell. War
burton, full Of rage, yet not unreason-
able rage, quickly saw his chance. Once
more he threw back his weight: this
time TO the left. Pirates head came
stubborniy around; his gait was
broken, he was foundering in the
stream. Now Warburton used his
heels savagely. He shortened the reins
and whacked Mr.. Pirate soundIy
across the ears. Pirate plunged and
reared, and after devious evolutions.

Thanksgiving.

By long and happily established
custom Thanksgiving has come to be
regarded, not simply as a New Eng
land, but also national festival.
1t is the great American feast day
whereon, too, it is good sto make
merry, to eat the bread Of rejoicing
and to sing the cheerful glees of a
homely melody.
On it's human side the sweetest as
pect of Thanksgiving is seen in its
provision for family reunions.
Thanksgiving is emphatically a
hame day. Yet it should not, on that
account, be any the less a day when
the homeless are cared for, and the
hearts of the solitary made to rejoice.
It is an occasion both for domestic
good cheersand sociological sacrifices.
The conception of Thanksgiving as
a sacrifice needs to De retained: Let
theo sacrifice the sacrifices Of thanks
giving. IS the word Of the psain2jst
20 our age as truly as it was message
to his own times.
Genuine thanksgiving customs
nowadays should be just as it always
has been.
However, the particular methods
of it's manifestation may, indeed, vary
with the passing years.
Yet while the formal settings of
life vary, the essence Of life is the
same. We have, therefore, substan-
TALLY the same opportunity as had
our forefathers, to convert sentiment
into sacrifice.
1t is, indeed, no longer expected
that the devout believer should bring
his frstling lambs, and slay them
before visible acknowledgements
he may send his lamb to a poor fam
lily or an asylum kitchen.

HARD TINES.

EVERYBODY, almost, is blue and cry
sng hard times, but the financial strin-
gency and commercial depression
consequent upon short cotton crop
are only transitory, and in effect and

e limited area.
The country, as a whole, is pros
porous; and progress, development
and inprov. nent in all lines of in
Iustry are n the atmosphere.
One poor cotton crop may retard
the progress temporarily, but it can
not and will not block the onward and
upv ard movement Of industrial
growth. This section of South Caro-
linz has developed and improved and
