EARTHQUAKES ONLY FLEARtTEs
wren Compared With Other Calam-
itics--The Black Plague Heads tbe
List and Claimed Altogether Sixty
Seven Million Victims--The Awful
Result of Famines.

1t is the general opinion that earth
quakes contribute the most terrible
Oh the worlds catastrophes, both as
regards loss of life and destruction of
property
This, however is not so.
The convulsion in southern Italy
killed not less than 100000 people.
and in this respect it is easily the
most dreadful occurrence of it's
kind. The historic Lisbon earth.

caused $4,000 deaths in that one city
alone, and about an equal number
elsewhere. The South American one
of 1857 was responsible for 10000.
That which destroyed Aleppo in 1922
slew 10000. These are the four
worst earthquakes concerning which
anything like reliable statistics are
obtainable, and the total combined
loss Of life, it will be observed, did
not, at any rate, exceed 100000.
But when the Yellow River burst its
banks in September 1887, more than
100000 people were drowned in the
resultant great flood, which covered
to an average depth of six feet a pop
ulous Chinese province the size of
Scotland. Thus, in this catastrophe
| more lives were lost than in all the
earthquakes recorded in the worlds
history.
Then, again, there is pestilence. The
| black death killed in China, where it
broke out, 100000 people, in the
rest Of Asia 24,OOO,OOO, and 80, 1000, 600
in Europe, or 67,000,OOO in all. In In
dia alone, and that within the past
twelve years, the bubonic plague has
slain over 100000 of our fellow sub
ects, and the epidemic still RACES.
Or there are famines, which run
plaques a close second. The one that
raged in Bombay and Madras in 1877,
for example, slew, 100000 people,
and that which prevailed in Northern
China in the same year, and which
was due to the same climatic causes.

CRITICISE IMMIGRATION LAWS.

washington, Feb. 11.--At the con-
ference of leaders of organized labor
with Secretary Straus, of the depart
nent of commerce and labor, today,
criticism of present immigration laws
was made by nearly every speaker in
cluding President Samuel GOmpers, of
the American Federation of Labor:
Warren S. Stone. of the Locomotive
Engineers. and President Valentine, of
he Moulders' Union. Mr.. Valentine
declared that conditions affecting un-
employed workmen were worse now
than in the panic years of 1878 and
1898. He urged restriction of immi-
grafton.
Secretary Straus pointed that the
United States had international obli-
cations as old as the country itself,
which could not be abrogated, even
when it might seem temporarily ad-
vantageous to do so.
"If we were to undertake that" said
the secretary "frOm the standpoint
Of amity and international intercourse,
our action might be tantamOunt to
declaration of war with a foreign
power"
Commissioner of Labor Neill, who
had been called to the conference by
Secretary Straus, corroborated Mr.
Valentines statements. He criticised
by intimation, the direction of the
work Of the division of information
DR.. Neill said that he was not in the
conference "to skin anybody's skunk"
He was there, he said, to state the
facts, and without reference to any,
body
While Secretary Straus had little to
say regarding this development, he
was evidently not pIeased at the atti-
tude of the commissioner
The sharp issue between Secretary
Straus and Commissioner Neill in
their views as expressed before the
| conference and on tributes paid to
Secretary Straus, featured the ses-
| sion. President Gompers. speaking
| for the assemblage, expressed regret
| that Secretary Straus was not to con-
tinue at the head of the department
Of commerce and labor in the incom-
| ing administration, and on behalf of
| organized labor, extended thanks to
the secretary for his thoughtful con-
sideration of laboring men and their
| interests.
Secretary Straus responded that, in
some respects, he was sorry TO reln-
quish the work in which he had found
| so much interest and so great an op-
portunity to do good. He did not pro-
pose, however, to relinquish the work
entirely, but expected to continue it as
| a private citizen. He said he hoped
AZ no distant time to see the national
council of commerce, which had been
organized through his efforts, brought
into intimate relations with a similar
organization of the representatives Of
labor, so that the two might work for
the betterment of all the people Of
America.

MOVING PICTURE WAR COMING.

New York, Feb. 15.-About 200 in
dependent moving picture exhibitors
affiliated with the International Pro-
jecting and Producing Company. met
mere today to perfect plans for the
campaign that the New York Asso-
citation is to wage against the SOCIAL
ed trust in the moving picture busi-
ness. A resolution was adopted pro-
testing against the proposed increase
in the import duty on films shipped
into this country from Europe.
Copies of the resolution were ordered
sent to the president and to the
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the house of represent
atives.

LIVES LOST IN MEDITERRANEAN

Steamer Australia and Unknown Sail.
ing Vessel Sink as Result OF Col.
lisiOn I'm Fog.
Algiers, Feb. 15.-An unknown
sailing vessel rammed the Belgian
steamer Australia during a storm on
February II near Alboran Island in
the Mediterranean, 100 miles from
Gibraltar. Both vessels foundered.
The total known loss of life was 80,
IA men from the sailing vessel and
16 from the Australia. Ten members
of the crew of the Australia, who had
put off from that steamer in a small
boat, were picked up by the German
steamer Liberia and brought in here
today.
Capt. Norman of the Australia,
who was the last to leave his ship,
states that he left Oran on Wednes-
day in heavy weather. On Friday
it made navigation almost impossible.
Suddenly a large vessel loomed up
and struck the Australia on the port
bow. The steamer Immediately settled
and sank within three minutes. The
crew had just time to scramble into
the boats, without food or clothing.
They were tossed about for two days,
during which time the boats became
separated from each other. When
the men in the captains boat were
about giving up the steamer Liberia
was sighted and she responded to
their frenzied signals.
Capt. Norman estimates the total
number Of victims at 46. So far as is
known only 10 Of the crew of the
Australia, which numbered 26, were
saved, and the sailing vessel was of
the class usually manned by 80 men.

Edison
AmberOl
Records

Are the new Records that play
twice as long as the regular Edi-
son Records.
Thus Amberol Records can be
used on your present Edison
Phonograph by the addition of a
simple attachment or gear, and
you can still play the Records you
have.
Amberol Records not only plav
longer than any other Record
now made, but they play better,
their tone quality being richer,
clearer and more delicate than
has been possible in the past.
Let US put an attachment on
your Phonograph or sell you an
Edison Phonograph that will play
both Records.

ANNUAL MEETING OF ALUMNI.
Graduates of South Carolina Jrn,var.
sity Called to Meet in Columbia
March 10Th.
Hartsville, S. c., Feb. 13. 100.

Hartsville, S. c., Feb. 13, 1909.
10 the Alumni Of the South Carolina
University:
at meeting held in Columbia
some days ago your executive COM
mittee decided to hold the annual
meeting Of our Association in Co
lumbia on Friday, March 10th, prox.
Our reasons for setting this date
were twofold On that date DR.. Chas.
w. Eliot, the distinguished retiring
president of Harvard University, will
be in Columbia and will address our
Association. No man in America
stands niger in the educational world
than DR.. Eliot and his address alone
should be sufficient attraction to
draw the entire body of our Alumni
to Columbia on the 10Th.
The other important reason for
holding our meeting at this time is
the fact that our new president DR..
5. c. Mitchell, will be in Columbia
then. DR.. Mitchell has impressed
those of us who have seen something
OF him, as exactly the right man for
the presidency of our institution. In
my judgment there is no man in the
South today who better understands
the educational needs Of the people
and the methods necessary for the
accomplishment of results. 1t is DR..
Mitchell's ardent wish to meet all of
our Alumni at the earliest possible
cooperation in the carrying out Of
his plans for the success of the great
work which he has undertaken.
The business meeting will be held
in the c,.lege chapel in the afternoon
In the evening we will hear DR..
Eliot's address and later will gather
informally at convenient place
where friends can renew "auld ac-
luaintance."
Our president acting president and
'aculty are earnestly endeavoring to
maintain and strengthen the present
friendly relationship between the
SOUTH Carolina University and the
other institutions for higher educa-
ton within the State. To this end it
has been determined to invite the
faculties Of all these institutions to
meet with us on the evening of March
10th.
1 trust that the programme for
March 10Th, outlined above, will at
tract every Alumnus who can possi-
bly, attend on that date. Not many
opportunities are afforded during a
life-time to hear men of DR.. Eliot's
distinguished attainments. 1t is espe-
cially desirable that you should meet
and know DR.. Mitchell and be ad-
vised of the plans now maturing for
| the future of our institution. 1t will
be very useful in the promotion of
good will and cooperation between
the educational institutions of the
State for our Alumni to become ac-
quainted ith the faculties of other
colleges.
Let me add that 1t will be a great
qualification to your executive COM
mittee and president If we succeed
in bringing together on the 18th of
March great gathering of enthu-
siastice Alumni. 1 wish to urge each
Alumnus to attend and to do every
thing possible to secure the attend.
