North American under the caption,
seThe Warning Of Rome's Fall IS
suggestive.
This editorial points out that
eths future of this nation is gravely
menaced by assteadily diminishing
agricultural productivity-that IS to
say, by eiwindling food supply.
That decline is due to excessive de-
velopment of our industrial capacity;
and for the injurious reaction upon
agriculture the policies of both labor
and capital are responsible.
The North American quotes at
some length Gugtelmo Ferrero, who
is one of the most eminent OF living
historians, as follows: 'The high
cost of living today is a repetition
ef history. The first grave syn'p-
tom is that very excess Of urbanlsm
which was the ruin of Rome. Mod
ern costliness is born from the over
development of cities. Too many
men and too much capital are these
:grlomerated to add to industries
and extravaganza. The natural con-
sequence of this disproportion is easy
lilo understand. The cities enlarge,
Industries grow in number and size;
,,,yuries and the wants of the many
crowded there multiply. But the pro-
fuctiveness of the land does not keep
ace with all this. Tn no country

i the United States, Why? Be
cause in America the disproportion
between the progress Of The fields
end that of the cities, between that

IS still greater than in Europe.
here populations live habituated
for centuries, to country life"
The North American concludes its
litorial with a further quotation
from .Ferrero: ''The excesses Of r-
tanism, the cause of the splendor
and apparent wealth, converted them
lives into dissolvent force that
appropriated into chaos the brillianr
world which that force had once

THE RICHMOND DISASTER

Tomorrow will be the fiftieth an
niyersary of one of the most serious
catastrophies which ever. occurred N

1870, gallery in the Capitol IN
Richmond. which was densely crowd
ed with spectators, fell and IN It's
collapse carried away tine floor OF a
NORTON Of the building, burying IN
dist and debris hundreds of persons:
many of whom were prominent IN
the affairs of the state at that time
The accident sent huge clouds OF dust
from the windows Of the State Capt.
toll, causing many TO suppose tire
had suddenly broken out. An alarm!
was sounded and the department re-
sponded, when it was found that a
disaster more serious than fire had
OCCURRED. The dead were extrlcated
and laid upon the sward and the m
jured taken to hospitals.
T. A. Brewis, a prominent bust
ness man of this city at that time
was killed outright, huge splinter
having been forced through his jug
ular vein. The late George w. Brent
an Alexandrian and prominent
lawyer of his day, had one of his legs
broken, and other residents of this
city were more or less hurt. The
late General NJ D. Corse. of thi:
city, went down in the crash. but es-
capped uninjured. Several members
of both branches of the Legislature
were among the killed. as were news
paper reporters who were in the
Capitol at the time.
Shortly before noon telegraph
message was received here from
Richmond telling Of the disaster.
No details were given in the laconic
message Edgar Snowdcn. Jr., one
of the editors of the Gazette, wae
the Senator from this district at the
time. and Reuben Johnston ans
George l.. Session, the last nance
colored were the delegates from
Alexandria city and county.
Their relatives and friends suf
fered great anxiety until it was
learned that the Alexandrans were
safe.
This awful accident occurred while
the mayoralty contest between Henry
X. EllySon and George Chahoon
both claiming to be executives Of
Richmond. was in progress of the
federal court. The legislature was
in session at the time. and there
were many visitors in the house.

COMETS SCATTER GERMS

Some scientists claim that: contets
sprinkle the earth with disease germs.
They argue that if the majority. OF
comets are fragments of worlds torn
apart, as they believe, organisms or
disease germs, would be carried with
the debris. In cold spaces they would
remain dormant, but when projected
into the higher temperature surround
ing the earth, they would again be-
come active and dangerous to human
ity.
AS proof, they point TO the fact that
the worldwide epidemic Of influenza
began Immediately after the appear
ance of Halley's comet, through the
tail of which many'believed the earth
passed.
