Whilo these phenomena are not necessarily the results of the same causes which have contributed to the earthquake felt on the Atlantic coast with such dire effect, all the probabilities point out that the coincidence is more than accidental. All serious convulsions of this kind have extended in greater or less degree over enormous areas.

The distress and the nature of the disaster is such us to produce a feeling of helpless despair in those who suffer by it. A State Loan to CliaHenton. The Columbia Register of Tuesday, last, proposes that an extra session of the State Legislature be called, for the purpose of authorizing a State loan for the rebuilding of the city of Charleston. Under the terms of the State constitution, the State cannot lend The friends of MAJOR WATSON A.

A Proclamation, Governor Sheppard has issued the following proclamation State of Somi Carolina, Executive Department. The people of South Carolina have heard of the calamity that has befallen Charleston and Summerville; the representations of the distress there experienced have not been exaggerated. A joint committee of the Cotton and Merchants' Exchanges, in a communication to the President of the United States, say: "Several days hive elapsed since the first terrible shock of earth quake convulsed Charleston, and now that comparative calmness exists we are able to look around us for the extent of destruction to property in this city and vicinity, and we find that each hour develops the greatness of the calamity" and the immensity of our losses.

No conception can be formed of the extent of damage, and we stand appalled at it. However much aid a generous people may give, it can only relieve temporary sintering. A city has been wrecked, and its people are without means to remind it. The need for immediate assistance is urgent. Without it there will be still greater suffering in these already sore ly stricKen communities.

Now, therefore, J. -C. Sheppard, Governor of the State of South Carolina, do issue this my Proclamation, advising and earnestly requesting all the people of this State to contribute as promptly and as generously as their means will permit to the relief of our afflicted fellow citizens in Charleston and Summerville. Assurance may be felt that all contributions will be gaeatly received and wisely expended. We hope the response of the people of this State to the urgent appeal by the Governer for help will be general.

Everybody ought to give something. If you can't give ten- dollars give ten cents. Everj' little tielps, and the people of Charleston and Summerville are in need of every cent that can be raised for them. Plucky Charleston. Last Friday the News and Courier published the following: "Despite the loss by the earthquake, Charleston is in as good position as ever for the transaction of the usual autumn trade.

There is ample warehouse and wharf room, the compresses are ready to deal expeditiously with all business that offers. This statement is made to correct an existing erroneous impres sion that the commercial facilities of the port are impaired." We hope that every one who has been trading with Charleston will stick to her, and those who have not been trad ing there will now throw all in her way that they can. She needs sympathy, money and business, and we hope she will get all three in great abundance. TriE Farmers' Convention in session-here last Monday passed resolutions of sympathy and condolence with the suffering people of Charleston and Summerville. This does very well as far as it goes, but the stricken people of those places are not in a condition just now to appreciate fine rhetoric or buncombe resolutions.

What they need is something more substantial. If the convention had of backed up its resolution by a contribution of a hundred or two dollars then the handsome thing would have been done. result of scientific investigations into the special character and causes of the earthquake is awaited with great anxiety. The rarity of such occurrences in this part of the Western Hemisphere make it a matter of special scientific interest, and the hope that such investigations may shed light on the question of a repetition of the disturbance extends the desire for reliable information. The farmers made an admirable choice when they elected Mr.

John E. Wannamaker President of their County Society. He is not only talented and energetic, but he is a conscientious, good man, and posse'ses tine executive ability. Col. Ciias.

SIMS, Lock Box No. 116, Orangeburg, S. C. The Earthquake. The earthquake of last week concentrated its terrible energies on the city of Charleston, S.

Summerville, S. and surrounding country. The Palmetto city is a wreck. Many of the houses have been destroyed or shattered, a score of people have been killed and injured, while the whole population, rich and poor, camped in the streets. Fires raged to add to the general terror, though they were soon quenched.

Such a catastrophe as this has never before occurred in our history, but it shows how frail a hold we have on the solid earth, even in a land like ours. The New York Star says that no outbreaks of nature have proved so destructive to life and property as earthquakes. Not even volcanoes, which are often, though not always, connected with seismic convulsions, have been such an enemy of man and his works as these dreadful subterranean visitations. The geographical limits included within the United States have been for the most part free from these attacks of natures at least within historical times. Every few years, it is true, the.re has been a slight shock, yet rarely powerful enough to do een trivial damage.

The recent disaster, however, warns us that immunity in the past does not necessarily guarantee safety in the future, and that some dangerous outlet of the internal forces may occur unexpectedly in our own country, andat any time. A brief summary of the really notable earthquakes within the area of the United States, prior to the one which has just visited Chatleston with such paralyzing effects, will be interesting. In November, 1755, about a month after the terrible earthquake wave which distroyed Lisbon, a severe earthquake Was felt. 'throughout Xevv England and the middle colonies, and did considerable damage to life and property. In 1811 occurred the famous earthquake of New Madrid, which changed materially the face of many parts of the Mississippi Valley.

The grottcd quaked incessantly for several months over nn area 300 miles long southward from the mouth of the Ohio River. The earth rose and fell in' long undulations, lakes were formed and again drained, and the sur face burst open in great Assures, some times half a mile long, whence spouted forth huge jets of mud and water. The region, of course, was then but sparsely inhabited, and the results were chiefly those of a topographical kind. On October 19, 1870, occurred the most con siderable shock of the century up to the one which has just afflicted Char' leston. It was felt in Canada, through out the Eastern and Middle States, and as far West as Chicago.

Though the movement was a violent one in many places, there va3 yet but little serious damage done. One of the Southern missions in California was destroyed Ly an earthquake in 1852, and again in 1872 a violent series of shocks cracked the walls of some of the largest public buildings in San Francisco. In all these cases, however, there was nothing notable to shock the feelings or imagination, beyond the possible significance which they might portend in the future. The slight earthquake movements in 1878, '81, '82 and '81 all of us remember as having only stimulated feelings of passing curiosity, for they involved nothing serious. That there have been within a comparatively recent period (at least in a geological sense) tremendous convulsions within the limits of our country and Canada is a fact pretty well established.

The evidence of both the Appalachian and Hocky mountain chains is conclusive, and the expiring energies which make the Yellowstone Valley a marvel still impress the imagination. According to the Indian tradition preserved by the Jesuit fathers, who labored in Canada in early times, it was only a few hundred years before the coming of the white man that a whole chain of mountains not many miles from Montreal sank outot sight amidst frightful beavings and writhings of the earth, and a series of lakes made their appearand in their place. This, however, is merely tradition. The earthquake of Tuesday night week was not lacking in other conditions of subterranean tlls- ttu banco in different parts of the country. Reports of volcanicaction in Iowa come to us coincident with striking phenomena in the Yellowstone Valley.

In the latter wonderland the Excelsior 1'eyser, the greatest one in the world, suddenly after four years absolute quiescenco burst into prodigious activity, which lasted twenty-four hours. An artesian well In Iowa became the outlet of an overflow of a subterranean For County CommiKaiouer. IS" Feeling confident that MR.

The Fork Is entitled to a place on the Board, and Mr. Sally is the man to fill It. tSTTho friends of MR. A. In the Branchville section of tho county present his name as a candidate for County Commissioner, subject to the action of tho primary.

This seetion of the county is entitled to a member of the Board, and Mr. Dukes will fill the place to the entire satisfaction of the public. even its credit without a vote of the people at a regular election; and by calling an extra session of the Legislature provision can be made for such a vote in November next, saving a delay of two years. The donations of money and supplies will relieve immediate distress of the poor, but will not reach the necessities of those who have tottering homes, and lack the money to repair them. Now, if the State should issue bonds to run, say for twenty years, and to be redeemable by the State at her option after ten years, bearing a rate of interest of three or four per these bonds can be placed at par, and the money thus realized can be lent to the owners of ruined houses for the purpose of restor ing them; and the payment of the loan can be secured by a mortgage of the property.

The borrower would obligate himself to pay the interest annually to the State, and after ten years, to pay also one-tenth of the principal of the loan, in addition to the interest. In this way, the State would lose nothing, for the interest payable on her bonds would be paid to her by the borrowers, and after ten years, as the borrowers pay in the one-tenth of their respective loans, the State would annually call in and pay one-tenth of. the bonds. In lending out this money, the Statue can be secured from loss by requiring a clear title to be shown in each instance, approved by the Attorney General, or one of the Solicitors, after full exami nation. In this way, those who have to borrow money to rebuild, will be able to do so at a low rate of interest, and on easy terms of repayment, such as they can meet, instead of having to pay such rates as will amount to a virtual sacrifice of their property, in trying to restore their shattered homes.

We decidedly: favor some action of this kind. The' State can secure a loan at a much lower rate of than a private borrower can; and the State, after borrowing the money, simply lends it out again at the same low rate of interest, to her distressed citizens, so that they can restore shelter for their families. Apart from the duty of the State to assist in relieving her own sons in this dire calamity, there will be a direct gain of revenue to the State from the transaction. For it must be remembered, that in the great destruction of values by the earth quake, the amount of taxes which can be assessed and collected will be great' ly diminished, until Charleston can be rebuilt, and the values of property re stored. As a financial measure, there fore, it will pay the State much more than the expense of an extra session which need not last more than six days at the furthest, i ('' We are satisfied that the people would vote for such a measure with great unanimity; for all the noblest impulses Df their hearts would prompt them to do so; and their sound judgment would convince them that, as a business transaction, it will pay money into the Treasury, which will be muchmissed there, so long as Charleston remains in ruins.

Generosity and self-interest are therefore identical in this matter. We hope that the Governor will convene the Legislature without delay. CliarleKton. The glorious Queen occupies in one sense to-day, the proudest throne. She wields a sceptre over the true hearts of the world.

In her utter wreck, she lifts a heal diademed with the truest glory of earth the love and sympathy of cities and nations. It is the loyal beat of brave humanity to be touched with distress. Even an enemy at the foot is pitied. This is the outcome of a mere contrast of relative positions. In the case of Charleston it is not pity, not a mere desire to help the fallen.

It is love. Love in spite of differences, of jealousies. There is not a spot of earth that concentrates in itself more of thid; love nkin to veneration than Charleston. The wires throb with the eager call, "what does she want'r" The mails clarnoringly ask, "what does Charleston want?" Cities that loaned all their energy to tear down her proud flag in 1801-5, now forget the focal earthquake of shot and shell, and cry out, "East and West, and North rally; the Queen by the Sea is in trouble." A murmur heaves this great land. Charleston! Charleston TJiere is no sectionalism now.
