First Years Century Stikingly
0alamit0Ues.--AmeiQa Has Had
Its Share.
Is the Twentieth to be a century of
terrible'disasters?
It is only in its seventh year, and
yet scores of dire calamities have be
fallen the human race on land and
sea. Volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal
ls-ivanles, typhoons,
and tornadoes, explosions, massacres,
strikes, panics, famine, railway acei
dents, assassinations, riots and -never
ceasing war-every natural agency
and man hmself have combined to
make disaster follow close on the
heels of disaster through the six years
that are gone and the one just near
ing its prime.
Although Providence has been
kind to this section, yet the people
have felt the heavy hand of disaster
laid upon them, for in 'June 1903, this
county was visited by heaVy rains,
which caused Pacolet river and Law
son 's Fork to overflow their banks
and become raging torrents, flooding
the river bottoms, washing away Pac
olet, Clifton and Glendale mills.
Homes were swept away, lives lost
and millions of dollars of property de
stroyed.
Grouping the troubles in Russia as
one, seven disasters that have attract
ed world-wide attention have alone
occurred in the five months just end
ing. This is the list-the San Fran
cisco earthquake 'ind fire, the Vesu
vian eruption, probably the most dis
astrous since the one that buried
Pompeii; the French mine horror, the
sinking of the steiVuner Valencia on
Puget Sound, the famine in Japan
and the explosion on the United States
battleship Kearsarge.
Setting down the series of aisas
ters that is known as the Russo-Japa
nese war as one, treating every one of
Russia's internal disorders, from the
beginning of the century, as one long
-drawn out disaster, about 100 disas
ters, more or less terrible, have held
the eye of the reading publie from
time to time since the new eentury
wias ushered in with all sorts of mer
ry-making. Inl additionl to these,
there have been other scorvs of dis
asters that, becase of their remote
ness from the Occident, or lacli of utn
usual features, have attracted little
or no attention.
A glance over the list shows that
this country seems to have come in
for more than its fair share of the
disaster. Beginning with the coaft
mine explosion at Red Ash, West Vir
gilni, when 100 lives were lost, anld
endinlg with the destruction of Sanl
Francisco, at least, two score of no
table disasters have afflicted .us.
Of this number fourteen have been
disasters of magnitude to our cities
tornado and tidal wave at Galveston,
yellow fever at New Orleans, first fire
and then flood at Paterson, destrue
tive IIrie at Balt imore, J1acksonville,
Hlobokent, Little Riock, W~at erbury,
Conn. ; Rockester, N. Y. ; the Iroquois
fire in Chicago; the General Slocum
fire in New York, death-dealing heat
in the summer of 1901 in all our
eastern cities, and earthquake and
fire in San Francisco. The ,god of
disasters seems to have taken denomni
maated delight in laying his blighting
hand on our centers of population.
No one can say for a certainty how
many lives and how much wvealth
*have been lost to the world by reason
of these five score disasters. Yet we
know of hundreds of thousands of
human beings killed in one way or
another, of hundreds of millions of
property destroyed in one way or an
other. Only the blackest pessimist
would care to delve far enough to se
cure the exact figures, if such were
posstible.
Volcanoes and earthquakes have
been exceedingly active natural agents
of the god disaster.
Greatest of volcanic eruptions in
loss of life wvas that of Pelee, on May
8, ;1902, destroying the city of,St.
Pierre and 30,000 lives.. The day be
fore La Soufrierre, S. Vincent 's
claimed 2,000 victims, and nearly'
three months after its first eruption,
.Pelee again treathed forth, death and
destruction, this time robbing 3,040
persons of the breath of life.
* Hundreds-nay, thoissands of de
fenseles persons have been put~ to
the 'Turkish swprd in Macedonia.
Tm the districts of Florina and Mana
stir the Turks massacred the women
and children of twenty-two villages.
The first Kishineff massacre made the
Gentile world gasp with horror, and
the second Kishineff and the Odessa
and other massacres of Jews have niot
caused that horror to abate. Literally
tens of thousands of peortdfis. have
been massacred in cold blood since
the dawn of the enlightened and mitch
heralded 'Twentieth century.

volanes have taken their tens of
