He has been In failing health for several months, and his death was not ,al- logethdT unexpected, still It came as -&■ shock to hia frlendl In Abbeville. New Year’s Handled Attended. XL m Wv .ri- .A fearful convulsion of the earth which devastated Southern Italy and Sicily on Mouday of last week, wlp- lag out the lives of Sd&.Md people, and overwhelming two large dtles ,as.wail as a score of smaller towns, will go 4°*n In history as one of the most terrific disasters that have ever visited this planet. * There is no record of any earth quake that wrought as much fright ful _ damage and caused greater loss of life than the earthquake that via- .. ited the lower part of the Italian peninsular and its neighboring isl ands, last week. Few regions of the world have, suffered more heavi ly In the past than the province or Southern Italy and the beautiful . Island of Sicily, which are now stag gering beneath tbe weight of anoth- er blow even more terrible than any which preceded It. Of all known earthquakes of an- Hent and modern history the most lestructtve up to last week was that . which visited Antioch, the. capital of ’ Syria, in the year 626 A. D. It Is said that the streets of the ancient city literally opened and that not fewer than 150,000 human be ings, is 'well as Innumerable tent- plea and houses were engulfed In the yawning chasms./In 116 B. C., while the city was thronged with visitors, who had come to attend a celebration in honor of the Emper or Trajan, another earthquake o<v curred, leas destructive than the one which waa to come; some six hun dred year* later, yet violent enough to causa the death of thousands, among them being many Romans of distinction, the Tffimperor himself bsrejty escaping from the. ruins of - his castle. T ' - - — ttt Yeddo, Japan, In the year 1703. an earthquake occured, In which 100,000 people are 'said to have / lost their lives; and Just twenty- eight >ears afterwards the city of Pekin was practically overwhelmed by a similar disaster, in which k is bellaved that nearly 200,000 of the inhabitants perished. Of other •srtfcOMkes In which the lost of life ' Win go great as to render them mem prrvble for all time, there are so many as to forbid enumeration. Sev eral of these, in remarked above, took place in the same region which was affected by Monday’s appalling disaster, and in the other countries of Southern Europe. Br-s In 1137 seismic disturbances caus ed th* death of 15,000 people lu Sle»y. In Lisbon, In 1531, 1,600 houses were wrecked and 30,000 Uvea were lost, and again. In 1 755. In the same city, 60,000 people per Ished aathe result of earthquake, and a large portion of the town sunk beneath the waves. In 1 7 83 Meg- sins, which has been practically ob Uterated by this most recent disas ter, was almost entirely destroyed by a mighty shake, which, at the same time, caused the death of many thousands. The same Ill-fated city suffered heavily from seismic dib turbances In 1894 and 1896. In 1851 the South of Italy, the same region devastated by the earth quake of last week, was visited by an earthquake which blotted out 10,- 000 souls, and again, in 1&57. there wers other convulsions, the death- toll of which amounted to about 10.- ft oo. Th** most famous of all seis mic disaster which have visited Italy —that In which the twin cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii were de stroyed—-was not an earthquake, but an eruption of the volcano Vesuvius.

Jealousy Is believed to have been the ceuae. Mrs. Long was called to the dour where she met Mrs. Garner. They* talked excitedly for several moments, when pasgershy were startled by a scream from the former. Mrs. Gar ner dashed away, and the police have not yet been able to locate her.

With The Herald says news reached Bamberg Tuesday night that Jurt about dark Mr. Berry Gibson, a young white man of Denmark, had committed suicide by taking carbol ic acid. Mr. Gibson was cotton weigher at Denmark, having been elected to the position last July by the county board of commissioners. He was about twenty-four years old, and leaves a wife and a number of relatives. He was married only a few months ago to Mrs. Davis. No real cause can be assigned for his act, but it Is said that he has been despondent for some time, and has often said in the presence of others that he wished he was dead. About dark he went to his room in bis home at Denmark, and shortly afterwards when his wife went to the loor, it was locked. He did not an swer when iphe called to him, so she ailed for help at once and entrance '’fis effected by the window.

From recent reports received at the Department of Commerce and Leltor it appears* kthat the honey Interests of England have found It worth while to employ experts to supervise that industry. Cornwall the best honey producing county in that countr-y, was the first to engage the service of an expert in beekeep Ing, with vast commercial benefit When, three years ago, “foul brood,’ an Infectious disease among beer, attacked the ap’aros at Cornwall, aud worked great destruction, the sup-* ervlsors determined that It would be necessary to destroy hundreds of hives where the disease was preva lent. This forcible extinction,.of thv hives saved th-> Industry In the coun ty. There now remain but a few traces of the* disease. In prder that attention may b-: 1rawn to the success that may at- ‘end beekeeping the authorities have instructed their expert Inspector to visit all beekeepers in the county, examine the hives kept by them, and rive advice as to their condition and management. It is also the duty of the Inspector to work up markets. Value of Sweet Milk. The value of the pure sweet skim milk fed to pigs fresn from tae cyeiani separator, wes found by the wel’-ktovn dairyman.
