NOIL AM) COMMENT. We received a card containing beauti. iul views of the strawberry section of the country along the route of the At lantic Coast Line Railroad Company. '‘It is remarkable the ^extent to which this industry has l>eAS» developed in Horry, Wiiliamsburg and Charleston o 1 counties ns well as in places in North Carolina. There is no section of the country better adapted to the growing of strawberries than in Colleton county. Onr truck fanners along the coast ought to iutrodnee the strawberry in addition io the present crop i grown by them. SAN FRANCI5C0 DESTROYED. ihe world was shocked last Thursday morning when the news was flashed to every i>nrt of the globe that the great and beantifnl city of San Francisco had * e' been shaken down by an earthquake. The following day came the announce- ment that fire had added to the destruc tion already wronght by the earthquake and that practically all of what was left by the earthquake would be devoured by the flnme». No such catastrophe has -v o > ever happened to any American city and there have been few,If any cases, recorded within recent times in the his tory of the world. While there hfive been earthquakes that have killed more jieople yet there have been none iuVhich there has been such a loss of property. His not known at this time how many people iVere billed, but it is almost cer tain to nnmlier at least one thousand. The property loss is variously estimated at from three hundred to five hundred —' r * million dollars. The earthquake came without warn ing, the first shock having occurred at b.13 in the morning. The populace was asleep and many were Rilled without ever waking, while hundreds of others were injured. Close upon the heels of the earthqoake came the fire, both of which rendered three hundred thousand people hcmeless. , San Francisco was the most beantifnl and wealthiest city on the Pacific coast. It was situated on San Francisco Bay and was the gate-way to Hawaii, the Phillipines, Japan and China. A great part of the commerce from the United States with the Phillipines and with ^the Orient passes through the city. But in addition to the wealth that came to the city by rea* •oa of its commerce, 'be city is situ ated in a very fertile and populous farming country. „ The Mirronuding country is also rich in minerals.- The city contained many handsome palaces of millionaires and quite a number of beantifnl buildings which rivalled those • of New .-York in height and magnifi cence, bat all of these ^rs now laid low, and the once prond and beantifnl city is now in rpins. While the desolation of this city and it's people is great yet the response to the call for help which has come from evefy nook and corner of the civilised world is indeed gratifying. Tbe hearts of American people have been touched •ltd they have responded cbeerfnlly and Uktmttj. The millioasof dollars that to feed and, and many other cities are co i *t bn'iug one ht.n:’rfd thousand dolla~s or more. I’-iv.** »u-< v it.. nUo been most liberal, among whom may be metiontiou, K.

If is thought that within a few days when the smaller towns and cities get in their contributions that the entire sum will have passed ten million dollars. It is indeed eneournging to know that there is such a liberal response from nil the wealthy cities and wealthy people, yet every town and every citizen in this section of the country should give some thing. Many towns in this State are getting up funds and sending them in. Charleston has raised $1105, Columbia 5??, Greenville $.500, Orangeburg $1000, Union $1)5, Anderson $750 and Aiken $400. Walterboro should certainly j >in the list and send something to the suffering in this stricken city. If every person in town would give one dollar what a great help it would be to those who a*e without home and without food and clothing. Let ns do something, iTowever little it may he. Onr town has been greatly blessed iu every way, we have been remarkably free from fire, storms and earthquakes and we should certainly show our gratitude by helping those who v.{ are now iu need. The Press and Standard will take pleasure in received and forwarding to the proper anthorities any amonnts that may be given. 2?robzto Quag's j{otizez. Administrator's Notice. In Re.
