THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER. 27. 1900. WHERE HELP lb NEEDED, A calamity has fa]j3c.upon one| of our Southern Stales so griev o.us that, ihe eyes of the whole world nre turned towards her with compassion. Swept by wind and wave the coast of Texas is devastated, the city of Galveston being marked by the elements of destiuetion|as their particular prey. No pen picture can convey an adequate idea of the awful havoc wrought. The scene baffles description and staggers belief. Unparalleled in the history of the nation is the loss in,a single night of 12,000 Jives and $20,000,000 worth of property! I'1? aI" enli'uriniT TaV!1R I 1UC l?4USG VI OlIUWHip ?y? - - I should appeal to South Carpliniun? mere iorcibly than.a mere sentiment. When earthquake j shocks rent the citv.of Charleston in 1S9G more than hall a million dollars was contributed to her relief. Again, within the past few years, when the sea-islands and the coast of Beaufort were desolated by the hurricane's bl^ist aid was sent front, every quarter ol the union.. * - * -p * i ? mese races ui surecem Happening should quicken our humanitarian impulses and cause us to respond willingly and cheerfully toihe cry ct the homeless, and suffering m Texas. Every dollar is needed as early as possible. Already some money has been forwarded lrom our town, but this is not enough.

Money is more plentiful no* than at any other time of the year and we expect you to qorue forward and pay for the paper. A dollar does not mean nwich to you, but it does to us, as there are several hundred ' who owe us that amount. JSow, without further notice won't you call and hand us the small amount 4" i of your indebtedness? It wil! make! you feel better and also put us in J a pleasanter frame of mind.
