THE SEMI-WEEICl.r KUbfiBONlAfl. ft ROWLAND DEPARTMENT McNkill s'tixnx burn Manager There is no disaster in history to compare with the destruction of San Francisco. One ot the fairest of American cities 1 swept from the face of the cartli. a tast multitude of peopk' are left homeless and turnpenny ami nothing but desolation marks iln spot where once stood a proud and progressive city. The de struction of property will run up into the hundreds of millions, much of which is doubtless ;i total loss. The strugRles and efforts of the builders of the cit.v that left their monuments in pa. latial homes and towering busi ness blocks must have a rebirth. In the excitement of the hour, the prophecy was made that per haps the city would never be re built as the outlook pointed to a complete annihilation; but tin other report came that the best people of the citv were using eve ry effort to check the progress of the flames and at the same tune were making embryonic plans to rebuild the city even before it was destroyed. It is character istic of the American people that no disaster, however appalling the magnitude, can daunt them. Fires, earthquakes and floods may destroy their homes and leave them penniless, but not lung, short of death can break their ' spirit. lieiore ine nres nave ceased to smoulder, we predict that preparations for replacing the destroyed buildings will have begun, and that from the ashes of her ruins will spring a grand er and more beautiful ban Fran cisco than the one that was once the gateway to the Pacific. There is an old proverb to the effect that one man's loss is an other's gain. It might bo added that it is often a whole com in uni ty's gain. We have profited by the misfortune of a colored nns creant during the past week. His timo devoted to the town's inter est has been spent in street clean ing and, inconsequence, there is a wonderful improvement in the appearance of Main street. A lot of tin cans and other rubbish that should have been removed by some souvenir garbage collec tor long ago have disappeared in the last few days. It would be interesting to know just what per cent, of t he cot ton crop of the South was planted last week. In this immediate vicinity, by far the greater part of the cotton planted went under ground then. It has boon ideal weather for farm work, notwith standing the fact that the land is gettihg thirsty and hard in some places to such an extent that it does not break easily. However, all things considered, it has been a very favorable spring for pre paring land and planting crops. Miss Mary fcoutherland, of lied Springs, is visiting friends in town. Mr. Colon Stubbs spent Thurs day in Payetteville on business. Miss Anna Worthy, of Car thage, is visiting Dr. and -M rs. W. E. Evans this week Rev.
