SCORES MEET DEATH IN OKLAHOMA |1 Tornado Romps Through Rural District and Razes Many Homes as It Passes 'Away. Muskogee, Okla., May 3.?Fifty , persons are reported killed and more; than 150 injuried iQ a storm that' swept the little town of Peggs, Okla., ! in Cherokee county, last night. i A special train carrying doctors and nurses and equipment left Muskogee for Peggs this morning. All doctors and nurses in Tahlequah also have gone. Practically every store in Tahlequah which is the county seat of Cherokee county, has closed and several hundred people have gone to Peggs to do rescue work. Direct communication with the o?ri>lfon town was imnossible this morning as all wires from Muskogee to Peggs are, down. Chelsea, Okla., May 3.?Searching parties today spread out over the country north of here to ascertain the full extent of a tornado that struck just before dusk last night bringing death to at least five persons and serious injuries to a dozen more. No estimate of property damage has been made, although it was indicated it would be heavy. The district afTected is rural and as wire communication was paralyzed it was believed here the exact loss of life and property damage might not be known for some time. The storm passed near Chelsea and many persons here watched it twist its way out of sight. Reports were current here that the storm ha<j struck other nearby towns, >1 Why J Shorty _ " " ^ e was exhausted mi irder to obtain each on still remains far ind is daily becomii ! not as high as form :s has been curtaile( re been climbing hig .

Many narrow escapes were being eported. Among those who weathered the storm were Walter Sutherland and eight friends who were ridng in a wagon when they saw the jtorm approaching. Sutherland hitchid his team to a telephone pole and the party took refuge in a nearby iitch. The storm passed overhead without injuring any of them, but the horses and wagon were carried iway. o Business Men Plan Big Campaign Columbia, May 2.?Plans for the 3tate-wide campaign of the South Carolina Development Board are going forward rapidly. The object of the drive, which will be made between May 24 and June 5, is to enroll a total of 5,000 individual memberships and pledge en annual Income of $250,000 for three years. Members of the campaign forces say there is no doubt of success, for the average in each county need reach only 109 members and $5,433. "Do it for South Carolina'' will be Blogan of the campaign. Officers of the development board point out that this is not a promise to do something but a justifiable boast of having already done several specific things. They say that it is the success which has been attained already with a small membership and income which has prompted tne euon iu uu uuic and in a larger way for South Caroline. The tentative program of the organization contains 18 projects of state-wide interest, none of which has heretofore been possible of accomplishment, but which will be certain to go through with 5,000 South Carolinians behind them. Most of these relate to the state's agriculture, with liberal attention to industrial and commercial possibilities. With the income sought, the board will be able to carry along all of them rapidly and then take on others as they may arise. o Johnson and Wood.
