Carrison, Jr., Mayor. Camden, S. CV> Dear Mr. Carrison: I am enclosing you check for $2100.00. This money contributed by the citizens of Sumter and collected through the Board of Trade, first, as a token of sympathy for those who have been so sorely afflicted by the burning of the Cleve land school. * It is true that money is a very poor comfort to those who have been de prived of their loved ones, but it can help to provide for those who have been deprived of father and mother, father, or mother, or husband, or any others upon whom tjiey were depend ing for support and education. All qf our people here deeply sym pathize with the people of Kershaw County in this most awful tragedy and only wish it were within our pow er to offer some other kind of relief, but no one can do this and we are sending you this money as oply a slight evidence of our sympathy for those who were called upon to suffer, but we trust that it will in some de gree help those who may need it in a financial way, as it can do nothing else. In addition to the enclosed check, we have already sent $100.00 for the City, the Knights of Columbus sent $100.00 and Mr. A. Weinberg tells me that he gave some one up there $25.00. Several of our people who went to the scene after the disaster contributed to the funds which were being collected there, and as other contributions come in, we will for ward same to you from time to time. Please accept this as a very inad equate expression of our sympathy. Very truly yours, L. I). Jennings, President Sumter Board of Trade. May 23, 1023. From Marlboro County. Senator Fqndcrburk has received the following message from Senator R. L. Freeman, oT Marlboro. Mr. Freeman is also editor of the Pee Dee Advocate. His message reads: "All Marlboro feels the deepest sym pathy and sorrow for Kershaw's stricken people." Mr. Spradley Dead. Mr. W. J. Spradley, an old gentle man bent with age, and a life long resident of Kershaw County^ died at the Confederate Home in Columbia last Friday and his body was brought to Mt. Zion Church near where he long resided for interment. Mr. Spradley was 84 years of age and had long been a cripple but was an industrious old gentleman with a kindly di&po&ition. U??u tha fathor of Mr. C. H. iipradley of this city and has numerous friends who will regret his passing. l'LAN OF R8UBF >V()HK. * ? .I..-. >? ' ???? Statement (iivfn Out |it Red Cross Headquarter* Yesterday, The general plan has been to take up the mo?t important matters tlrst and Then go into tho permanent relief work as rapidly a* possible,', First of all, .rapid iQVMtijntlQM were ntu<to by Mrs, Mdrgaret Miller, and the committee of volunteer wo man wdrkem, to see that nil orphaned children and all widows were tempo rarily caved for. In i\)is connection the infant Davis baby was brought to the Camden hospital whore it would be well caied for temporarily while permanent plans were being worked out by the Relief Committed. Mr. Walter Davis, who had returned from the TV B. Sanitarium at Colum bia, upon hearing of the loss of his wife and two children, and who was living at home alone with his two small children who survived the trag edy, was induced to return to the san itarium, and his two small chidren were sent to their uncle^a home, as a temporary arrangement. Several' other emergency cases were quickly investigated, and temporary plans put into effect which will take care of each case until more permanent plans can be worked out. The Volunteer Visiting Committee Organized by Mrs. Margaret Miller, is doing splendid work. This commit tee is composed of Mrs. W. D. Barret, Mrs. K. N. McDowell, Mrs. 10. C. KHchie, Mrs, A. D. Kennedy, Mrs. .J. W. Cantey, Mrs. B. C. Watts, Mrs, II. G. Carrison, Mrs. C. S. Yates and Mrs, A. K, Hlakeney. These good women are working on a regular visiting schedule, and are rendering splendid service. They are visiting those who need comfort and sympathy, and those who may possibly need some kind of practical help to tide them over the immediate crisis.* Awother emergency need which is receiving attention at this time is the many ' inquiries being received . from people in all parts of the coiyitry for information in regard to some rela tive or friend whom it is thought might have been affected by the trag? edy. These inquiries are being in vestigated and answered promptly. The Relief Committee is getting splendidly ojganizeji for the careful relief work to follow these emergency needs. The general plan of* perma nent relief is to investigate carefully each case of an orphaned child or wid owed woman, or others who may need help, and then to base the relief given on the needs in each case. It is' plan ned by the Relief Committee to see that every orphaned child is perma nently provided for in all ways; and to see that all others who need per manent help of whatever nature, are . adequately taken care of. We have been extremely fortunate in procuring the services of two very experienced Red Cross workers in the relief work here. Miss Allie McNeil and Miss Dorothy Dyer, experienced Reo Cross Disaster Workers, are now on, the way to Camden and will arrive this week. Both of these ladies have had un usual experience in relief work. After completing their college courses in re lief work and social work, they enter ed Red Cross service. They hav?* worked for the Red Cross both in this .country and abroad. Their experience in this country includes Fire-Relief work, Tornado relief work, Flood re lief work, and the like. They have also had experience in Red Cross re lief work in Greece, Roumania, Tur key, France, and other places. So they will come to Camden with a wealth of experience which should bo very valuable to our relief committee. Both of these workers had just been released from five months very ardu ous and trying work in connection with the New Bern Fire, where over 3,500 people were left homeless. They were on vacation When Mr. Taylor reached them by long distance phone, and told them about the situation here, and told the*i they were needed. Without a moment's hesitation both workers instantly volunteered to give .up their long looked for vacation and to start at once for Camden. They showed the real Red Cross spirit, and proved again that they, like all Red Cross workers, were in the service of those who suffer. From Representative Munn. Editor Chronicle: Will you please allow me a little space in the columns of your paper to express to the people of Cleveland" ScJ^ool and of Kershaw County who lost loved ones in that terrible disaster, my deepest heart felt sympathies in their terrible loss, and I pray Almighty God to look (lows from Heaven on these broken hearted people, and care for and com fort them, and I trust and pray to Almighty God that never again in history will the people of our county or any other county of our beloved United Stares have to stand by and witness what the people of Cleveland school witnessed on last Thursday night. May God help them is my prayer. Very respectfully. J. B. Munn.
