Carolina to contribute to the aid of the sufferers from the Cleve land school fire was issued this after noon by Governor Thomas (J. MeLeod. The governor issued his proclama tion aftor he had talked by telephone to people in Camden and had been told that despite the fact that all of fers of aid hud been declined during the day, money would be needed. His proclamation follows: "Whereas, the terrible disaster caused, by the burning of the Cleve land school house in Kershaw county last night is one of the i'rentest trag edies our State Juts ever known, and "Whcras, the cry of sorrow and distress of the relatives and friends of the men, women and. children who lost their lives has reached the fur thermost corners of the state, and "Wheras, in many cases these peo ple are suffering n<>t only from the unparalleled anguish of such bereave ment but they have been deprived of financial support by the loss of tho head of their families, and are in need of assistance to give them the neces sities of life; "Now, therefore, I, Thomas G> M c? Lead, as governor of the State ,do call upon the people of South Caroli na to do everything within their ^>ow er to abate as much aH possible the anguish- of our fellow citizens. In the name of humanity, let those of us who are able send generous con tributions of funds to supply physi cal assistance to those who need it. Let us also unite in praying to the Divine Healer to sooth their broken spirits with Mis lo^e and in assuring them of the boundless sympathy iind brotherly love of the people through out the State who sorrow with them." The governor designated The Co lumbia State as the collector of funds. A nation-wide search is in progress*; for John Leonard Whit'ford for the alleged slaying of Policeman Dennis Griffin in Cleveland, Ohio, about ten days ago. After tho killing Whitford is alleged to ha.ve tried to cremate tho policeman's body. The murderer is reported to "have been last seen near Syracuse, N. Camden Ice Co.

NO CHANGE IN LIST DEAD Young Women Thought To Have Been Loit Located ? Boy ; Suffers Mental Hurt. (By Stat? Correspondent of The Co lumbia State.) Camden, May 21.? -Ah morbid sight t !, from l'ar and m ar nuitimu' to come on heartless journeys to the site of tin* Cleveland school and tin* great grave where rest the remain-, of the majority of the victims of Thurs day's grim <lisaster, interest in Kpr shaw coyinty centers how about ^he living and all efforts are being diVec ted to the aid of the orphans,, widows, widowers and other bereaved ones who escaped the fire only to suffer ir reparable loss of relatives *and friends. The list of known dead stands at 77, investigation today having re vealed the fact that Miss Ida Black moii, teacher in the Thorrte Hi I! schoo|, and Miss Blanche Thorne, also of Thorne Hill, reported yesterday as probably lost, were not at the school house on the night of the fire. Miss Blackmon, Miss Thorne, and Miss Isa belle Ballard, all of Thorne Hill, ac cording to information received today had planned to attend the Cleveland school closing, Thursday. 'However they changed their plans and so only by this narrow margin escaped poa sible death in the blaze. Camden friends of the three young women, knowing of their plan to attend the commencement exercises and unable ^to learn anything of them since the fire, presumed that they had been lost in the school house blaze and so the report started that they had been killed. N SPENDS BUSY DAY. T. Carter Taylor, director of dis aster relief for the Southern division of the lied Gross, -who has taken, charge of the relief work, Mrs. Marg aret Miller and other relief officials spent a busy day today in completing their preliminary survey of conditions in the stricken districts. The survey reveals the fact, Mr. Taylor said, that ail previous estimates of money need ed were woefully inadequate. Num-. bers of orphans and others needing immediate assistance have been found and to take care of these emergency cases a sight draft for $2,000 has been drawn upon the American Red Cross to give the relief committee ! funds with which to proceed at once j with their la At the meeting of the relief com mittee today a total of $4,004.65 was reported as having been collected for the relief fund in Camden, the great er proportion of this amount -having been given by Kershaw county folk. This amount does not include the con | tributions from points out of Kershaw j county, collected through The State, hut does, however, comprise various I amounts sent in direct to the commit tee. CASKS OF MENTAL SHOCK. Investigations today, brought to light no other persons known to have ! suffered serious physical injuries in the fire. A number of cases of mental shock were found, however, *and it :s these hurts, Mr. Taylor believes, that will probably be the most, serious. Among these is Otis Arrants, a young lad who was a member of the cast of "Topsy Turvy," the commencement play. Young Arrants lost his sister in the fire and is still suffering from shock as a result of terrible sights he beheld and the experiences he went through. The horrible scenes appear to be continuously coming before his mind. Again and again ho sees the burning building and hears the cries of the dying. The boy was among the last persons to escape alive from the building and was perhaps the last to make his way via the jammed stairway. He had to cover his head with his coat and with this shield was able to crawl to safott over the living dam that practically cut off all passage down the stairs. In his ter rible trip down the human indder he dropped his watch in some way. The watch was dug out of the lire the next morning still running. Charles Davis, 11 months old in fant. orphaned by the fire. Mr. Taylor said, had been tarried to the Camden hospital, where he will be tared for until some permanent arrangement t an be made. Walter Davis, who was under medical treatment in Columbia at the time of the fire, has returned t.> the capital, carrying v. ith him his two surviving daughter-, eight and ten years old, respectively. Mr. Davis lost his wife and two children in the holocaust. The children f> r the time bring. aT least, will make '.h< ;r homes with W. S. Davis of Co'.m'da, Mr. Davis* brother.
