To the Peonle of Soutb Carolina. An
awful calamity has befallep the peonIe of
Clifton and Pacoiet. whereby NOT onIv
has fearful loss of life occurred. fifty
or more people having been drowned
and 500 men, women and children been
rendered homeless and 1000 thrown out
loss of life occurred at Pacolet. nearly as
many will be out of employment, and at
least there will be great suffering there
also. Such n catastrophe, coming with
such suddenness and without warning,
places these people totally without means
and without shelter. Local aid is not
sufficient to overcome the great devasta-
tion and suffering and great hardships.
Even death may result unless prompt aid
is extended. Representative citizens be-
ing at these places and who are familiar
with the circumstances have informed
me that assistance is urgent and re-
quested me to call upon the people of
the State to come to the rescue, in order
that further and more serious suffering
may be prevented. I feel that it is only
necessary to let the true condition be
known in order that the generous hearts
of the people of the State may be touched
to a quick response. The people have
never failed In accordance with our
ability, however small it may be, but
above all let it be prompt. Mr.. II. H.
Gibbes, of the Columbia Bank, has
kindly consented to receive all moneys
that may be contributed, and whatever
may be sent Will be promptly dispatched
