ININETY-ONE BODIES
TAKEN FROM RUINS
Explosion of Aetna Chemical Co.
Plant Near Pittsburg Reaped
Heavy Toll

Pittsburg, May 20.-Ninety- one
bodies had been taken from the ruins
of the Aetna Chemical Company's
plant at Oakdale, near here, up to
early tongiht, the total representing
the "known dead" as result of the
terrific explosion which wrecked the
plant last Saturday.
The work Of searching the ruins
was halted late today by a thunder
storm and officials ordered that no
one enter the devastated area until
tomcrrcw morning. This order was
made necessary by the fact .hat heavy
rains, falling upon thc acia covered
ground caused deadly fumes to rise
from the wrcckage. -
Of this number forty three bodies
have been identified, while the rema
of the bodies recovered, forty-three
have been identified, while the re.
remains of the others are charred and
blackcned beyond recognition.
Compilations today showed ninety-
four persons in Pittsburg hospitals
and company officials say that 100
mem bers of the working force at the
plant are yet unaccountcd for.
Federal, State, county and local in
vestigations of the disaster are in pro-
gress, but nothing SO Far has devel-
oDed to disclose the cause of the ex-
plosion.

GERMAN AGENTS ACCUSED
Reported to Have Stirred Up Murder
at Valdosta

. Valdosta, Ga, May 20.-The lynch
ing of four negroes near here for the
murder Of Hampton Smith and mur
derous assault upon his wife last
Thursday night assumed an entirely
new angle today when some of the
pest known negroes were declared to
nave reported to their employers that
German agents had been trying to
bring about trouble between the races
While officials were reluctant to be-
neVe that German propaganda had
any direct connection with the assas-
sination Of Smith, the negroes stated,
according. to information obtainable
tonight, that the pro- Germans had, in
addition to their efforts to create
trouble beween white persons and ne
groes, been actively trying to cripple
farming operations.
The situation, however, has duieted
down noticeably tonight, and practi-
cally had resolved itself into q deter
mined effort by officials of several
counties to capture Sid Johnson, who
IS said to have been the perpetrator of
the whole affair. Johnson is believed
to have taken refuge in "Mud Swamp"
several miles from here, and Officers
have surrounded that place so thor
oughly that they believe it impossible
for johnson to escape.
1t was definitely established todav
that, only -four negroes nave peen

and a coroner's jury returned a YER

THE TOP ON IT'S RED
CROSS ALLOTMENT

This morning Clarendon's contribu-

tails something more than $21, 800
more than double the allotment given
us. That is a record which speaks for
itself. Nor is it q surprise to those of

for Clarendon people have given gen

the eloquent speaker or :he day. Over
$4,000 was subscribed here, and at
Liberty Hill colored church, where Dr.
Daniel spoke in the afternoon. At
Manning that night, the school audi
torium was crowded before the hour
for the meeting. Special music was
rendered by a choir or thirty. After
an opening hymn, Rev. Charles r..
Smith offered an eloquent prayer for
the success of the meeting. Mr.. S.

Daniel had the attention Of his audi

the address, which was not only elo-

of this address, the chairman, Mr.. F..
G.. Horton, asked for subscriptions.
For almost an hour pledges were
made as fast as they could be taken
down, there being few in the large
audience who did not manifest a de-

those received when he crashed to

Monday to citizens sending articles

in the city, town and country have
been instructed to examine all pack.

The unavailable material consists
of matches, explosives and inflam-

to be sent through the mails. Never

of the service.
The postmaster has been instructed

Why Not Kill the Rats?

West Virginia, through its COM
missioner of Agriculture has an
nounced rat killing week, from the
4th to the 18th of March. Why not
have rat killing week or rat kill
ing month in Virginia? If the State
does not announce one, the county
authorities could do SO; or the towns
could do so. When they become too
numerous In some homes, a few are
trapped and killed. If all the citizens
would attack them at the same time,
the number would be greatly reduced.
Shoot them, trap them. poison them
where the surroundings are suitable.
An immense amount of feed is an
nually destroyed by rats and an effort
to destroy them or reduce the num-
Der would add much to our food
supply.
