The general assembly Of the South

annual session here heard today the
annual report of the executive
committee Of Home Missions, which
was submitted by Rev. S. L. Morris,

Committee serves twelve nationali-

The report showed funds raised
for this cause during the year
amounted to $523,401, a decrease
Of $20,030, resulting in the commit
tee for the first time in ten years
to report debt amounting to $780,
600. The committee, the report
stated, gave as the reason for the
Indebtedness the necessity of larger

MANY TRAMPED TO DEATH
Building Burned SO Rapidly fJotEa-

CAMDEN, S. c., May 18.-Seven-
ty-one are known to be dead and the
condition of two others is still
doubtful, was the toll of a Cleveland
school house fire last night. eight
miles from hits city, according to
local county officials.
The collapse of a narrow wooden
stairway leading from the second
floor where an entertainment incl
dent to the closing of the school
was in progress, caused many of tho
deaths, a number Of persons being
crushed in the debris. Others were
cut off from escape and in this way
burned to death, while still others
jumped from windows.
The fire was caused by the over
turning of an oil lamp on the stage
during commencement exercises,
which were witnessed by the crowd
that jammed the Soom. A panic fol-
lowed.
The school building was two
story frame building and burned rap
idly before outside aid could he
summoned, but nothing remained to
be done but to collect the dead and
for those still alive to render medical
care to the injured.
The death list reads like roster
of the families of the community.
Family after family were virtually
wiped out In almost every instance
where parents We're listed as dead,
from one to four children also per-
ished.
The audience was watching a little
comedy being presented by the pu.
pills, when the lamp, which was sus-
pended from the ceiling by bracket
fell to the stage.
The place was insured and little
effort apparently was made to fight
the flames which were Quickly com
municated to the dry timber Of the
building.
Mothers with children in their arms
were trampled under foot. Young and
old alike fought for exit.
The stairway collapsed, many be-
ing impaled on the jagged timbers.
Others were pinned down by the
weight of bodies above them.

COMMISSIONERS WILL
APPLY DOUBLE TAX LAW

DUBLIN, May 18.-Formal notice
has been given by the county COM
misisoners that all parties who do
not make returns to June l will be
double taxed. This is to avoid the
extra expense that comes each year
from late returns.
1t has been the custom Of late for
a great many taxpayers to wait
until the board of equalizers is in
session and then make return to
them. This practice has resulted in
heavy expense to the county from
the reason the equahzers are paid
by the day. and each day they are
in session the more the cost mounts.
To avoid this expense, and to close
the tax receivers books on time,
also, the commissioners have in
shuctad the tax receiver to double
tax an who do NOS make returns by
June /.
