(By Associated Press.)
Camden, S. C., May 18—Ker¬
shaw county and South Caro¬
lina tonight had buried their un¬
identified dead which occurred
at 6 o’clock this afternoon near
the place where less than twen¬
ty-four hours before they had
gone in a happy, care-free
mood to witness the play¬
ing of “Miss Topsy-Turvy”
by students of the graduating
class of the Cleveland school.
The bodies of fifty to sixty of
the seventy-three men, women
and children who perished when
the school building burned last
night were laid in one big grave
forty by • twelve feet. By
side of the grave as the obse¬
quies were said stood South Car¬
olinians from all sections drawn
to the scene by the fact that
friends and relatives were
among those suddenly taken
away when a hanging lamp fell,
setting fire to the’ building.
Among those present was Gov¬
ernor McLeod.
The fire was caused by the over¬
turning of an oil lamp on the stage
during the commencement exercises,
which were being witnessed by a
crowd that jammed the room. A
ie followed.
The school building, - a two-story
frame building, building, containing containing three three
school rooms, burned rapidly and
fore outside aid could be summoned
nothing remained but to collect the
dea,-3 and give medical care to the in
jured. All available doctors
called from Camden, and other
by towns.
The death list reads like a roster
of the families of the community.
Family after family was virtually
wiped out in almost every instance
where parents are listed as
frmo one to four children perished,
Among the dead are:
County Coroner G. L. Dixon and
his young daughter.

Grim tragedy, stalking in the wake
of mirthful comedy, today had turned
Kershaw county into a county of
mourning.
The climax of the commencement
play of the Cleveland school, a rural
institution, eight miles from here, had
been reached shortly after 9 o’clock
last night When tragedy in the form
of an oil lamp stalked on the little
stage and was overturned. The lamp
fell anu overturned and exploded. In
an instant the stage was a mass of
flames. Panic seized the audience of

BIG LAND DREDGE IS NOW
SURELY “MUD SLINGING”
First Work of Dredge Will Be
Digging of the Canal Near
Plant of the Marati me

The differences exjstjing between
the city and Dr. Frank Atkinson, with
reference to the construction of the
St. Simon Highway in front of Dr.
Atkinson’s home on Glynn avenue,
which has caused the work to stop
for the past few days, was
adjusted —j yesterday morning and ^ e
dredge which M been
.
up the road for the past few
days resumed work early in the af¬
ternoon.
It'wil( be remembered that after
Dr. Atkinson filed an injunction, stop¬
ping the work, an agreement was
reached before the injunction was
made effective. It was agreed that
the matter be submitted to arbitra¬
tion, the arbitrators to decide as be¬
tween the stand assumed by Dr. At¬
kinson ........ and the position ___ _______Mai taken by ....
city and the highway commissioners.
This agreement was reached on
day and therefore Wednes.lay'during the work on the
road coUinued the
celebration held marking the actual
beginning of work.
Yesterday, after a few conferences,
D r - Atkinson withdrew his
and _ the ease will now be dropped. The
engineers were at once notitfied and
the big dredge at once resumed work
In this connection it might also be
stated that the' mammoth suction
dredge Florida, which arrived in port
Monday morning, will begin active
operations this morning. Everything
is in readiness and beginning today
the big dredge will be busy for the
next several months.
The first work of the dredg? will
be the digging of the canal out near
the plant of the Maritime Industries
Corporation.
People of the city generally will no
doubt be glad to learn that Dr. Atkin¬
son has withdrawn his objections and
that there will be no legal fight over
that portion of the road which was in
dispute.
SUM WANTED FOR
ENCAMPMENT TO
BE FORTHCOMING
COMMITTEE OUT SOLICITING
YESTERDAY AND RAISED
ABOUT REQUIRED SUM
A committee composed of Carley
Zelmenoxitz, Jack Glover and J. L.
Andrews was out yesterday for the
purpose of raising the amount need
ed to bring the 122nd„ infantry,
Georgia National Guards, to St. Si
mon for the annual encampment and
up to last night only about one hun¬
dred dollars was needed. The amount
required is five hundred dollars.
It will be remembered that only a
small quantity of quartermaster’s
stores were purchased here last year
and for this reason merchants and
others did not care about responding
a 8 Rurally as before but the com
mlttee has been assured that this
will not be the case if the encamp¬
ment is hpld on the island this year.
On the other hand, it is stated, that
practically all the stores will be
bought from Brunswick merchants.
Last year even ice cream, sodawater,
Sp“”«r
getting near the entire patronage and
Brunswick paying “the freight,” so
t« speak. It is likely that the balance
will be raised and St. Simon desig¬
nated as the site for the next encamp¬
ment. This sum is needed, it is stat¬
ed, to prepare the camp site as of¬
ficers require.

Shangghaii, May 18.—'Lloyd Lehr
bas. an American newspaperman,
who was on the Shanghai-Peking ex¬
press train wrecked by bandits near
Suchow twelve days ago, but escap¬
ed before the foreign captives were
taken into the Shantung hills, has ar
rived at Shanghai from Tsaochwang
with the prediction that unless there
are unforeseen developments, the
prisoners will be released in tn days
or two weeks. He quoted Marcel
Oliver Berube, the French captive,
who was in Tsaochwang on a brief
“parole” from the bandit stronghold,
as saying:
“I am satisfied that on the slightest
suspicious move on our part or by
the Chinese troops, the bandits will
kill one or two of us. and send out
the bodies.’’
Lehrbas intends to return to
Tsaochwang shortly. Negotiations
with the bandits are proceeding, he
said, with everything possible being
done.
Communications to the foreign
hostages still can be forwarded from
Tsaochwang to the new and more
remote camp of the bandits, Lehrbas
added. Regarding the censorship, he
explained that delays in the trans
mjssion of telegrams from Tsaoch
wang were due chiefly to the single
manned by a lone operator 65
years old. who had to baffiMe floods
of official messages, principally to
