cient ..quantity to alleviate suffering
temporarily. The intention of The In
telligencer all along baa been iu
bring as|lstanco to these destitute
families until the proposed relief as- I
soclation could be organised and plac- i
ed on a working baBis. This paper
shall, continue these efforts until the
newly organized Anderson Relief As
sociation has perfected plans and 1b
ready to take over the work. What
funds or supplies are on hand at the
time the association takes over this
work will, of course, .be turned over
to the proper authorities representing
the organization.
Comes to the Relief.
Reading In Sunday morning's paper
of. tho discovery of a family of six
people who were brought face to faco
with actual hunger and want, and
noting the statement funds collected
by The Intelligencer .for the relief of
suffering in the. city .were overdrawn,
Mr. Sullivan hastened,. hlB cop tribut ion
to the Anderb-on Relief: Association ano

that it might be used- in . cases oi
emergency until the organization has

. "I have Just read in your issue thlB
morning of another discovery of a
family in distress and that the private

- As stated by you, the Anderson Re
life. Association has not formally ad
opted a working plan and cannot well
do so until after the board meeting
Monday night, and >that of the City
Council Tuesday. Nevertheless I know
those who were, responsible for the
formation of this* association will ap
prove my action when I now cut
through the "red tape" and assume
authority to appoint you and those
assisting', you to represent the Asso
ciation in emergency relief of the .na
ture you. mention until a permanent
plan is put in execution next we?ff
' If you will keep me posted I shall
as pr?sident of the Association'person
ally solicit, funds to meet immediate
emergencies and herewith, enclose
my personal contribution .to' the re
lief fund of the Association in the
shape of a check for $16 which you
will treat as a contribution of the As
sociation to the emergency relief
within'your general supervision.
,: "If> you need more money at Once
I will see that it Is forthcoming.
"With the earnest wish for a strong
cooperation and permanent effort to
handle the situation, I am,
