A FAMINE-STRICKEN SPOT.
Thousands of Feopl« Sum-ring—An Entire
County WI thon t Food and Appealing for
Aid—Tales of Distress From the Stricken
District.
Danville, Va., June 12.—But little relief
yet reached Patrick county, where
from JLOOOto 8,000 people are actually starv
ing. There is no food In the county- Com
and meal Hour cannot be obtained for love
or money. The crops last fall were almost
a complete failure. Not a drop of rain fell
from early in April to October. The ground
became ns dry as powder. Corn withered
and died. Almost everything green
burned up by the hot rays of th - sun and the
farmers were able to save but little from
their Helds ol wheat, fills little lasted them
through the winter, but it has long since
given out. For some time past the people
have been living on the scanty supplies for
warded from Danville and Richmond. Rut.
these were not sufficient to go around, and
now several thousand
suffering for want of
stares them in the face. Indeed, there l.ave
been a number of deuths alreudy, directly
traceable to the lack of food.
Patrick county is situated on the extreme
southern border of the State, in the Blue
Ridge mountains. A great portion of It is
hard to reach. The roads are bad and run
over the mountains. They are steep am!
•Icy und to supply the starving thousands
is not un easy task. As far back
lier the officials of the county realized that a
famine was impending aud took what steps
lav In their power to avert it. But their
efforts were futile, and as soon as hunger
drove them to it appeals were sent to Dan
ville for aid. Over a thousand bushels of
corn have already been forwarded from t his
point, and this does not.Include contribu
tions from Hichmom'. But these supplies
* but a drop in the nueket. The appeals
for help come pouring in day bv day must
continue until the latter part of July when
the new crops can be depended upon. The
famine Is widespread. It not only affects
the poor but strikes home at the well-to-do.
Most of the dist ributions of provisions are
made at Patrick Court Housfe. Supplies are
sent by rail to Ilurut Chimneys, in Henry
county, »ml then hauled in wagons. People
who have visited the farnino-striuken county
tell sorrowful tales of the sights witnessed.
Farmers along the country roads, suffering
for want of food, will not tie able to harvest
their cro|K unless help reaches them. Their
pinched faces speak the suffering which they
are forced to endure. Some of them have
loaf of bread for many a day.
These facts are not exaggerated in the least.
The uppeuls which come up from the famine
stricken region tell the tale of distress.
Wlicu a wagon of corn arrives at, Patrick
Court House j»eople camiot wait to be
served. They thrust their bunds into their
bugs and gnaw ut the kernels to alleviate
their Inniger. A peck of corn is a prize
which will bring a man muny a mile. It is
sorrowful to see children, with their wan
faces, eagerly grasping u handful of the
golden ticHsurc und carefully guarding
every kernel. They cannot wait for the
corn to be ground. Two or three hundred
men and women are continually waiting at
Patrick Court House and praying for succor.
When provisions arrive and they go to their
homes their places are taken by others.
Anything In the way of food is acceptable.
Flour and corn an* needed above everything
else.

Pittsburg, Pa., June 12. —The Superior
mill did not start up to-day according to
promise, for the reason that the proprietors
could not secure enough non-union work
•ii. Manufacturers here depend a good
deal upon non union mills supplying them
with iron to till orders, but the plan does
not work satisfactorily. Non-union men
come in very slowly, knowing it to be a
dangerous 1 »usine» s, us well as uncertain.
The starting up of the Cincinnati mills is a
strong point in the strikers' favor, as the
Pittsburg manufacturers must either resume
work or let trade drift to other points. Presi
dent Jarrett is now in Louisville, and holies
to have the same suce
lie will visit Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleve
land before he returns home.
The belief among the Amalgamated peo
ple here is that the mills ai all those places
will la* running in a short time. This would
force the manufacturers here to resuuu. or
lose more r .»an they could jaiselbly gain by
holding out. The strikers ure remarkably

June 12.—The Iron-workers'

who was sent from here to Pittsburg to con

Association, returned to-day and this even

of his trip, which was in brief that the Bay

work
as they could settle the exist
ing local differences. These differences are
of such a trifling character that both manu
fact tirets and st r.kers ure confident that by
this time next week the furnaces here will
be aglow. The rt suit of Bullock's trip is
the cause of much good feeling among the
