The Camden confederate. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1861-1865, 1863-10-30


The Free Market of Charleston one of the nobest
and most useful charities extaut, after than
twelve month of successful operation is in danger of
suspension and even final soppnge. 1t is nsti'u-
tio, founded by private patriotism and benevoence,
endorsed by the city authorities Of Charleston, and
recognized and encouraged by the Legislature Of the
State. Its great and highly useful purposes is to sup
ply provisions free Of expense, to the needy amias OF
soldiers and seamen, fighting the battles OF their coun
try or dead in her service and upward of eight hun
dred families depend on its bounty for their daily bread.
1t has become great public necessity. and it is the
duty of every christian and patriot, male and female
rich and poor young and old, to contribute to its sup
port, in proportion to means and abty-the rich man
out oil his wealth. the poor man out OF his poverty,
the widow with her mte-every large stream should
pour every little rl trckle its refreshing into
this great reservoir Of patriotic benevolence, to be
dispensed in God-blessed bounty 10 the wives ard
children, the widows and orphans, the sisters and 9TH
cr female dependents, of our brave sodiery and
men. The final stoppage, the suspension, of
this charity would he of the direst calamtes that
could beiall our City and State-it would inlict dis
tress suffering, and even starvation on numbers now
comfortably led by its bounty, and perhaps. lead to
breadrios conservative city, her serious in
jury and deep disgrace. Cone then fellow citizens,
to The rescue, promptly literally efficiently and not
only the Free Market from destruction suspen
Sic0, but sustain il, III helth.ul vig God bless
ed and manblessng institution. Let donations in
money and in kind pour in lavSly from every quar-
ter CT the City and state; and the consequences will
be happy indeed. Not only will bread and meal and
meat bc sustainingly furnished soldiers and
mems families but the leart Of the warrior will be
cheercd and his nerved to victorious battle against
the vandal and ruthless foe by the comforting convc
ton at his wife and little ones patrotically and
sufficiently cared for by their fellow citizens home.
Let our farmers and planters especially every
tion of the state, send liberal sul plies of vegetables
and provisions, from their gardens their tel3s, their
barns al their smoke houses and swell to overflow
ing the great reservoir of Free Market charity.

Come up, then, one and all, to the hallowed work,
and not only earn the soldiers and seamen's undying
gratitude but lay up treasure in Heaven, where ne.
