quest me to take charge of various
contributions of money and proyi-
sions, and distribute the same TO the
destitute and suffering in different
parts of the State. You also suggest
ed the propriety of ascertaining, as
far rs possible, the necessities Of
the State; both of which duties I
have discharged to the best of my
ability, and now proceed to give you
and the public n brief. report of my
doings. .ecsH 4f-2
livery soon learned, from cores
pondence and personal interviews
with the most reliable gentlemen
from all parts of the State, that the
destitution was truly alarming, and
that, without the most vigorous ef-
forts for their relief, thousands of our
people must perish from starvation.
AS you will remember, my reports to
you, from time to time, were most
distressing, and here I must be per-
mitted to say, that the people of
South Carolina owe you n lasting
debt of gratitude for your lntiring
efforts in their behalf during this
dreadful year of famine. ..s
