Brunswick, Ga, October 1I.-(Spccial)-
For the first time since the fever was an
bounced i'll Brunswick, the people are pre-
pared to check the course OF famine. With
ihe supplies ON hand daily arriving. and IN
course of preparation for shipment III va
rl0uS places where funds have been sub
scribed, together with such amounts as can
be safely looked for to arrive from time TO
time, it seems very probable that the poor
can be properly fed. While an enormous
amount OF provisions is being daily con-
sumed, it is thought from the reports pub
iished i'll Atlanta, Macon, Savannah. Au-
guSta, Columbus and numerous olner small
en- but very generous places, that the bur
den of the peoples suffering will be re-
Iieyed 1t is evident that the public at
large only required proper knowledge Oh
the facts actually existing to cause them
to send supplies TO bFuHSNiCh, anu thc
spontaneous appeals of the ministers aud
officials. through The Constitution, with the
strong editorials accompanying them, nave
brought succor here in such measure as to
relieve the officials minds and allow them
the time and privilege TO care for and attend
the sick.
Joining in with The Constitution. and in
appeals sent forth on previous dates, the
press of the entire state and over the south
and north, edited by both sexes and colorS,
has contributed to the relief fund. While
Il is hard to reach all and respond to their
noble work the people of brunswick desire
ii known that their acts are appreciated.
The New York World, while not preparing
q special relief fund, wired its correspond
dent here Sunday night to provide it with
an estimate of the supplies needed. This
action indicates that The World has supplies
on hand for Brunswick, which will be CRATE
fully received.
