The committee has been informed that
there has already been some individual
soliciting for clothing, etc, on the part OF
negroes who profess to be flood refugees.
II does not require any great amount OF
reasoning to readily see how the present
emergency may be taken advantage of BY
a lot of lazy, indolent, begging negroes,
who may never have seen the BRACES bot
tom or a food but who will take advan-
tage OF the present situation to harass
the people by soliciting aims in the way
of food and clothing.
This, of course, is an imposition to be
guarded against, but even should the ap-
peal be genuine, the committee requests
that the suggestion be made to the citi-
zens that instead of doing out their con-
tributions of either money, edlbles or
clothing, that if they have anything in the
way of old clothing or money TO contri-
butte, they send it directly TO the central
committee, where It can be used to a bet
ter advantage and more Systematically,
and this plan will also insure more just
and equitable distribution of the supplies.
