The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-09-15
A. M. Powell, Mayor.

Most nobly have the people of Raleigh
responded to the call in behalf of the
sufferers from the Galveston flood.
At Thursdays meeting $308.50 was sub
scribed and paid in and yesterday $3.50
was added to this amount-making in all
$S3S.5O. Part of this, as the above tele-
gram shows, has already been sent on.
More will be sent today.
The committee is still at work and con-
tributions are coming in to the banks
and the mayor, so that by tonight Raj
eigh's fund will likely have reached ST.
900 or more.
This is we'll The initial response from
Raleigh, as elsewhere, has been most
noble. The business community and the
people generally are keenly alive to the
necessities of the situation Let the good
work go on!
The committee and the mayor thus far
have done their work well.
The needs of the sufferers by the
storm increase daily as the meager sup
ply of lifes necessareS and comforts
saved from the wreck diminishes. The
number of practically helpless people to
be provided for increases, too as news
from the storm area discloses how wide
spread was the havoc and how awful in
it's effects. The great heat following
the storm, together with the personal
injuries, exposure and deprivations incl
dent to it, makes the situation in Calves
ton and whereabouts the most distress
ing of any that ever followed a great
disaster in this country. The call upon
popular charity is therefore the more
urgent andlit indicates that the volume
of the donations adequate to meet the
needs of the sufferers must be much lar
ger than could have been reasonably
estimated at the outset.
So deeply was popular sympathy
throughout the country touched, even
before help was asked or relief meas
ures were organized, that the giving
began almost with the first announce
ment of the distress. This is quite as
admirably American as it is human and
Christian. And it will not stop here.
Popular sympathy will not be blunted as
the days roll by and other events i'm
pale themselves upon popular attention.
The relief contributions must continue
nobody knows as yet to what limit. The
giving can hardly be overdone
