LITTLE AID FOR POOR.
Organized Charities Unable to Cope
 With Situation.

Contributions to the Organized Charities of Montgomery have been surprisingly small in the past week. There have been but few contributions to meet the press ing need created by the cold weather
 In the past week only S7 in money and four tons of coal were received. The coal was contributed by a Montgomery dealer who has announced his purpose of making similar donations during the con tinuance of the cold weather. Many calls are being made upon Secretary Gladden. Harrison and he is under the necessity of sending away unaided many deserving cases.
 Secretary Harrison was notified yester- day in a communication from Secretary James E. Maddox of the local lodge of the National Union that the lodge would contribute $10 worth of coal to the poor of the city.
