w "A. karnes, Of Huntington, rep
resentatiye of the Prisoners Relief
Society OF that city. who is spending
some time here in its interest furn-
ishes the following interesting infor-
nation concerning the work Of the
society and how much it is needed:
\ There are 10000 women and {, 900
children IN the United States today,
whose husbands and fathers are in
prison. and who are suffering for the
necessities OF life These people are
peculiarly hard to care for; the preju-
dice engendered against them by the
cause OF their restitution Is a. heart
breaking, soul-destroying thing, their
nearest neighbors look askance at
them, for no reason but that they are
unfortunate; the breaking up of their
families is looked upon with indiffer-
ence when they have already suffered
q thousand deaths in the grief of sep
aration.
The Prisoners Relief Society kept
a worthy woman with several small
children from being sent to the poor
house by sending her s. short time
ago. It also sent relief to woman
who, when she received it, had abso-
iutelJ nothing TO eat and whose two
small children were i'll Of scarlet
fever. Another woman had Just sold
bracelet given her BY her dying
mother, to buy food. IA sick woman
in Upshur county, who has seven chill
dren. is pleading for help, and many
others say if their children only had
food and clothing it would be such a
relief to their aching hearts.
These are only a few of the cases
in West Virginia. There are SO IN any
applications for assistance, SO much
awful poverty among the families OF
prisoners. that the management OF
the Prisoners Relief Society is at a
loss TO know how to meet the situa.
