IR RELIEF NEEDED

The first contribution To the Ander-
son Relief Association comes from Mr..
Cullen Sullivan, who was elected pres
ident of the organization at the initial
meeting last, Thursday night. His per-
sonal cheque for $1k was drawn yes
terday morning in iaJor of the Ander-
son Relief Association. but made pay
able to The Anderson Daily Intelli-
igencer in order IA destitute famil-
les, who are in need of immediate re-
lief and who probably would be suf-
fering before the Relief Association
could be gotten on working basis,
might be succored at once.
Temporary Work.
Several days ago The Intelligencer
received reports OF sevearl families
In the city and county being in dis
ltress and in need Of immediate assis-
lance. The situation was placed be-
fore the public through the editorial
and news columns of this paper, with
the result that subscriptions in cash,
food, fuel. clothing and d~elicacieg for
the sick were forthcoming In suff-
cient quantity to alleviate suffering
temporarily. The intention of The In
telligencer all along has been to
bring assistance to shese destitute
families until the proposed relief as
ISOLATION could be organized and plac-
ed Jon q working basis. This paper
shall continue these efforts until the
newly organized Anderson Relief Az
ISOLATION has perfected plans and Ia
ready to take over the work. What
funds or supplies are on hand at the
time the association takes over this
work will, OF course, be turned over
to the proper authorities representing
the organization. /" ~ 49,, 4
