Capt. Charles A. Polack and the

made the ship their home for more
than two years were put ashore and
housed for the time being at the i'm

Mr.. Barlow Walsh, chairman of the

that the fund in his hands has been
exhausted. the amount expended on
Chtistmas distribution having been
much greater than ever before--one
hundred. and thirty families having re-

only eighty-nine last year-and that
since Christmas the appeals for as
sistance from worthy persons who
were suffering for food. fuel or medi-

more frequent than at any previous
time since he has been in charge Of
this fund. ....
There/is not cent in the trea.. ,.ry
ana today there Is more destitutton
and greater actual want and suffering
In Sumter than was ever. known be-
fore; and this condition has been
terribly aggravated by the unusually
severe weather for the past few days.
There are dozens of families without
sufficient food, they are thinly clad,
and they have no fuel and the houses
In which they live afford little protec.

Many members Of these families are
Ill. often it Is the bread-winner Of the
family who Is incapacitated from
work. while his wife and children are
left to suffer in this bitter weather.
The destitution is real not imagin-
ary and the suffering is acute. Mr..
Walsh and the Charity League have
been appealed to for help by some OF
those who need immediate assista nee,
while many others are enduring their
suffering In silence and their needs
have been made known by neighbors
who are acquainted with the facts.
Mr. Walsh and the ladies Of the Char
ity League and other organizations
and individuals have done all within
their power to alleviate the distress
OF the most needy cases. but their
means are limited. and the regular
charity fund. as stated. is now ex-
hausted.
All who are charitably disposed and
can spare few dollars or few cents
for the relief Of worthy distressd

much az they are able to give in the
