Ii. Kerr Taylor was a classmate
Of Rev. Frank P. Anderson, of the
Americas Presbyterian Church, at
Richmond Union Theological semi
nary In 1916 he went as Mis-
sionary to China. Now he is in the
midst Of the famine district, having
been taken from his regular post OF
religious work to aid in the reliet
activities. He has written a letter
home telling of conditions there as
he has seen them, which Mr.. Ander-
son has passed on to The Times
Recorder for the information of the
people Of this community who are
now assisting in the Chinese relief.
This letter follows:
"Siaochang, Chill, via Techchow,
Shantung, China.
MY Dear Friends: Perhaps you
will be interested in knowing Of nay
work here in the famine district Of
North China. came here in re-
Spouse to telegram asking for I'M
mediate help. We talked the matter
over at Tsingkiangpu-where in for
mer years many friends from vari-
Gus parts Of China have come to our
aid in famine times-and | was sent
to this work, friends there taking
over my mission tasks.
81 came by rail through Marking
to TechchOw, and then by mule cart
forty miles to Siaochang, Chill, and
further on ten miles to an Outsta-
ton Of that field. So / am in the
heart Of the famine district and OF
the relief operations.
The Siaochang mission field, now
the Siaochang famine relief field
contains several thousand square
miles, and for the present opera
tons are divided roughly into ten
circular districts, like so many
clocks, each with a radius of about
ten miles. | mention the clocks for
this will help to indicate the plan
of operations in each of these out
stations where the actual work of
relief is going on Each Of these ten
circular districts is divided into eight
or ten sectors, just as if you were
read of US all down here that they
will look us up on their trivs this
summer. / have a yard full of
chickens and fourteen nice hams, Sc

grain even at fearful prices. But it
is the normally poor and middle
class people who in a time like this
are striker and suffer.
In making the Investigation out
in the villages, the investigators go
IN teams of two. A team reaches a
village, inquiries for the head men or
elders in It, requests to be led to
only the very poorest homes in the
place, and, dividing forces, the in
vestigation starts they go on a
run. Every effort will be made by
all the villagers to secure one of the
coveted tickets which means bare
. ration of peck or so of grain each
month for the four or tive hard
months ahead. Only the very poor
est must have them; those who have
donkey or a cow or other wealth
must make that, or its sale, serve to
support them until harvest. As the
doors of each mud or brick house
are pushed open the investigator
hurrles in, glancing first at the faces
Of the huddled inmates where the
pinch of famine is sure to tell; then
into each side room in search of
signs of hidden animals or other
wealth; then into the living rooms
proper where pots and jars
may be holding grain. Everything is
searched until the investigation is
complete, though often mere
glance at a face is sufficient ana
the investigation ends there.
"And what do they see? / saw
faces pinched and bearing the tell
tale yellow; skins of dogs telling of
recent meals; chaff and fodder mix
ed with the harvest grain for food

and roots for their next meal. In
more than one home | saw, in the
jar that ordinarily holds grajn a

BOOSTS SUMTER
TO OLD FRIENDS
Mrs. Frank E. Mathews,
Of Plains, Writes
Barlow Editor

That she is not disappointed with
her home in Sumter county, TO
which she moved near Plains with
her husband 1S months ago from
Gainesville, is indicated by a letter
written by Mrs. Frank +. Mathews
to the editor of The TTibunC-NeWs
of Gainesville.
Mr.. Mathews was formerly q bus
mess man of Barlow county, and he
and Mrs. Mathews now operate
Broad Acres plantation, near Plains.
They are in the center of consider
able colony of former Barlow coun-
tians, some of whom are named in
her letter. Others not named in
clude Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Turner and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. Rarvey Tur-
ner and family, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Bishop and Mrs. Jim Turner ard
family. Her letter, which shows she
has developed into something Of =
Sumter booster, follows:
plains, Ga, April 26, 1921.
Editor Tribune-NeWs, Carriers
vile, Ga:
II wonder sometimes if the people
of dear old Barlow really knew how
much we would enjoy seeing them
they would stop over to pay US a
visit as they go through our part Of
the state How | wish you could
stand on our porch with me and see
our beautiful grain. Seventy acres
of oats just across the road from our
home; turning brown now, and such
heavy heads! Just about up to my
shoulders. Farther on we have 25
acres in wheat-the best most
of us have ever seen-nearly as high
as | am. Then we have about
twenty acres in rye a great deal
higher than my head. Altogether il
is splendid sight.
Frank and | were delighted to
hear Mrs. w. j. Neel in Americas
I last Monday. Her address on 10y
atty" was splendid and, together
with her wonderful personality,
made deep impression on the wo-
men gathered from all over the
Southwestern division About TWEEN
. ty ladies' from Plains were there to
hear her and came home very enthu,
siastic over her as our state leader.
az don't think you folks back
! home realize what little colony -
former Barlow citizens we have
here. Among them are the three
Kennedy brothers, Mr.. and Mrs
Walter Kennedy Mr.. Gilbert Ken.
nedy, Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie Bagwell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent, relatives Of
the Adairs and DR.. Weems; Mr.. and
Mrs. Cowart, Mr.. and Mrs Charlie

out here has been impossible. 1t is
only by unceasing efforts that
what is being done is accomplished
at all.
GAS l work at this job here day
after day, Sunday included, there
are two thoughts continually in my
mind, | wonder what these people
think of this succor that they re-
ceive-where it came from and why
it came; pure grace to them. Some
are thankful and say so. All are
evidently greatly satisfied. We're
all pretty much like that, suppose.

queer looking ground up substance
that once was the bark Of trees. A
poor shivering woman in one house
with the thermometer at freezing was
wearing only one thin cotton set Of
clothes, her others having gone TO
buy food Often the house itself had
been dismantled of some Of its tim
bers which were then sold to buy
bread. And 50 each house was enter
ed, almost regularly the people fell
upon their knees and begged for the
tickets that means grain for them
until harvest. And the pinch is just
starting We hear on every side.
China Responds, Too.
81 am glad that there has been
such ready response in other
places of China as well as in Amer
lea, England, and elsewhere, to this
need. and that funds are in hand to
administer effectual relief in so
many places. Many will still suffer,
but tens of thousands of lives are
being saved
"a day is set, the announcement
is made, and the needy ones come in
from a certain sector bringing THEN
tickets and receive their rations for
the month 1t is fine to see them
coming in to receive their grain
they bring their own sacks, pass
down the line, and their tickets hav-
ing been stamped, receive their ra-
tions. A motley throng it is, but
their faces tell the relief they fee
at this sudden gratutitous solving of
their food and life problems. Next
month they will come back with
their tickets, have them stamped
and receive another months scant
supply-and so on until harvest.
With the handful of workers, and
the enormous amount Of work, there
has been no time for anything but

standing at the center of the clock
and looking out to two consecutive
numbers on the dial, say two and
three. From this clock center the ac-
tual work of relief is carried on out
INTO the ten sectors, every village
beng accurately chartered. / am
located at one Of these centers, a
blg walled city where there are no
foreigners. We are receiving grain
daily nauled in mule carts forty or
fltty miles from the railroad at Teh-
CHOW, and In the court outside this
house there are five huge piles Of
gram covered with mating awaiting
distribution. We have a force Of
from thirty to fifty men at work
here daily. In a hull of operations /
am writing this account of the work.
vi course you want to know how
the grain Is gotten out from this
clock center to the suffering ones in
inc ten sectors, and perhaps you are
dcslrlous of knowing Just how these
are located, something of how a
famine looks and some of the evil
donces Of real hunger and need.

came into this section to see what a
normal appearance a famine strick-
On area presents. The splendid
wheat crop that is in prospect rath-
or serves to becloud the realization
Of four past empty years of flood
and then drought. And of course in
any large stricken area there are
numbers of people who by the sale
Of property, animals, household eff
tects, etc, can manage to purchase

The Last Judgment

PETTER be the starving fam
inc victims IN North China
than too kind hearted to feel for
them and to help them. The last
judgment hinges upon whether we
have been or have not been kind
hearted and helpful to those in ex-
IRENE need.
Il was an hungered; and ye
gave me meat for "inasmuch as
We have done it unto one Of the
least IF these my brethren, We
have done It unto me-"
u was an hungered, and we gave
no meat" for 'inasmuch as We did
1t not to one of the least of vhese,
We did it not to me-"
SO it will do you even more good
to deny self that as many as pos
sible Of the starving may live than
1t VIII those lives you save.
