HERE 5 SAD CASE
WHICH NEEDS /:
HELP

With the death last Saturday of
Mrs. Susan Rice, aged 65 years,
Wilson Rice, aged 73, was left to
care for a 35-year-old son who is a
cripple, deaf and dumb and imbecile.
The Rice home is six miles south Of
Hickory and the family moved there
two years ago from one OF the noun
tain counties.
The son is kept in a cage. He gets
about more like an animal than a
man, tears his clothes rom his body,
and is hard to handle. An attack cf
meningitis when he was year old
caused his condition. It is tragic
case.
Chas. E. Hefner, county welfare
officer, has made visits to the home
and tried to get the man into one of
5he asyiums, but has failed. He can
be entered at the home for feeble
minded near Kinston, but the appro-
priation for that institution has run
short and the authorities lack suffici-
ent funds. Mr.. Hefner was told that if
che mans friends would raise S1OO
to provide his expenses until the
legislature meets in January, the
Institution would take him at
once.
Those who want more details about
Rice should see Chief Lentz, City
Manager Ballew, DIR. z. M. Craig,
Miss Koch and others who have visit
I'd him. The amount needed should be
eaised at once and Rice, who is left
n charge of his old father. should
se taken to klnsten next week.
