retary and Treasurer Hook, Mr. Estes,
Mr. -Rowland, Mr. Pope, Mr. Loyless,

Silas Floyd and C. T. Walker.
The daily report of work going on
and contributions being received wai
made by Mr. Hook.
C. T. Walker handed in *15.05, col
lected today. He called attention to
the fact that several negro families
In Hamburg are suffering. He said
that SO cases had come to his notice,
liclr.g thoroughly invesigated, and It
was found that they really needed
help.
Mr. Rowland stated that he had al
ready Informed Mr. Frank F. Flem
ing and Or. W. E. Mealing that if
help ,\as needed across the river
they might organize and perfect a
sub-station system, similar, to the one
now in force hers in the city, mate
formal application to the central re
lief station, and be given a reasonable
amount of supplies. Mr. Hook also
said that he had taken similar ac
tion In the matter.
At this juncture Mr. I.ovless sug
gested that the committee give Walk
er $250 with which to relieve the suf
fering. Inasmuch as he knew exactly
where to find those In destitute cir
cumstances.
Red Tape Unnecessary.
Mr. Pope made a motion to that ef
fect, and Mr. Howland said he would
like for record of the appropriation
to go through 'he proper channel*, so
that arce of the expenditure mlgnt
not be lost. Mr. Pope exclaimed
that In his opinion all that red tape”
was unnecessary, that the thing to do
now was relieve suffering Hl* mo
tion received a prompt second and
was adopted.
Walker here stated that he desired
If co,' ct what he was afraid was
,m erroneous Impression convey) d by
his report Friday, concerning the re
fusal of certain sub-stations in the
cltv to grant him supplies. He said
that his orders had only boon turn

As to Further Donations.
A letter was rend from Mayor Dun

as the most grlevlous suffering had
been relieved and that tie- relief fund
seemed now to be sufficiently large
to supply all the wants that might
be fotflnd.
Considerable discussion followed.
Mr. Rowland read a very exhaustive
report of the work done by the As

niture men, and offered an amend
ment, whereby the phraseology is
changed to read "certain inslallmcnl
furniture dealers." I’y way of ox
plaratinn, Mr. Rowland said that h
would like for Mr, Scott, a member of
the general relief committee, to cite
one instance of high pricing that had
come to his notice. He said tha;
a certain man In Augusta, giving his
name, lost all his furniture In the
Hood except one suite. This he took
hack to a furniture store on upper
Broad street, saying that he could
not pay for it. They accepted it,
and allowed him $5.00. The man
brought hack a suite of three pieces,
nought, ano'her suite, with bedding
added, for $75, and took it home.
Discussion was a* this point
brought hack to the question of re
spending to the mayor's query as to
whether or not donations should be
declined. Mr. Benson was about to
.submit a tubulated statement of con
tributions on hand to Chairman
Young when Mr. Pope interrupted,
suggesting that this was a matter of
minor Importance, which could he
given attention later, and that the
question of more urgent nature before
the committee was to decide whether
or not in I heir opinion the mayor
bhould be advised to decline further
contributions. Mr. Young aid he was
slmpli trving to get at the amount
of funds on h: ml, so the committee
would lie able to more accurately de
termine bow they stood.
Committee to Consult.
Mr Do. les;; objected to the word
ing "call a halt on donations." He
said in- thought the question should
be made to refer to outside dona
tions, and that there should ho no
Interference with the giving of as
sistance by \ugustu people. in this
opinion other members of the com
mittee concurred Ith Mr I,lyless.
Upon motion of Mr. Pope It war
voted that the mayor should be given
a definite gnsver Monday, and that
in the meanwhile a committee of two
from the general committee should
confer with th< mayor In person.
~ Loyless moved, alter some dls
cession as to the neeos of certain
destitute families In a vor> hind hit
section ot the city, that $1,250 he ap
propriat'd for the purchase ot 250
mittr - s and after a nggeslion had
been off' r< d it »»< decided to in
struct that all these be bought by one
man.
As to Public Employment.
At this point Mr. Loyless opened a
discussion by asking what the spe
cial committee bf live, consisting of
three ex-mayors and two other promi
nent citizens, appointed to advise and!
confer with council In regard to any j
matter of Importance that might arise;
a nd n-d the attention of that body, I
hi- done. It was filially learned that
the chairmanship of this committee
had never definitely determined arid;
that they had done nothing
Mr Loyless th*n stated that one
Of the things he had In mind when
making his Inquiry was whether or
not the committee had ever hoard

he hud affidavits In hand of numer
ous such instances. He said he saw
Mayor Dunbar before the matter
came up In open session, several days
ago, and that thn latter staled ettn
phatlcally If he could find out this
condition of affairs really existed he
would discharge every official he
found guilty ot discrimination. Mr
fyoylexs raid he thought It was part
of the committee's duty to see that
as many needs of families got. work
as were unemployed, so far as It lies
In their power

adopted providing for a conference
