It ■rcms to bp generally recognised that the problem of caring for AuguHta’e destitute people this winter Is the larg est. by far, that this city lias ever faced. There Is no denying the fact that a great many people arc out of vwAk and men who. In normal times, earned from $2.50 to sf> per day are walking the streets without work and their families are suffering from lack of food and prop er clothing. Augusta has a great many charitable organizations which will do much to al leviate distress. There is the Asso ciated Charities, the Board of Charities, the Salvation Army and others, but the problem now confronting Augusta seems to be larger than these organizations can handle,—at least this is the opin ion of more than one prominent citizen and tax payer. The fact that all «>f Augusta's charities are not operated from a central place, and one institu tion dues a t kfiot* what the ot*** rs *irt doing, often causes one family to be extremely well provided for, while an other may he missed by all of them and go on suffeilng. There is a lack of system about dis pensing charily that every one recog nizes so one gent t man states, and at the sAine time he does not wish to re flect In the slightest on any of the or ganizations named «»r any of the other numerous organizations not name.l Every one recognizes that the charit able organizations are doing their ut most. but the problem Is too large.
