ragged garments sent, turn ticking into mattress covers, homespun into
garments.


DETAIL OF THE WORK.

There is now being served out, once a week, the following rations, which
is all that her stock of stores allows: To a family of seven persons
for one week, one peck of hominy, one pound of pork. To those who work
for the community, double the above. To sick people, a small portion of
tea or coffee, sugar and bread. She would gladly double or quadruple
this allowance, but she has not the material.

Thus it stands. There are 30,000 American citizens who must be almost
entirely supported by charity until they get a spring crop in April or
May. Unless they are furnished with food they will starve, without
bedding they will die from exposure; without medicines, of fever.
Everything not perishable is needed, especially money to buy lumber,
nails, bricks and hardware to rebuild the houses, cast-off and warm
clothing, cooking utensils, pans, pots, spoons, etc. Most of the express
companies send free all articles directed to:

WHITE SUFFERERS.

In response to further inquiries Admiral Beardslee furnishes us the
following:

There is a very small population of whites living on the Sea Islands,
and of them the greater number are storekeepers, supplying the <DW64>s
and taking mortgages on their growing crops, principally the cotton. As
nearly all of the crops, including the cotton, which was nearly ready
for picking, were ruined, these storekeepers, in addition to great
direct loss by the flood, which swept away their storehouses, have lost
largely by unrecoverable debts, thus they are not able to do much toward
the relief of the sufferers. * * * Among the sufferers there are a few
