KNEW GOD J HER TO T CHILDLIKE FAITH? OF MOTH ER OF ?>MILY IN DIS TRt> ' TATED BY A 4 TOR CLOTHING ASKED FOR SUFFERING Some Families in Poverty Need Food, Some Nourishment For Sick But AU Need Cloth ing. "I knew God has sent yo? here." It was with Giese- words that the mother of a family In distress, who tho day before Christmas Eve had di vided between them tiie last morsel of food in the homo, greeted a Chris tian woman of this city when she en tered the home of poverty last Thurs day with nourishment for the sick and hungry, clothing for the- cold and rag ged and a few delicacies for those of the family who lie wasting away of disease. In telling yesterday of the simple faith of this poor woman and her ear nest conviction that God had sent her to that house of deso?a .ion, this Christian lady spoke feelingly of the happiness which pervaded other pov erty stricken homes when some little necessity, like that of food, clothing or fuel, was carried there as a result of contributions made to this cause through The Intelligencer. But this happiness can not last long, she stat ed, for the relief given these people is only temporary and already some of them are facing actual want again. Need Old Clothing. With the exception of one family, the six or seven reported In distress several days ago have food enough to la Kt them for a lew days longer. But practically every family mentioned some days ago cs being in distress is in need of clothing. The major portion of the money turned over to Thc intelligencer for this work was expended for fuel and food for tho poor families. As these wants have been supplied, the good women who aro looking after the com fort of the people are now turning their attention to clothing those-who aro without sufficient covering for their bodies. The cast off clothing of men, women and children of the city will bo glady received by the commit tee, and contributions of that naturo may be left at Tho Intelligencer office, nothing Var These. There ls one . family of six. where food ls needed; immediately. One member of the family, a girl, is ex tremely low with pellagra, while a ?ocond member of tho family ls also ill.

LoveReunited Young Bridegroom Who Wea Jailed Monday Waa Freed Yesterday. Heads that wear crowns are not the only ones that lay uneasy through out Monday night, it tho word of a young bridegroom of less tban 24 hours and that of a father-in-law whose wrath bad caused the husband of his daughter to languish in jail all night is to be taken at its face value*. Ere the murky day was 10 hours old yesterday, A. T. Th om a son. esteem ed resident of the Anderson Cotton Mills village and an employee of the Brogon Mills,, and the man who had had young Anderson Snearm?n put in Jail as a result of ?Uer eloping with the former's i -old daugh ter Monday, came uj to./n and went to talk things oMjr with his son-in law, who had spent the night in Jail. After a long talk about matters, the father-in-law decided that he would have the warrant against his son-in law, which charged him with false swearing as to the bride's age, with drawn. The father-in-law then went before the magistrate and ' paid the costs of thc action, after which the bridegroom was allowed to return to his love. The father of the young bride testi fied that he had not spent a peaceful night, and that the bridegroom d/1 not rest calmly ls attested by officials of the Jail. From the former's con versation, one would gather that the young bride made_thlneB lively about thc home Monday night. Far into the night lt is reported, tho mother-in law, who had been much perturbed over her daughter's clopinent, gave In and immediately began to beseech the father to have mercy upon the young husband ot their young daughter r.sd i get him cut oPJail. i FOOTBALL RULES ARE UNCHANGED In All Probability Same Rules Will Be Used Aa m 1914.

Shortly after 6 o'clock, as he was driving over a long, Bteep hill near1 Sandy Springs the mules stalled. It was while Mr. Camp bell was endeavoring to get started agsln that a wind storm swept down on the wagon. The force of the wind caused the heavily 'loaded wagon to slide off the middle of the road toward the ditch on the slide. As the wagon turned into the the ditch Mr. Campbell waa hurled vio lently to the ground, his shoulder striking first and being painfully but not seriously injured. No sooner had Mr. Campbell struck the ground than he leaped up and cut the carnees from the mules, in order that they might be freed from the wreck. Tho mules got out of the tangle without sustaining injurier, of any consequence. Mr. Campbell carried his five mules to a nearby farm house where he placed them in a stable for the day. He then went to the raliway sta tion and came back to Anderson on one of the early morning trains, for the purpose qf making arrangements for getting tbe wagon and other ma terial out of the ditch yesterday af ternoon.
