The object of the invi tation to members of city council and the others to be at this meeting Fri day night ia to ha^e them consider with the committee the advisability of organizing a local associated char ities and other mattera of like nature. The matter of a community Christ ians tree, of requesting city council t'o push the paving propaganda, of aaking the county delegation to the legislature to consider legislation looking to the voting of honda for good roads- all in order that employ ment might be afforded for farm hands and others who have thrown out of work-will be considered. With reference to this matter, Gen. M. Lt, Bonham yesterday addressed the following communication to The In telligencer: "The work of the Belgium Relief Committee, under the appointment of the chamber of commerce, must corn ai ;d itself to the people of Anderson. ... the twenty yeara of my realdence In Anderson I have seen and experi enced so much ot the generous, Chris tian spirit, of the people of this etty, and county, I cannot doubt that there will be a hearty response to the ap peal for aid for the Buffering Belgians. Thc destitution and needs of these unfortunate men, women and child ren beggar:, description. We may think times are hard with us right now, bul the slightest acquaintance with conditions in Belgium will make us realize bow infinitely better off are we than they. "Tim current number* of Literary Digest contains a statement of the part which Holland la taking in the humanitarian wpek, of relief for the Belgland. It is estimated that not less than rover, hundred' thousand refu gees from Belgium, have found an asylum - ia Holland. Tho latter ia a small,,country; probably with not more than six millions of inhabitants. Nevertheless, they have given shel ter, food snd clothing to this army of their unfortunate neighbors. I do not recall a greatei exhibition of Chris tian charity and benevolence. There are other hundred's of thousands of these poor people,, left in devastated Belgium. Let tu help them out of our abundance. "The committee will report at a public meeting at the chamber 'of commerce office Friday night,' the 18th; and then send off tho funds. There T. I ?CG?

It would be well at this meeting for the city, the churches and the cltiscns at large to organise for the relief of any who may need aid here at home.
