an acre to one acre and more for each family, with 800 bushelsof peas and beans, have been provided. These seeds have been distributed on theislands and to every applicant from the mainland; 1,000 bushels of Irish potatoseed, 400 bushels of which went to the mainland; 1,800 bushels of seed corn, 800bushels of this distributed on the mainland. Those provisions, together with arevival of the phosphate industries, the fish in the rivers and their boats in repair,have served to make the 30,000 vSea Islanders, whom we were asked to take chargeof nine months ago, a prosperous and self-heli^ing people. They know this andrealize that they can take care of themselves, and we cannot but regard any attemptat throwing them again upon the charities of the outside world as demoralizing,misleading and fatal to them, as a self-supporting and independent class of indus-trial people, and a matter which should concern the State whose wards they are.* ***** * Clara Barton.Charleston, S. C, June 24, 1894.
