Those people who have tired of the drives for old clothes, goods and money for the war-ravaged countries of Europe now have an opportunity to aid in the relief of folks right here at home, hardly more than 75 or 80 miles from Goldsboro. They are dependents of those miners who lost their lives in the greatest industrial disaster in the history of North Carolina. Many toddling little children lost their fathers, their sole support; and aged mothers and fathers are bereft of stalwart sons who provided for them in old age. Between $30,000 and $40,000 is needed, and Mr. F.K. Borden, who is directing the relief here, hopes to raise $1,000 in Goldsboro. The need is very urgent and if there is a general response to the appeal, a check for that amount ought to go from here within the next 24 hours.
