The growing Importance of the Southeastern section of the United State? as a pork-producing region is shown by an analysis of the live stock statistics of th# United States made by*the Southern Rail way Company . The estimates of tho Agricultural Department ^how a total of 65,410,000 hogs on farms and ranges in the United States on January 1, 1012, a decrease of 210, 000 as compared with January 1, , 1011. On January 1, 1912, the number of hogs In the nine South eastern States traversed bjr the1 lines of the Southern Railway with i the increaaes In each state, were as follows: Virginia, 880,000, an Increase of 26,000; North Carolina, 1,406,000, an increase of ?4,0000; South Carolina, 707,000, an Increase of 62,000; Oeorgls, 2,098,000, an increase of 226,000; Florida, 954, 000, an Increase of 87,000; Ala bama, 1.633,000, an increase of 114, 000; Mississippi, 1,677,000, an in : crease ofr 156,000; Kentucky, 1,724, 000, an increase of 98,000; ' and Tennessee, 1,674.000. an increasO of 76,000. The total number of hogs in the nino states on January ltd. this year, was 12,642,000, an In crease over January 1st, last year, of 887,000. I^arge as these figures are they do not measure the full progress of the Southeast as a hog-raising sec , tion, for, with the more extended 1 raising of pure-bred hogs, there is a corresponding' advance In the av erage quality and weight of South eastern hogs.

It to wth do epllrlt of contention that we bsg to >onestly differ with our co-laborer In her choice and election of a site for *he Camden lio*pltal. Id our humble opinion the High School property would be very undesirable for several re? sous. First, while the frontage on the park plight look very well, and the building make a fine show, the hospital proper would be crowded back Into a very undesirable part of the towta. It is too near the rail road ? the outgoing and Incoming trains would annoy a nervous pa tient, and wo Would have no right to complain. In other words we could not ask the railroad authori ties to muxsle their whistles. And then too, we are told that since the lauds have been cleared to the ri ver, that the western portion of the town has malaria ? though we do not know If this be true. And now let us consider the oonvalescent pa tients. It strikes us that It to not isolation they want. They want to be Interested, amused, di verted. Broad 8treet is too far away to attract them; that portion of Laurens Street to unfrequented, for even the hacks and carriages to and from the station seldom pass that way. Tbey would have nothing but the Park, and that would grow monotonous. No, let us build 6ur hospital in a popular residential locality, where the un fortunate inmates will not feel that they have been put away from ev erybody, and shunned as If they were In a pest house. Have "we an ideal place In view? We certainly have. A large, well drained, level lot, with fine fruit trees, grape arbors, and a splen did garden spot. Beneath the mag nificent oaks, and on the sunny ve randas the convalescent' patient would be interested, amused and diverted in watching the passersby ?ti one of the most popular prorne 'hades In the city ? a street on v/hlch is located one of our tour ist hotels and two of our churches. And on Sundays and week-daVs is always "something doing." A charming neighlorhood, and we know that some of the neighbors would welcome tho hospital. Gen tlemen of the committee, we ask you to consider the beautiful prop erty on Lyttleton Street, formerly the home of Mr. W. H. Zemp. As we said before this is not an unkind criticism of the well writ ten article in last week's Chronicle, but only an honest difference of opinion.
