THE HOSPITAL MOVEMENT. Special Committee Submits Report Another Meeting Next Monday Night. The meefinz. w-hich was announe for Tnsdy n]i2.t il1 lie lamhef V ('1nimelT r00ns tO hen)ifier 1i*e i pr thel to be slbmitted by the sp cial committee appointed for the pu pose on the question of the establis] ment of a hospital, was not largely a tended. The report of this commi tee, however, was submitted. and was decided to hold another ineetir on Monday night. September 23. the same place at S o'clock. In order that the people may be possession of the report of the speci committee on this subject, this r porn is herewih given in full. This is an important matter, seems to us, to this community, ar we regret that more of our people ai not taking interest in the matter. IN should think the recommendation the committee as to the formatio of a joint stoek empany is the prop( thing to do, and it would be well the several fraternal organizations i the city would also adopt the sugge! tions contained in the report, to mah tain wards for patients, who ai members of these several organiz tions and who may not be in finai cial'position to undergo the expew of hospital treatment.' The following is the report: Mr. Z. F. Wright, President of Chamber of Commere Your committee appointed to i vestigate.the subject of a hospital f< Newberry ask leave to submit the fo lowing report: 1. We are of the opinion that it important and highly desirable th, a hospital be erected in the Town Newberry: but we do not think th, the town is at present able te four and maintain a public hospital. 2. It is our estimate, based on ii formation received from various sou ces, that a hospital with capacity f< thirty (30) patients, and adequa for our present needs, could be eree ed at a cost ranging from $7,000 $10,000, and equipped at a cost ran ing from $1,000 to $3,000. This est mte includes heating outfit, wate works, lights, and electric bells. Tl cost of equipment can be reduced a minimum by the cooperation of o1 physicians. 3. The minimum cost of maintai ing and operating the hospital wou probably be in the neighborhood $2500 a year. But if the instituti< is managed in such a way as to cor mend it to our physicians and the patients, this cost will be largely m by the fees of private patients: a we are confident that the local churc es and fraternal organizations can1 induced to maintain wards for eha ity pat:ients. A hospital in sueces ful operation and enjoying the con: dence of the community ought so< to become virtually self-supportiri 4. We are of- the opinion that ought to be practicable to erect hospital by the formation of a joi: stock company for the purpose. V suggest that the capital stock 'shou be $15.000, divided into six hundr< (600) shares of thae par value of $25.1 each, and that the stock should1 distributed throughout the county widely as possible, so as to enlist tl largest possible interest. This sto should not be expected to pay di' dends in the niear future, but shou be subscribed out of a spirit of ben volence by those who are willing make contributions for the relief the suffering. 5. We recommend that a committ be appointed at once to serve as cc porators and take the necessary ste to organize a joint stock compan for the erection and maintenance a hiospital. with a capital stock of $1 000 divided into six hundred (60 shares of the par value of $25. each : and that all details as to ma a2.ment and maintenance await t adopion of' the by-laws of the co: pany. Respectfully submitted, . Geo. B. Cromer, Chairman committee. Sept. 10. 1907. Silver Street Warehouse Co. The Silver Street Warehouse Col pany was orga:lized on Wednestlh The capital stock of $5,000 was su scribed and the following direett were elected: H. 0. Long, B. M. Havird and D. Ham. The board elected Mr. H. 0. Lo as- president, secretary and treasur and B. M. Havird as vice-presidei The charter will be received in a f, days. In the meantime work has: ready been commenced and the S ver Street Warehouse Company w be in positi'on to handle a consideral amount of cotton.

Coburn's Greater Minstrels Wili >n Open Season at City Opera House ir Thursday September 26. et -The theatrical season at the Capital dtheatre was formerly opened last hnig'ht by the presentation of J. A. eCoburn 's Greater Winstrels, which is r-I the'ecompany succeeding to.the name sand fame of the great Barlow Min strels. And it might be added after nwitnessing their splendid perfor it mance last night that if anything, it Mr. 'Coburn has collected a trbupe of Sartists who are if anything, still bet ter in their presentation than was ld ever the great Barlo.w company.. With his sextet of fun makers dDan Holt, Billy Morris, Joe Dun 3leavy, Tommy Galvin, Billy Cummins be and Roy Peek, Mr. Coburn has a team as that would be hard to duplicate in any company, and should prove a . good mine to him during the season. From start to finish these "funny ldmen" had the audience on the wing 'with them and kept them convulsed to throug.hout. The theatre was packed to the doors for this first presentation and everyone after the curtain had ee rung down on the elosing number had r- something nice to say of the show. ps The numerous feature of the min .y, strelsy is not the only strong point oshown last night, however, for few iplays of any charaeter have ever been Sseen here which presented such an 3 bundaee of' high munsic. Several of nthe sog were of the most appealing he ('ha ract er, and went ight to the heart Eof the audience. The jokes offered were out of the ordinarxi-they were clean and new and as such came as a sweet refresh ing shower where so many chestnuts have grown .stale and dried being handed out from time to time. For the olio part of the perform t.. ance, the two strong men entitled ty. Jules and Marzon were par excellent, ib- doing stunts of strength and dexter >rs ity never seen here before. Every. one praised their work, and in fact L. was well pleased with every feature of the second part. ng Mr. Coburn is a manager who un er, derstand his business and if he keep at. his company up to its present high 'standard will keep right in the front al- of the procession. il- Coburns minstrels will .appear ai ill the Newberry opera house, Thursday >1e ig.ht, September 26.
