U AS TO THE HOSPITAL. g One nl' tin* committee asked ihe Ob- b server t > make litis announcement: w The Newberry hospital was still born ri on Friday in I be bands of twenty- " nine praelicing physicians ??!' New- )'< berry county. < )bserver. " We iciel 111;it a member of ibe i ' ( Mliuii'i (i-c, .in 1..11 i/"'l 1?\ (lie eil i/.etis ' j lll'M'l . . Ig l<. >.'? IW'e Ml'l.-flip! :ol|> to ill" capital stock lor I lie purpose of ,t< building' a hospital in Newberry, |>i should a>k I lie announcement of any ;n such sentiment as contained in Ihe |) above paragraph. Indeed we arc \\ pained that any member of litis corn miltee should even think such 1 sentiment. n li any member of the committee is le not even interested in I lie hospital w inovmeiil, lie should at least be will- 01 ing lo I 1 it lie built. In fa? t, it lv would have been better for him to li have resigned from the committee, or in not have accepted I he commission if from the citizens l ? present 1 his im- ti portanl question lo the people of this county. This member of I lie commit lee cannot he enthusiastic or even interest- ''' ed in Ihe building of Ihe hospital, or if he is, he lias a very poor way of ' showing his interest. Certainly the in members of this eommiltee are intelli- '(> gent citizens, ami we believe inter- n ested in the welfare of this eommunity, and being intelligent, they must realize that such statements will not 1 help the cause, which they are presumed lo lead. co As a matter of fact, we do not be- " lieve thai it is exactly the right thing for the physicians to take the lead in raising Ihe inoney for the erection of 1 a hospital iu this community. In ' 11 this age of commercialism and selfishness, there are many people. who would he willi 11 v to ascribe sinister and selfish motives 1 ? any physician, who was very active in securing money for the erection of tihe hospital, for the reason that there are those who believe that the building of a hospital ^' in Newberry would mean the financial . 1 inteersl of ihe physicians, while on ^ the other hand, as we understand the movement, it is not for the financial *' benefit of anyone, ami it has repeat- ^ edly been slated that those who put their money in it, need not expect fin ancil remuneration from the invest- ^ inenl. Neither would it be to th? 1 financial interest of the physicians.! 1 In oilier words, it is purely a humanitarian proposition, and if built, . . I ! 11 would lie a monument |o the I rater-! nal spirit of this community and a 1 blessing to -ut tering humanity. Wt* J j can sea reel v conceive a more laudable ; . . 11 purpose to envrage the attention ??I the people of any community than an j el'i'o; ! ! 'nild a ii spilal. ?M* ronr.-e we >!io:i!.l !iav. :'itil Mo doubt will j have tlie hearty co-operation and j moral a- well a financial support of j all of the physicians in tins county. | . but we do not think that the burden 11 of raising the inoney to build it should 1,1 be shifted from the eommiltee of eilizens, who assume to undertake the work, lo ihe shoulders of the twenty- 1,1 nine physicians, and then per chance if there is not a meeting of the Connty Medical Association, it certainly. 11 as we see it, does not come wiMi good grace for a member of tne committee ' to state thai "the Newberry hospital was st<ill born in the hands of twen- *> ty-nine practicing physicians of Newberry county." The hospital can be built, and should he huilt. lull it will not lie ^ built if those who are leading the ' movemeni, feel and request publica- ' , . Ml turn of such sentiments as these. 111 IMPORTANT TROLLEY MEETING | At. a recent meeting, a committee m of three was appointed to make cer- t'; tain investigations in the matter of a trolley line from North Augusta, to j t.) F#d:.*efield and on north. That coin- s:. ... , . . nnttee ptlornis me that 11 is reauy to ti make its report which will contain in 3 ? ? formation of great importance. V Therefore, I hereby appoint Satur-jk day. October L'dth, at eleven o'clock a. m., for the citizens ot' iheji, town of lalgclieM and those along ' n Ihe proposed route to meet in the, ; court house to hear the report of (lie's committee and lake action on same I e ns to them may seem best. v I>. E. Nicholson, c Chairman. p We find Ihe above printed in Ihe w Edgefield New. of last week. This is h the committee :hat was appointed at e the wool in* held in Edgefield some week's avo M'hen Newberry was rep- ii csuited ami we take il for granted ? liat New berry is expected to be rep- ii esenteil at this meeting also, and o hat liiis is notice to them to be pros- 01 lit. Tt calls for "the citizens of the si own of Edgefield and those along tihe lo imposed route." After leaving st Mgolleld and before getting lo Kdge- 0( eld there were several proposed $.' miles and one of those is from Ail- a! listu via Kdgelield, Saluda to New- tl err\ and (hence to Whilmire.

Ansel proposes i i recommend and increase in the vy for the stale taxes >o as lo be j d of I lie necessity for borrowing j oney eaeli year, and to put the state j i a cash basis. It is figured out that i increase of even one-half of one ill would realize an income of $2.'M,10. This is on the basis in lihe last ! vsessment and Ihe supposed increase i the assessment. 11 is always very isy to work this proposition out on iper, but the lax history of Ihisj ate for Ihe last eighteen years will low that as (lie taxable values in- _ ease, the legislature has always ' t'pt up witih it in the increase of the |j vy, and in fact, has exceeded the *te <?f assessment and now with tho p ixahlc properly of $250,01)0,000, (lie j vv is I 1 -2 mills, while when il was *S uly $110,000.0000. the levy was \ .> ills, and the income then was sufI'ient to meet expenses, while now a C 1-2 mill levy shows up a deficit of. ore than $100,000. As a matter of j V id. if our assessments were in ac-! irdance with Ihe re piiretnen's of ' ie constit ut ior., we would have ovi ^ 100,000.000 oi' taxable properly, b it | ie ;|il? have a'li'.:;; r.veh.Vt {'ie A ;,i linieii lli.il iV'v i s ?

Of course there are two or three I ems, which will account for much I f the increase.
