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.

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. W'j I'i

without much regard to platform

The legislature should pass a law _
rbidding escapes from Ihe peniten
irv or chaingangs. There is ovinllv
no such law at present and it
difficult to get people to serve out

ir the next council lo have Ihe lion-j
of ibi- great work for our town.
TO INCREASE TAXES.
We notice that (lov. 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 |

Of course there are two or three I
ems, which will account for much I
f the increase. The hospital for tii? !
isane now takes $200,000 instead
I* $7"),000, and we are giving $250.)0
to tihe confederate veterans in- I
