TH.AT — Few small towns in the state can boast of better hospital fa cilities than Clinton. The Hays* hospital, owned by Dr. S. C. Hays, was built in 1916 on East Carolina avenue, and opened as a community institution in 1917. Dur ing 1918 it was closed on account of the war and re-opcncd the follow’ing year. Following its destruction by fire in 1926, Dr. Hays did his hospital work in l.Aurens until June of 1927, when he purchased the J. W. Cope land, Jr., property on the corner of Hampton and Woodrow streets and established a new hi>spital. The plant at that time consisted of six private rooms, two wards for whites and twe for colored. In 1929 the hospital was remodeled and enlarge<l, its wooden design be ing converted into a very attractive brick veneer. Its facilities now con sist of nine private rooms, two wards for whites and two for colored,, and Farm Leaders Push Relief New Silk Mill Seek System of Sound Econom ies; Stone Believes Trend Is Definitely Upward.
