Fact* and Figure* of
The Camden Hospital
The total receipt* from pay p*. *
tienU in the Camden hospital tdr
tha year mo wae Sam* ?
partly paid the^( ejipenaos to the i
amount of 12,006.66. The total from
*11 patients was f*M83,A0.
There vyer* fcM> free patients speud- i
in* 6,<117 days In the hospital; which,
at the very low averag* coat of '
*3.36 per day, equals *20,366,55. i
There was not sufficient profit
made on the pay patients, (there <
was no profit,) to evei\ pay a part 1
of the cost of the free patient*. The
free patients cost more than *3.26, J
the average cost of all patients. The i
hospital furnishes operating room expenses,
a great4 deal of medicines, i
some' delicacies and necessities to the I
free patient, that the pay patient
pays for. ,
There-will probably be a greater I
proportion of free work in the hospital
in 1931, so the hospital needs ]
more help than ever-* before. >The Burdell
Fund which has been donat)qg

Own Foodstuff Raised
In The Olden Days
CMrs. Julius JB. 'Byrd in Lancaster
News)
'When 1 was a girl and lived at
horde we, never hatrd anyone talk
fcbout hard times. The reason that
9Utfh a thin# was .^ver mentioned
was mainly b?cuu?? people in those
(lays did nut live beyond their means
and we all raised everything needed
for living in the way of foodstuffs*
Scarcely ever was anything purchased
to eat with the exception of coffee,
sugar and perhaps a Jittle cheese.
Nearly everybody raised hogs. At
that time a seventy-five pound hog
could be purchased for $1.50. Moat
vyas four and five cents per pound.
When 1 was a girl I never saw my
father buy a piece of meat, a pound
of lard, a sack of shipped coru or a
bale of hay. (My father was not the
only one to practice a live-at-home
program but the grout majority of
farmers did likewise.
Practically everyone milked two oi
three cows and sometimes more. Butter
was only fifteen cents per pound.
&eef was raised on the farm. For
fencing the men would go to the
woods and chop rail fencing instead
of using wire. Hogs and cows were
all kept together in the same pasture.
Cotton was seven and eight cents
per pound and sometimes lower.
Corn sold for fifty cents per bushel
and cotton seed for thirty cents per'
hundred. Cotton seed was used
mostly for fertilizers. We did not
know what sodu was at that time.
I hu\e cooked wash pots full of
peas and turnips together fpr days
uitd days for my father to feed his
hogs. "He would take mea. ground
from his corn and stir the cooked
feed and it was better thun the purchased
feed.
People in those days wore cotton
goods mostly but some woolen goods
were worn in the winter time. The
women would buy about a half ft
yard of silk to trim their wool
dresses. Everybody wore cotton
hosiery and stockings or socks could
be purchased for H) and 15 cents per
pair.
When we went to town, to church
or to make a visit wc went in vehicles
pulled by horses or mules. At
church services the house would be
full. We did not think more of what
wehvere riding or what we were wearing
than we did of God.
When my mother's wash day came I
she would go to. her smoke house to,
get a fifty gallon barrel of homemade
soap. Mother made her soap
of wasted pieces of meats and boiled
meatsTtmxed with ashe lye.
Today but very few peas are raised.
All the good land is used for coti
ton, but Mr. Boll Weevil eats up the
[cotton on bottom land and/J, believej
we would 'be better off if no cotton
were raised at all.
We should turn from our wicked
ways and God will heal our land.
Readers, please read the second
Chronicles, Chapter 7, Verse 14 and
see what God promises us.
As I have spokefl of how we
dressed when I was * K'rl 1 wish to
say that jwomen today aje ?not_iLOT;"
sidered well dressed iT they do not
wear $2.00 silk hose and they are
ashamed to be seen in coippany.
There are not many people today
who will go to church if they have
to go in a buggy or wagon. Let me
tell you, deabrenders, when we all
get back to living within our means
and raise our foodstuffs at home and
stop raising so much cotton, realizing
that all belongs to God we will
be botter off and not before.
