MEMPF.R OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the u<e for republication of news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local news published therein SATURDAY. AI'IilL 29, 1922. Mr. C. T. Chalk, in the article which he sent The Times yesterday in opposition to the hospital bond issue, to our mind, was unfair to some of those concerned. We are not questioning his right to oppose the bond issue, if he feels it to be his duty so to do. Rut when he says: "Our valuable physicians have erected and equipped the hospital and fell down on the job, so they claim." As a matter of fact, the financing of the hospital has not been done by the physicians. A num1 er of the physicians did contribute to the enterprise when it was planned to make it an eleemosenary institution, and practically every one of them took a subscription in stock when it was made an incorporated concern. Rut in the process of building it developed that much more money was necessary 'o complete the institution than was at first thought, so the money, in the form of loans to the institution was advanced upon the en uorsemeni 01 a iew 111111 viuuais; not oven physicians, to enable the work to go on to completion. In justice to the directors it must he said that many of the subscriptions to- stock were never paid. Moreover, the high prices brought about higher cost of construction than could have been dreamed of. Hut the building of the hospital here has proven to be a very helpful thing to the community. True, it costs something to go there. Hospitals everywhere cost much money to operate. They are at heavy expense, no matter whether there be few or many patints. But it would be folly to say that Union does not need such an institution. From all we can learn thej msuuiiion is l'cauy not targe enougn to accommodate the needs. That, as we understand it, is why the bond issue was set at $75,000; not $50,000. The $25,000 was to be used in making extensions. Mr. Chalk, it seems to i.s, is again not quite fair when he says: "Men, women, get on your war clothes and let's show Col. Duncan we have backbone enough to use our best efforts to defeat the bond issue." Why Col. Duncan and not the representatives as well? And what is wrong with the passage of a bill calling for vote upon the question of issuing bonds for the purchase of the hospital? All this is said not in opposition] to Mr. Chalk's views, but against what seems to us an injustice to the physicians, Col. Duncan, the trustees and the individuals who have backed up the financing of the institution. We 1 clieve the bond issue will be snowed under, five to one. We feel so sure of this that wv are not even interested in the matter, pro r.or con. But we believe that when the issue fails of carrying, the creditors, upon the advice of the endorsers, should put the hospital upon the block and sell it to the highest bidder. ^Those for the i they do seldom do anything good. ?

Historical Data of Muscle Shoals Florence, Ala., April 27.?From 1&1U till about 1870 the shoals on the Tennessee river here were known as "mussel Shoals," according to maps of original survey and historical data < f original and authentic character possessed by John B. Weakley, Birmingham lawyer and capitalist and former resident of this community. Mr. Weakley's parents and grand parents resided here and handed down to him a wealth of historical information, which he has displayed to set at rest a controversy that has arisen over the original spelling of "Muscle Shoals." This data, according to Mr. Weakley, shows that the Cypress Land company purchased the land about Muscle Shoals from the government March 13, 181)18, and the lirst white settlements were recorded that year, followed by an influx of settlers the next year. At that time, the survey showed the shoaly section of the river as "Mussel Shoals," the name being given the rapids by reason of the great quantities of the edible bivalve, mussels, found in and along the stream, these records appear to indi v.aic. "I have often heard my grandparents tell of mussels being hauled out by the wagon loads," declared Mr. Weakley. "This was the same mussel that was once so abundant on the Mississippi river and from the shell of which in earlier days many 'pearl' huttons were made." Mr. Weakley accounts for the partial disappearance of the mussel from the stream as a result of floods and the encroachments of civilization. | When the government undertook to complete the Muscle Shoals canal about 187<>, the data in Mr. Weakley's possession shows, engineers changed the name from "Mussel" to "Muscle" on government records and it has so stood. This was not by design, but by accident, in Mr. Weakley's opinion. Mr. Weakley possesses a map which I he said was made 1(10 years ngj. This shows the spelling "Mussel." Several copies of this map are matters of record in the community, Mr. Weakley said. Government records, insofar as they are available, show the spelling "Muscle Shoals." Since Muscle Shoals became a national issue, discussion of the name has created numerous reports. Frogs and toads will eat nothing that is not alive. / / / / / Youc I Citizen; R. P.

Rice. Pres. Skeleton of Huge Animal Found Buenos Aires, April 28.?In the midst of the popular interest in the report that some monster of prehistoric species has been seen alive in Patagonia, workmen near the town of Las Rosas in the northern province of Santa Fe have accidentally excavated fossilized parts of the skeleton of what was evidently a pleistocene mammoth. The newspapers publish a photograph of a section of a tusk three feet and one inch long and five inches in diameter at its thickest point. The bone* are being brought to the Museum of Natural History at La Plata where there are many fine skeletons of animals of the geological epochs found in Argentina.
