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.

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.
