The Union Hospital association will meet Monday evening in the offices of Dr. R. R. Berry. For some time plans have been on foot to hasten the building of the hospital here, and it is boned that somethinc definite mav result from the meeting Monday evening. For several years the movement to build such an institution here has been under way. Now and again new life seemed to come to the enterprise, but, so far, the progress has been slow. Certainly a city the size of Union needs such an institution. From what can be learned of institutions of like nature located in cities of about the same size as Union, they may be made self-supporting, and may even be made to produce a reasonable income upon the investment. It is believed that the present movement to further the hospital enterprise here will lead to the erection and equipment of a building suitable to the needs of the community. Let us hope that such may be the case, for such an institution is one of our , very greatest needs. But, aside from the needs to be met in the matter of the sick, there are many other reas- ' ons why we should have such an in- 1 stitution. It will be a bond that will help to unite people of all creeds and of no creed. It will show that our city is progressive, tl will advertise to the world our high estimate f some things not measured in dol- , lars. Going back to the chief reason for our having such an institution, it may be said that in this day of advancing civilization a community is falling far short of its obHgations to it* citizens' needs when there is no such institution. The sick, the wounded, must be given the best aid possible if we measure up to our obliga- , tipns. No matter whether the hospital be a "charity" institution or a i "pay" institution, provided it meets i the needs of the sick and the wounded. . In fact, the charity basis is no longer regarded as the best method for operating such institutions. Most of the successful ones are stock companies run upon a pure business basis, and ( made to earn a just return upon the roney invested. This does not shut ; <>ut the exercise of charity in cases vJhere the need is urgent. Lodges, churches, mills, communities or charitably disposed individuals may and 1 d.o take up cases of urgent need and s?nd them to the institution for the n'fcessary care, but they send along ' with the patient the money to pay for ] the treatment. There is nothing wrong in this. It is the best method of handling the matter. We hope the Union hospital, long talked of, patiently waited for, may soon be a fact. We see in Mr. (Jaults letter this week quite a lengthy discussion against the good roads bond issue. We allow our correspondents quite a good deal of latitude, that is why we have so many and such good correspondents. We do not, however, endorse the vjews of our correspondents. We, by no means, endorse Mr. (lault's view on the bond issue. We expect to vote for it, and will do so in the belief that it is one of the best moves this county has ever made, even if it does cost something. And it will cost something. There is no need of denying that. Everything worth while in the way of material advance costs money. We are paying more for .schools than we were a decade ago. Hut we have better schools. We pay more for lands now than we did ten years ago. But lands are worth more now than then. Yes, it will cost money, raise taxes, to vote the bond issue. For our part, wc .vill vote for the bond issue in spite of that fact. As to how the farmers and the mill people vote, that is for them to say. Certainly we have made no effort to hoodwink them. We do not care how they vote. We have had nothing to say heretofore for the reason that we elt all had been said, both pro and con, on this subject that could be said. If the people of Union county, having had time enough to think over this matter and to reach just conclusions, feel that they must vote against the l>ond iijsue, that is their own right, and will meet with no objection from this scribe. We expect to take a hand in the argument, if it seems 1. 7 Sprin; I And we are read> | needs in Spring App | \ Suits. Stetson Hats, I 1 anH "FliJCflo Rliir+O worth while to us. We will also answer whatever arguments the opponents of the movement may make, or own up when they get the better of it. In the mean time, we will, as formerly, open wide the columns of The Times, to opponent as well as supporter. It's a free country and we believe in open discussion. In concluding this article we wish to call to Mr. Gaul't attention this fact: Building a ailroad in North Carolina and build ng public highways in Union county are quite distinct propositions, even if one grant that the railroad bond issue was a mistake. Many of the farmers of Union county, to say nothing of other residents of the county, will never ride a mile on a railroad in North Carolina. But these dirt roads in Union county, the mud, the holes, the heavy grades, these are facts that come to face each and every citizen. If, however, the farmer, merchant, mule driver, automobile driver, and even the pedestrian, having faced the situation of mud, had roads, heavy going, and having so weighed the matter, unite in killing the good roads bond issue, nobody will hear any howl from the writer. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS. (Continued from page one) general chairman upon th ework not later than March 2.3rd." This resolution was duly seconded and adopted unanimously. Mr. Chas. D. Jones, of Lancaster county, speaking to the resolution, stated that, on account of enforced absence from his county, he might not be able to prosecute this work immediately, but that he would contribute $00.00 towards paying the expenses of one or more recruits. Mr. J. M. Johnson, of Marion county, stated thai he would allow on? of his men to go with full pay, or would pay the expenses of a recruit. Governor Manning stated that, while he would not be able himself to go, he expected to have two of his sons at the camp, and would assist financially to send another recruit. Such was the disposition of all the gentlemen attending the meeting, but iii order to save tidie it was finally agreed that each committeemen having employees under him would grant leave of absence with pay, or would contribute towards the expenses of at least one recruit to Fort Oglethorpe. General John D. Frost stated that he considered it quite probable that the authorities of the South Carolina Military Academy, at Charleston, would, if the details could be arranged agreeable with General Wood, sena the entire student body of the Citadel trv ( Vw. ~ i,..c taiujj aL run ogieinorpe lor their annual field practice and maneuvers. Governor Manning* and Adjutant-Genera! Moore coincided heartily with this suggestion, and volunteered to take the matter up over the telephone with the superintendent of the Citadel. Th chairman threfore appointed the following committee to carry out this suggestion: Governor Richard I. Manning, chairman, Adjutant-General W. W. Moore, General John D. Frost. Mr. D. D. McColl, of Marlboro county, offered the thanks and appreciation of the meeting to the general chairman, stating his entire sympathy with the work of the league, and pledging his support. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. R. Charlton Wright, Secretary.
