FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1916.
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

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.
