? ??? i LINCOLN
COUNTY COLORBD
HOSPITAL, TENN., FOUNDED
^ BY MEHARRY GRADUATE
Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 19th?A
success story, dealing with a phy t
sician graduate of Meharry Med t
ifcal college in this city, now prac 1
ticing in Lincoln County, Tenn. s
was produced today as typical of
many instances in which the grad o
uates of the largest Grade "A" e
medical school-for Negroes e*- v
clusively in the United States, by t
President Edward L. Turner of e
that institution. ? 1
The story deals with Dr. P.- v
graduate "from Meharry Tn 1932 ?
who, a year later, landed in Fay- n
W etteville from a bus with his di- v
ploma, $1 in cash, a bottle of pa"
surgical gauze and a pair of sera- a
sors.
Today Dr,"D. , the only Ne- ?
gro practitioner in Lincoln coun' ^
ty with its population of some i
28,000, including ebout 6,000 Ne- I
groes, has-an established hospital 1!
known as "Lincoln County Color- 1
Hnonifiil " /tVinnch ah a matter
-- of - fact it has no official connec^
tion with either county or muni* 1
clpal governments); haB equipped *
his own offices with X-ray and 1
fluoroacope, land is providing a
diagnostic service hitherto no^ ?
available to Negroes in the coun- 1
ty. ts '
When Dr, D.??reached Fay..
etteville he found that there were 1
no hospital facilities available foi <
Negro pay patients, nor was there
another Negro physician in th<
area. He first established contact ^
with local ministers and through 1
^ them offered his cooperation t o
P the local white physicians in car- =
ing for their Negro patients..
Establishing this connection, 5
within four years he rad Woir the
respect Of hia colleagues and the 1
confidence of his patients to such ]
art extent that tie "was?able to branch
out on his own with the
small amount of money he hat' '
managed to save. -?
JJne of his first steps was tr
remedy the lack of hospital facili
~ 7ties"for ^Negro pay patients, and -through
connections shrewdly es ?
tablished with local politicfd 'lead-'
ers ard with whites~of means^and ~
?- influence, he was ablfe^to iBecurt^
an old frame hopse, t6 which" KF (
attached a smaller frame struc- {
ture moved from a nearby site
By "playing the game" he has <
mflnngpfl to maintain?the?confidence
and respect of the entire j
? community and, among othe
things, has been able to induce ,
the county officials-to approve al f
lotments of Tunds to meet sma!' ,
/operating deficits of the hospital |
and to enlist the cooperation o'
the white community, the ladie: ,
>f which are continually mnking V
contributions of linen, food and
#the like" to his institution. ,
Meharry is now engaging in r
campaign to increase its endow- j
met*t by $6,000,000, toward which
the General-Education Board of \
New York is making grants a?
mounting to $3,700,000. ,

February -2 was held the second t
quarterly_ conference at the Mill s
Hrafich AME ,churc^, with the t
itev. a. f. opears as* presiding ei- ?
der and the Rev. J&B. Lewis as
pastor. The quarterly conference i
waa very successful in all of its
-undertakings.?TBe1 Rev.?nr.?r~ t
Spears preached a very tou<jhinp r
and inspiring sermon. His _dis- ^
course was taken from'the Book t
of Isaiah 6; 1-8.. The,.text read thus:
In the year that King Uz- jziah
died I saw also the Lord sit- ^
ting upon a throrfe, high and lift <
ed up". In this discourse he told "T
how Isaiah told that he had not n
know the Lord because he had
worshiped the king, King Uzziah c
untrl after Uzziah died. He show
ed that God had to take King Uz- x
1 ziah away from this earth in dr- j
der that Isaiah might be saved
Then he made a contrast showinf a
how people of today are lookinp t
up to earthly gods; as Isaiah ha<* t
done; whether they be men, cars
beauty, learning or other earthly r
things. That sometimes God bu t
to take away our health, our hus?r
bands,- our mothers* our father* '
our sisters, our^prothers, our child <j
ren or our accumulated wealth m g
i order for us to see Him and be ^
saved. s
