Yesterday the voters of the city of
Thomasville formally elected to
spend fifty thousand dollars for
school purposes. According to aa
arrangement made by the Board of
Education, the people have also
settled that the new school is to be
placed on Mallette Heights.
The- majority in favor of bonds
was overwhelming. Out of three
hundred and sixty votes cast, only
twenty-five were against bonds.
This is the largest percentage of
votes for any one cause that Thom-
asvllle has ever known. There were
twelve registered against, out of two
hundred and forty—Iclit voting at the
City Hall, and thirteen against, out
of one hundred and twelve, voting
at the Court House. Only thirty
of the entire list failed to vote, and
twenty or more of those were
known to be out of town.
The Site on the Heights.
There was never any doubt yes
terday but that Malletts Heights
would be the site selected by the
people. From the opening of the
polls at eight o'clock, until the close,
things were practically one way.
The vote was almost three to one
la favor of the vacant property, two
hundred eightyflve for, and one hun
dred and nine against Mallette
Heights. Three votes were cast for
Fletchervllle.
At hoth precincts the Heights won
by a large majority.
Many Worked For the Issue.
The polls yesterday afternoon
■were the scene of unusual activity.
Several gentlemen of the city gave
the use of their autos during
afternoon, and went out
brought In those who were unable
to get there.
Messrs. Jarrell, Watt and Robin
son were especially active in this
regard and there were others who
assisted them In getting out the
vote. The success of their work
can be easily seen, when It is noted
that only thirty were not voting,
out of practically four hundred.
The vote for bonds was declared
twenty minutes after the polls had
closed, and the returns sealed and
place in the care of the City Clerk.
That vote was declared today by the
managers and consolidate at twelve
o’clock, as the law provides.
The site election was not settled
until six o’clock, the committee,

Executive Committee's Report.
The nurses have had a busy year,
as Is evidenced by the Increased
number of patients over last year.
Our receipts have been about two
hundred ($200.00) dollars less than
last year, which is due to the large
amount of free work we have done
this year.
This year we have treated aixty
(60) free patients or about one-
third of our total number of pa
tients, whereas last year we'itreated
thirty-one (31) free patients, or
about one-fifth of the total num
ber of patients. But we arO happy
in being able to say that wi have
paid all our bills and havain small
balance to start the new year with.
We owe a great deal to our gen
erous winter residents, who have so
freely contributed of their means
toward improvements, on the plant
and have taken such great 'interest
in It. ;
We have just been authorized by
one who has done so much for us,
to engage another graduate nurse
at his expense, and we hay« taken
steps to get her from the same wor
thy Institution that the breesent
worthy nurses cams from. This will
lighten the work on the : present
force.
A start has been made on the new
Operating Pavilion, a sift of our
never-failing friends, and it. will be
modern in every respect.
An elevator will be here hi a few
days, which, when Installejl, will
greatly .facilitate' the transferring
of patients from one floor to the
other.
The nurses are very grateful for
the many expressions of apprecia
tion from old patients and will al
ways be glad to receive visits from
them.
Is it not strange that with all
this good work, there should still
be kickers? We have Just heard ot
a "High Kicker,” from Pavo, -who
Bald he was going to see his County
Commissioner, Mr. Adams, and find
out why the County paid the Hos
pital $600.00 a year.
Not so much to gratfy the "Kick
er,’’ as to save Mr. Adams annoy-
29.01 janes, we having the information at
47.14 I hand for our annual report, here Is
1,200.001 what the county pays the Hospital
12.50 I $600.00 a year for:
110.30 1 AA’e have treated FREE of charge
| sixty (60) patients, and at wha'
$4,822.16 they were able to pay. twenty-four
(24) more patients: which, figured
at our regular rates amounts to
Every patient from
Thomasville is a County patient, as
he pays his taxes as well as "Kick
er.” The city pays $600.00 and the
County $600.00, or a total of $1,200
annually. Hence the City and Coun
ty are indebted to the poor Hospi
tal to the amount of $450.00 -for
the past year.
Mr. "Kicker,” please don’t trou
ble Mr. Adams now, as you have all
the facts before you.

WOMAN’S UNUSUAL REQUEST
TURNED DOWN BY HOARD OF

New York, March 13.—Although
tne plea of Mrs. Katherine Edgell, a
Brooklyn High School teacher, for a
year’s leave of absence without pay,
to be^r and rear a child, was flatly
denied by the Board of Education
last night, sl e believes that she has
started a campaign for honesty &nd
ndor which eventually will re
ceive recognition by school authori
ties

the gainer by the Board’s decision,
for she has filed with physicians a
certificate as to her health, which
entitles h«r to a leave with ninety
days pay, besides two months vaca
