W * WHO IS WHO IN BABYLAND The .press of the country is broadcasting stories of mixfyg up babies born in hospitals. In fact there has bethi created a furore among mothers.where sev eral ait patients at the same hospital as to' whether they are having returned to them their own offspring. A' Cow-days since in an eastern city, a mother and daughter were patients at the same hospital. The babies .were being shown around among members of the family and when congratulations and happy ex pressions had ceased it developed that the members of the family were unable to discover which of the babies telonged to the mother or daughter. These and many othre ridiculous stories are being printed on similar occurrences in the- hospitals throughout the country all of which We believe to be elaborated upon ufid, no doubt, in a majority of the instances the rumors are without foundation. It fagbeyond question that the hospitals of this country are managed and directed in such a system atic manner as to make' it practically impossible for such occurrences to take place. With the records kept up-to-date in modernly managed hospitals, the mothers of this country need have no fegr of any such mixing up of their offsprings. Such stories are readable matter and nppeal to the ravenous appetite of the.sensation-seekers of Blander which furnishes thorn tffith food for the sustenance of their imaginary senses nnd gives to them a supply of gossip which is unlimited in its field of operation when oljpo com-,., menced to circulate. A sober thought and the proper consideration of the duty and obligation owed to the public by the hospital authorities should warrant everyone of Round mind possessed with reasonable fairness that , all r.uch reports are born of Injustice and without foundation. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS SHOW GAINS ' One of the brightest and most encouraging signs Cf prosperity for the year nearing a close is the large - fttrense in post office receipts over last year and the increase in bank deposits of the various banking insti tutions for the same period. A marked increase of the postal receipts to say nothing of tho money order business has been shown. The postal receipts is one of tho safest criterions to judge n. community in its march to progress and prosperity. It indicates not only an increase in cit izenship, but a growth of all commercial enterprises. This year will provo one of substantial gain on tho road returning to normalcy and with a reasonable crop next year, the period of depression will have passed. The banks are better prepared than ever to meet the demands of the commercial interests of tho com munity. Collections have been beyond anticipation and tho deposits have shown increases overy month during the year. It in a stable and firm condition in financial circles which is bound to result in better times and the quickening of the return to former period of all commercial lines and industries. <r . , THE GOLDEN CROSS MOVEMENT . Tho Methodists of the south have undertaken a movement which should be co-operated in to . tho fullest by everyone who is interested in the welfare of mankind and of those who are dependent and in- dlgncut. That church has organi«od a hospital plant costing over two million dollars. Asa Candler and hie family of Atlanta, have donated over a million dollars to the fund and the plant of the Wesley Me morial hospital is free for all who are unable Jo pay regardless of denomination, sect or creed. This, movement is sponsored by Southern Method ism and is under the direction of a general hospital t A special effort is being made during this h to raise a fund for the maintenance and sup- of this institution. ‘Anyone can join the organi zation. The fees are small; Juniors 26c; Student 50c; Adult $1.00; Active $5.00; .Support $10.00; Sustaining $26.00; Service „ $50.00; Comrade of the Golden Crpes $100.00; Life membership $600; Life Patron $1,000; Knight of the Golden Cross $10,000. The fees received will go to the hospitals to be used in furnishing free treatment for the sick poor. Every dollar contributed in this state will be used at the ;Weslcv Memorial Jioapital in Atlanta. If you have not contributed to the Golden Cross movement, you will make no mistake in doing ao. What we most need—but will we get it—is a tax measure just and equitable and one sufficient to create revenue for the liberal support of all depart ments of the state. *1*1L4.
