A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. (By G. D. Ross.) . Winder, Get. 27. 1919. J. L. Saul says that every sani tarium in Atlanta is a paying in vestment and the stock is not for sale at $1.50. Why not organize a stock company and build a hospi tal at Winder that will prove a paying investment and at the same time supply a long-felt need? Every community of two or three thousand people is entitled to a hospital of some sort. A re constructed private residence would he better than no hospital at all. This community is able to afford the funds for the building of an ideal hospital. Even if the hospital were not caring for and curing a single member of the community the institution would be more than worth while as an institution in which physicians could acquire experience so that they might be better able to meet emergencies as they arise. Last week T called attention to two urgent cases of acute appen dicitis where the surgeon arrived in the nick of time. Any citizen who wdll look back over the past year and recall the cases that have come under his observation must concede that Winder and Barrow- County are in great need of a sanitarium. Winder is becoming a manufacturing center. (Jins and saw-mills are being run in the other towns and outlying dis tricts of the county, and where people work around machinery accidents will happen. Local doc tors cannot always be found in their offices,for the greater part of the time they afe out in attend ance upon the sick in the outlying districts, and aside from improper attention in other ways the maim ed and bleeding are compelled to await the return of a physician. That there is a good hospital twenty-five miles away is beside the question. The transportation may be bad, slow and uncertain. Even if the transportation were good and prompt the needs of the patient are urgent and he or she must have skilled operative at tention immediately or die. How are the doctors in a community to acquire that necessary skill unless they have access to a hospital? Let us think first of the build ing funds. There is only one scheme by which money can be raised, and that is to go with a 1 BAN ON CERTAIN CANNED GOODS FOLLOWS DEATH OF FIVE FROM POISONING. Detroit, Oct. 25. —Following the investigation of the death of five persons believed to have been poi soned at a dinner party a week ago today, Dr. Francis M. Duf •field, president of the department of health, announced tonight he would on Monday order all gro cers in the city to discontinue tem porarily the sale of certain canned foodstuffs. The victims are believed by de partment of health officials to have been poisoned by eating ripe olives at the home of Murray W. Sales in tie fashionable Grosse Point suburb. Samples of the olives have been sent to the University of Michigan for analysis. Meanti nt it is planned to prevent the sale of si nilar preserved foods.

The building funds must be raised up on a business basis and the entire community must take interest in tlie enterprise. The minute that a beginning is made to mix business and charity, financing and philan thropy, just that minute the whole enterprise heads toward disaster. It has been suggested to me that subscribers should donate the funds. To whom shall they do nate? There will be plenty of loom for charity and philanthropy after a hospital has once been establish ed at Winder. The big-hearted will still have their opportunity to donate funds to the poor and afflicted, and the Home Missionary Societies will be provided with more convenient quarters in which to display their charity.

Washington, October 26.—Sena tor Miles Poindexter, of Washing ton, in a statement today to the people of the United States, an nounced his candidacy for the re publican nomination for president and presented a platform of poli cies and principles which he will advocate in his campaign. The Washington senator in his statement of policies denounces threats of labor leaders to tie up the railroads as “government by terror for a special class,” and de clares that the government must be made supreme to both capital and labor, through insisting that the just claims of labor should be recoznized.

Winder is the logical point, not only for a small hospi tal, but for a sanitarium of large proportions. The institution would have a vast territory to draw from —Barrow, Jackson, Walton, Gwin nett —and the first building should he erected with a view to addi tions. So far 1 have mot with a grati fying unity of spirit in this mat ter, and, while 1 have had the time to approach only a very small number of citizens, I do not be lieve it is going to be a hard task to raise the building fund of $30,- 000. The list of subscribers so far obtained is as follows: with the vested rights of the la borer to his wages.

LINCOLN TO LABOR “I was born and have ever re mained in the most human walks of life. 1 have no wealthy popular relations or friends to recommend me.” “1 am not ashemed to confess that twenty-five years ago I was a hired laborer mauling rails at work or a flatboat—just what might happen to any poor man’s son.” “Labor is prior to and indepen dent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration. ” “Capital lias its rights which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is and probably always will he a relation between labor and capital producing mutual bene fits.” “The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should he the one uniting ‘suoijbu ]|i> jo 3|doad iffus.ioM ||b and tongues, and kindreds.
