This hospital is something new in this section, and in the way that it is so modem and so com- community so completely rural, community so completel yrural, it is an innovation in hospital work and in rural practices in this part of the South. But it is a magnificent project, and one that will be a factor for a great accomplishment — perhaps sur- l^assed by nothing that has been undertaken in Central North Carolina. ' Most people are not aware of the need for an institution of this sort in this section, nor of what it will do, and therefore they are indifferent to it. But possibly when it is once in ope ration and understood it will be- and relief at once given. The patient then is encouraged to recover quickly amid such influ ences and help and surround ings, and it requires no effort of imagination to realize how much more effective the hospital is bound to be than the home pos sibly can be in such a case. It is for that purpose this hos pital is to be built. To afford help and health to everybody, without delay, at the smallest possible cost, in the hands of persons who know what they are doing, and by giving the doctor all the help that a well-equip- ped institution can afford him, and the help of the nurses who are there on the job all the time, the doctors will be able to ac complish immeasurably more than they can at the average home where every thing that is needed is miles away in town or in the city, or maybe nowhere except at some other hospital at come the most appreciated pob- lic work in the county and vi- ^ . cinity. In the last generation | some distant point medical practices have under gone a profound change. In older days the doctors handled their work as they had to, under the most difficult conditions, and providing only what prevailing facilities permitted. They ac complished wonders, but today medical knowledge and discov ery have passed beyond the lim its of even thirty years ago when the country dwtor rode his rounds, and medical prac- THE POLITICAL SITUATION. It is useless to try to gloss over the fact that is pertinent enough in all directions that the South is sore on Smith and his methods of repudiating the Democrats of the South, and that he has on his hands a fight to hold the Southern states, and that his election is decidedly ,. , , , . , doubtful. North Carolina, along tices have been more completely, the other Southern states, revolutionized than probably any jg facing a crisis, and might as other effort to benefit mankind. The countr>^ doctor still lives and cares for the sick, but in stead of going from house to house he attempts to have the well prepare for it. The State is normally Democratic by a large majority, and few doubt the safety of the State and local ticket, but wise Democrats will sick as far as is possible comt'niake up their minds that they ^ has equipment 1 have no play spell this fall. The and facihiUes for caring for the; Northern wing of the party pro- aihng, and with his better equip-, poses to do anything to save ment he relieves the sick and | Smitjj and fortify liquor, and no saves life to an extent that was j,elp need be asked from that impossible m the past. 1 quarter on behalf of the State can be made supreme if a proper enforcement system is under taken. With this as an example it is safe to assume that other laws that are violated with impunity can be enforced if the authori ties care to see that the law is made what it purports to be, an instmment of maintaining the rights of all the people as against that small minority that seems to go on the theory that law violation is all il^ht if you can get away with it. Frank Bass has made the water works reservoir of Southern Pines a sanitary water supply for the community, although it has been more or less of a joke until he took the job in hand, and it is just as likely that he would take some of the joke out of the rest of the daily violated laws if he had a chance. One of the troubles with the enforcement of all our laws is that we go on the theory that some laVs are made for fun, some for obedience by a limited number, and some for the pur pose of providing a job for the printers who at certain periods find work in printing the new State laws. Of course everybody knows we have ten times as many laws as we have any use for, and that no man can ob serve half of them for he does not know what they are. But we have some that are sensible and useful, and if the authorities will undertake to enforce those laws that need to be enforced it can be done just as soon as the probable violators are made to understand by positive exam ples that they will be enforced to the positive limit. Frank Bass has set a good ex ample. He has been backed by the commissioners, and he has given law some standing. It would be worth while to go farther in backing the officers in the enforcement of some other laws. ^6r those who want Luiiiiy Comfort as welt as AlI-Amcrican Style The Laruiau Sedan v Body by Ftahm Not just smart •.. these All-American bodies \>Y Fisher.

KLAND ERICAN SIX A hospital is nothing more or less than the community work shop for the benefit of the sick. .Instead of the doctor traveling ticket. That is not the Smith or the Tammany way. A New York Republican, member of the anti prohibition society, with liquor about under all difficulties and as his aim, with offices in the General Motors building, is the head of the Smith campaign. Nothing about the whole thing has any symptoms of Democracy about it, its purpose is to estab lish liquor, elect Smith, humil iate what it calls Southern big otry, and the Southern bigots are counted on to do the job. Possibly they may. But pos sibly they may also decided that the wise plan is to have the State and local ticket, and in sav ing the nation by choosing a MRS. ROUNSEVELLE IS ARCHERY CHAMPION. lack of tools and surroundings to work with brings his sick folks to the hospitals where he can care for them, and that is what is proposed to do at Pine hurst. A piece of good fortune has prompted a number of well- to-do men, including the Duke Foundation, to provide a large sum of money for a good hospi tal in the Pinehurst section, and because of the generosity of these men it will be one of the best equipped hospitals that money and moderp knowledgesolid delegation to*^ Congress,”also Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Rounsevelle, of Pinehurst, have just returned to the Sandhills from a long vacation in the North where they participated in the tournament of the Eastern Arch ery Association. Mrs. Rounsevelle won the ladies* championship with a good margin. This is the first time in the history of the Eastern Archery Association that the ladies* champ* ionship has ever been won by an arch er living South of the Mason Dixon line. Every year on Decoration day the Metropolitan Archery Association hold their annual tournament which is open both to members of the Met ropolitan Association residing within can provide. It will be open for all sick folks, and it will be in the hands of a board of direc tors who will see that it is ope rated in the best manner that is humanly possible. It will be a hospital whose maxim will be to heal the sick a»d relieve the dis tressed, to counsel with the peo ple that sickness may be pre vented as well as relieved, and to in every way contribute to hu man health. In these aays of good roads and a car in every family it is but a few minutes travel from any home in the county, and some of the adjoining counties, to Pinehurst, and an emergency case can be promptly brought to the hospital and a doctor on the job with all his operating equip ment for the most intelligent treatment of the case within a few minutes after the patient is started from home. This hospi tal will be open for every bodv who needs its help, and it is not make safety still more safe by saving it from a president who if elected would have to be op posed by a safe delegation to keep him from doing the things that delegation would make im possible. In choosing a solid Congressional delegation to save the prohibition amendment it will be vastly more logical to re fuse to select a man as presi dent who will be the only danger that amendment can face. If Smith is not elected nobody sus pects the Eighteenth amend ment will need any defenders. Funny, to hire a butcher as a shepherd and then get some good sheep dogs to keep - the butcher from killing the sheep. r ENFORCING THE LAW.
