MUSIC CONCERT DELAYED ACCOUNT COMMENCEMENT In last week's issue of the Scout, the Music Club announced that on Thursday of this week (which is Music Week,) a musical program *011 Id be given at the courthouse under the direction of Mrs. Catb leen \fr. Warren for the benefit of <*'fare Department. The Scout k asked to announce that this pro gram will be put off until June 7, 1929. The reason for this delay is to a conflict with the annual commencement program of the Murphy Graded and High Schools. Mrs. Warren requests that the readers of the Scout watch its 'pages closely for subsequent announce ments concerning this musical con HERO IN DEATH Harry Mulkey, of Marble, broth er of Mrs. A. B. Dickey, member of the I . S. S. Bulmer. Destroyer Squadron. United States Asiatic Fleet, who lost his life early in Feb ruary when he was swept overborn d during the manuevering of his squadron near the Phillippine Is lands. Mrs. A. B. Dickey has re ceived the following letter from Lt. H. K. Padley telling of the circum stances under which young Mulkey met death: Manila, P. I., 16 March. 1929. Mrs. The.lma M. Dickey, Murphy, Deal* Madam: Your letter of February eleventh concerning the sad death of your brother Harry has just been deliv cd. Immediately after the acci dent tin* commanding officer wrote to vour father stating all the de tails. It was indeed a terrible shock to us all especially to the of ficers who had formed a decidedly , favorable opinion of your brother. To all of us he was personally known and personally respected as a worthy man, steady, temperate I and anxious to succeed. It was at I he time of the accident that we learned that he also possessed that ra e quality of heroism. The ?hip was coming down the range at a high speed, all guns ready to fire. Your brother, on bis sta tion for battle, was standing by the ammunition racks. Following di rections received from the leading ship, the Bulmer changed course. In view of the high speed the use of the rudder caused the ship to heel heavily to port. Harry Mul key, along with the others on board was holding on until the ship right ed herself. He noticed that the am munition stowed in the racks was falling from the racks, let go his hold and tried to hold it in. The weight was too great and he was forced back, first slowlv and then rapidly. As he staggered back to the life lines a shel^hit him in the abdomen doubling him up, forcing him between the lines and overboard Immediately a life preserver was thrown to him, but, due 'again co the high speed of the. ship it fell about fifty yards from him. The engine nearest him was stopped until he was clear astern and then at fullest possible speed the ship circled to pick 'him up. The blow from the shell must h'?ve weakened him for he could not stav afloat and went down before the ship returned to the spot. Six destroyers conducted a search for "his body but he was not found. His life was examplary and in his death he showed an unyield ing devotion to duty. Our deepest sympathy goes forth to you and to his father and mother. Sincerely* yours. H. E. PADLEY, Lieutenant, U.

Of course there ! must he doctors to lake care of the sick hut no one doctor nor any sr. nip of doctors shall have any say -O 111 the management and care of the hospital. He wisely stipulated | that the hospital shall lie governed hv a hoard of directors composed jof seven citizens, no one of which shall be a doctor. He does make 'his wise provision because it was his desire that all people cverv | where shall have their choice of physicians, and this is the only way j it should be done. Should you be 111 need of medical services and want a physician or surgeon from another count \ or state you have llie right to call him and Im> cared for in your own hospital amongst your friends and relatives, and not i amongst stranpors. So much for the care and man agement. As lo the expenses, tl,e proposi ? ion of the Duke Foundation is that ?| will donate $35,000 for the erec tion and equipment of a general lios. pital in Cherokee county, if the said county will vote a like amount. It ?s also stipulated that the county 11 . assume not more than .35 cents "" the one thousand dollars for maintenance.
