It was the sense of the stockhold ers, though no ofnelal resolution was passi d to that effect, that any physi cian in tlo- i uiinty who so desires may in . onie a stockholder In this Institu tion. It was also agreed that any physician in the county, not a stock holder, will be accorded the privl l'.;e of bringing his patients to the hospital for treatment under the jams rules as those governing thoso physi cians who are stockholders. At present workmen Hre engaged In remodeling the old Gaston Inn, which was recently purchased by the company and which is being put In shape for occupancy.

TIey Ar "Seriously Thrratened Wltli - the Lot of tlie lmplnp Stato How j-atiier party May win it. New York-Special. 20th, to Washln;- ton .Post, . . . .. . "What ar yon follows trying ta do car Y us this ' early in tlto cam paign?" inquired a man' who is con spicuous In buslnesa circles here of an officer of the Republican national committee this tveninr.- " "What 40 you jneanr tha latter asked in turn. - "Why the - newspapers are full of matter tending to ahow that Bryan has Taft on tha defensive, is stirring up tha middle' West against the Re publicans, and expects , tov carry New York. Is that true or not, or are you folks planning a raid on our bank accountaT" The Republican politician's answer it immaterial, for the point to this Mittle colloquy is that a genuine scare has set In among the' so-called Mg interests, particularly those with Re publican leanings. Most of the news that has reached New York tells of 1 Democratic aggressiveness in the States which are debatable Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, etc DEMOCRATS HAVE OAINED. These tidings have been so consist ently of the same general trend that at last Republicans have awakened to the fact th'at a real danger con fronts them: that confidence begot of former-triumphs may be misplaced and that Democracy is making head way which, if unchecked, will sweep Bryan into the presidency. it was pointed out in a previous dispatch that, as a general rule, the larger business interests of the me tropolis preferred the election of Taft to that of Bryan, and that this prefer ence was inspired by the belief that commerce and Industry would more readily be restored to normal condi tions if the Republicans continued in power at Washington. when Bryan came here he was quick to discern this sentiment, and started in at once to attempt to coun teract it. In his speeches he repeat edly declared that there was no rea son for such disquietude in business circles; that Democratic administra tion did not signify turmoil, disas ter, or hard times. That, he as sured his audiences, was a Republi van deception practiced with suc cess in tha past, and should not fright en the people any more. ONLY CONSERVATIVES FOR EAST. In pursuance of a definite plan to conciliate business men who have been opposed to him In the past, he directed the national committee to send all radical stump speakers to the middle West, and assign only men of proved conservatism to proclaim Democratic doctrine in the East. This is Illustrative of the tactics this con summate political leader Is employ ing these days. Now that the excitement Incident to the Republican and Democratic State conventions and the visit of Bryan has subsided, the managers of the two parties are beginning to take stock. The Democrats find more cause for satisfaction than the Republicans do, for reasons specified In recent dis patches. The Democrats have more to accomplish in order to carry New York than the Republicans, because the State has been In the control of the Republicans since 1894. and they have had plenty of time and oppor tunity firmly to Intrench themselves. But their adversaries have ' succeeded in weakening their grip, and now the Republicans must regain what they have lost. STILL HAVE UPPER HAND. This means they have less an ad vantage than they had a week or two ago, but still some. If they prove their ability to prevent further inroads by the Democrats, to adjust their own differences, and to get Into a posi tion where they will no longer be on the defensive, the chances are the electoral vole can be saved for Taft and Sherman. If Incompetency char acterizes the management of their campaign. Internal dissension does not cease, and much ia left to luck and Providence, Bryan will finally se ore a victory. HOW TAFT CAN CARRY NEW YORK. In summarizing the situation in New York at this s'age of the cam paign. It may be said that Taft should carry tha State, If First, the support of the business Interests, whose disposition since 1896 has been to assist the Republican party, Is not alienated to a more pal pable degree than at present. Second, Governor Hughes maintains his inherent advantage over Lieuten ant Governor Lewis Htuyvesant Chan ler. due to his services at Albany, and his being the Initiator of various re forms to which hl Democratic oppo nent has subscriber. Third, the Independence party, un der the skillful leadership pt William R. Hearst, polls tha vote Its friends are predicting between 170,000 and 200,000 or, the Republican man agers anticipate, about 100.000. HOW BRYAN CAN CARRY IT. Bryan should swing tho State into the Democratic column if First Tammany Hall's professions of support and loyalty prove to b ab solutely sincere, and it does not trade votes on the Presidency for votes for the Htote, legislative, and county tick ets. There Is still some suspicion aa to Tammany's pretensions In high Bryanlto circles. Second Certain large business In terests satisfy themselves that they no longer need fear Bryan as chief administrative officer of the nation, and that his repeated assurances to this effect are to be depended upm, Third Republican dlsorranlzatlon continues. In consequence of the In terference by the national administra tion last week with the Saratoga con vention.

His fame and the merit of hla wonderful Plant Juice preparations hare spread over the entire Sta te and wherever they go beneficial results are sure to fol low. . Colonel Dillingham's oonular free shows and elaborate advertising campaign serve as an introduction to the public, but it Is the Plant Juice remedies, with their positive proof of merit, mat cements the public friend- snip. A mere is no name more popular in Charlotte and this vicinity to-day man mat or riant Juice, a popu larity directly attributable to the many cases of relief afforded to sufferers of this section. It Is these grateful friends that spread the name and fame of Plant Juice by sucn stones or relief as the follow ing statement made by M. D, Lewis, who lives on a rural route near this city: - "I have been a sufferer from rheumatism In both of my legs and have been unable to follow my occu pation or lumberman for several montns. I suffered agonising pain with this disease and tried hard to get relief, but I was unable to get anything that did me any good until I tried Plant Juice Liniment. This Is the first medicine that I have found that gave me the slightest relief. I rubbed my legs with the liniment as directed and the pains at once dis appeared and bv taklnir Plant ThIk I believe I have succeeded in driving it out of my system altogether. I know there are a great many people who are suffering with rheumatism as I did and believe It my duty to tell them what Plant Juice has done for me." Rheumatism Is one of the most painful and common of our every day ilia Thousands are suffering with it to-day, and are unable to gain relief because they have not found a remedy that will drive the uric acid out of the system. Plant Juice has demonstrated its ability to do thia. and it is this that has re sulted in such a great popularity and demand for the Plant Juice remedies n Charlotte that local dealers find it a difficult matter to keep a "jf flcient supply on hand. The knowl edge and proof that Plant Juice can cure disease has spread to every part . a ne.,?tat, an1 at the W. L. Hand and other drug stores of this city there Is a growing demand bv mall for the remedies. Out-of-town resi dents have lenrned that Plant Juice bought by mall Is sold under the same guarantee as if bought in per son and know that they take no risk in giving it a trial. . ?,Jf havs P"8"! the formation stage and the developments should be sufficiently susceptible of Intelligent Interpretlon to enable one to Judge in whlrh direction the tide Is Inevit ably running.

YORK CROP OOXDITIOX8. Cotton Short About One-Fonrth or One-Third Corn Acreage Very I-arge Hut the Yield Will be Off. Special to The Observer. Yorkvllle, R C, ppt. 22 About three weeks ago the statement was made In this correspomlence that at a conservative estimate the cotton yield In this county would be about 20 per rent, leas than that of last year, and at that time the estimate seemed to be fully warranted by the Information that was available. Since then picking has become general and; It l.o now pretty generally conceded that the crop Is off from 25 to S3 per cent, as an average for the entire? county, while In some sections It Is es timated that thr crop will not exeeed 50 per cent, of that of laxt year. Th" yield of 1907 was the largest In the history of the county, the total crop aggregating about 44.000 bales. While 11 Im a fact that the crop Ss being har vested with unusual rapidity, owing to tho very favorable weather that has prevailed during the past two weeks, and Immediately hauled to the glna much of it Is not being thrown on the market. Rome farmers report that they are getting from 78 to 90 per cent, of an the cotton they will gath er this year at the first picking. The corn acreage this year la un usually large, but the yield will not be so grest to tho acre this year as Inst and In many instances the fod der, on which many farmers depend for forage, was destroyed by the Au gust flood. Taken as a whole, the out look Is not nearly ao encouraging as at this time last year, but there in no reason to anticipate serious business disaster. The people have not bought so extravagantly aa usual on credit this year, nd It Is believed that most of them will be able to meet their obligations to the merchants. In an ticipation of a short crop and low prices tne mercnanis. as a rule, nave bought sparingly and It Is believed that they too will be able to meet their accounts. Change of Schedule Oreat Boon.
