HOSPITAL BOARD HOLDS
QUARTERLY MEETING.
Editor Clark, a Member of the
Board, Gives Report of the
Meeting Number of Patients
New Water Supply.
ARBOR DAY SET
FOR NOVEMBER 5.
The following report of the quar
terly meeting of the State Hospital
board of directors appeared in Fri
day's Statesvllle Landmark, Editor
Clark being a member of the board:
At the regular quarterly meeting
of the board of directors of the State
Hospital at Morganton, Wednesday,
the report of Supt. McCampbell
showed that there were on the Hos
pital rolls June 1 last, 594 male and
810 female patients, a total of 1,
404. During the three months June,
July and August 52 men and 53 wo
men were admitted, a total of 105.
Discharge during the same period,
31 one man and 30 women. Deaths
20 9 men and 11 women. Remain
ing on the rolls August 31 1,458 636
men and 822 women.
The installation of an additional
water supply, for which the last Leg
islature made 'an appropriation of
$60,000, is in progress. The ditch has
been dug for the gravity line, a dis
tance of about eight miles, and pipe
is being laid. To protect the water
supply several hundred acres com-
prising the water shed will be pur-
chased. Negotiations for this land
have been in progress and Supt. Mc
Campbell was instructed to close the
deals. It is expected that the new
water line will be completed in two
to two and a half months and it is
estimated that it will add a minimum
of 400,000 to 500,000 gallons to the
Hospital's water supply. The pres
ent supply of about 200,000 gallons
has been adequate for some years
and the addition is expected to pro
vide ample water for the institution
for many years.
Application was made for right of
way through the lands of the Hos
pital for a railroad which it is pro
posed to build from Morganton in the
direction of Shelby. The application
was referred to the executive com
rnittee and the superintendent, with
power to act.
The superintendent was instructed
not to receive patients until applica-
tion papers had been received and
passed on and a permit issued for
admission. In a few instances pa
tients are taken to the Hospital with
out application papers having been
filed or a permit issued for the ad
mission of the patient. This embar
t rasses the superintendent, who must
either refuse patients in such cases
or take them without papers. If the
latter course is pursued the practice
is liable to be abused by those who
desire the admission of patients and
is unfair to those who await the reg
ular procedure. Hence the instruc
tion that the regulations must be
complied with by ' applicants for ad
mission.
The crop on the Hospital farm is
unusually promising this year. The
farmer estimates that the corn crop
will be over 3,000 bushels, but form
er members of the board think the
estimate is modest; that the crop
will surpass that. In addition to the
corn crop there will be a fine crop of
feedstuff and ,the crops of . vegeta
bles, etc., have been good.
All the members of the board were
present at the meeting except Mr.
A. A. Shuford of Hickory, who had
been called away on important busi-

By special proclamation of Gov-

5, 1915, has been set aside as Arbor
Day. The General Assembly at its
last session enacted an arbor day
law and Monday Governor Craig is
sued the proclamation fixing the date.
The public schools of the State will
observe the day by recitations, drills,
songs and exercises, and by the plant
ing of trees and shrubs on the school
grounds. A full program is under
preparation in the State Department
of Education and will be issued in
pamphlet form.
Governor Craig's proclamation is
as here given:
"Whereas, nearly two-thirds of the
total area of North Carolina, is now
covered by forest growth, the great
er part of which has been cut over by
lumbermen, and devastated by fire to
such an extent that its annual yield
is less than one-half what it should
be; and
"Whereas, the soil is the material
source of our strength and upon its
right use depends the permanent pros
perity of our State; and
"Whereas, the present generation
is coming to realize that the use of
the forest and the soil has not been in
accordance with proper economy in
as much as forests have been de
stroyed by axe and fire, steep lands
have been cleared and unwisely used
and ruinously cultivated; and
"Whereas, the coming generation of
brest and soil users is, now in our
public schools; and upon the school
children of the State is to fall the
task of repairing the loss caused by
our carelessness or indifference; and
"Whereas, the General Assembly of
this State has seen fit to enact an
Arbor Day law:

Eleven million, one hundred thou
sand thrifty people had nearly five
billion dollars in the 2,100 banks of
the United States on June 30, 1914.
That is to say one person in every
nine had something laid away against
a rainy day. The average savings de
posit was $444.36.
In North Carolina 56,199 people, or
only one person in every forty, had
money on savings account in our 28
savings banks, the average accounts
being $183.96 and the total $10,338,-

The increase over 1913 in the num

In the number of savings banks,

average account per depositor, our
rank was thirty-sixth; in the total de
