WHOLE NO. 2096 HAVE A HOSPITAL Company Has Been Granted a Charter By the State. A MUCH NEEDED INSTITUTION People of County are Asked to Take Stock In the Incorpora tionAbout Half of Capital Stock Has Been Subscribed. Deserves Hearty Support. Lumb&rtcn is to have a hospi tal. Drs. Rozier and Thompson and Mr. R. C. Lawrence have ob tains dj'rom the state a charter for the institution which is to ba lo oated in this city under the name of the "Lumberton Sanitarium (Incorporated)." The company is incorporated with an authorized capital of $25 COO, but will com mence operation as scon as $10,000 is paid in by the stock holders. Drs. Rozier and Thompson will be the physicians in charge of the hospital, but any dootor in the oounty will have the right to bring his patient to the institution and to treat the patient himself, in the hospital, as locg as he may des re to do so. While the promoters of the en terprise are satisfied that they can obtain the desired amount of stock, $10,000, in town, still they wish to make it a county enter prise andto this end have ad dressed letters to some thirty or forty prominent men all over the county, asking them to take a small quantity of stook each While the or mpany was ohartered on Friday of last week, it is tin. derstood that about five thousand dollars of the capital stock has al ready been subscribed, and the promoters will this week oall upon our citizens for further subscrip tions. The exact location of the hospi tal will be decided upon by the stockholders and the ground pur chased. A site seleoted some time ago has been found not suitable for the purpose. It will be as near the centre of the town as is practicable The hospital will fill a long-felt want. The town and county has need an institution of this kind for years. Many physicians in Robeson have patients, who need surgical attention, but who are not financially able to go to the hospitals in larger oities. ' To these it will mean a great deal. More than this, in the growing town and county there is an im perative need of such an institu tion among our fixed institution a The people of the oounty will no doubt give their cordial support to this enterprise, whioh surely merits a liberal subscription. There is no reason why the insti tution should not be successful in every respect. , Mr. and Mrs. TlcLeaa Entertain. Mr. and Mrs. A. W.
