Among the conditions vhich must be met, in accordance with the action of the Conference, is that the community where the hospital -is to be located must furnish an adequate medical staff a suitable site, at least S4r',000 in delegates were present, all the camps being represented except one. The president, Mr, Peeler, of Faith, presided, and G. O. Kluttz was secretary. The reports of the various camps were read and showed the order in fine condition. The subject of woman suffer age was discussed. J L. Shup ing and T. E Webb spoke in the affirmative, and G. H. "Page and W A. Daniel the negative. A good many interesting points were brought out, some of which were quite humorous. The ques tion was left to a vote of the members present and the vote stood about five to forty in favor of the negative. By vote it was decided to meet next in Salisbury, with Camp No. 24, on the last Monday night in March. After the business of the eve- nine was over the China Grove Camp served refreshments, most ly to J. L. Stuping, A. G. Shank, H. C. Sloop and G. W. Hill.

Albemarle, Dec. 28. That. work on the second big dam to be built by the A.merican Aluminum Com pany at the Falls of the Vac! kin aoout three miles below Baiin is to commence upon a big'scaJe is evidenced by th fact that a double track of railway is to be continued down tne river from Badin to the falls It is reported upjon good auth ority that the fina survey for this road is now being ,inade and that stakes are being driven prepara tory to active construction work of the road. The? fact that the road is to be doubfe tracked from Badin to the falls is conclusive proof that the work is considered to be exceedingly heavy. It is reported that work on the construction of this ne w extension of railway will be commenced immediately and that trains will be running threemiles farther down the Yadkin just as quick as labor and materia? can place the track in order This will mean no doubt the addition of several hundred additional workers on the big development which is literally tearing up the woods for several miles up and down the Yadkin river just east of this city.
