! gentlemen who attended the meeting
' that the minimum sum required to be
i raised is $160,000.
The meeting was held on the call
I of a special committee of the advis
ory board, appointed some time ago,
to study conditions at the hospital and
report on the urgency of the need for
a new building. The committee, con
sisting of VV. Vance Brown, Samuel
V. Durton, Thomas W. Raoul and I
B. Rogers, presentod their report to
the full board, in which Immediate
action was insisted upon In view of
the conditions which their Investiga
tion revealed.
The report reviewed the beneficent
work of the hospital since its founda
Hon some thirty years ago and then
went into a detailed survey of condi
tions, at the present time in the old
frame building. While the commit
tee found that the work was being
I carried on with the highest efficiency
by the ladles who constitute the hos
pital's board of managers, It also
found that there were certain handi
caps, Inherent in the construction and
I condition of the frame building.
which prevented the maintenance of
Ideal hospital conditions in that por
tion of the hospital even under the
most efficient management.
The point which was especially
stressed in the report and which de
veloped the most interested (discus
sion at the meeting was the statement
that the present building is a fire-trap,
so constructed that a serious fire
would soon become a conflagration
and that the loss to property in such
a case would be insignificant com
pared to the possible loss of life of
those under the hospital s care, most
of them bed-ridden and many of them
located on the third floor of a build
ing of this type.
The report further pointed out in
detail tho high cost of maintaining
and operating the frame building
compared with tha model private'
room wing built about flvo years ago.
Tt was also pointed out that accom
modations were already taxed to a
point that the frame building was
often overcrowded to such a degree
as to be Insanitary, while the plan
of the building with kitchens, laun
dries and food store-rooms below the
level of the street was contrary to
all modern hospital practice, which
requires these essential parts of the
hospital to be so located as to have
a sufficiency of fresh air and light.
After a full discussion of the report.
the. odvisory ' committee concurredj
unanimously in tna committee's rec
ommendations that a new wing, In all
respects equal to the present prlVate-
bo printed for Uio purpose of circula
tion. No detailed plans as to tho
method for raising this fund were
adopted nt the meeting, but coTiald,
ciatlon of tho matter was referred
hack to tho same committee for early
report.
, The matter of an addition to the
Mission hospital was first brought to
the attention of tho public several
weeks ago by fi. Mplnslty. who Intro
duced a resolution to the notary club,
tout tho matter be given attention.
Following this other local clvlo or
ganizations took up the matter and
approved of the plans, appointing
members on the advUory board of the
hospital committee. It was this
board, representing all the local or
ganisations, which reported yester
day. There has been a crying need for
many months for an addition to the
hospital, the conditions of the pres
ent structure being such that patients
were turned away every week. Tie-1
tails of the campaign to bo waged i
will be worked out during the next
few days and In the meantime Spald-,
Ing Frailer, will have a desk at the
Board of Trade, where he will be in
charge of tho campaign.
The fifteen high school boys and
three teachers that hove been work
ing for the Ashevilln Power and Light
company since the school was closed,
on account of the health ban, will
probably finish their work for the
company this week. The boys and
teachers have been counting the
number of wires on a post, measuring
the distance between the posts and
tholr height, counting tho number of
transformers, insulators, and other
equipment on the posts.
After the work is completed on a
post, the boy who takes this Informa
tion marks it down in a book that Is
furnished by the company, and also
puts his number, each, boy having a
different number, on the post, this is
done In case, of further reference.
The party of the boys and teachers
have covered nearly all. the streets in
the city where there aro wires of the
electric company and have also been
Into Cunn's cove. West Ashevillo and
other places. The boys have enjoyed
their work very much as it hus kept
them out nearly all of the time, and
only two of them have taken the In
fluenza, and these two became sick
during tho first two days of the work.

FEBRUARY 12th
We can't all be rail splitters; neither can we all
be great statesmen. Abraham Lincoln was both.
It is far better for every individual not to strive to be
all that the great Emancipator stood for. Rather let
each one follow persistently his natural bent,
whether it be in tilling the soil, or in thrilling the
multitudes through oratory.
As a Store, we allow no other interests to in
trude lest we be hindered in any way in presenting
you with the most authentic styles, the most pleasing
variety it is possible to procure, and values consist
ent with the prices asked.
A GOOD INVESTMENT
Good jewelry has a permanent value, not only from
a monetary .standpoint, but from the standpoint of ser
vice and satisfaction. Cheap jewelry is seldom service
able and therefore the expected satisfaction is lacking in
its use. Our policy is not to sell the cheapest goods. We
strive to merit your patronage and that of your friends
by the service we give and the goods we sell. The giving
of jewelry, such as rings, pins, lavallieres and necklaces
violates no law of thrift, for in each is found an invest
ment of proven worth. Their beauty and value are con
stant reminders of the giver. You can always have the
assurance of getting just the right quality and service at
