This is considerable below the figure suggested by a consulting architect, who estimated that the minimum needs of the hospital would amount] to $37)0,000. On the supposition that the permanent improvements will be granted, a maintenance appropriation of $130,796 is asked for the fiscal year of 1927-28. This is to be reduced $27,000 if the permanent improvement program is not granted. For 1928- 29, a maintenance fund of $129,172 is asked, which is reduced to $87,832 if the improvement program is not enact ed. The most urgent need, according to Dr. Miller and the trusteess, is for a dormitory for the nurses, a new ward that will accommodate fifty beds, and for a central dining hall and heating plant. Another building to take care of a number of special department, in cluding the clinic and school, is also badly needed, according to Dr. Mil ler. It was explained that for some time it has been the policy to con duct a school at the hospital, so that the children that have to remain there I three, six or twelve months may keep up with their school work. At pres ent but one small room is available for this work, which is not sufficient, and the school is being conducted un . der difficulties. Gaston county sup- I plies the teachers and has agreed to supply two teachers and to fully equip the school if the hospital will supply the building. Space is also needed for vocational school work, since an Attempt is being made to start the children in the direction of economic independence whi e they are still in the hospital. But so far this work in vocational education has been little more than a gesture, according to Dr. Miller, because of the inadequate fa cilities for handling it. , , Dr Miller was asked if it was found , i r ‘ . the program could £ jV‘hf tthoo' coutd be be . and his board were ;rerpSio b rn h d e ec-.rin ? tb.,tbee„. meeeentialß. ion requested wouMt.il care of the aituatj ~, definitely, or whether the on the hospital tyould e n two or four years proportionately, Dr [Miller replied that he thou.

Especially is this tcue in cases j ! of tubercular bones and joints, as this ' type of disease is diminishing with the | advent of better and more milk. The I majority of these cases are traceable [to the lack of milk and the proper kind of milk and as milk becomes bet ter and cleaner, the disease tends to vanish. At present there ts no special dor mitory for the nurses, neither is there a central dining hall. Both of these are now essential. Dr. Miller told the commission, because £very inch of available room is now occupied, and congestion exists in every part' of the present building, since ninety chil dren are being cared for with facili ties designed to accommodate only sixty patients. It was explained that it was pos sible to keep their expenses below those of ' similar institutions because of economy of management. For in stance, it was pointed out that all cf ] the water and electric current con sumed is supplied to the hospital free by the city of Gastonia, and that many individuals help. Although no indication was given by any of the members of the advisory budget commission as to their attitude toward the hospital, judging from the number of questions asked and thor oughness with which the whole matter was gone into, it was possible to see that the commission was much inter ested in this institution and the work it is doing, and that it saw the need of the new equipment asked for. In response to a question from a member of the commission it was brought out that there are only five other states in the United States that have institutions of this charac ter, and that many of these are heav ily endowed by individual bequests, so that the states themselves only have a small amount to pay for their main tenance. However, in North Caro lina, the state has had to bear vir tually all of the expense, though there is a tendency now on the part of a few to make special bequests to this hospital and the board hopes that eventually it may be able to accu mulate a substantial endowment from this source. The remainder of the day was de voted to hearing requests from other state institutions and departments, in cluding the State Hospital for the In sane at Goldsboro, for colored pa tients, the State Tuberculosis Sani torium at Sanitorium and the North Carolina college for negroes. A night session was held at which some de partmental requests were considered. Big Rug Sal© at Parks-Belk Co’s.

Her story was sub j stantially the same as that she has | previously told, except that she said she saw Henry Stevens at the spot I after she had previously seen Mrs. Hall and Willie Stevens in a sedan parked in De Russy's Lane. She declared that she heard voices of men and women and the words “explain letters,” and several oaths by men. An oath preceded the demand “let go,” she testified. She then told of four shots which she described as "bang. bang, bang.” In her recital of screaming in a woman’s voice, she emphasized with “Oil my, Oh my,” what terrible sc ream ins- . -** , ,' - “I seen a man and another roan,” #he said when she tola of \ seeing Henry Stevens. She was not asked to identify the “other man.” She had previously said that she saw j Henry Garpender at the scene, but the state’s representatives warned her not to say who the “otfoer man” was in her testimony today. Henry Gar pender is under indictment but is not on trial with hi,s three cousins. She said she saw Willie Stevens in the automobile, but not at the spot where the mumble of voices was heard. Mrs. Hall was described as present later, wringing her hands. Mrs. Hall was asked to remove her hat. which she did as the witness was held up to make her identification. Willie Stevens leaned slightly for ward as Mrs. Gibson told her story. Henry Stevens sat back in his chair and Mrs. Hall’s expression changed only once. She smiled slightly as Special Prosecutor Alexander Simpson asked that her hat be removed. THE COTTON MARKET Showed Renewed Steadiness Early To day, January’ Selling l T p to 12.18. New York, Nov. 18. —(/P)—The cot ton market showed renewed steadiness early today on continued buying move ment promoted by talk of unfavorable weather for *piekin2 and ginning in the South, steady Liverpool cables en couraging reports from cotton goods trade at Lancashire, and reiterated claims of steadiness on the Southern market. There was some Southern hedge selling, but it seemed to be just about offset by trade buying, and first prices were 4 to 7 points higher, January selling up to 12.81, or 8 points above yesterday's closing quotation, and into new high ground for the present movement. Realizing checked the ad vance at this figure, but was absorb ed on setbacks of 5 or 6 points, active months holding about 3 to 4 points net higher at the end of the first hour.

PERSON’S SUIT Against the North Carolina Cotton | Growers' Co-operative Association Raleig’li Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Nov. 18. —Evidently seeh ing new co-ops to conquer, Colone. Willie M. Person, of Louisburg, and a group of other attorneys, has start ed legal action that has for its even tual end the dissolution of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co-opera tive Association. The action *is be ing taken in behalf of P. L. Par ham, Nash county, a membter of the association, as h* Colonel Person him self, and notice of suit was filed Tues day afternoon with the clerk of Nash county superior court, alt'aough no I complaint has as yet been filed. The first move on the part of the plaintiffs will be to seek a bill of discovery from the clerk of the Nash county court against the co-operative associa tion. Both IT. B. Blalock, general man ager of the co-operative asssoeiation, and B. W. Kilgore, president of the association, were out of Raleigh Wed- i nesday when the intention of Colonel j Person and his associates was learned, j However, it was stated by F. D. Web ster, assistant secretary of the asso ciation, that this action came as no great surprise, and that although the association did not know as yet just what kind of action was being brought, it was not in the least worried at the outlook. He pointed out that every member pf the association had full access to all books and information * at all times, and that any investiga tion of its affairs would be welcomed. No actual suit or complains is ex pected to be filed until the bill of dis- j covery sought has been granted, it was explained by Colonel Person. Later, following the investigation under this bill, the formal action will be brought under which it is hoped dissolution of the association may be brought about. Colonel Person has long been prom inent as a foe of co-operative market ing, and it was he who brought the first suit seeking the dissolution of the tobacco co-operative association, j It was he who also suggested to Judge [ Meekins, as one of the attorneys for j the plaintiffs, that a fee of less than $50,000 for services rendered would; be “trivial” though he later said this; statement was made in a spirit of levity.

With the adoption of the standard 1 milk ordinance, which is to go into effect January Ist in Concord, for the county of Cabarrus, by the county health board at its meeting Wednes day, the town of Kannapolis and the entire county will have a standard ! grade of milk. The dairies which sell thwr milk I products in Concord will, beginning [ the first of the year, be required to j mark their milk into whatever grade j theirs is classed. The different grades ; of milk will depend upon the number j of bacteria per cnbic cffiitmnvter that; the milk contains. Grade A will ! . have f»0,000 or less: grade B, 200.000 i or less; then grade 0 with grade D j being of too low a grade to be al* i lowed to be sold jn the city. The J grading that the milk products of the | different dairies will get will depend : largely upon the health of the cows, | which will be determined by having them tested; the methods of handling the milk, testing of the milk ; the con dition of the buildings in which the j cows are kept and the milk handled : j I the cleaning and sterilization of the i i milk containers and apparatus; and | other 1 conditions. The ordinance was j passed in Concord April 12, 1920. and the dairymen will be required to have their milk graded and each bottle labeled with the grade of milk it con tains by January Ist. - * The ordinance which was adopted for the county, with particular refer ence to Kannapolis, will require rhe dairies which supply thqir products to j Kannapolis to have their milk graded j and labeled by May Ist. Dr. T. N. Spencer said todav that 1 many of the farmers who sold their milk in Concord were bettering the conditions of their barns and dairies in order to be able to rate a high grade of milk when the grading goes j into effect. He said that many were building complete new barns to keep I their cattle in and arranging special places in which to handle their milk. Wants a Law Against Conjuring.

The j mercury hung around twenty degrees ! in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kan j sas. St. Louis had -more than five ; inches of snow by nightfall last night, and as much as six inches was re ! ported in Illinois. There were three deaths in Chicago indirectly attribut ed to the storm.

TO RECEIVE BIDS ON THE NEWTON HIGHWAY AT LAST Half Million Dollar Letting December 16th—Move Newton Bids Up to Next Wednesday. Tribune Bureau. Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Nov. 18. —At last the I Statesville-Xewton link in Highway ! Number 10 is to be built, ami bids iare to be opened on the two projects ithat will complete thi* link on Wed-, i nesday, November 24. it is announced jby the Highway Commission. That | part of the route in Iredell county, I extending to the Catawba riveer. is I known as Project 624, and the por- J tion of the route in Catowba county. I from the river west to Newton . is known at* Project 637. The route to be followed has been laid out in ac cordance with the Staate Supreme Court’s now famous Newton High way decision, in which the commis sion was permanently enjoined from j following the original route laid'out. The new route represents snm*- j thing of a compromise between the ! original route planned and the route which the present road follows, which was in existence long l>efore the controversy arose. A new bridge will be required across the Catgwbn river some miles below where the Highway Commission first intended to cross the river, and a sertrnd bridge will be required over a creek i near Newton, both of which will add | materially to the total cost of the ! road. This new route will also pass ! through the towns of Catawba and Claremont, as did the first route pro posed. The route now in use .does not touch either of these towns. After mssing through Claremont and Catawba, the highway dips sharply southward, so as to enter Newtun over a street 'that will take it ]>ast the door of the'courthouse, in cou ! formance with the edict of the su pieme court, although it requires a number of miles of additional con struction to do this. Instead of being a direct route be tween Statesville and Newtou. the new route is a zig-zag. somewhat re sembling a letter “Z”. this being made necessary in order to get the ! route to eonform to the supreme Court ruling. Construction is scheduled to begin within thirty days after contracts have been definitely awarded. Feed Schedule for Swine. Charlotte.
