this county are being treated at the
orthoiaedlc hospital in Gnstonia ; six
others are going bock and fjirth to the
hosplml for treatment; two others are
on the waiting list and nine more can
not go for lack of money. He moved
that Miss May Stockton, rounty health
aurse, lie allowed to draw on the Ro
tary Club each year for the amount of
Km to help these crippled children pay
their expenses at the hospital.
The motion was not put In order.
President Maury declaring be thoiurht
it best to wait until after the Raleigh
meeting to make any appropriation, as
the various clubs In tbe State might
tie asked there to make a contribu
tion.
Fab J. Haywood, chairman of n
committee npHilnted to -onfer with
the finance committee of the Y, re
imrted that the Y 1-onimlttee hod made
no plans so fur, and his committee
could not reixirt until the finance com
mittee makes known what the Y will
need.
John Oglesby told the memtiers of
the club that a new movement Is on i
foot to start a country club here. He.
said It is planned to get 50 members.
to pny an Initiation fee-of f 0 and
monthly dues of $8, so thnt a good
coUrse can lie built at once on the
projierty bought some time - ago for
the club. The club wns not asked to
give anything to the new club, John
stating that he "just wanted to let the
members in on a good thing."
Dr. Sprnill, who Is conducting a tu
berculosis clinic here this week, was
heard with much Interest. He declar
ed that tuberculosis is not an Incura
ble disease, but rather is one of the
easiest of all diseases to cure if the
patient is given treatment early
enough. He also paid tribute to the
work, of the Rotary Club, declaring
that formerly clubs were organized to
provide a loafing place for their mem
bers, where smoking, drinking and card
playing all selnsh interests were
enjoyed by the members... "But dur
inghis inWting b dcclnredyfj, nay
heard Hot one word of selfishness. I
am glad to see '.this organization is
aiming 10 lmpiove cuuuiuons ior
Ot tum-nlo
er people.
Thirty-seven persons died in this
county Inst year with tuberculosis, Dr.
Sprain pointed out. "These deaths
must be laid at someone's door. If
there had been 37 deaths anions pure
bred cattle, all from the some disease,
we would have become alarmed, and
asked Washington to sand an expert.
But over these human lives we have
shown no particular interest. We are
accustomed to our people dying. And
.conditions In Cabarrus are found in
other counties. People are dying be
cause they have no chance to live."
Dr. Spruill stated that he had con
ducted about 10,000 examinations but
when he had to stand face to face
with a man nnd tell him he Is going
to die unless he gets treatment and the
man answers he has no money for the
treatment, he always feels sad and
discouraged. "In spite of all the
wealth in this country, and all the
Churches," he added, "there Is not a
bed on which a patient can be laid
except a the county home, and that
is the last place in tne worm to senu
a person with tuberculosis.
Dr. Spruill stated further that but
two counties in the State had taken
advantage of a law passed In 1910 in
which the State offers land free to
counties for cottages at Sanatorium.
These counties are Guilford and Gas
ton. He explained that if the coun
ties would build cottages at Sanator
ium, as many have dune at tbe Jack
son Training School, the State would
na.V all overhead expenses. He thinks
tbe nlnn of several counties building a
hospital together Is all right If it can
he done, but politics w.ill take a and
th the matter, he said, and spoil every
thing If. the builders are not very par
ticular. -
He nlend with his hearers to- do
something to give this stricken pedple
a chance to be treated, ror in oeing

Dr. Lewis, who was the guest of

sion on the clubv members. He de
clared that everywhere In the city he
had been very cordially received, and
that this treatment meant much to
htm, a stranger coming here to take
nn an important work,
, He also expressed.- delight that he
