Saturday, October 10,1925 Appeal to Helpful and Benevolent Spirits The Uplift. I want to take the public into an ! intimate conl'ulonop and reveal some outstanding facts which my long a>» | fiocintion with this institution and its] Miwrintondont and officers have cn-• nbled me to gather. 1 feel that every j person, whose heart goes out to the] unfortunate and the afflicted and to | these that need help in being relieved 1 us an annoying physical defect, will! be interested in this statement. Enlightened humanity in the state » more aroused at this period' than ; ever before in th# matter of health *ml physical fitness. That is an in disputable evidence of the growth and broadening of a proud ciwlizafiton of | which we may justly boast. People have learned that sometime in the pa>t no time was lost in calling in aid JLhen a pet horse, or a prized hog, or blooded coy, or a pedigreed hound, showed signs of illness. That state ment was made by leaders of health campaigns in showing a general anx iety for the welfare of beasts a.nd al-. leging that when illness overtook a member of the family it could be successfully met by a home treatment or neighborhood nostrums. Not so to- f r ; public thought and sentiment re . brought people to realize that time should be lost in getting the t and promptest treatment avail able. Even surgery, once striking hor ror to the average heart, has come in to a grateful acceptability among the majority, many having become benefic iaries of its blcssingH. There be few enterpris : ng and for ward-looking towns and cities that do not now have in their midst a liospit- 1 Hi to make available the professional services of experts and surgeons; and those not so blessed are striying to possess one. That shows aroused, con sciousness of a public duty that the well owe to the afflicted. It is noth ing short of the Christian relig : on in action. Now to the ppint; We have enroll ed in this institution over four hun- I dml boys. Th(*y are here hot alone because of their acts, but in many in stances because somebody failed to learn the real cause of their acts. A j little thing like the tooth-ache will • make a noble and well-poised man ap- girlty of acts that arc not in keeping with his general reputation. How can he be cheerful, hail-fellow and well-met when going through such torture? How could you expect a boy. suffering with adenoids,, bad teeth, diseasesd tonsils, hook-worm, chronic appendicitis, or may other physical ailments to whfch humanity is heir, to appear normal and to take that V!e\v of life which guarantees his nin- J or E conotn * ca l Transportation §\ is su to take a picture trip through an automobile i plant - - - Learn how quality is attained with modertv *■ production methods!

It is unnatural to' : hope for such a record. I Tlie great majority of boys eoming j to the Jackson Training School need | to be relieved of some physical defeet (that handicaps them in a serious man ner, and some have even very serious ailments that nothing short of heroie 1 treatment will give hope or even a ! chance in life. In a limited way and ! as far as our fmaneial ability will per ; mit. the Institution has provided in a j nearby hospital expert and surgieal treatment in eases that demand swift and imperative attention. The results are most gratifying and are visible j In the subject's demeanor and appli cation to duty and his progress. It is utterly impossible for the institu tion to provide with any degree of success and satisfaction and econo my the treatment that a great major ity need without having on the camp us a hospital equipped for this agency of mercy andw relief. This, too, does not include the occasional accidents that occur where hundreds of boys in their times of exercise and daily duty arc engnged. There are no funds available or in sight to provide for this addition to our plant in its great work of restor ing to society the many "dropped stitches" of humanity that come our way. A plan to secure the necessary funds to provide for a hospital of suf fie'eut size* lo meet the requirements and furnished and equipped to give a full hospital ami surgical treatment to all, who need its ministration, has been adopted. It meets with the t unanimous endorsement of the Board of Trustees, who recognize its urgent necessity from the reports and ex hibits that have been placed before them. Numerous individuals, organiza tions, soe'eties and counties have re sponded so generously in the past to nay calls for aid—amounting "to hun- ’ dreds of thousands of dollars—that T dm constrained to believe that there I are (in fact I know it) seventy-five * men and women-in North Carolina,, who will gladly welcome, the oppor : tunity to contribute, each a thousand ! dollars to n fund to provide for the I erection, famishing and equipping of a modern hospital at the Jackson- Train'ng School. Men and women, whom God has blessed with worldly goods, are inter ested in doing a public service while they arc yet in the flesh and to see their donations contributing to the relief of suffering and putting unfor tunate ones into an equal race, iu life. This is no theory. Too many | many men and women, who have ren-1 dered us a valuable serv'op with their money and gifts, in making this in stitution the wonder it is ih finch a short period of time, have expressed -1 the comfort and joy they experienced | in their manifestation of heiepfulness, jto entertain sot a moment the idea that people do not love to be of'a ser vice to their fellows. It will be my pleasure to lay this matter before generous and benevo lently inclined men anti women. 1 know the state possesses them to marked degree. I know,-too, that peo ple do not fall upon your bosom, weep ing. and beg you to accept theiri dona tions ; but they are awaiting an op portunity presented to show their willingness to aid worthy causes. This I purpose doing. I have no doubt of the results. Stingy, pessim istic folks think that everybody else is Tkewisc afflicted, but I know that it is not sot— North Carolina is blessed with generous and helpful people. I .desire and hope at no distant day to reeord the names of seventy-five of them in my little book. This proposed campaign, that has an appeal in it to fine spirited folks, reached the Car of one gentleman, who lost no time in addressing the follow ing letter tr “Albemarle,' N. (’.. Oct. 0, 192i>. “My dear Mr. Cook : “I am in full and hearty sympa thy with,the proposition of building a Memorial Hospital at the Jackson Training School for the remedying of the physieal defects of the many boys eoming to the institution.' I know the best results cannot be obtained in your training of boys, when they are con stantly annoyed by ft physieal defect. "It affords me great pleasure to be one of the seventy-five persons to make the said hospital a certainty ; and I hereby contribute one thousand (sl,- 000.00) dollars for said laudable and much needed addition to the plant of the Jackson Training School. “Wishing you splendid success in this great Work and with |>ersonal re gards, I am. ' "Your friend. ! (Signed) “J. S. EFIRD." This letter of'Mr. Etird. ,olie of the slate’s most successful and far-seeing gentlemen, is a pleasant and most lieartehing proof the proposition will appeal to the hearts and purses of people who hear the call for help. I crave in bringing to a successful conclusion this effort to supply a . molt urgent necessity at the Jackson . training School the prayers and aid 'of God’s favotred and blessed in '.thf state. JAS.

I have suffered a lot with It —pains in my side and back, and bad headache, caused from ex treme biliousness. “After I found Black-Draught, I woujd begin to take it as soon as I felt ft spell coming on and it re* lieved the cause at once. I can recommand it to anybody suffer ing from liver trouble.
