Short History of MoVe
ment For Hospital.
Wednesday, February 8, is the day for
the holding of an election in Gaston
. county on the question of -whet her or
not there shall be built a tuberculosis
hospital. The issue of the election are
whether or not the county shall issue
$150,000 in bonds to build the hospital
and to levy a tax not to exceed eight j
eents for support and maintenance. A
new" registration was required by the
term of the election. Registration in
some quarter of the county ha been j
unusually heavy. In other sections, n
general apt by hat t haracterized the elec
tion, and not much interest has been a
rouaed in the matter one way or the!
other. In the rural sections in the north- j
cm and western sections of the county, j
there is intense opjiosition to the mens- j
ure. In Oastouia, Belmont, Mt. Holly
and Cramerton, sentiment for the hospi-l
tal is strong. According 10 Mr. John j
C Carpenter, chairman of the campaign '
committee, the election will be deter-1
rained by the, vote of the four towus
named above.
Approximately 4,000 voters have regis-!
tcrod for tin' elect i')n. A' partial list
has been secured from Mr. Carpented,
showing the registration by precincts
over the county. Thin list shows a total
of 3,786. There are a number of pre
cincts, however, who9v' registration is
not recorded.
The movement for the hospital elec
tion was boru some 18 months ago, and
has been fostered largely by the women
of the county. The late Col. C. B. Arm
strong was tho first general chairman.
Upon his death, no successor was elected
until a month ago, when Mr. Carpenter
was seUfted. The campaign for the elec
tion has been
tho civic clubs
vigorously prosecuted by!
of Ga.stonia. the doctors!
and ministers and the public bealth
nurses.

introduced jn tho House by Representa
tive Hehall, of Minnesota, with the en
dorsement of tho association, would put
the new time schedule into effect in
to give the "other nations an opportuni

The bill is advocated by the associa

fix for all time the dates of every day of
