Number 24 WAYNESVILLE, HAYWOOD OOUNY, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1925 $2.00 a Year in Advance, $2.50 if not o Paid ft v IV X hff A,.?-' Favors Hospital Bonds Issue A FALSE IMPRESSION. . Cove Creek, N. C. June 22, 1925. The Carolina Mountaineer: 1 wish to state that there have been false rumors against the doctors of Waynesville, by . opponents of the hospital bonds. The story goes, that they performed an operation on me, and finding nothing the matter; did not charge me any hospital bill. There is hot a word of truth in this, as the hospital records and a receipted bill for expenses will show. While stating these facts, I also wish to say a few words in regard to the hospital. I am thoroughly in favor of it, because it has already been enough help to my neighbors and myself, to make me see the help and convenience such an institution would be to the people of the county. The time has now come, when the country doctor will be a thing of the past, and the people will have to go to the doctor, instead of the doctor going to the people. How many of the poor people in the "sticks" have cars to take them to Asheville, and how many of them could get the money to pay their bills at those high priced hosptals? And in case of accident or other emer gency, how many would die before reaching Asheville? My son is an example. He was crushed by a log at 3 p. m. and it took about ten men till midnight to get him to Waynes ville. He was almost dead then and would certainly have died if we would have had to take him 'Asheville. He stayed in the hospital at Waynesville twelve week. He received good treat, ment and is now sound and well. I stayed in an Asheville hospital eight days in December and it cost me as much as the twelve weeks my son stayed at Waynesville. I also underwent an operation on the eighth of May at Waynesville, stayed in the hospital 21 days. My bill was very little more than for the eight days days ot Asheville. I got no relief at Asheville, except was re lieved of $147.00 cash. The operation and treatment I received at Waynes-1 ville have helped me, until I believe I am going to get well and strong! again. Of course there are men in the coun ty whom the neople have elected to office and helped to make a portion of what they have., who have now forgot. ten the people who stood by them They have money to go to Baltimore or any other hospital they please, but never think of the people who helped them, and who would have to die like dogs for want of medical attention. Who did Christ say our neighbor was? Read Luke 10 chapter, 30 to 37 verses. It i8 NOT the man who pass-l es hv on the other side hut the one who helps those who are not so for- tunate as himself. In 1st John. 3:14. we find: "We! know we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." How much are we going to love our brother? A few dollars worth, or with a few words ? What is the first and great commendment? Matt. 19:-36-39. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thv heart and with all they soul and with all they mind." And the second is like unto it. "Thou snail love tny neignoor as tnyseu. j.g i ... . . .it . i i i nno is my neignouri i icei uiai it is any one who needs my help. I have been sick for 15 months and would have given everything I had to be well again.
