WILL LAUNCH DRIVE
FOR HOSPITAL HERE
DR. MARVIN SCRUGGS WILL
' PF1 4 T CTTr
Tkic tors Pledge Their CD-Operation
and 3Iany Speak Favor
ably of Plan To Solicit Funds
N A public hospital ; movement for
Cleveland was again launched Tues
day night in the'Cotirt House and this
time the attendance was so good, the
o-operation was so manifest and the
desire fo? a hospital so enthusiastic
that it Seems ,the'.hospitaI will this
time become a. eality(Dr. Marvin
Scruggs, noted surgeon of Charlotte
fame- up on invitation to attend the
meeting and advise with them on the
plan of financing, method of opera
::on, etc. It pleased the audience to
hear Dr. Scruggs say that he came up
expecting to subscribe to stock. This
wasfttaken by the audience to mean
that he would locate in Shelby if a
homutal is built.
The audience nearly filled the court
house with enthusiastic men and wo-'
men, a dozen or more of whom were
celled upon by Mayor J. T. Gardner
presiding, for skot talks. All of the
physicians present pladged their mor
n and financial support which is con
sidered the one most important thing
contributing to the success of an in
stitution of this character.
The following committee was aD-:
pointed to make a thorough canvas
f f the town and county and secure
subscriptions to stock: 0. M. Mull,
chairman, J. D. Lineberger, C. C
Btenton, A. W.' McMurry, 0. M. Gard
ner, A. V. Wray, J. F. Robert?, Miss
5elma Webb, Mrs. Ct-ph Blanton, Mrs.
C. R. Hoey, Mrs. J. F. Roberts, Mrs.
P. L. Hennessee, Mrs. Paul Webb,
Mrs. Carl Thompson, Mrs. George
Elanton, R. E, Campbell, Paul Webb.
Dr. S. S. Royster is chairman of,a
committee to discuss the jlan of op
eration, par value of stock and de
termine the amount that shall be
raised. All of the local physicians;
Drs. Palmer, Lattimore, Gibbs, Ham
rick, Golds, Houser, Ellis, Mitchell
together with the following laymen:
Messrs. Geo. . Blanton, C. S. Young.
Wm. Lineberger, W. J. Roberts and
Lee B. Weathers. Messrs. I. C. Grif
fin and Charlie Burrus were ap
pointed publicity committee.
It seems the sense of the leaders
that $60,000 to, $75,000 should be rais
ed which would build and equip a 25
or 30 bed, hospital, not expensive in
appointments, but comfortable, com
pact and up-to-date in every particu
lar. After the committee on plan of
operation, par value of stock and
terms 6f payment meets and decides
these questions,-the canvassing com
mittee will 6et to work and make a
vigorous appeal to the citizens of the
town and county fbr the necessary
funds. r "
In ppeaking of the hospital, Dr.
Scruggs' who is a native of Ruther
for'and well Known in this county,
said that Cleveland is surpassed by
no other county in the state in the
intelligence of its citizenship, that he
had treated many patients from this
county and he had learned to love
them and. to know thaf they want and
need a local hospital. He thought the
better plan' to get the money would
be by stock subscription and sees no
reason why under good business man
agement the stockholders should not
receive nominal dividends on their
investment. -
PLAN TO SET TREES

CIRCUSES SAY THEY
, LOSE MONEY THIS YEAR
Manager Says Expense of
Howe's Circus is $4,000 Per
Day ,--"V;
v An interview with Charlie Mugivan,
manager of Howe's' Circus and Van
Amburg's animal show, printed in this
"aoue oz me i or vine Enquir
er is very Interesting for the reason
that this circus filled an engagement
in Shelby October 6h. It says:, V
Respite the fact that he was well
over military age, CharlleMugivan
was one 6f the, first to enlist in the
106th Engineers when Uncle Saoi got
into the World War and hfc was over
seas hi France an Germahy for many
months, . After getting ' Overseas he
figured that he could best lo his bit
by organizing a circus for the soldier
lads and this he did. . The bifi ehpw
traveled all over the war aVea showing
day after day to crowds bf frofn 10,.
000 to 20,000 soldiers. Name and fame
of Mugivan't circus was far and wide
and there are bo doubt many soldiers
in this, section who will recall it.':
This has been a hard year on ; cir
cuses according to'Mugjvan. Short
crops and low prices for agricultural
products are responsible, i i"When
farmers north, south, east or west
don't get good prices for their pro
ducts they can't come to see the cir
cus," said Charlie. i ' , v
"We haven't mado, any money in
weeks and in f net,, we have broken
even in mighty few towns. Out of
twenty-seven towns in North Carolina
that we have played recently we made
a little money in five. Iii the othuM
we suffered a big loss. We were agree
ably surprised at the attendance, in
Yorkville and while we didn't make
any. money here why we will, break
about even. Our dailv exnense is
bout $4,000 and of course you see
that lots of people have to pay the
price of admission to get that much
money every day. : t j

if the railroad's strike comes it mav
be a good thing for us. .

The Synod of North Carolina has
the distinction of being the largest
synod in the Southern Presbyterian
church. It has 501 churches, 278 min
isters and a membership of C3,0o4, in
creased last year by 2,894 members.
The Sabbath school enrollment is 53,
951, increase of 8,114 during the year.
This shows the remarkably fine' work
that has been done during the past
year. The church has set as its goal
"Sabbath school enrollment equal to
the church membership." It. would
seem that this goal will , soon be
reached, if the present growth con
tinues. , ' : , , . . , ,. . . ,.
The need of more candidates for the
ministry has become a much discuss
ed question. The reports last, year
showed only 92 candidates in this
synod. In 1913 there were 142. In the
past North v Carolina has furnished
more than twice as many candidates
for the ministry as any othea synod.
In the Southern Presbyterian church
one church out of four is without a
pastor. There' are 85 churches with
