Mail Carrier Unable to Read or Write
Reno Cor San Francisco Chronicle

Reno has a mail carrier who can neither
read nor write, not because the government
desires this sort OF clerk In the service. but
because the postmaster cannot secure appli-
cants for the position from the ranks OF
those who are making more money in other
lines. The cost of living Is 80 high In Reno
that no one wishes to try his luck with the
chance of promotion In the civil service.
John Duvrey. recently over from France,
has started to serve as mail carrier. and.
although he can neither read nor white. he
compares the numbers on the houses with
the addresses and manages to hold down
his job.

That's a centre shot the Cotton
Association gives the New York
Cotton Exchange. The impress
sion has long prevailed that infe
rior grades of the staple-cotton
unfit for manufacturing purposes
are used to depress the price
of good cotton. Not exceeding
one per cent. of the entire cotton
crop, it is said, is of the character
that is made TO regulate the mar
ket value of the whole. A greater
injustice was never perpetrated
upon a people. Not only the
farmers, but the mills and all
classes and kinds of legitimate
business are made to suffer for
the benefit Of the cotton specu
lators. 1t is high time something
was being done TO relieve the
situation.

the subject before the people,
trusting that the time will come
when something will be done to
secure for Lancaster one of the
greatest institutions of the day,
and one which the community
stands in need of right now. AL
most daily evidences are offorded
of the very great need of hos.
pital here.
1t is possible that one
reason our suggestion has not
borne fruit is because no one has
felt especially called upon to
take the lead in the matter.
Whats everybody's business is
nobody's business" we all know
10 be only too true when practi-
cal results are desired. We have
more than once alluded to the
Anderson movement for a hos
pital, and as the Anderson Mail
this week gives a history of that
movement, we here reproduce it
for the information of our read
ers, hoping that it may at least
serve as peg upon which to
hang our ideas.
The Mail says: "The Ander.
son Spirit" was never illustrated
in mere splendid manner than
in the successful efforts that
were put forth last September to
secure a hospital in this city.
The need for a hospital has
been felt for several years. Some
three years ago "The Ladies
Hospital association" was formed
The women had been working
faithfully toward the desired
end, and had brought very de.
sirablc let and paid for it at
cost of $4,000 and had several
hundred dollars surplus in their
treasury. Then one day last
September it was decided that
there had been enough talking
and waiting and that the time
had come to build the hospital.
a committee of representative
business men was appointed to
canvass Tor subscriptions. They
went to work and within less
than week had raised a little
more than $15,000-enoueh to
erect and equip the hospital
building.
All classes of people contrib
uted literally to the hospital
fund, and the committee which
had charge of securing the sub
scripUons said the work was a
pleasure rather than a burden.
Not only did the people of the
city contribute to the fund but
the people of the county as well ,
for it is recognized that the hos
pital will be benefit to the
county as well as the city.
The first installment of the
subscriptions has been called for
aud paid in, plans for the build
ing have been selec ed. and the
work OF erecting the building
will start in the early spring.
Before the end OF the year An
derson will have modern hos
pital, large enough to meet the
needs Of the city for years to
come.
The hospital will be a credit
to the city and TO the llberallty
of the citizens whicn made it
possible, but the greater part OF
the credit will always be due to
the ladies, who fl st conceived
