SPRI &c HILL CHURCH
RESPONDS LITERALLY
TO HOSPITAL CLAIM
METHoDIsTs OF THAT TOWN ON
SUNDAY GAVE OVER
$1,000.
AFTER SERMON OF MR.. CLEMENT
Funds Now in Hands Of the Galloway
Memorial Hospital Aggregate More
Than $43,ooo-Suecess of the En-
terprise is Now Assured.

At the close of stirring sermon by
Rev. A. e. Clement, Hospital Commits
sioner for the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, the Methodist church
at Spring Hill on Sunday morning
raised S1,03S for the Galloway Memo
rial Hospital to be erected in Nash
vile.
This magnificent contribution from
one of the smallest churches In the
conference was a spontaneous offer
ing and came without great effort. 1t
is striking testimonial to the liberal
spirit which pervades the Methodists
of that section and shows their enthu-
siasm for the hospital
The Spring Hill congregation is
hardly an average in point of numbers
and wealth of the charges OF this con-
ference, but if every charge in the
Tennessee conference should contrib
pte in proportion more than 100000
would be raised alone in the Old Je-
rusalem Conference for this cause.
Rev. A. E. Clement came to Spring
Hill Saturday evening and remained
there until Monday. On Sunday
morning he presented the claims of
the hospital to a very large and at
tentive audience That his sermon
made profound impression upon his
hearers was evidenced by the liberal
to the appeal for funds.
The Spring Hill contribution brings
he total amount of the hospital funds
IN hands to above $4,000. The com
missioner confidently expects that this
sum will exceed $4,000 within the
next four weeks. The work is being
pushed most vigorously and the COM
llete success of the enterprise which
will mean SO much not only to South
IN Methodism but also to protestant
SIN of the South is already assured.

MUST PAY TAXES
BY MARCH | TO
ESCAPE THE PENALTY
TIME DRAWS NEAR IN WHICH TO
MEET PUBLIC OBJ
LEGATION.
RUSH AT THE TRUSTEES OFFICE
One Per Cent. Penalty and Half Cent
Interest After This Month-PenaI-
ty on Delinquent Polls Is Twenty
five Cents.

With the passing OF the present
month all state and county taxes will
become delinquent, and will be sub
ject to penalty. under the laws of
the State.
During February tax collections
have been heavy. about thirty thous-
and dollars having been paid across
the counter of the trustees office. 1t
is estimated that an additional thirty
thousand will be paid in by March L,
as many of the heavy taxpayers, such
as the l. & N. Railroad, always wait
until the last moment in order to get
the benefit of the interest on their
money. About $4,000 had previously
been collected. The tax aggregate is
$4,000 in round numbers. So it is
evident that the amount delinquent on
March | will be about $4,000 or s40,-
600.
The penalty accruing after March
is one per cent. per month, and one
half per cent. interest, with penalty
of twenty-five cents for delinquent
polls.
Trustee Elem Thomas has notified
the tax payers through the press that
the penalty will accrue after March 1,
and has endeayored in this way to
keep them for falling into the delin-
quent list. AS result Of these no.
tees there has been big rush to the
trustees office, and long line of tax
payers may be found there at any
hour. AS the time draws shorter in
which taxes can be paid and the pen
atty escaped, the list of anxious will |
grow. But there will be large num-

GENEROUS AMERICA
Red Cross Relief Operations World
Wide In 1910

Six big disasters will occur in the
United States in 1911. This Is not
the prediction of an astrologer but Of
the American Red Cross, the organi-
cation which conducts larger work
Of relief among people stricken by
great calamlties than any other agen-
cy In the world. Experience has led
the Red Cross to expect an average
OF five or six serious disasters In this
country every year. 1t does not know
where or when they will occur, or
whether they will be caused by storm,
or fire or food, or earthquake or ex-
plosion. But II is sure that they will
happen, just as one may be sure that
fifteen persons of every thousand now
living will die in the next twelve
months.
World wide service TO humanity
was shown In reports presented at
the recent national meeting OF the
American Red Cross In Washington.
This organization. OF which President
Taft is president, is recognized by the
federal government as the official
channel for the conducting OF relief
work wherever In the United States
people suffer from the results Of
great calamities. But the Red Cross
does not confine itself TO relief oper-
ations In this country. Its field is
the world.
Experience proves not only that an
average OF five or six disasters severe
enough to call for Red Cross help,
may be expected to occur every year
in the United States, but that the de-
mands from other countries may be
expected to be equally numerous.
Some idea OF the character and yarie.
ty OF these demands may be gained
from the disasters with which the
| Red Cross dealt in the last twelve
months These included. in the Uni
/ ted States. one hurricane. one mine
/ fire, two mine explosions and forest
fires In Idaho. Montana, Oregon
Washington and Minnesota. in for
eign countries, relief of starving cap
tured soldiers in Nicaragua, foods In
Mexico, France, Servia and Japan
the Armenian massacres and the
earthquake In Costa Rica.
In the disasters above mentioned
which occurred In the United States
SOC lives were lost. while, approx
mately, 750e persons required immed
late assistance. About 5000 persons
lost their homes by fire or hurricane
The money expended by the Rec
Cross in these relief operations in the
United States was $4,000 and In for
eign countries $66.5OO total OF 1862,
500. Other relief funds expended il
this country in conjunction with thos'
OF the Red Cross and according to III
plans and methods amounted to 1918,
900. making the grand total relief ex
pendlures OF the year under Re-
Cross leadership S4SO,5O0.

OF them important and some OF

Democrats opposed adoption OF the
senate proposals of amendment that
II looked at first as II there was a
party movement against the COVER

case.
There has developed on the part
OF some members, ut least, feeling
against permitting the senate to die

change was that some members BE-
