PRES. JNO. NJ. KINARD.

the able and faithful assistance of
Secretary Lambert ". Jones and the
others officers.
President John NJ. Kinard, in calling
the special meeting to order, stated
that before accepting the presidency,
to which he was recently elected, he
had consulted with the board of COVER
nors, and that they had pledged him
their earnest support and co-opera-
ton, and had agreed with him upon
several important particular things for
the general benefit of the whole COM
munity, for which the chamber OF COM
merce should work He said if any
entertained the idea that the chamber
of commerce was favoring any special
person or interest, he wanted them to
disabuse their. minds of that idea, as
the body was working for the general
advancement of the community. He
thanked the body for the honor con-
ferred upon him, and made a stirring
address.
He said he considered one of the
most crying needs of Newberry at
present to be hospital. Thirty pat
tents, he said, had been sent away
from Newberry since January l. How
many others wer there, he said, who
needed hospital treatment, but who
were unable to bear the expense OF
going to a hospital away from home,
and how many lives and years OF SUI
fering might be saved to the people
of the county by having hospital for
the whole county located in Newberry.
He called upon the hospital COM
mittee for report, and the following
report was submitted and was adopt
ed:
Plan for Building Hospital.
eve beg to submit the following as
our report:
THAT we have ascertained that the
physicians of Newberry have had in
view for about year the building OF
hospital in Newberry, S. c.; had begun
working up an interest in it to the ex-
tent of appointing a committee to soil

tions amounting to about $4,000; had
estimated the costs to be $4,000 to
$4,000 for a ten-bed hospital; that
plans having been for it to be owned
and controlled by the doctors OF this
city without any other stockholders.
And that this committee after call
ing the doctors of Newberry into con-
sultation looking to hospital, and ex-
changing views concerning basis up
on which hospital would be provided
for we recommend: rHoI' IHo'
suitable committee of five be appoint
ed from the chamber Of commerce to
meet with an equal committee from
the doctors of Newberry for the pur-
pose of organizing a Newberry Coun-
ty Hospital association, to be a stock
company with $4,000 capital, shares

DR.. SUN TAKES
OATH OF OFFICE
First President Of New Repub-
lie Of China.

Marking, Jan. 3.-Dr. Sun Vat Sen
has taken the oath of Office as pro.
~visional president of the Chinese re.
public and has been formally invested
with the powers of chief executive.
The ceremony was simple but digni
fed and was attended by all the prom.
inent men of the revolutionary party.
In the audience chamber, an i'm
mense apartment in government house,
delegates representing eighteen prov
inces of China proper took up their
positions around a raised platform.
When DR.. Sun entered all bowed their
heads. The president elect proceeded
to the central platform and there he
took the oath of Office.
Afterwards he delivered an address
in which he promised to disenthrone
the Manchus, to r~e-establish peace, to
promote trade and to devote his en-
tire energy to the Chinese nation and
aid the Chinese people to realize their
aspirations. When the Manchus had
finally abdicated and peace was re-
stored to the nation he would, he said,
resign his provisional office.

Taft and La Toilette fCg1eS''t
to KitaW
OSBORNE Fathers The TT
Michigan Governor Wants the Colonel
or Former Senator Beverage to
Head Republican Ticket.

Lansing. Mich, Jan. 3.-Governor
Chase S. Osborne, in a statement here,
proposes that President Taft and Sen
ator La Toilette both withdraw as
presidential candidates in favor Of
Theodore Roosevelt or ex-senator Al
bert J. Beverage.
The governor had prepared a speech
to this effect to be delivered in intro
ducing Senator La Toilette here, but
in view of the senator missing his
train he authorized the use of the
speech as a statement of his views.
Governor Osborne criticised Senator
La Toilette as having taken up those
things which might be termed popular
that contained the least danger to
himself" and frankly said that he did
not believe that the senator could be
either nominated or elected if nomi-
mated.
AS between La Toilette and Mr.. Taft
he said he was for Taft. Governor
Osborne further said:
1.-THE Senator La Toilette style of
campaign tends to arouse the pas
sions of the people and makes for a
condition of public intolerance which
is always worse than personal or in
dividual intolerance, because it has so
much more might as n force.
Must Have Big Business.
an Senator La Follette's speeches
and writings-and in this connection
let me say that | have taken and en-
joyed La Follette's Weekly and
am a subscriber to it now-I do not
think he distinguishes between hon
est men in big business and dishonest
men.
1--WE have got to have big business
in this country, If we are to compete
in the manufactures and transactions
of the world. But big business should
not be permitted to Cypress the peo-
pie.
Il have noticed also that while Sen
ator La Toilette did great work in rid.
ding Wisconsin of corrupt railroad
domination he has never said anything
against brewery domination in that
state. Really, as between the two, i
should prefer railroad domination.
However, it was good politics to fight
the railroads in Wisconsin, but it
would not have gotten Senator La Fol.
lette anywhere probably IL he had
fought the brewery owned saloons.
What | wish to make clear about
this statement is that the senator
has taken up those things which
might be termed popular and that con
tanned the least danger to himself.
Now this may be entirely unfair, but
/ have thought it and do think 1t still"
