NEWBERRY COUNTY HOSPITAL.
List of Subscribers GiYen-DOnatiOns
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
Succeed

Elsewhere in this issue Of The Her
aid and News is published list Of the
subscribers to the capital stock of the
Newberry county hospital The sub
scriptions total about eight thousand
dollars The bulk of this was raised
on last Thursday, and the bulk OF 1t
comes from the city limits.
The subscription list is gradually
increasing, and there is every reason
to feel assured that the hospital will
be built. In fact, those who have
worked hard for it are determined
that the movement must succeed.
At the meeting to hear the reports
of the committees who canvassed the
wards in the whirlwind campaign,
there were a number of volunteers to
seek to raise one hundred dollars
more each in subscriptions, and the
list of those undertaking this has been
increased to forty. If these forty are
successful, as it is expected they will
be, their efforts will increase the sub
scriptions by four thousand dollars.
1t will be noted from the su5scrib-
ers that the county as a whole has
not been heard from as yet, ana the
various sections of the county are ax-
pected to subscribe to this nloveI.4n;,
which is movement for the whole
county.
1t was stated in the last issue that
DR.. Knowlton, of Columbia, had do
mated a new operating table. The
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, of Newberry, will equip a room,
and the Bachelor Maids have a fund
of one hundred dollars on hand with
which they will equip a room.
The Woman's Auxiliary, in the hos
pital movement has an active organ
ization, and much is expected from it.
In addition to the actual results
achieved in subscriptions, the move
ment has brought the business men OF
NeWberry into closer touch and closer
sympathy, and along with the great
object in view the effort is redounding
to the general good of the community,
