LARGE HOSPITALS.

We note that Elizabeth City is
soon to have $4,000 hospital. 1t
has often occurred to US why there
are not some large hospitals in this
State that the people might go in
stead of having to go to the hospi-
tails in our sister towns of Norfolk
and Richmond. You may talk about
the drain upon the the State on &C.
count of the money sent to Virginia
for whiskey, yet we might stop to
figure for little the amount that
goes out to various hospitals when
most of it could be kept at home if
we had some large we'll advertised
hospitals. 1t is true that great
many of the towns and cities of the
State have small hospitals and me- st
of them do purely local work, and
are full all the time. We want to
see the time come when a citizen of
North Carolina needs hospital treat
ment or it becomes necessary to be
carried to hospital for an opera.
ton they can go to one in this State
and receive the same treatment and
attention that any hospital car
give them in our nei shboring States
We are along ways behind in thi.
matter of hospitals.

Published Every Thursday
A PEANUT EAC1ORY.

The Merchants Association held
meeting one night last week to re-
celve proposition in regard to es-
tablishing peanut factory in Scot
land Neck. The proposition was
thought we'll Of by the members of
the Association present, and to this
end they decided to call a mass
meeting to be held in the office of
the Scotland Neck bank Friday af-
ternoon at 8 O'Clock, at which time
the proposition will be discussed
more fully and in detail. Every
merchant and business man in this
community as we'll as the farmers OF
this section are urged to be present
at the meeting Friday. Lend this
enterprise the benefit Of your pres
cnce. Come everybody and bring
your neighbor with you. Our town
and community needs this peanut
factory because it will enable our
farmers to get better price for
their peanuts and besides it will
give employment to large number
of people and last but not least it
will be one more enterprise for the
town. With little united effort
and some cash we can get this en-
terrrise. Then all together. Show
your interest by attending the mass
meeting Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock. It is a we'll known fact that
Scotland Neck is the largest peanut
market in this entire section Of the
State and there is absolutely no
reason why we should not have a
factory to handle them right where
they are grown. The money is here
to furnish what capital is needed
and put the factory to work in a
short time. We appeal to our bus
mess men and especially to our
farmers not to let this opportunity
pass.
The Commonwealth stands ready
and anxious to help in every way
possible. Let everybody put their
shoulder to the wheel and push and
the factory is assured. Friday af-
ternoon at 8 o'clock is the time and
the off >, of the Scotland Neck bank
is the ia e for the mass-meeting.
If you cannot come send your proxy.
