HOSPITAL wYEEBE BUILT
Committee Appointed to Select site.
Bnildlng 10 be n County Affair and
Cost About $4,000

The Bryan County Medical Associa-
tion met in regular monthly session
in this city Tuesday Of this week, and
formulated a plan for the erection Of
a county hospital where these of this
locality desiring treatment can b.
served at home, anfp 6iot need to go
away.
A committee of physicians and lay
men was appointed which will select
sits for the hospital, buy the site
get the deed and make all prepare
tions for commencing work OF raisIug
funds for the erectidnkot the building.
The Physicians committee comprises
Drs. shuler, Smith and Armstrong.
The committee of laymen is as fol-
lows:

Kemp-R. b. Lemon

Mead-John Franklin.
At an early date after the SELECTION
of the site, mass meeting of the citi-
zens OF the county WIN be called, when
funds will be taken iip by public sub
scription for the erection of the build
ing, and with the proper public spirit
manifested, it is probable that the
money will be easily raised.
1t is thought by those of expert
ence in such matters that such hos
pital, properly located, and under
good management, would be self sup
porting from the start, Each church
in the county will be asked to equip
ward and Il is probable that each
incorporated town and city as we'll as
the county will equipp one.
There will be charity wards, where
the paupers and deserving poor of the
county will be treated free II they are
without funds, but those who have
funds of course. VIII be expected TO
pay for care and tyeatment.
The hospital proposition is the most
deserving public enterprise that has
been launched in this county in ;lone
time, and the enthusiasm for it. Is
growing every day. At present It Is
necessary for pefs6iss@ who wish .tc
have even minor surgical operations
Ito go to Sherman, Paris or Dallas for
hospital service, while when, the hos
pital is built here If will be much
more convenient.

NEW YORK, Nov. There was a
slight recovery after the first few
hours of trading today, from the Sc

clared that the remarks of Jacob Schiff.

reports in regard to the remarks OF
Mr.. Schiff which caused the break yes
terday.
Indicative of the difficulty which the
corporations are facing in financing
their needs is the apparent failure of
the city of Chicago to dispose of its
bonds, which it Is offering over the
counter. Only $4,000 were sold on the
first day, out of total of 81 $50, 900
which must be sold.
The date for subscriptions to the new
bonds of the New Haven, of which
$67. 900 are to be put out, has been
advanced from November Is to Noyem-

market today was the London copper
market, In which the price of the metal
slumped 10 shilHngs.

a big drop in the price Of the common,
it slumping from 5S%. at which 1t open

One Of the reports out today to ex-
plain the drop of yesterday was that
Lawson was making drive, and SELL
