made the effort and through that eff

6. That the Patton Hospital Asso-

agreement, claiming that they were
not bound by the unofficial agreement

knowledge or authority if they had
net accepted the fruit of the agreement
By accepting the money they are NOR
ally bound to accept the agreement
under which the money was obtain

action, and were morally bound by
any agreement they made in the prem

The comm ,ttee appointed at the
last meeting of the Greater Henderson
Vile Club to act upon the information
and report made by previously ap-
pointed committee to examine into the
merits of the controversy between the
! directors of the Patton Memorial Hos
Pital and the committee represent ng
| the. G. w. N. G. Association regarding
the division of sum of 1000 appro-
rriated by the county commissioners,
has made the following statement:
1. That two members of the Great
er. w. N. c. A. living in or near FIetch-
er, be- ng desirous of helping to raise
the amount assessed on Henderson
County by the G. w. N. C. A., devised
means whereby one of the two in the
exercise of his legal choice should

81 900 a year extra into the Hender-

BILE the Henderson County Commis-
sioners to make donation to the G.

g. That the Henderson County Com

and therefore were not again asked to
do so.
8. That without the discovery of this
aforesaid extra $1,000 it was believed

therefore would not give more than
$500 or $500 to the Patton Memorial
