The Hospital for Tupelo.

The representatives of Lee
county, Messrs. Carothers, How
erton and Spradling, at the open
ing of the session of the legisla-
ture introduced a bill in the
house to locate a hospital IN
Tupelo.
Two years ago a similar meas
ure failed after it had passed the
senate, being introduced in that
body by the late lamented Or.
Broyles, then senator from this
district. It failed to pass the
house. because the session was
we'll nigh ended. Large appro-
priations had been made and the
legislators felt that they could
not burden the state with the
additional expense of locating
and building another.
At that time Tupelo was prac-
ticallv the only candidate in the
field, and had the measure be-
come a law the hospital would
have been located here.
No sooner had the bill been in
troduced in the present session.
than other towns came forward
seeking to secure the coveted
prize. An amendment was Of
fered by Representative Smith.
of Clay county, to substitute the
name of West Point for that of
Tupelo. This brought on a fight
and the matter was continued
until Wednesday of this week.
During the past week Corinth
and Holly Springs have entered
the fight, and our representa-
tives have found themselves con-
fronted with opposition that was
not anticipated at the opening of
the session. The ability of Lees
representatives, however, can
not be underestimated, and we
confidently expect to see them
land the plum.
Tupelo's location, its accessi-
bility and the great number of
people it could serve, makes it
the logical point for a hospital.
Every local advantage-light,
heat. water and good streets
which should be taken into con-
sideration are to be found in
Tupelo. None of the other towns
can compare with Tupelo in these
matters. Patients can be brought
to Tupelo from a much greater
territory at less expense than to
any of the other places. With
these advantages there should be
no contest and, in our opinion.
any contest will result in the To-
cation of the hospital here.
North Mississippi needs state
hospital and is entitled to it.
We have always bourne our pro-
portionate share of the expenses
necessary to support the state
hospitals which are located in
South Mississippi. We are so
far removed from these hospitals
that our people find it necessary
to seek relief in the hospitals of
Memphis, in another state, and
the time has arrived when these
conditions should be changed.
In the introduction of the bill
the representatives named the
hospital the Eliza Robins Hos
pital, for one of Tupelo's oldest
and most honored women, one
whose entire time is devoted to
works of charity and good deeds.
1t is a fitting tribute to Mrs.
Robins that this home for the
needy and afflicted should bear
her name.

jackson Letter.

Jackson, Miss January 12-
For the information of your
readers, who do not have the op-
portunity to read the large dailys
take this method of giving
them some information relative
to the work now being done in
the Mississippi Legislature. One
of the greatest needs confront
ing Mississippi to-day is the en-
actment of a safe, sound and
legitimate Banking Law, and l
feel that this session of the Leg
islature is going to pass such a
law, yet there still remains be-
tween the aggitators of the mea-
sure and the trainers of the Bill
difference of opinion, and that
! difference is trying to be worked
out and settled before the meas
ure is presented to the House.
There is a strong sentiment
among the members, especially
from South Mississippi, to call a
Constitutional Convention. But
Hon. S. j. Owen, of New Al
bany. Miss, threw a bomb into
camp this morning, when he in
troduced resolution, submitting
to the voters of the State of Mis-
sissippi in a special election to be
held February Goth, giving to
them an opportunity to express
their wishes as to the calling of
a Constitutional Convention.
This resolution has not as yet
passed the Senate, but if it should
then it would be left to the voters
of Mississippi to decide whether
or not they want their organic
law changed.
A number of the good ladies
of Mississiapi are vigorously
pushing the Woman Suffrage
Movement, but it seems that as
l'yet they are not having very
much effect on the law makers.
Some. however, have expressed
themselves as willing to support
the measure if the women will
now, forever, and hereafter per.
nit the word "Obey" to remain
in the marriage ceremony. Hon
estly and frankly it is not the
opinion of the members of the
legislature that the great major
ity of the women of Mississippi
want this privilege.
| am thinking now that there
is going to be an amendment Of
fere6 to the interest law as
passed at the last regular session.
All the law makers that have
expressed themselves seem to be
we'll pleased with the working of
the law as regards to the eight
per cent provision, but many
claim that the State is failing by
some unexplainable means to de- |
rive a revenue from a large sum
of money that is perported to be
loaned at six per cent, when
really a higher rate of interest is
paid.
The representatives from your
County have introduced Bill for
the establishment of a State
Charity Hospital in the city of
Tupelo, to be known as the Eliza
Robins Charity Hospital and have
succeeded in bringing it from
the Elemosynary Committee,
with a favorable report, but on
its call on the floor of the House
| it was found that other nearby
towns, namely, West Point,
Corinth, and Holly Springs were
hotly contesting for its location
| in their city. Next Wednesday

SUBURBAN DAY
BOOSTS TRADE,
DEALERS STATE

Suburban Day, inaugurated yes
terday by progressive merchants Of
Perth Amboy was such success
that one proprietor declared that the
ordinary Wednesday was changed
from dull day resembling sunday,
from a business standpoint, to one of
lucrative trading, such as is expert
enced Saturdays. The concensus Of
opinion was that the mid-week sale
days should be contiD ued Iouaw t.
the great success of the first Subur-
ban Day, when fares were refunded
to shoppers. The average increase
of sales in most of the stores enter
ing into the plan were between -.
and thtrty-five per cent over the sales
on ordinary Wednesdays.
The dry goods merchants, the
house furnishers, the furniture deal
ers, the shoe merchants and dealers
in meats and groceries experienced a
larger increase in business than did
the mems clothiers and furnishers,
because of the fact that yesterday
the majority of the shopping was
done by the housewives while their
husbands were at work. However,
I06 men ClObnlGTS noticed h DOOM
in business over the ordinary We'd
nesday, and were thoroughly In
favor of continuing Suburban Day.
This was the unanimous agreement,
and Suburban Day by this fact has
become a permanent institution by
which fares will be refunded on one
day of the seven, and the thrifty
shoppers will receive part of the
profits in special bargain offers
which form a special feature of the
mid-week sales day.
The merchants are willing to offer
inducements on this day because it
is usually the dullest of the seven,
and they want to keep their stores
busy, Just as much as manufactur-
er wants to keep his factory work
ing.
I. c. Moore, dealer In shoes, said /:
1--WE had the biggest day since the
first of September on any Wednes-
day. / should think our sales for
yesterday would show twenty-five
per cent. increase over the average
