1t is our intention to give a sketch
of Clifford Seminary in some early
issue of The Times. Rather, let us
say, it is our intention to give brief
account of the life-work of a remark
able woman. Mrs. B. G. Clifford, who
is yet doing noble service in the cause
of education and in philanthropic
work of various kinds; and of DR.. B.
G. Clifford, now passed to his reward,
but whose labors are yet bringing
fruit to Gods glory and to human
ity's uplift. A remarkable woman
and remarkable man--and we are
determined to give them their just
place in the history of Union and the
moral and spiritual development of
our people.

If you should pass The Times
building in the dead hours of the
night and hear the steady stroke of
machinery in operation, do not be
alarmed. 1t is our night-shift op-
orator turning out work at a lively
rate. We have found that a $4,000
machine worked night and day can
perform wonders, and, so operated,
it lowers the cost of production con-
siderably.

The Times man made a hurried
rip over route s on Tuesday. Quite
number of new names were added

to come with us at later date. On
his trip we were piloted by our good

to know everybody on the route. For
dinner we had the pleasure of enter

1t would be worthy work for the
people of Union and Union county to
put some modest mark over the grave
of Major Steedman. There is now
no suitable stone marking his last
resting place. His body is buried in
the Presbyterian cemetery here. A
cross of honor marks the grave. There
should be some additional mark, and
the people of this county should see
to it that it is done.

The plan to increase the amount
of paid-in capital stock of the Union
County Fair Association is a move
in the right direction. The thing
never has had half chance. 1t
never did receive the support of our
people that it should receive. Con-
sidering the small amount Of capital,
it has been marked success. If four
or five thousand dollars more is put
into the enterprise its success will
be an assured fact.

Suspected of helng the outlaw who
held up and robbed the train near
Birmingham, Ala, on February 49,,
and made away with $4,000, John

ployed at the Woodside Cotton Mills
as a weaver, receiving a salary of a

When arrested RadliH denied hav-
ing any connection with the robbery,
but acknowledged that several years
ago he was convicted of a similar
offense. A search of his room where
he boarded revealed that he had on
deposit in the Norwood National
Bank of Greenville, the sum OF
$4,000 and in an Atlanta bank some
thing like $4,000.
Five railroad detectives are here
working on the case. Two other sus-

The advisability OF calling a special
meeting Of Council to consider put
ting before Atlanta's taxpayers. in
conjunction with the next county
election, a $75O,O00 bond issue for i'm
proyements at Grady Hospital, is be-
ing considered by Mayor Woodward.
The idea of coupling the hospital
issue with the plaza proposition was
considered at a joint meeting of the
hospital why's and means committee
and the Councils Plaza Committee
held in Mayor Woodwards office
Tuesday afternoon, and the general
opinion was that each issue should
stsnd on It's own merits, and be
placed before the people separately
also that the hospital scheme be
launched ahead Of the plaza propo-
sition.
II Council considers the campaign
can be carried out successfully in six
weeks, 1t is likely the hospital bonds
will be submitted to the people at
the election in May II 1t decides the
campaign can not be carried out In
such short length of time it is likely
the election will be deferred until
August
Mayor Opposed to Joint Vote.
At the outset Mayor Woodward exF
pressed himself as being opposed to
combining the two issues into one
lump sum, and his attitude caused
the committee to agree that the hos
pital bonds should be severed from
the plaza bonds
The Mayor said that the issues
should stand on their own merits, and
that the elections should be held at
the same time He was also opposed
TO the idea of placing such an i'm
portant issue as the hospital question
before the people in so short time,
1T would be fatal" he said. You
have got to educate the people and
that can not be done in six weeks"
The Mayor however, was hearty in
his Endorsement OF the plans for i'm
proving the hospital and though he
did not say to what extent he would
support the movement 1t was con-
ceded that it ultimately would receive
his Endorsement.
DR.. w. B. Summerall. superintend-
ent of Grady. urged immediate at
tention to the project and outlined
his plans for the expenditure of
$4,000 proposed for improvements
How Money Will Be Spent.
The plans include a nurses dor
mitory, to cost $4,000; contagious
disease sanitarium for whites, $125,-
900; hospital building for negroes
s125,0O0; children's hospital, $4,000;
new outdoor clinic, dispensaries, lab
oratories and other facilities, 100000;
boiler room, laundry, orderlies' quar-
tiers and other buildings of like ma
ture, $4,000. and $4,000 for the pur-
chase of a strip of land now used as
a street to isolate the hospital
In conjunction with his plan, Dr.
summerall proposed building wing
for white pay patients only. He es-
timated the cost to be about $4,000.
With this acquisition he claimed the
hospital would be in position to pay
off the interest created by the bonds
al well as to create a sinking fund to
take up the bonds when they ma
tured
According to his estimate, the
maintenance of the hospital. with the
improvements planned, would require
an appropriation of 100000 annually
from Council, and added that with the
cooperation of the county, from
which $4,000 should be derived an
