topic before the club Miss Florence Spot

Nothing New" While the lady established
the fact that the women's desire for equal

the subject in very novel manner Rather

DR.. Eugene Jones, who represents this
county in the State Senate. has prepared
for introduction in the legislature a bill
providing for the establishment of county
camps or hospitals for the treatment of
INDECENT persons suffering from tuberculosis.
The measure will provide that each coun-
ty which receives no hospital appropriation
from the State. and in which there is no
tuberculosis hospital for indigents, may
raise by taxation or private subscription
not more than $4,000 year for a tuber-
culosis camp. The State shall contribute
an equal sum. the total to be used in con-
Quoting local camp or hospital along
lines similar to those of the State sanato-
rum at Sabillasville.
Control Of the camp in each county is to
be vested in a tuberculosis commission to
be composed of the president of the Board Of
County Commissioners, the president of the
County Medical Society. a member of the
State tuberculosis Commission and two
others-One to be named by the County
Commissioners and the other by the COun-
ty Medical Society.
The commission shall have authority to
purchase property for the purposes Of the
camp. make such provision for equipment
as may be necessary and within the ap-
preparation. Provision is also made for the
services of physicians.
Persons suffering from tuberculosis are
to be admitted to the camps upon certif-
Gates of members of the county medical
societies. preference to be given to indi-
gent persons.
In the event of the bill becoming law
there Is believed to be little doubt that
immediate steps would be taken to establish
such an institution in this county.

Abolish The Road Commission.

Whereas, the State roads are now oper-
ated by Republicans in a very extravagant
manner, entirely beyond the ability Of the
poor farmer to pay such taxes. and he is
even forbidden to thrash his grain by
traction engines, therefore suggest a bill
be offered to abolish the Road Commission
and IL this fail. then defeat the appropria
ton necessary to maintain the nuisance.
One-half the same money placed in the
hands Of the County Commissioners. to be
used in stone on roads, would bring better
results to the farmer.
