My wife left the dining room, and
beckoned for me to follow. Out of

Robert, what did you mean awhile

Il meant that I don't want Edna
to get such nonsense into her head at
her age. Why. she isn't IA years old

And how would you stop it,"

What will you do?" I wanted to

Well. I haven't decided yet. But
I think I'll say nothing about 1t for

Edna may discover that she doesn't

many a father has plunged his daugh-

Is all tho more reason for caution.
Surely, Robert. you will leave this TO

have been received by some passen-
gers, deter any one from sailing.
Reports from Washington that it
was privately known in official quar-
tiers that the Lusitania was to be tor
pedoed at the first opportunity gave
color to the opinion expressed in
| shipping circles tonight that the EN-
bassy's warning was intended to ap-
ply particularly to the L~usitania.
Anger Shared by Americans.
Nothing that the Germans have done
since the outbreak of the wal has
aroused the anger and determination
of the British people as the sinking
of the Lusitania. This anger is shared
by the Americans in London, who had
relatives or friends aboard. Members
of the stock exchange insisted upon
the withdrawal of all members OF
German birth, although nationalized.
At many places throughout the coun-
try, these n~ationalizeG British sub
jects were made to suffer for Ger
many's action. In one large ship
building plant at Wallsend the work
men threatened to strike unless those
employees with German names were
discharged, and the company although
badly in need of workmen, was conn,
PEELED to grant the demands. German
BARRIERS and other Germans, whose
presence in the country has been toll
Grated since the war began also found
themselves boycotted. But there have
been no disorders of any kind. q

and was 785 feet long. Her gross tom
mage was 1880 and her net tonnage
9,145. She was owned by the Cunafd
Steamship Company, Ltd; of Liver
pool. Her captain was w. T. Turner
The Lusitania was a product OF tho
race for speed which was carried on
for years among transatlantic steam
| ship companies, particularly of Eng
! land, and Germany. When the LUIS
itania was launched, she was the Won
| der of the maritime world. Her mast.
cry of the sea from the standpoint OF
speed was ~undiSputed.
Marine engineers were particularly
interested in the great engines by
which she was propelled. Instead OF
the usual type of r~eciprocating en-
gines, her builders installed turbines.
These engines developed an indicated
horsepower of 10000, driving four
shafts, each of which carried a three
! bladed propeller.
The Lusitania had accommodations
of $50 frst-class passages, 500 second
class, and 1900 t~hird-class.

There are a few of the pledges OF
10000 unpaid, and it is sincere
ly desired that those who pledged
contributions at the mass meeting at
the court house, in 1912, will pay the
amounts subscribed. Such payments
could be applied upon the outstanding
Indebtedness for current expenses.
With that obligation disposed of and
with the present prospects of the hos
pital's gradual growth in popularity,
it would be self sustaining.
The past winter was very dtscour-
aging from a financial standpoint.
There were a great many charity pa
tients cared for without profit to the
institution. No one has been refused
admittance to the hospital by reason
of, lack of funds.
The opportunity for some c~haritably

Much credit is due to the people of
Flat Rock who have contributed so
generously of their means and work
for the hospital. By their persistent
efforts, Mrs. Trenholm and Mrs. John
Patton have collected about $1,0OO.OO
and the summer residents of Flat Rock
have been generous In their eontr1bu-

Provision is made for the dependent
poor who are unable to pay for medi
cal treatment. There are four wards,
two for men and two for women, ded
iCated to charity. Two beds in the
male ward were endowed by the Yves
ley Adult Bible class of the Methodist
church, and one bed in ward furnish
ed by Mrs. Mary Cant. Within the
last year the operating room has bee
~splendidly equipped for surgical work,
and the money necessary for the same
was contributed by the ladies Of Fiat
Rock. From information received from
reliable sources we believe the oper-
ating room of the Patton Memorial
hospital is equipped second to nons
in this part of the country.
There is a capable graduate trained
nurse superintendent, under whose
care foul nurses ~arelreceiving excel
lent training and are being instructed
by the staff of physicians of the hos
pital, composed of all the leading ply
sicians of this city and Flat Rock.
The people of the country have re-
Sponded nobly to solicitations for con-
tributions to the various sales held by
the association to raise money. The
opportunity of the country people to
still assist is unlimited. Contribu-
tons Of vegetables, eggs, poultry,
milk, butter, fruits, jellies, ETC., would
be a great help by reducing the bills
for such necessities.
In building the hospital, it was nee
essary to incur a large debt, as the
contributions were only a small part
of the whole cost Of the building. This
debt doomed as an insurmountable
obstacle before the association and
threatened and discouraged its mem
bers to the point of despair.
At this desperate epoch in the Pc
Rod of the short history of the hos
pital struggle, an ingenious legal mind
suggested a means of relief from the
building debt by way Of a small taA
levy upon the county; so small that
the people would scarcely be conscious
of it's existence and still the total
amount bring sufficient to liquidate
the debt in building the hospital.
Acting upon that suggestion, friends
of the hospital association petitoned
the last session of the legislature to
pass a bill providing for the hospital
debt by levying a tax of n mill to
each dollar of the county taxes. The
bill was passed and the building debt
thereby provided for.
That debt being disposed Of by this
small taxation, only the debt for cur
rent expenses and some furniture re-

are focused at the present moment,
studied in quiet seclusion today the
aspect of law and fact in connection
with the sinking byfa German torpedo
of the British liner Lusitania with a
consequent loss Of many American
lives.
The great human tragedy coupled
with the responsibilities of the hour
caused the president to deny himself
to all callers, even to members Of his
official family, while he turned over
in his mind the course to be pursued
by the United States government in
one of the most serious crisis in its
history.
Washington, May 9.-What action
the United States Government will
take as a result of the sinking Of the
British liner Lusitania with a loss of
more than "a hundred American lives
is tonight an undetermined question.
President Wilson, during the last "a
hours, has been studying every phase
of the case from its legal and human
itarian aspects. That he feels deeply
distressed over the incident and re-
allies the people of the United States
expect him to express in some pro-
nounced fashion their indignation was
indicated by the statement issued from
the White House last night.
