Ssr.-The name. Retreat for the
Sick In my humble judgment should
appeal 10 everybody who was ever
sick and also 10 everybody who ever
expects 10 be sick, and II should ap-
peal especially to country people who
cannot have the advantages offered
In city. namely, doctor. trained
nurse drug store, suitable food. etc
The idea Is this. Encourage the coun-
try people to take part in the build
ing fund campaign and help TO make
II grand success and We will feel
that II is our hospital--your and
mine. the sick mans home, where
he Will have the greatest chances for
recovery. n he is able to pay. he
should do so: II not. why then Il IL
the SICK poor mans home as well
In this day OF automobiles a patient
can be removed to the hospital with
out risk or delay. Brother Farmer,

ses left the stand this morning
after twelve o'clock, and Mr.. Don
Gillian for the state opened the
counseiS argument, 10 the Jury.
After Adjournment for lunch Mr..
q. Nj. I. Fountain. for the defencn
opened the argument and went
carefully over the facts Of. the
case as shown by the defendants
witnesses, in order to impress the
jury that the accused has been,
for some time unaccountable.
s<s1Isa=es principle witnsss, and in
fact the only one that made any
impression on the jury, for the
defence, was M. Bio,lnt Of Bethel
brother in law of the accused, who
stated the amount OF money that
he had advanced him in recent
years. Mr.. Blount was so OfOrce-
ful and clear in his statements
that there was a noticeable effect
made upon the juryetaointaoin
made by him upon the jury.
This was largely offset during
the morning hours by the forty
OF fifty rebuttal witnesses called
oy the state.
After Mr.. Fountain finishes Mr..
Marvin BlOunt Of Greeilville also
for the defence, will address the
jury, then will come the argument
Of the solicitor, Mr.. Il. @. Ais
brook Of Tarboro following whom
will speak Mr.. F. S. Spruill OF
