PROPOSED HOSPITAL
MEETING TONIGHT TO DISCUSS
MATTER OF SITE.

A meeting has been called for this
eevning, September 10, at the high
school auditorium to choose the site
for the new hospital. There are now
over 100 stockholders who will de-
eide by vote where they wish the hos
pital to be. However, anyone inter-
ested in the project is invited to be
present TO discuss the subject.
The prevailing opinion at present
is that the hospital should be located
at some easily accessible place in the
city and yet far enough out to get
away from the noise of the trains and
business traffic. Patients of nervous
temperaments complain bitterly OF
the noise of switching engines, so II
will be well to choose a site which
will be as far away al practical from
the railroad switching yards.
Anyone having a site for the con-
s~ideratioh of the stockholders will be
ahle to propose it at the meeting and
have it voted on at that time.
1t is thought best to choose the
site at this time as there are enough
stockholders to act wisely in the mat
ter and ii will answer that first ques-
ton asked by anyone interested in
the new hospital: Where is 1t GO
ing to be .located?"

Government Will Act on Any Specific
Information

Washington, March 11.-Profiteer-
ing in seeds was charged by Secretary
Housto nand Food Administrator
Hoover in q joint statement tonight,
which said that prompt action in such
cases would be taken whenever spe-
cific information was submitted.
Many complaints of abnormally high
prices are being received.
without adequate distribution of
seeds at reasonable prices there is dan
ger that acreage will be lessened and
that seed of poor quality will fre-
Guently be used" the statement said.
"If such conditions are to develop, it
would seriously impair our national
food propaganda"
Dealers under federal license were
warned that If they engaged in such
practice they would be dealt with Sc
verely.
Tribute was paid to "patriotic"
State associations Of seed growers and
the war service committee Of the
American Seed Grade Association for
cooperation in preventing excessive
profits.

Speech that Cost John l.. McLaurin
Seat in United States Senate

One of the most striking thoughts
in the last letter Of Senator Banks is
in reference to McLaurin's stand on
ship subsidiaries. In November, 1902.
Senator McLaurin delivered an adj
dress to the Southern Cotton Spilners
association in Atlanta, Ga, and in it,
not only called attention to our lack
of ships, but to what Germany was
doing in this respect.
N"Great Britain is spending two
million a year in mail subsidies in ex-
cess Of her receipts. France, Japan
and Germany are spending millions
each years and together they have
driven the American merchant flag
from the high seas. There are mil
lions of American money invested in
ships that run under the German and
English flag, because this government
is blind to the Importance of ships.
Remember that being under a foreign
flag in case of war, these ships built
with American money will be used
against us.
"This will strike the south terrible
blow when war does come, because
our only money crop is cotton, and it
is an export crop. These merchant
ships become warships in time of
war, and cannot be built here after
war comes. Look at Germany. Her
kaiser is one of the ab1est living men.
All of his powers are bent to the pro-
motion of German interests, and the
extension of German commerce, the
employment of German labor and
markets for German products. Made
in Germany is becoming trade
slogan the world over.
"He is doing it by government sub
sides to ships and railroads, i'm Asia
and South America and Africa. He
is building up German shipyartls and
the subsidies are on the condition
chat the ships are built by German la
Dor in German yards. Both exports
and imports passing over German
railways, leave a part of the freight
remitted to the ship delivering same
TO increase its earnings. In addition
to this he has inaugurated a system
OF preferential rates to the German
manufacturers from the railroad for
goods exported into the competitive
markets of the world.
"This is really bounty which en-
ables the German manufacturer to
undersell his English competitor in
China or South America.

ship, with it's American crew under
Old Glory, put in a position where
1T can carry American goods and sell
them in competition with any coun-
try.
Until very recently commerce was
not deemed proper subject for gov
ernmental consideration. There is no
direct department or commerce in
any government except that of Ger
many. The moving considerations

REVOLVING NITRATE FUND
Byrnes Puts it in Urgent Deficiency
Bill

Washington, March 12.-Special:
While the amendment to the agricul-
tural bill to make revolving fund of
the $10,000,000 for the purchase of nj
trate for resale to farmers was being
discussed, James FI Byrnes, of Aiken
who is member of the House appro-
priation committee, actually secured
the adoption of an amendment to the
urgent deficiency bill providing this
identical thing. The House recently
passed the bill carrying the Byrnes
amendment and the Senate agreed to
the amendment this afternoon. There
fore when the agricultural appropria.
tion bill comes up for final action the
matter of the revolving fund will al.
ready have been settled so that the
nitrate money will be constantly at
