Shall Bates County Have Hospital

Shall Bates county have q Hospi-
tai? 1t is public improvement
which has been needed in this coun-
ty for many years = would be the
means OF saving money, valuable
time and more precious than these
the lives of our people in many cases
Many times it is too expensive i'r
a person, needing hospital. care, to
go to a neighboring city for treat
ment There are business men,
school teachers and many workers
in, all lines who, having no perma-
ncnt home in this county, on becom-
ing Ill must either depend upon
friends for proper care (since nurses
are not usually aEailable) or must 60
to a city hospital at great expepti-
ture of tine and money.
In the case of epidemics many
people would go to hospital, were
one near, in order to receive better
care than can possibly be given any.
where else Doctors could care tor
many more patients i'll an efficient
manner ia hospital and save lives
many times. Diseases could also be
kept in check easier and no doubt
many lives saved Doctors would
not be handicapped by improper pro-
visions and circumstances as they
are now. Yet in case OF serious
illness we could still have those dear
to use near instead of far away a. Il
necessary now many times.
The levy necessary to build i
good, well equipped hospital lis only
a mill-and what is that amount
compared with the life OF some ont
we love?
If Bates county wishes to nI,in-
tain H., name as progresslv. coun-
ty she must make proper MEDICAL
care possible just as she has rrovid-
ed good schools and churches. Let
us all work together and have a
county hospital of which We may
Justly be proud.

tMACSWINEY IS DEAD
The End Came to Lord Mayor OF

i London, Oct. 25.-Terence Mac
Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, died at
Brixton prison, this city, at $40
o'clock this morning. His death fol-
lowed Il hunger strike OF more than
seventy three days, eclipsing any i'll
the annals of the medical world.
MacSwiney, who had been uncon-
scious several days, did not recover
his faculties before he died.
Father Dominic, his private chap
lain, and his brother, John Mac
Swiney, were with him when the end
came.
MacSwiney was unconscious thir-
ty-six hours before his death, it, is
stated Father Dominic, therefore.
was unable to give him communion.
but he administered extreme unct'en.
i John MacSwiney and the chaplain,
who had been visiting downstairs in
the prison were told by prison Off
cials at ABS o'clock that they should
Ego to the mayors bedside, as they
thought death was approaching.
4 When Father Dominic and John
MacSwiney arrived the lord mayor
was lying motionless with his eyes
open, but unconscious.
Father Dominic whispered few
prayers, but the dying man did not
recognize him. The priest then recit-
cd the prayers for the dying, while
the brothers, the nurses and the four
doctors, including the expert adviser
of the home office, stood by.
! Father Dominic and John Mac
Swiney then retired to allow the doc
ftors to do what they could for the
lord mayor One of them injected
strychnine. Father Dominic and tic
lord mayors brother in the mean
time were repeating rosaries in
Gaelic in another part of the ward.
\ The MacSwiney family arranged
during the morning for the removal
of the body from the prison to st
Georges cathedral in London, as
soon as the inquest was ended. The
body will lie in state there until it is

Miss He,.ninc has been member

To obtain her start in club work
she borrowed $3.50 from local

TOTAL IN 27TH
TO PASS 1000,
IS PREDICTION
Both Sides Appear Conf
dent In SheriH's
Race

The heaviest vote ever cast in the
history of Sumter county, according
to old residents, was being polled in
todays Democratic county primary.
A fair day and intense interest in the
outcome of the contests provided
combination that brought the voters
out as never before.
The total registration for the
county was slightly over 2,400, the
exact number not being reported by
Tax Collector Small. OF these near
ly 1900 were in the 9th or Ameri-
Gus district. AT AS o'clock this af-
ternoon IT'S votes had been cast at
the court house, the voting place for
the 9th district, and it was freely
predicted and expected that the to-
tai for that district would pass L.
600 easily before o'clock, the clos
ing hour. Reports from tie other
districts in the county were that
similar interest was being shown
everywhere, with partisan workers
busy IN each district for favorlte cam
didates.
Little confusion resulted in the
9th district, apparently over the
double ballot, the white containing
the names of the county school SUI
| perlntendent candidates and the col
ored ballot with them omitted. The
voters seemed generally to under
stand that those living wIthin the city
limits of Americus were not permit
ted to vote on superintendent, and
no efforts to evade the committees
/ ~, tki. ri toI
The election board had been instruct
ed to throw out any woes violating
this rule.
The candidates and their workers
were thlckly posted about the court
house today, providing tickets tor
their frienas and soliciting votes,
| While many voters were open in their
declaration of whom they were sup
porting, it was remarked by one can-
dldate that he had never seen so
many secret ballots in an election in
his life. This was observed by others
to be true, indicating that the voters
were dong more Independent voting
! than usual.
While there was high interest in
several races today, the most intense
/ interest was in the sheritf's race.
Sheriff Harvey and his deputy, Tom
Summers were at the court house all
! day, as was j. l.. Glawson, Lle.r op-
ponent. C. r. Malone, Mr.. Glawson's
announced choice for deputy, was ac-
tive at Leslie in his home district
which is also the district from which
Mr.. Harvey came when he became a
deputy sheriff of Sumter coun,y sew.
eral years ago. Mr. Harvey and his
supporters were generally sangulne
OF the outlook, beng certain OF ylc-
tory, although they all concede that
the result likely would be close. On
The other hand, Mr.. Glawson and his
supporters appeared more than hope
FIJI, and were waiting only for the
closing of the polls and tne count
ing of the votes.
The voting places all over the coun-
ty, except IN AAnericus, closed at 8
o'clock. The closing hour In Ameri-
Gus was o'clock.
