Between $4,000 and $4,000 will
be expended by the Alabama Baptist
hospital board in tho construction Of
q 3o-bed hospital at Enterprise, Cof-
fec county. for the use OF tho terri
tory contiguous to Enterprise. This
announcement was made Saturday by
DR.. L. J. Bristow, superintendent Of
the Baptist hospital in Alabama. fol-
lowing q meeting OF a special COM
mittee which selected Enterprise for
the first hospital.
Tho location of the hospital at En-
terprise follows a survey of the
state, which caused the COMMITTEES
to reach the conclusion that the
greatest good could be done in that
territory. The plan Is to locate small
hospitals in various sections rather
than to construct one large general
hospital which cannot be reached by
all people who will need its atten-
ton.

who have been condemned to penal
servitude for crime. In so far as in
formation at thu capitol goes, it is
the first state prison In tho south
remodelled and arranged for the care
and correction of women.
Governor Kilby Saturday an
nounced that the old penintentiary
at Wetumpka, the first building OF

government OF the confederate
states was organized in Montgomery
has been renovated. remodelled and
improved and that all women inn

Do Away With Dungeons

by the state in changing the prison
for the use Of the women. The
four by seven-foot. brick cells into
which went human beings at night
fall durinE the period now known as
Alabama's dark age have disappeared.
Not a brick was left as reminder that
at one time the state sanctioned
the coping OF humans into an in
closure hardly large enough for
standing, where there only solace
came in their prayers for tho end
of tho night and the coming of the
light of another day. The old whip
ping post which stood at the en-
trance to tho dungeon room was torn
away. There were many who be-
lieved the dungeon room and tho
whipping post should be permitted to
remain and to furnish contrast be-
tween the prison and the past. but
Governor Kilby and the convict de-
partment reasoned that 1T would be
