HAVE 7. B. WARD
Board So Decides Monday-Win
Care for 2O-Cost to Be
About $4,000.


Lincoln County will have a special
ward for the care and treatment Of
Lincoln county tubercuaar patients in
the State Sanitarium at Magee. The
new two and half million dollar
building. in which Lincoln, Jones.
and two other counties will have
special wards, will be completed Jan.

Will be enabled properly to care for
twenty of its tubercuIar victims. as
against at present. The movement
to have a special ward for Lincoln
county met with unanimous APPROX
al, OF the board of supervisors at the
Monday morning meeting of the
Board.
Members OF the board, and others,
who made the trip to Magee last Fri
day to Investigate the proposition of
special ward, are enthusiastic ov-
er the institution and its manage
ment. DR.. Boswell. head Of the in
stitution is unquestionably the high.
est authority on tuberculosis in
North America, stated J. @. Brister,
president of the Board in discussing
the trip. In giving out data on
tuberculosis DR.. Boswell stated that
1t had been shown that each tubercu-
lar person infected, on an average,
ten Others" continued Mr.. Brister.
S. B. McNair, Chancery Clerk,
who made the trip with the board,
added that in addition to the IA pa
tients on the waiting list from Lin
coin county, there were 48 others
in the county afflicted with tubercu-
losis. At present only three from
this county are receiving treatment
at Magee which is greater number
than the county is entitled to under
the present quota.
A special ward for Lincoln coun-
ty Is the only solution to grave sit
uat1on that the board could see,"
said Mr.. Brister, "and so we have ar
ranged for ward. 1t will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. DR.. Boswell
thinks 1t the only way to stamp out
the dread disease, and the board
heartily agrees WITH his view"
The new institution will accom-
modate 800 patients, in addition to
the rs already there, it was stated.
1t will be the most modern sanitar-
ium OF its kind in the United States
according to opinions of the highest
authorities of the nation, and the
best managed. DR.. Boswell was a
victim of tuberculosis for twelve
years, finally effecting his own cure.
The board stated Monday morning
that any one visiting the institution
and seeing the great work being ac-
complished there, would be heartily
in favor of the move made by the
board in having special ward for
the care of Lincoln county sufferers.
1t was also learned from reliable
sources that both the Masonss and
Odd Fellows are to erect institutions
at Magee, to be under the direct su-
pervision and treatment of DR.. Bos-
well. This was decided after both
Orders had made rigid and exhaust
i've investigation of the methods and
treatment of the state institution
there.
Members of the Board making the
trip were ]. @. Brister, r. p. Null

Others to accompany the board were

dy, Bert McNair, Grover Storm, Har-

McCravy having departed a few days
before the close of the meeting to
meet a similar engagement in Rich
mond, Va. Mr.. Robert Cooper of
Jackson acted as substitute for Mr..
McCrayy Thursday and Friday.
Thorough reorganization of the
Sunday School, church census, and
the holding of series Of noon meet
ings for men at the Arcade Theatre
were features of the revival.
Mr. G. II. Dean, Superintendent Of
the Sunday School, co-operated fully
with DR.. Entzminger, and about for
ty new teachers and officers have
been added.
At request. Of DR.. Entzminger, the
Brookhaven Flying Squadron held a
service at the Baptist Church Sun
day afternoon at 800 o'clock. Mr..
Meredith Wood, leader of the SQUAD
ron. presided, with Mr.. S. A. Walk
er as choir leader and Mr.. Frank Par
sons as pianist. Mr.. e. NJ. Bee gave

Guess, John Lipsey, NJ L. Everett,
Geo. R. Powell, OF Jackson, Edgar
Green, Hayes, w. G, Maxwell, w. w.
Henderson, Ferd Schnorrenberg,
Causey and Captain w. S. Rutter.
Rev. J. A. Taylor and Mr.. ]. A. Maui
led in prayer.
DR.. Entzminger made an address.

was presented DR.. Entzminger by the
church, together with hundred sent

ing themselves Of the privileges OF
Church and Sunday Schools else
where.
resolved 2nd-That we accord to
every Baptist the right and privilege
to affiliate with the Church of his
choice. but that the Scriptural and
logical way would be to contribute

the building up the Cause of Christ
in his own vicinity, especially where
a church organization already ex-

Of our members to observe the Spirit
Of Christian comfy toward our

BASEBALL

The year. of 1921 saw Grand Forks
aga.n without league baseball. but in
spite of the fac. there was considera-
bic activity in that line. The main
attraction was the professional team
put in the field by John F'adden. The
aggregation played quite lengthy
schedule and put up a brand of ball
that brought good good crowds to the
park before the a vas over. In-
dependent baseball drew much
support here, and it is probable that
Fadden's team was better received
than any since the days o fJthe OLD
Picketts. The local independents
closed the season with by far the larg-
est percentage on the win side.
There were several amateur inde-
pendent teams. cher among which
was the Great Northern. This aggre-
cation was an exceptional outfit and
played a fine schedule.
