Mr. W. P. Con-rs offered a motion to this effect, which was passed by the Board of Trade. There was an unanimous desire for Dr.

Bruce to act as chairman of this Board of Trustees when i he idea was first suggested, but he slated that in as much as he had been identified with the movement for ipiite a while, he felt fhat it was c.ily right that someone who had not so long he selected for the MM. waT Gasolene The International En gin XT 4 IDEM runners, thrrshermen. dairyme a. machinists, printers, c-i-nenters. butchers, manu fiictur n.

At the regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Trade last night, alter the matter of the new cotton mill had been disposed of, Maj. Chas. E.

Hard gained the permission of the chairman to speak a few words to the audience betore the meeting adjourned. Maj. Hard spoke briefly, and was followed in his remarks by Mr. G. W.

iSirrine, who also spoke briefly. Remarks were heard from one or two others and that was all. The next move was on the part of the Board ot Trade, when it unanimously endorsed resolutions offered by the Greenville Hospital Association, to tne eitect that the Corbett Home be purchased for use as a oity hospital. Maj. Hard was.

as has been stated, brief in his remarks before the gathering. He stated that for years and years the Hospital Association and other organizations had been endeavoring to csta.ili.sh a city hospital of some type in the city. He spoke of the little Emergency Hospital maintained by the Charity Aid Society and the city at the headquarters of the Salvation Army on East liroud street. Maj. Hlard said tnat the Hospital Association had perfected arrange-, inents with the proprietors of the Corbett Home tthereiiy that Institution could be purchased for a' sum very much less that It cost, for use as a city hospital.

He stated the terms of the proposition made by the owners of the Corbett Home, and the means on hand by the Hospital Association. Very little more was necessary. The Board of Trade then endorsed the resolution offered. Maj. Hard stated that the Corhett Home had been offered the Green, ville Hospital Association for The conditions of the offer, he stated, were that $4,000 be paid down in cash at once, the balance to be paid In installments, at convenient dates.

Maj. Hard stated that the Hospital Association had on hand enough money to meet the first requirement of the proprietors of the Corbett Home. He then asked what about the balance. The fioard ot Trade authorized the purchasing of the institution. i The Corbett Home, as is well known, is a model structure, built for the purposes of a sanitariumis the western section of the city, off Pendleton street and adjacent to the baseball park.

The sanitarium was discontinued some time ago, and has been standing vacant since. While the building is in other than a centrally located section of the" city, no better site could be had for a hospital. As was pointed out at the meeting last night, it is removed from the the grind, the hum and the other noises of the city's downtown streets. It was stated that as patlens suffering from nervous dls eases were so often confined to a hospital, it was necessary that such an Institution be as far removed as possible from the business district of the city. The speaker went on to ex-lines of the most Improved public engineers, bottkrs.

One thousand and eii'ht hundred dullars more than that amount was almost immediately sui.sc-ribed, and the promoter of the miil was telephoned to this effect. 'I iie message brought hack the reply that the liuneun Mil! would be built on Greenville soil.

Pandemonium lid Mot break loose, as it might have done in other cities. Those who made PEN position. It was with reluctance that Dr. Bruce was allowed to decline the offer as chairman or the Board of 1 rustees. The committee from the Municipal League, the Board of Trade and the Municipal League decided on this plai as being the best that could be nad at this time being, as it is, centrally located in the retail district, accessible not wily to the main landing of the street railways from the depots but "rom the various livery slables and hitching posts, lots etc.

As one of the members of the Hospital Asso. elation stated, the building could bought now for $20,000 and that within some four or five years th property will have so Increased In value it could be sold for $50,000, or even more, and the money used to erect any style of hospital that the city mlghf desire.

Quite a number of persons have recently been carried around to the guard house by an officers and deposit the one dollar ban required In the cases where a person is charged with spitting on the sidewalk. Most of these have forfeited tile bail by not appearing in court and by so doing have practically pleaded guilty to the charge.
