Last Sunday was the day select
ed for the dedication of the new
Bolivar Baptist Church, 1t was
the intention of the committee in
charge to serve to the public a free
dinner in the court yard. All
arrangements to that effect were
completed; but, on account of the
weather, and for other satisfactory
reasons, it became necessary to
change the entire program. Rain
poured down in torrents Saturday
night and continued to fall up to a
late hour Sunday morning, prevent
ing the attendance of many from
the country. Notwithstanding this
fact, a large crowd was present.
The seating capacity of the church
was overtaxed and many were COM
PEELED to remain outside to hear DR..
a. J. Holt, of Nashville, one of the
most eloquent Baptist preachers in
the south, who delivered two able
sermons, one at ii a. m, the other
8 p. m. A collection was taken up
in the forenoon for the purpose of
assisting in liquidating the debt up
on the church, Nearly three hundred
dollars were subscribed. At the
conclusion of the morning service,
dinner was served in the old church
building. The repast was enjoyed
by several hundred. There was
superabundaDce of everything good
our markets afford, wholesomely
prepared, promptly and courteously
served. An attractive feature OF
the days program was the music.
Mrs. G. NJ. Savage skillfullY presid
ed at the organ, and choir of train
ed voices, local talent, rendered
many beautiful selections. The ded-
ication service was postponed in
definitely.

justment of the lines OF the Third, Fourth
and Sixth wards. in the interest of equali-

significance whatever, and it is needless
to say 1t will not b. passed unless the
law is clear to authorize the action.
Two of these wards are preposterously
small while the third polls more h the
average vote of a ward. All three are
generally Democratic, though the Third
and Sixth were cut out to be Republican.
AS the wards stand at present. ten of
the twelye-all but the Seventh and
Eighth-are surely Democratic. they have
been carried in every election for three
years. 1t is well to remember, also, h a

The Proposed Freeholder Enquiry.


It is a pity that movements, like that
which was rumored yesterday to probe
the doings of the Board of Freeholders.
are so often started at periods when the
cry of campaign agitation Immediately
suggests itself. The present Board is now
nearing its end. January 1 next will see
more trustworthy set of men in charge of
the county's affairs. The public hav
therefore little to gain from any ~investi-
cation or exposure, for practically all the
money tina this Board win have to spend
is spent.
In the case of the rumor which was
abroad yesterday, the purpose of the en-
quiry can hardly be partisan in he rdi-
nary sense. The majority of the Board
of Freeholders are Republicans and the
petition for a commission of enquiry is
i~nstigated by two Republicans and engi-
neered by a Republican lawyer. But, none
the less, the purpose of the attack is
obviously political; it is an e%lectioneering
movement and the mere fact that personal
anger instead of political greed is behind
it. is only a detail.
On the whole, we hope the petition will
not be granted by Judge Lippincott. The
Investigation would cost several thousand
dollars. n it would nave no practical
result. The people know already that the
Board is rotten and that the only way
to secure good administration next year
IS to fill it with respectable Democrats
instead of reckless heelers of the Repub-
lican ring.

The GERMAN HOSPITAL
A Fair Is to Be Held in Aid of
the Scheme.

A meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society
Of the German Hospital and Dispensary
Fund Association was held last evening
at the quarters of the association on
Ocean avenue near Warner avenue. There
were about SIXTY members present and
the fall work was discussed in earnest.
The Ladies are very enthusiastic over the
prospects of erecting a German hospital
within the coming year and this coming
fail promises to be a lively n for the
ladies.
About the first of October was the date
decided upon to hold a fair In Greenville,
the proceeds of which Will of course be
turned over to the treasurer for the
hospital fund. The fund has increased
very rapidly since the project was
Iaunched some four months ago. and the
members are of the opinion that If the
movement continues TO be SO successful
the hospital will be a reality within eigh-
teen months.
The fair which the ladies are arranging
for will be held for one week and any
donations to the fair may be sent to the
secretary at. the headquarters. No. 52f
Ocean avenue. A number Of contributions
nave been received already. In order that
the hospital work may be established on
a firm basis it was decided to incorporate
the organization. Ex-Judge Henry Puster
has been retained and the Incorporation
will be accomplished before October next.
Both sections of the association are now
of the opinion that it will be well to start
the hospital modestly by erecting q frame
building large enough to accommodate
twenty patients and then as the fund
grows to increase the building. A COM
mittee will be appointed within a week
or two to look after a suitable site upon
which to build. Aid from several German
societies is expected when the hospital is
orao+aJ
