> A Charity Hospital.

At the conclusion OF a most excellent
sermon last Sunday morning, Rev. A.
\. Brunson announced that a lady IN
formed him of a suggestion made by a
gentleman of this town, who IS not a
member OF any church, that a charity
hospital be built here, and that he
would contribute $500 for the cause.
The name of the man was not given,
but the minister stressed the fact that
the man is not member of a church.
The proposition is a good one and we
hope it will be acted upon. 1t is all
right to profess religion, but it is al
together another matter to demonstrate
faith by works. The mac whose heart
goes out to the suffering, and who de-
sires to provide the means to succor
them. whether he processes religion or
not. or whether he belongs to a church,
has Il religion that the multitude should
crave: such a religion is more pleasing
in the sight of God. than hundred
actionless professions. Love thy
ueighbor" is one of the fundamental
principles of all religions, even the
heathen, at the mothers breast is
taught the doctrine. and yet it is a mat
ter OF every day notorle,V that our lei
low beings are permitted to suffer
without succoring hand u alleviate
their pain. Men, women and children
within ear-call are permitted to die for
want OF proper medical attention. and
this TOO, in civilized, cultured, COM
munitv, under the shadows of churches.
\ man who is not a member Of any
church comes forward anu proposes for
this town to provide the means where
the poor may get the benefits of skill
ful attention, and with his proposition
he offers to give a nice sum. Are
there anv others to come forward?Yes,
we know of another who will give lot
10 build the hospital on. The lot con-
uains one half acre about one block
from the court house square. We en-
dorse the proposition heartily and we
hope the good ladies will 60 to work,
form hopital organization and not
stop until they have raised a sufficient
sum to erect and equip the building
and then we also hope our town au-
thorities will look after its maintain
ance. If there is any way that we can
aid the enterprise we hold ourself
ready for orders.

speaker, made few preliminary re
marks. and when he announced the
name of Smith. the whole audience
made such welcoming demonstration
that it was several minutes before MI.
Smith could proceed. The speech was
characteristic of the man, eloquent,
forceful. logical and full of wholesome
instruction and earnestness. WHAT
he did for the class who are gong
about trying to disparage the assocla-
ton was plenty. His argument that
cotton is 4 world necessity without a
competitor. and that the South has a
monopoly of the staple was exceedingly
strong and convincing. He compared
! il TO flax, silk, wool and the other weav-
ing fibres. and claims that cotton has
driven these out of competition.
That bv determined organiza-
ton. the past has already demonstrated
what can be done to develop the South
in every material way. 1t takes but
small raise in the price to realize a
vast amount OF money. He said that q
raise of one cent a pound will put
$4,000, 900 into South Carolina alone, not
into the pockets of few, but each and
every one gets his Drorata share He
contends that the association has only
just begun its work, what has been
done in the past although it accom-
plished so much. was but the skirmish-
ing for the great battle to come. Or
ganiZation and capitalization for the
control of our markets is the aim, and
through the standard warehouse system
this will be accomplished. The speaker
laid much stress on the market con-
troll feature of the association. He said
that he proposes to put the organiZa-
tion into a huge corporation with u
large capital, and have buyer at each
cotton market in the South. a mini
mum price will be fixed by the associ-
atiop, and the man who Is forced to
sell before that price is reached will
sell to the associations buyer and he
will turn the key upon it in Il ware
house If it becomes necessary money
will be borrowed upon stored cotton,
and the Bears will be driven out OF
the market He cautioned his hearers
against being fooled by Price and his
bullish movements. He made great
hit when ir a moment Of DEPRESSION he
told his hearers that they spent six
months buying grass. and the other SIN
months killing it. and sit is ruinous
mistake" said he
The entire address was replete with
the soundest of advice. well and mag
nifciently put, and although he spoke
for one hour and twenty minutes the
audience gave him the closest atten-
ton. and regretted when he stopped
speaking. Mr. Smith is confident that
before the new crop of cotton comes in
the price will be over Is cents. and
gave very strong reasons for his belief.
Captain \. L. Lesesne of Silver made
a motion which was unanimously adopt
ed that the ginners of Clarendon meet
with the executive committee the first
Monday in June to consider the matter
of collecting the ten cents per bale as
sessment. The meeting was harmonious,
and merchant, banker, lawyer, and
farmer all were greatly encouraged by
the address.

4 SAD TRAGEDY AT LANCASTER
A Serious Difficulty Results Prom
Seemingly Trivial Matter-Wound-
ed Man Popular.

Lancaster, S C., Special.-J. Hascl
Withcrspoon, the popular manager OF
the Lancaster Mercantile Company,
of which Col Leroy Springs Is pres
ident, was dangerously shot Saturday
by DR.. f. S Mellow, practicing phy-
sician Of Lancaster. The difficulty
occurred i'll front of the company's
store and the particulars are about as
follows:
Mr. Witherspoon IVES standing talk
ing 10 Mr. Samuel Roberts, a farmer,
from whom he had just bought some
cotton. when Dir. Mellow walked up
and asked Mr. Witherspoon something
about the company refusal to send
him a lamp which he had ordered. Mr..
| Witherspoon replied that the doctor
had not treated them right about Il
baby carriage, referring TO Il previous
matter. DR.. Mellow struck at Mr..
Witherspoon over the shoulder Of Mr..
| Roberts, who was standing between
them, knocking off Mr.. Roberts hat.
". Med. Brown. clerk In the store,
ran up and struck Mr.. Mellow, knock
ing him down. As the doctor arose
be began shooting with revolver
which he had drawn, firing three shots.
| Two of the bullets struck Mr.. Wlther
spoon, one in the body, entering the
lungs, and other hitting him on thte
wrist One bullet struck Mr.. Brown
on the finger.
Mr.. George Heath, manager of the
Heath-Jones Company, and others ran
up and stopped the shooting, Mr..
Heath placing himself IL front Of Mr..
Witherspoon and begging DR.. Mellow
lot to shoot him again.
DIR. Mellow was arrested and taken
% jail by Sheriff Hunter and police
men. The sheriff first disarmed the
doctor, who had two pistils. AS soon
as conveyance could be secE-ed Mr.
Witherspoon was carried to lis home.
II addition to a local physician he IS
oeing attended by Dr.. Prayer Of Ches-
.er and Drs Fennel and Stevenson of
Rock Hill, the latter having been
brought to Lancaster on special trains.
The physicians regard Mr.. Wither-
spoon s condition as being extremely
critical. They say there is some hope
eor him, however, if pneumonia does
not set nor abscess forms around the
bullet, which, they think, lodged in
the lung.
The shooting has cansed intense ex-
element here Mr.. Witherspoon is
one Of the most popular young men in
Lancaster, being universal favorite
and the entire community anXiously
awaits tidines from his bedside.
