Yorkville, following the ex-
ample OF Greenwood, Newberry
and other towns, is trying to
raise money to build hospital.
The suggestion, we believe, was
first made by the Rev. II. j.
Cauthen, pastor of the York vile
Methodist church, in sermon
recently preached by him. He
emphasized the value to every
county OF public hospital loca-
ted at the county seal. The News
has been striving "off and on"
for a year or more to awaken
interest in Lancaster upon the
subject of establishing hospital
here, but our efforts have thus
far borne no tangible fruit.

representative citizens to take
the matter in hand and push III!

The discussion OF lynch law as a

little comfort TO her to know
that her assailant has afterwards

The question of self. protection
is one which should be kept con-
stantly in the foreground. Every

than select the senior senator of

nation would be a real test Of wheth

sectional prejudices
We doubt the wisdom Of nomina-
ting southern man at this time
Colonel Henry Watterson. editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal saws
that no man who ever wore the
gray can ever be president. This
was his reply to a suggestion that
the brilliant editor of the Courier
Journal be made the standard bear
err
Senator Daniel is classed as Gro
among the most Accomplished ora
tos. and his knowledge Of consti.u-
tional law is hardly excelled by any
of the veteran United States eeua-
tors He has heer member of NE
senate for more than twenty years,
and no man in America is better
versed in national affairs.
We hope the time is not far away
when the south may again feel that
she is entitled 10 a full share in 'hc
councils of the nation, and will have
no hesitation in presenting one Of
her favored sons for the highest Of
