Col. Crittenden was 80 years old,
ane one of the city's oldest and most
respected citizens.
He had been much depressed over
the death of his wife several weeks
ago, and this, coupled with other
troubles, had much to do with his
sudden death. He was one of the
best loved men in Greenville, a Con-
federate veteran, and only yesterday
he took an active part in Memorial

Charleston Wants Hospital.

Charleston, May 3.-Charleston is
competitor of Columbia for the
erection of a memorial in this State
to the late DR.. and Mrs. Simon Ba-
ruch, formerly residents of George
town, but later of New York, where
DR.. Baruch attained great distinction
in the practice of his profession, the
claims of both cities being now un-
der consideration for the erection of
the proposed memorial at cost of,
perhaps, s1D00,000
DR.. Baruch visited Charleston the
latter part of March, when he took
the matter up with several of the
physicians and surgeons with regard
to the memorial. He visited the
Roper hospital and Riverside in
firmary, and also the South Carolina
Medical college, in company of the
doctors, and was pleasantly entertain
ed. Nothing of decisive character
has been done as to the Charleston
memorial. The parties to the con-
ference have put Mr.. Baruch In pos
session of certain information which
he desired, and outlined in general
way a form which the memorial may
take, preferably in the way of a
large' and well-equipped, modern
laboratory at the Medical college,
but it was not expected that any i'm
mediate conclusion would be reach
ed, and the Charleston parties have
not been advised as to when a decis-
ion may be expected.

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
DIR. H. B. Baruch Will Build One in
This State.

The State says Columbia will prob
ably have an opportunity to secure
charity hospital costing about ST.
100000, the erection of which, it is
understood, is contemplated by
former South Carolinian, now one of
the wealthy physicians of New York
City.
The report is that DR.. Herman B.
Baruch, of New York City, is investi-
eating desirable points in this State
with view of placing such hospi-
tai at the most desirable point. This
charity hospital will be a memorial
to his late father and mother, DR..
and Mrs. Simon Baruch, formerly
residents of Georgetown.
For such a hospital Columbia Of
fers many and superior advantages,
as the climatic conditions are ideal,
and with the steady growth of this
city and the State of South Carolina
at large, such an institution located
at Columbia would mean much. This
was brought out at a meeting Tues
day at which the situation was dis
cussed.
The medical fraternity, as well as
the Columbia people, will offer every
inducement to secure the memorial
to his father and mother, former
South Carolinians.
Physicians of the State have avail
ed themselves of the present hospital
facilities offered in Columbia. How
ever, with the increasing growth of
the community, present facilities are
not ample.
Information as to the erection Of
this memorial reached Columbia as
a rumor; however, it is known that
there has been a meeting of the
medical fraternity to outline the. ad-
vantages of the city and offer such
inducements as would attract DR..
Baruchs attention favorably to Co
lumbia.
