FOR a SIMS HOSPITAL.

We have frequently urged the need
of a local hospital and have more
than once suggested that it should be
named in memory of DIR. J. Marion
Sims, Lancaster county's distinguish
FED son. After reading recently in
The Columbia Record an editorial on
DIR. Sims, in which the editor, who
has always been profound ad-
mirer of the great physician, asks
what has become of the proposition
10 erect monument to his memory,
it occurs to us that Lancaster might
agitate the question and secure the
monument in the form of a hospital.
We are publishing today The
Records tribute to DR.. Sims. Would
the Legislative appropriation for a
monument" be aailable for a me-
mortal hospital and would not the
>outh Carolina Medical Association
prefer to give it's contribution to
erect a memorial which would serve
mankind as well as remind them of
the great and good DR.. Sims? This
being the case we suggest that Lam
caster offer site for this hospital
and try to secure the legislative ap-
preparation and the contribution
from the doctors of the state. Better
a granite shaft than no monument
to DR.. Sims, but best of all would be
a hospital devoted to the healing of
his people. And could there be
found in this commonwealth more
appropriate location for such a hos
pital than Lancaster, the town in
which he spent his boyhood? The
people of his native county have no
hospital. He left money for the
erection of the county almshouse,
which was built and named the Sims
Home. Let the people of his native
county and those of the town in
which he was reared bestir ourselves
to memorialize in an appropriate way
the foremost surgeon Of his day. If
the suggestion we have made is not
practicable, then we might try an
other method of securing a hospital,
which would be a constant reminder
of the great healer even as it would
also serve as a place of healing to
those in need.

COL. SPRINGS OPTIMISTIC.


The opinions of man Of rccoe-
nzcd business Judgment always
carry weight and when those opin-
ions come IRON one who is also vel,
Known to us personally. they are even
more convincing. Therefore. thu
following, from Cotton, an Atlanta
| mill publication. containing "A recent
interview with our esteemed fellow
townsman, Col. Leroy Springs, will
be of decided interest hereabouts:
Mill men talked with recently all
feel convinced that we have turned
the corner, and business has finally
adjusted itself to the new conditions
brought about by the European dis
turbance. People generally are more
optimistic. The situation is very
noticeable and pronounced. Undoubt-
edly, the early future of this country
promises period of prosperity re
Sulting from renewed internal deVel-
opment, as well as from a large share
I in the world trade. Manufacturers
say that there is every indication of a
very active autumn and winter bust
ness in textiles. With d very much
smaller crop OF cotton, and with a
market price nearly double that of
last November, the South is very far
from that buy-a-bale period and needs
no help from the federal treasury.
I'm an interview with Col. Leroy
Springs, president Of the string OF
cotton mills at Lancaster, Kershaw
Fort Mill and Chester. South Caro-
lima, he stated that the reported
shortage of the cotton crop is unques-
tionably true. and that II looks as if
tn" crop will be considerably under
twelve million bales He thinks the
farmers are in better position to hold
their cotton crop this year than they
have been in several years, owing to
the fact that they have made this
crop very cheaply, due to the small
amount OF fertilizer used. He stated
that he does not believe cotton will
sell for much under 12 cents this sea-
son, and this price will only be tenn
porary, and that consequently mills
viii have to get better prices for their
goods. Col. Springs said that the re-
cent heavy demand for goods in both
colored and grey goods indicated that
ii would only be short time until
the manufactured goods would be on
a parity with cotton, and 1t would
then be a question of supply and de-
mand. There is a smaller amount OF
goods in the hands of the mills and
18th the jobbers and on the shelves
OF the retailers he said, than
there has been in years. owing to the
past years depressed conditions in all
textiles.
The small crop Of cotton that is
being raised and the active demand
Tor 1t, has put new life into the tex.
tie business, and / expect to see.
goods go much higher. and I antici
pate that there will be an active de-
mand for all goods that Southern
mills can make irrespective of the
shortage OF dyestuffs.'"

the buying is good and be content in
