'CIBCULATIOIf 2,334.~ J Wednesday, May 29.1907. Columbia is to have another hospital to be erected at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. The new mill ka knilf if. ia in f.VlO I in Idie way that would hinder these good^ women from carrying out thair plans f-ar the betterment of the hospital, that has cared for so many Colombian's and those living in almost'everv* section cf the State, since its inauguration some fifteen ; years ago. Judge Brawley has decided that the South Carolina labor contract law is null and void. Thb case has been be: fore him for several weeks, and it has been the general opinion ^all along that he would so decide. It remains to P .he seen what effect the decision will have on the farmers, who, as a matIter of fact, will suffer most, and at whom the law was directed. However, some are of the opinion that it will greatly help the farmers; others think it will demoralize labor all oyer I the State, where farmers have been obliged to make "advances," either in money or provisions. It looks now like the time is not far distant when farm labor will have to be secured the same as other help; that is, pay off at the end of the month or every Saturday evening, and eliminate altogether the disastrous practice of making"advancej" at the oeglnning of the year. The reason why the people of Lexington county are independent to-day is from the f^pt that they perform their own work to- a large ex|i tent and, therefore, what they make is theirs, and they are always happy f- and content. According to dispatch from St. 'r, ."Matthews to The State a mass meeting was held at the Red Store, this -county, last Friday to determine whether or not the citizens of Sandy ^ .Run Township were in favor of a new -ccuSfcy with St. Matthews as the county. The meeting is reported as being very enthusiastic and a great majority voted in favor of the scheme. It seems that there is good opening in that section for some missionary work in opposition to this scheme. Couldn't some of our public spirited citizens, who have the interests of ?heir mother county and her "dear - peepul" so near to their heart (espe* - 1? ? ? ?^ o f.ciaiiy every two years} lane Of Jtn | weeks off and endeavor to nip this movement in the bud?

The commencement issue of The Columbia State this morning is calculated to inspire the educational interests of the whole country. It is a fine piece of journalism and in keeping with the progress of that newspaper. The State is working hard for education in South Carolina, and results are bound to follow. ^ i S fi.::' ' .

The same of the hwfcitation will bo St. Lake's hospital, and will, in a sense, of the Knowlton sani !( taxjpm, since Dr. A. B. Knowlton is 4feeprinciple promoter of the new undertaking. The Columbia Hospital, under the esculent management of Mrs. D. R. Flenniken for many years, has made . improvement after improvement until to-day it is the equal of any hos pital in the South. Mrs. Flinniken, with the assistance of the ladies' hospital association, which is composed ofsome of Columbia's noblest women, has Struggled hard to make the institution a success; and their efforts have not been futile. Had it not Been for these same women, no doubt the hospital would have been a failure. We trust that St. Luke's hospital is not to be built oq account of rivalry, but because Columbia'* rapid growth demands it. The Columbia Hospital is in charge of a lady Directress, Miss lean T. Kay, a graduate of Johns-Hopkins hospital, and is very distinguished in her profession. The ladies of the hospital associaP4 taon are now working to secure funds h. tor the purpose of improving and better equiping the present hospital, and it would be rmiust to olace anything: One would not have to know tl this is commencement week in Li ington. The stranger within < gates can easily observe that there "something doing'' on the pi Jolly, good-natured visitors on ev< side; handsoms women wearing e gant gowns, and gallant young 11 grace our thoroughfares from ea in the morning until late at night, enjoying the generous hospitality our people.

We sympathize with The Gaffi Ledger in the loss it sustained by Saturday. $one but those who h gone through with the same exp ence can fully appreciate the" sit tion. But with the undaunted cc age that has always characterized life of Editor DeCamp, The Led will be published as usual. Was It Democratic? To the Editor of The dispatch: The information so far given out to the establishing of a dispensary New Brookland,wctald warrant the lief that the county dispensary boa for some reason or other, disregan the will of the majority of the c zens of that town, and fail to si why they did so. Under the rules of democratic p: ciples a business man may* be he just as the common man is hea but to say that the business men o: town may fix a nuisance upon t town contrary to the will of the i iorifcv of the citizens., of that town, to say to every self-respecting n and woman of that ' town that tl should go to another town to trans their business. Our forefathers set us the right ample in dealing with those who hi no regard for anything but that wh promotes self-interest. Democi are supposed to know and regi democratic principles. I confess t if the statements given out as to establishing of a dispensary at IS Brookland be true, then it is just hard to see the democratic princi in it as it is to see how men grew 8 denly rich on a salary of $400 a y while serving on the State board dispensary directors. Let us have old time honest dem racy, which put no difference betwc democrats because one has moi enough to keep store and anot may be a day laborer in a cot mill. Democrats cannot consistec stand for undemocratic measures. JOAB EDWARDS Leesville, May 24. We return our thanks to Presid D. B. Johnson, of Winthrop colle * J?
