Don't fail to read Bill Arp's letter oar inelde sheet. It contains some gc points of history. Henceforth the palmetto ia not to the emblem of a proud State, but portent of jim jams. The spring revolution in Nicaraug min full blast. Each country has ween, we have thc spring poet they t revolution. Thc cotton factory and the bospi' are both needed, and both enterpris eau be carried to success if tho peo] will bot pull together. The Supreme Court ban decided tl the net authorising the ?sue of the n< 4J per cent Sute bonds Ss legal. 0 law suit, at least, ia settled. Conservative favorers of the Dispe fury, law most be scarcer tHn hex teeth, inasmuch as Gov. Tillman cou not find eves one m Sumter Conn*y go OB the county board cf control. The new Cunard line Steamsh Campania, has brocen the record ia h recent trip across the Atlantic. T! time from New Fork to Queenstoi was ive days, seventeen hours ai twenty seven minutes. The committee of doctors appoint? by Governor Tillman to decide upon tl asaity of Lorelle, the Charleston wi murderer,, bes agreed to disagree, ai the question as to whether he will hat or not ts as unsettled aa ever. The Memorial Oration delivered i Rev. John Kershaw in Charleston c last Wednesday was a' very able pr< daction and has elicited much of vet favorable comment by the press of th Sut?, and also we notice many papei outside of the Sute complimenting very highly. The Bank of the Carolinas i Florence, S. C., with branches in difiei est places is this State and Nert Carolina closed its doors yest erda] No canse is given for the failure, and is said that arrangements will be mac fer resuming business in a few dayt It is a calamity to Florence. The people of Georgetown treat tbei Lord High Mayor worse than Sam ti? des* her vagrants. That is, if we accei the following paragraph from th Georgetown Times as evidence : "Th Mayor will have to work like a horse t repair the damage done to thc street and sidewalks by Tuesday night1 rsm." ; The Marion Star gives the dispen saryites the following deserved dig no der the ?hort ribs : "It looks decided! suspicious that the W. C. T. U. an? the prohibitionists, generally, sfaouh he exulting over the fact that "we ar to have pure liquors'* io cons? queno of the dispensary. Who would hav supposed that such folk were connois sears rn such matters." The Assistant Attorney General, W O. Buchanan, Esq., has rendered tb? opinion that the stock, carts, etc, o towns and cities, coming ander persona property, are subject to taxation foi State and County purposes. This maj be good law, but from a layman's pois of view, it seems to be s strained con? struction for a purpose. Is not the per? sonal property of the counties subject, then, to taxation for State purposes? The Civil Service Commission will soon succeed in making Civil Service a jest instead of a reform, if they eon? tinue prescribing such ridiculous exam i nations as the test of qualification for appointment. Secretary of Agri? culture Morton relates the following in? stance: "I appointed a man as door? keeper over here the other day," said he, "and the civil service commission notifies me that they object to his appointment. And what do you think were the reasons of the commissioners? The man failed to conjugate a Greek verb, and it was an irregular verb at that." Secretary Carlisle is getting rid of the chiefs of division in the Treasury De? partment as rapidly as possible, much to the disgruntlement of said Repub? licans. These men have held office for years, and from their conduct, seemed to expect to bold on indefinitely, conse? quently when Secretary Carlisle asked for their resignations they raised a kick. Ctrlisle is right, for all import? ant positions should be filled by men in symptthy with the administration, and not its enemies who will hamper i Mgr ead of ailing the ex-cut mn of the policy of the President and Cabinet. The Columbia fag?ster, the "willing but weak" organ of Tillman, must be bordering on a state of collapse. J. I?. M. Irby, U. S. Senator ; B. R. Tillman, Governor ; fi B Gary, Lieut. Governor; John L.

The Georgia papers, the Atlanta Ct stitution and Savannah JVcrrr notsb ere much exercised over the polit racial situation io this State. Betwe them many disasters are foreseen, t emigration of the Leg roes en mass, t assumption of political control by thei or perhaps an irrepresible conflict extermination between the races, wi insinuations of worse things to ceci While none of these things a probable, yet the advertisement Sou Carolioa ia getting will not be induct of immigrants from abroad, nor eren parsing visit of foreigners, who, aft seeing the World's Fair, will make tour-of the country. They will hast< through South Carolina, without sto as American tourists do through tl bandit infested principalities of fiurop Senator Butler has appointed Re pr eentative Roper, (Tillmanite) of Mai boro, to be his private secretary. 3en tor Butler may think he is bettering h chances for re-election by propitiate certain of thc Tillmanites with gifts office, but we give it as the opinion i one who is on the ground, that he throwing away the bare fighting chan? that be bas. The Conservatives SJ not men ?ho seek victory by tho pu chase of the enemy. They fight froi principle and for principle ^nd will coi tioue to do so, no matter how often the may be defeated by mere fores of nun hers. Senator Butler's course wool seem to indicate that he is fighting fe the office, and he is now alter iacrcasin bis following, even if he bas to hit mercenaries. He has already alienate many who wouM have supported hit from principle, and when the teat come the hirelings will flee from him. Il however, he prefers the hired frieodshi and support of Ben Perr". Cai Caugh ?an. Dan Roper and others of tba stripe, to that of the Conservatives, w shall not complain, and can assure hi? for ourselves that one Conservative, a least, will not seek to follow him. Then are others of a like mind. THE HOSPITAL. The movement to establish a ho? pi tal in th is city is safe in tb* hand of the com mitte that bat charge of it | but a few words in its behalf in th< way of bringing the question before th? public on its meiits will do no harm. Surgery at this time is vastly different from what it was twenty-five years ago, and the success or failure of op?ration and treatment depends largely upon the appliances that the surgeon has at hand. It is for this reason that any person requiring any important or dangerous operation is sent to a hospital by the surgeons of the country and towns where there is no hospital. It is not bicaose tbey do not know how to per? form the op?ration? or fear to undertake them, but because they have not the appliances needed to insure the safety of their patients. The hospita) is needed here as an institution to care for the sick-poor of city and eounty who are now dependent solely upon private benevolence, and who cannot aod do not reoeive that skilled medical attention that is requir? ed and that could bc obtained in a hos? pital. It is proposed that the i?oepitat shall be a joint county and city institution and under the patronage of the County Medical Association of which all but a few doctors of the eounty are mem? bers. In this hospital the sick poor would be treated, and to it the people of this and surrounding counties would coBiO for ?killed treatment. The proctors of this institution anticipate receiving aid from three sources, vis. the county, ihe city, aod the Medical Association, reinforced by private subscript ions, lt is estimated that ?0,000 is all that is needed to establish aod fully equip the hospital at the start, and should its patronage demand an increase in its facilities there will then be no difficulty ie ob? taining the required funds. The hospital established, rhe support of it is assured. The various charitable associations of ladies in this oity an- j nually raise and expend in tbs care of the sick and destitute a sum sufficient to do much towards maintaining the j hospital, where these unfortunates would reoeive all the benefits of the best attention an 1 the most skilled ! treatment. We have confidence that the commit? tee will foru slate a y\*\? tba? w$ rs tommend itself to tbe public and secare be establish awol of the hospital. Sumter s growing sod it has reached tbe stage ifhere a hospital is needed. Sunday School Convention. OSWKGO, S. C., May 8ih, 1893. Ur. Editor :-The Annual Sunday School Convention, of Swimming Peas Township, Convened mt Rem bert's Church at ll a. m , Sai urda j, May C. The dny was all that could be wished for each an occasion and the well filled church evidenced the fact that the peo? ple of this township are thoroughly interested io Sunday school work. The meeting was presided over by Hon. H T. Abbot;, who, in an eloquent address warmly welcomed the convention to the "Historic Church of Rerobertg," and bespoke for ali, that hospitality which for so many years has- characterized* this community Tbe regular programme was then taken np the first part of which was a dialogue by Misses Micha?, McLeod, McKionon and Anderson, The remainder of the programme consisted of recitations by the following young lidies, Miss Mamie Andrews, Miss Lyle McKinnon, Miss Maud Aman, Mis? Outlaw arid Miss Wilson. All of the young ladies reflected credit on themselves in the rendering of their pieces, as did also Master Willie Mic bau whose appeal wttb the collection box was SD batan Pially rewarded. At the close of thia fe*, tu re ol the convention the Presi deal introduced the first of tb" invited speak ers, Mr. Tho*. B. Fraser, Jr., of Sumter Mr. Fraser in an earnest and suggestive address brought to the attention of the com? munity the principal features of Suaday achoo! work, ?st was introduced Rev. D Melvin MrLeod the Junior Minister of this circuit. Mr. McLeod made a thoughtful talk on the necessity of consecrated teachers for successful work in the Sunday school. Rev. T. M. Dent, of Bishopville, was present and favored the audience with an earnest talk. The addresses were listened to with marked attention throughout and doubtless inspired all with zeal for more efficient uer vice in this importa ti : field of christian work. A recess was then taken until 3.30 p. m. daring which interval a bountiful repast was spread and served to the throng surrounding tbe table, by an efficient and obliging com? mittee, lt is sufficient to say of this feature of tbe occasion that the reputation of this people for hospitality and the orderly man? agement of such affairs was fully sustained. During the remainder of (be interval the crowd wes scattered over the grounds; the elderly gentlemen were grouped about dis? cussing politics, the weather, ?c.; the ladies, those whose hands had prepared the feast were busied in "returning to each ber own,' and tho younger contingent could be seen .trolling orer the spacious grounds or hold? ing tele a ide* uoder the spreading oaks Af 3 30 p. m , the conventiou was again called to order and reports beard from the Tarions schools represented. An election for officers for the ensuing year wa? then held, resulting as follows ; President, Dr. W. W. Fraser; Vic? Pr?sident, W. J. A BU re we ; Secretary, Mr. Kirvin. Th convention then after receiving the benediction, pronounced by Rev. W. H. Wroton, adjourned to meet at Bethel Church one year hence. "A." Weather Beports From the Cotton Belt.
