Mrs. Hughson left six little girls, the eldest abont thirteen, and the youngest not yet two years of age The Doctor has three other children by a former marriage. To him, to them, and the mother and brother of Mrs. Hughson, who were with her at the last, the sympathies of the community go out, and especially tender are they for the motherless little ones who are scarcely able yet to appre? ciate their loss.

At ll o'clock Wednesday night she shipped a heavy sea, damaging one of the boats, the after-house and flooding the saloon, and washing chairs and furniture overboard. After reaching Charleston, Capt. Robinson was presented with a handsome silver cup by the passengers in recognition of the courage which he displayed. mm A True Snake Story. Mr. W. H. Hodge, who lives near Lukens & Riefsnyder's Mill, relates tbe*following snake story : On Sunday evening before last on returning home, the cries of the nurse of his little grand-child, attrated his attention to a snake about a yard long which was on the joist of his piazza with about half of the body hanging down and moving around the cage of the canary bird. The top of tho cage being of tin, the snake could not reach around far enough to get to the bird, but was apparently doing its best to get the bird, while the bird was shrieking and fluttering at a fearful rate. The snake was so intent on getting the bird that it did not notice the approach of Mr. Hodge, who knocked it off as it was swinging it3 head around the cage. It was what is known as a chicken snake. Mr. Hodge is pazzled to known bow the snake got opon the piazzt joist. Tobacco Barn Burned. Mr. R. M. Jenkins had the misfortune, abont ten days ago, to lose a second tobacco barn this season from fire. " The loss is about $200 with no insurance, as the insurance companies refuse to take risks this year on tobacco barns.

Sunday 27th, a rnir^thTrrrderstorm, between 12 and 1 p. m., passed over from the east, and has developed into a cyclone of unusual energy. Towards midnight the wind had increased to not lees than 50 miles an hour, in fr?quent recurring gusts, and so continued through the night. At the present time/11 a. m. (local time), it-is moderating slightly ?nd veeriiif: southwards. The- ground is strewed with green leaves and branches of trees. No doubt-.the crops will surfer much damage, bat fortunate ly cotton has on ly begun to open here ?ht?- tfc?re. The whole amount of rain from Sunday morning to Monday evening, 4.50 p. m . when the last shower ended, was 6 74 inches. --? - Putting Our Cotton States at the Mercy of European Banks. It is understood in financial circles that the funds required to move the new cotton ciop will be sought in Europe, not btw.g obtainable here. !f Europe shall supply the money she may ?Iso dictate ihe price to be paid for the cotton. To this condition of help'essnes has the operation of the Sherman act reduced the cotton producers. Yet Con? gress hesitates and delays, although prompt legislative action would at once res to ra pub? lic confidence and render ?he holders of ('fit? ton independent of European money brokers. -Philadelphia Record. - The Spark of Life.

The Need and Practicability of Establishing One in Sumter. It is a dut)- due humanity for the well to-do and able-bodied to care for the injured and diseased. Sumter County has a population of nearly forty-five thousand. Among this member there are always many who are sufferers from chronic diseases, wounds or malformations, that are curable by surgical means, but daily experience has shown that satisfactory, practical results are impossible of accomplishment except in a duly appointed and properly m*intaine.1 building (hospital). Those among the wealthy who are so afflicted seek assistance (usually at great expense) in Charleston or some Northern city, while those of limited means are compelled to suffer with? out aid. If there were suitable rooms within our reach provided with the necessary appliances for properly performing surgical operations, with trained assistants for the after care of patients, much of this suffering could be relieved, and many lives prolonged that are now sacrificed, while the expense incurred by a prolonged residence in a dis? tant city could in many instances be avoided by those who are able to pay for treatment. Sucb, at least, has been the opinion of a majority of the physicians of the county for some time past, and believing that-if -the idea were properly presented to the people of Sumter County they would not fail to respond ; recognizing the fact that the establishment and maintenance of such an institution can only be accomplished by intel? ligent concerted action ; and believing that the medical prcfessiou of the county was the proper body to take the initiative in the matter, the Sumter County Medical Asso? ciation at its annual meeting, held May 12th 1893, adopted the following resolution: "Resolved that a committee be appointed to investigate the feasibility of the enterprise (i. e. the erection of a hospital, ) and if possible to formulate a plan for the establishment of a hospital in the city of Sumter for the benefit of the citizens of Sumter County and under the auspices of the Sumter County Medical. Association." Under the above resolution a committee was appointed and a report, satisfactory in every particular, was made to the County Medical Association at its regular meeting Aug. 11 tb. The idea in the minds of the committee was that it would be best, if possible, to erect a hospital building to contain four wards-one each for whites, male and female, and colored male and female-an operating room and other necessary rooms, as kitchen, nurse's room, etc.-possibly several private rooms suitable for the wants ot patients able and willing to pay for their board and medical attention. It is desirable then, first to raise enough money by private subscription to purcb -z a suitable lot and erect a properly appointed building. When this much is ac? complished we feel that a long step will have been taken. The maintaiuance of tbe hospital, such as the furnishing of drugs and surgical dressings and suitable food for the inmates, will depend upon the various charitable persons and in? stitutions in the county. The cost of maintaining each bed, per year, will be about $200.00. We believe 'that many churches in the county will be willing to maintain at least one bed a year Of the smaller churches two, three or four may club together so maintain a bed We think we can reasonably expect the several towns in the county to devote a cer? tain amount each year towards the maintain? ance of oae or more beds. The sick people of the poor house we think we may reason? ably expect to care for in the free wards, the county authorities paying the actual cost of raaintainflnce. As to who shall be the atiending corps of physicians that will be left, probably to the choice of the association or to a board of trustees &i may hereafter be determined. No fees will be expected by this corps from those received into tile free wards. It is hoped that enough money will be raised to build and fit up several private rooms in the hospital building. Occupants of sucb rooms would be expected to pay a reasonable amount for board and nursing, which amount will go towards the support of the hospital. The above being a summary of the views of the association*, the following committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions to the hospital fund, and, if necessary, appoint auxiliary committees. J. A.

Then why object to the silver dollar or to the unlimited coinage of such dollar?" This is a question often asked by the advocates of the free coinage of silver, as if it proved their case. It is often asked also by persons without bias, who have not taken the trouble to consider by what means the government has since 1879 kept greeubacks, as well as silver dollars, at par with gold. It will be remembered that in July, 1864, one dollar of our currency was worth but 38.7 cents in gold. In July, 1870, five years after the war, it was worth but 85 6 cents in gold. Thc greenback was not brought tc.par with gold till, under an act of Congress, the Secretary of the Treasury, in 1879, by selling bonds, accumulated ?100,000,000 of gold reserve now in the treasury for the redemption of greenbacks, in case anybody should wish to turn his greenbacks into gold. As soon as people saw that they could get 100 cents in gold for their paper money, dollar for dollar, they ceased to take less for it. And, as is usual in such cases, as soon as they saw the gold was there to redeem their greenbacks they ceased to wish them redeemed, preferring redeemable paper to metal, as being mote con? venient to handle. Thus $346,000,000 of greenbacks were brought to par and kept lhere. A reserve of $100,000,000 of gold was enough for that purpose. Under a clause of the Sherman act and the practice of the govern? ment, it bas been the policy of the treasury to keep all the other kind3 of money in circula? tion at par with gold, but no further accumu? lation of gold has been provided by law to do . this work. In July, 1893. there were $419, 000,000 of silver dollars (mostly in circula? tion as certificates), $346.000,0*00 of green? backs and about$l40,000,000 of silver bullion treasury notes-or $900,000,000 in the aggre? gate-to be kept at par with gold, on the strength of the treasury's dwindling gold re? serve At that time thi3 reserve had declined from $193,000,000, in 1888, during Mr. Cleve? land's first term, to less than $100,000,000. This amount of gold has been insufficient to inspire confidence in the government's ability to keep $900.000,000 of greenbacks and 55 cen?P silver dollars at par? especially aa it has been seen that this enormous burden is being added to under the Sherman act by the pur? chase ot 4,500,000 ounces of silver per | month. Hence the panic, (?old was being exported What if the whole $100,000,000 of gold reserve were withdrawn from the treasury by holders of greenbacks, certificates or tre^ury notes? Then the government it was seen, would no*, tie able to keep the 55 cent silver dollar at par with gold. There was good reason to fear this, since the excess of gold exportso?er imports in 1890 was$18,000,000; in 1891, $72,000,000; in 1892, when our ex? ports of crops were exceptionally large, $13, 000,000. In 1893 gold exports have been on a vastly increased scale. To July 1, ISO.'t, $140,600,000 of treasury notes wert- issued under the Sherman act} but our net exports of gold in the same time wen- $141.OOH,OOO The goodness of the silver dollar berny de? pendent on the ability of the treasury to ex? change gold for it, the holder of it, investors and others, became alarmed nt the prospect of the treasury's losing ali its gold. The reason why theyfclver dollar now buys a's much as the gobi ?loll.ir is clear from the foregoing. < tf the silver dollar 55 cents is gold vnlue and the rest is hut, or mere implied promise io pay. Sn long HS the gold reserve is maintained at Washington, the silver dollar ?ill continue tobe worth loo cents, because the treasury will be able to give, in eflVcr, a gold dollar for j?, (-lear out the gold reserve ?nd the silver dollar will go for only what the silver in it is wort ii -55 cents. Free coinage is folly because it ntenns multiplying Itght dollars enormously, and so making it Impossible for the treasury to keep the silver dollars and greenbacks nt par with gold. With free coinage thc silver dollar would speedily lose half* its purchasing power.- Baltimore Sun.
