Now that there is an organiza tion of I he medical fraternity of Lancaster county, it is to be hoped that one of the lirst. mat ters to be taken up by 'he association will be the establishment ot a hospital in Lancaster. Towns no larger than Lancaster have hospitals and there is 110 reason why one should not be established here. The people of Lancas ter, both town and county. are lielpinu to support the Chester. Hock Hit! and other hospitals, when the money thus spent should he expended ill tins community. to say nothing < f ilie great convenience that would b?alforded by a i o^-pital here. In nearly e\erv care oS serious sici lie-? or injur , aciidental or otherwise, occurring within a radius of twenty oi more miles oi Lancaster, the patient, when iinancially able, is either carried oil to a hospital tor treatment or elsethoserv ce- 01 a trained nutse trorb a distance are secured,-? .NO'.v ti(.\v much bettor if would be to have a hospital nntl trained nurse- rmht here at home. We are colli tent that if the matter is taken npbv toe medical association, it will find the pub lie geneially read}- t*? heartily C')-operate in an\ stops it may faue to build a fiist cla?s hospital in Lancaster.

Ti e Lancaster County Cotton Growers' Association was among the first in the state to pledge itsell to stand by tlie action of the executive committee of the tSoutliern Association in fixing ten cents as the minimum price for the present crop. A large number 01 oilier county associations have since met and passed resolutions similar to those adopted here in relation to holdin the staple for tt n cent?*. List year Lancaster was called the banner county in .jio the phalanx of the tanners' asso ciations in South Carolina and it j begins to look like she will carry the colors attain this year (|1( The farmers of this county tu!J lilt) ly appreciate the value of organ izution, of standing together, of aoting in concert for their mutual advantage, and judging Irom the renewed interest they are now ^ manifesting in their present a&sociation, they are determined to COJ make it more effective than ever |before. If the farmers through- me out the South were as alive to the importance of building up and ^ maintaining the Cotton Growers' ^ Association to its highest stand sej ard of usefulness and efficiency, ^ as are the farmers of Lancaster county, the potentialities of that organization would soon become ^ei well-nigh unlimited. we The Cotton Association has alaP ready accomplished so much for mf tlie farmer of the South that really j erj he should need no words ol en- j cou rage me nt to Keep it up. But Lra for the benefit of any farmers ?n who may possibly have become I indifferent as to the welfare of the q organization we quote the follow- jgl ing from the News and Cornier: crj It is of the greatest urgency, Ch it is ot the highest importance tj,, 'hat the growers stand by their j organization. They must nour ish it with their contributions H" of money, they must not only;'"r keep it alive but they must main- kil i tain it in strength and vigor, wi The farmers must coustautly' educate themselves in market ' ilia:. It is equally important to know how and when to sell as to u know how to plant and culti- hoi va'e. and the proper, natural eri and only ell'eetive means of e?lu Ta cation is through lheir iuarke1in- j|l( organization. To produce cot' ton and turn it over !o ilio !>uy- ( -j</t er without a thought as to the . cost ot production, without en-1 jteiinp even a plea as to what lie Drive ought lo tie, is a wonset 1 ' h ^s prec eding and one t 1 producer- <t no comnn clity, ag- :l ricultnral or nrumiaotured. e m j afford to practice.
