As Brother Connors would put it, Rock Hill is making a noise like good pavements.?Rock Hill Herald. Glad to hear it. Keep on shut tliiig. Maybe Lancaster will at least catch the echo. ? : Probably the largest Episcopal gathering ever held in South Carolina is in session in Colum bia this week. It is known as the Missionary Conference of Episcopalians of this part of the south. The conference is composed ol delegates not only from this state hut from Georgia, Florida, {Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and Cuba and Puerto liico, as well. There was a small fire in Rock Hill at an eatly hour Saturday morning, the burning of a supply car?not the street car. A special in the Charlotte Observer, giving an account of the fire, says : ' The firemen got out ? that's all." We do not know what that means?possibly that our neighbor's noted street sprinkler had already "got out'' and cut all the ice necessary. "\Ve tru-?t that Lancaster will he well represented at the unveiling of the Hampton moon-; inent in Columbia on the 20th ! instant. There are a number ot I old soldier* still living in this county that followed the fortunes of the peerless cavalry leader i during the war who by all means should attend if possible the un-l veiling ceremonies. The militia' of the state will ol course turn ; out in full force. The schools have also been invited to attend, as well as the public generally. No, Mr. Curiosity, those big piles of sand on Main street were! rot placed there for children to play on, or for use by housekeepers for scouring purposes, or for the convenience ot backboneless citizens in search of sand for their gizzards, or n* monuments to any old thing, but our city fathers hart all that sand hauled to town some months ago when they were making a noise like building a cement sidewalk in lront of the Springs block.? Later?We take it all back.? Since the foreging was put ;n t.\ pe Council has s'ated a force of h&mis to work on the sidewalk in questoin. The long delayed work was entered upon yesterday morning. We congratulate our city fathers on this their latest move in the right direction. Mrs Virginia Duraut Younp, editor of the Fairfax Enterprise, died Friday afternoon, of pneumonia. She was one ot the most prominent women in South Carolina and was a favorite with the newspaper fraternity. She was a regular attendant at the annual meetings of the state press association and contributed much to the pleasure of those gatherings by her charming manner and bright sayings. As a i a t r ir . i writer inrs. loung was ooin fluent and forceful. Her death is indeed a loss to journalism as well as to the state which she loved so well. We regret to uote the fact that Main street is beginning again to present the same dirty, trashy appearance on Sunday that it did some months ago before Council, upon the insistence of The News, inaugurated a Saturday night cleaning up system. We are not informed as to why the work 19 not being kept up?possibly ow mg to scarcity ot hands. If every merchant would, just before closing up Saturday night, have the I pavement in fiont of his store swept off, present conditions I .1 I A 1 - ? wuuiu ue greauy improved, THE HOSPITAL QUESTION, AGAIN. Anderson is going right ahead with its hospital enterprise. As noted in these columns at the time, a handsome sum was recently subset ibed in that town, in less than a week, tor the building ot a hospital. As will be seen by the f* Mowing Anderson special in the Columbia State, of SunI day, substantial progress is be1 ing made: "The subscribers to the Antlers' n County Hospital association held a meeting yesterday alternoon The l>\-laws were read ; and adopted It i* provided that a board ot 15 ttustees shall be elected to manage the hospi'al and a meeting will be held on j next Thursday to elect these tru-itees. Dr. W. II. Nardin. Sr., teported tlicit lie had met with great success in collecting the! subscriptions as evervone lie hat! seen responded very willingly and expressed the regret they! could not contribute more " What is being done in Anderson can and should be done in Lancaster. The reasons why a hospital should be built here were stated at length by us some time ago, but our suggestion that a movement be started with that end in view has thus far produced no practical results. We have >>v no meana abandon ed the idea, however, and shall continue to urge action on the( part of our people. We hear that the Junior Order has been dis-' i cussing the hospital question, which is encouraging, and we j trust that the Juniors will con tinue to agitate the matter until something tangible shall be I don?. Mr. W J. Sowell, ot Langley, was run over and killed Friday by an Aiken-Agusta trolley car. W MOM I For the Next Thirty Merchandise that will We Make You will C Dress Goods.
