If you are not a positive worker for | the common good you are missing a 1 jr-eat opportunity for service. There 1 are so many tasks that call for Maruest workers and real happiness eomes from having some definite goal in view. 1 Christmas shopping is about to bex gin and the readers of this paper are to discover soon where they > <aan find the best goods at the low- i price. The wise merchants are \ady making known their barWhv not get Into the ring, ^o have heretofore been neg sS ZL '. Jr i l Vfe have frequently urged the need of ja local hospital and have mort fn once suggested that it should be ned in memory of Dr. J. Marion is, Lancaster county's distinguishson. After reading recently in 8 Columbia Record an editorial on Dr. Sims, in which the editor, who has always been a profound admirer of the great physician, asks what has become of the proposition to erect a monument to his memory, it occurs to us that Lancaster might agitate the question and secure tin monument in the form of a hospital. We are publishing today The l(cord's tribute to Dr. Sims. Would tlin ti vi* :iniirii!ii'i!iti(iii for n "monument" be aailable lor a memorial hospital and would not the < mth Carolina Medical Associatio> prefer to give its contribution to erect a memorial which would serve mankind as well as remind them of the great and good Dr. Sims? This being the case we suggest that Lancaster offer a site for this hospital and try to secure the legislative appropriation and the contribution from the doctors of the state. Better a granite shaft than no monument to Or. Sims, but beat of all would be a hospital devoted to the healing of his people. And could there be found in this commonwealth a more appropriate location for such a hospital than Lancaster, the town in which he spent his boyhood? The people of his native county have no hospital. He left money for the erection of the county almshouse, which was built and named the Sims Home. Let the people of his native county and those of the town in which he was reared bestir ourselves to memorialize in an appropriate way the foremost surgeon of his day. If the suggestion we have made is not practicable, then we might try another method of securing a hospital, which would be a constant reminder of the great healer even as it would also serve as a place of healing to those in need. + :m?i :m:ra^:t:o:ootacK'm:KXK * * col. si*m\c;s optimistic. The opinions of a man of rcm;.u /.i-d business judgment alwa s carry weight and \ hrn those opinions collie Irom one ulin i?. silsn uel! I'iiown to us personally, they are ? von more convincing. Therefore, th following, from Cotton, an Atlant. mill publication, containing a recent interview with oi:r esteemed fellowtownsman, Col. Leroy Springs, will be of deeded interest hereabouts: "Mill men talked with recently all feel convinced that we have turned the corner, and business has finally adjusted itself to the new conditions brought about by the European disturbance. People generally are more optimistic. The situation is very noticeable and pronounced. Undoubtedly, the early future of this country promises a period of prosperity re suiting from renewed internal development, as well as from a large share in the world trade. Manufacturers say that there is every indication of a very active autumn and winter business in textiles. With a very much smaller crop of cotton, and with a market price nearly double that of last November, the South is very far from that buy-a-bale period and needs no help from the federal treasury. "In an Inlervlow v\ith C?d. Leroy Springs, nres'dent of the string of cotton in1 lis at Lancaster, Kershaw, Port Mill and Chester. South Carolina. lie stated that the reported shortage of the cotton crop is iinqiu'stionahly true, and that it lo -ks < - if th<? crop will be considerably under twelve million bales. lie thinks the tanners are in better position to hold heir cotton crop this year than thev have been In several years, owing to the fact that they have made this crop very cheaply, due to the small amount of fertilizer used. He stated that he does not believe cotton will sell for much under 12 cents this season, and this price will only be temporary, and that consequently mills will have to get better prices for their Hoods. Col. Springs said that the recent heavy demand for goods in both colored and grey goods indicated that It would only be a short time until '.he manufactured goods would be on a parity with cotton, and it would then be a question of supply and demand. 'There is a smaller amount of goods in the hands of the mills and "1th the Jobbers and on the shelves of the retailers,' he said, 'than there has been in years, owing to the past year's depressed conditions in all textiles. i " 'The small crop of cotton that Is I being raised and the active demand I for It, has put aew life into the tex I t'le business, and I expect to see goods go much higher, and I antic' pate that there will he an active de mand for all goods that Southern mills can make irrespective of thi shortage of dyestuffa.'
