letter day in the history of Abbeville
County. An institution open Its doors
yesterday which has been establish-J
, ed for the betterment of mankind
an^d the alleviation of suffering among'
the unfortunate sick of the County. J
Against odds of all kinds the stockholders
of the hospital have erected
an institution which is an ornament'
and a source of just pride to the
, people of the whole county. The furnisliincs.
for the most uar?. given as
memorials to dear ones who hav
parsed away are elegant and supe
rior in every respect to the furnish
ings of many larger city Hospitals
* Especially attractive are the chil-j
t'.icn's wards which were furnished by(
sympathetic parents who, with tears(
and broken hearts, yesterday made
so sweet and attractive the little
room^ which serve as memorials of
the budding flower which has been
cut down in 4heir homes.
Beginning at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon a continuous stream
of visitors called at the hospital and
\Were courteously shown through by|
the three nurses in attendance, Mis5^3
Reep, Adkins and Gossett. The
stream of visitors reached its climax
at 6:30 when there were assembled in
v the court directly in fron: of the hos
pital hundreds ol people rrom ail sections
of the County. At this hour D.
H. Hill who was acting for the chairman
of the board of directors, took
" his stand on the portico of the second
floor and called the assembly to order.
Rev. C. E. Peele, pastor of the
Methodist ofturch then made a beautiful
prayer after which Mr. Hill made
a short introductory address and called
upon Hon. J. Moore Mars for the
opening address. Mr. Mars was succinct
in his address and briefly said
all that was necessary to say in that
- . .the people showed in their counte
nances that they were well pleased
with the Abbeville County Memorial
Hospital and no eulogy was necessary,
. , Mr. Mars was followed by Rev. L.
J. Bristow pastor of the Baptist
church and formerly superintendent
r? tb: "i. ptist hospital in Columbia.
Mr. >' :ow was nuite efiuleent in
iv.s ; .. se of the directors and supporters
of the directors for having
kept battling against the existing la?or
conditions, the high prices of
building material, etc., and rendered
special commendation to Dr. J. C.
Hill for his untiring energy in prosecuting
the project to completion. j
Mr. Hill next called on Dr. G. A j
^euffer wh5 made a pleasing address
giving the benefits which wouid accrue
to the brother members of his
profession by having* a hospital in
their midst. Dr. Neuffer's talk was
well received by his audience and he
was warmly applauded at its conclusion^:

PEECH FOR McADOO IS !i
SHORT AND SNAPPY |
'I Nominate Win. G. McAdoo" I
Starts Wild Uproar?-Enthusiasm
Runs High
y *" , .1'
San Francisco, July 1.?William'
J? McAdoo was placed in' nomina-':
ion for the Presidency late this
fternoon at the Democratic Na-1
ional Convention in one of the ,
hortest nominating speeches on
ecord by Dr. Burris Jenkins, of
Cansas City.
After Cox, Palmer, Gerard, Cumaings,
Hitchcock and others had'
>een placen in nomination Jenkins,
ook the platform and told the con ention
that, in view of{/the peristent
and insistent demands from;
klcAdoo that no nominating speech
le made for him, he would accede
o that request, but that it might be
lecessary to 'draft him for the service
of the nation."
_ _ i
Any rumors that McAdoo would
lot serve if nominated, Jenkins told
he convention, could be dismissed
is the "work of enemies." j
Jenkins merely sAid:
"I nominate' William G. McAdoo,"
md the pent-up enthusiasm of the.
/ I.
McAdoo forces broke loose in a.
oud and noisy demonstration.
A parade around the convention ^
loor started as soon as the short
ipeech was concluded, and soon the
itandards of Washington, Delaware,
Louisiana, Alabama, Utah, ; -New
Mexico, Arkansas, < Oregon, Wyoning,
Maine, Arizona, Texas, Id6ho
Michigan, Kansas, Nevada, Hawaii,
iVisconsin and South Dakota' were
n the parade.
Spectators in the Missouri dele
jates tried to put their standard in'
;he parade, and the move developed
i fist fight, in which the police in:erfered.
Bennett Clark, son of j
Dhamp Clark, was among those who j
;ried to keep the banner out of the j
irocession. In the mix-up the stanlard
was trampled to the floor and
:orn in two, but the McAdoo men
escued the letters "ouri" and bore
;hem triumphantly into the line of
narchers.
