Columbia is to have another hospital
to be erected at a cost of one
hundred thousand dollars. The new
mill ka knilf if. ia in f.VlO
I in Idie way that would hinder these
good^ women from carrying out
thair plans f-ar the betterment of the
hospital, that has cared for so many
Colombian's and those living in
almost'everv* section cf the State,
since its inauguration some fifteen
; years ago.
Judge Brawley has decided that the
South Carolina labor contract law is
null and void. Thb case has been be:
fore him for several weeks, and it has
been the general opinion ^all along
that he would so decide. It remains to
P .he seen what effect the decision will
have on the farmers, who, as a matIter
of fact, will suffer most, and at
whom the law was directed. However,
some are of the opinion that it
will greatly help the farmers; others
think it will demoralize labor all oyer
I the State, where farmers have been
obliged to make "advances," either
in money or provisions. It looks now
like the time is not far distant when
farm labor will have to be secured the
same as other help; that is, pay
off at the end of the month or every
Saturday evening, and eliminate altogether
the disastrous practice of making"advancej"
at the oeglnning of the
year. The reason why the people of
Lexington county are independent
to-day is from the f^pt that they perform
their own work to- a large ex|i
tent and, therefore, what they make
is theirs, and they are always happy
f- and content.
According to dispatch from St.
'r, ."Matthews to The State a mass meeting
was held at the Red Store, this
-county, last Friday to determine
whether or not the citizens of Sandy
^ .Run Township were in favor of a new
-ccuSfcy with St. Matthews as the
county. The meeting is reported as
being very enthusiastic and a great
majority voted in favor of the scheme.
It seems that there is good opening
in that section for some missionary
work in opposition to this scheme.
Couldn't some of our public spirited
citizens, who have the interests of
?heir mother county and her "dear
- peepul" so near to their heart (espe*

The commencement issue of The
Columbia State this morning is calculated
to inspire the educational interests
of the whole country. It is
a fine piece of journalism and in keeping
with the progress of that newspaper.
The State is working hard for
education in South Carolina, and results
are bound to follow.

Lake's hospital, and will, in a sense,
of the Knowlton sani
!( taxjpm, since Dr. A. B. Knowlton is
4feeprinciple promoter of the new
undertaking.
The Columbia Hospital, under the
esculent management of Mrs. D. R.
Flenniken for many years, has made .
improvement after improvement until
to-day it is the equal of any hos
pital in the South. Mrs. Flinniken,
with the assistance of the ladies' hospital
association, which is composed
ofsome of Columbia's noblest women,
has Struggled hard to make the institution
a success; and their efforts
have not been futile. Had it not
Been for these same women, no doubt
the hospital would have been a failure.
We trust that St. Luke's hospital
is not to be built oq account of
rivalry, but because Columbia'*
rapid growth demands it. The
Columbia Hospital is in charge of a
lady Directress, Miss lean T. Kay, a
graduate of Johns-Hopkins hospital,
and is very distinguished in her profession.
The ladies of the hospital associaP4
taon are now working to secure funds
h. tor the purpose of improving and better
equiping the present hospital, and
it would be rmiust to olace anything:
One would not have to know tl
this is commencement week in Li

"something doing'' on the pi
Jolly, good-natured visitors on ev<
side; handsoms women wearing e
gant gowns, and gallant young 11
grace our thoroughfares from ea
in the morning until late at night,
enjoying the generous hospitality
our people. Lexington welcomes,
she always does, these visitors; th<
is nothing too good for you, <
when you have returned to y
places of habitation, remember tl
you carry with you a warm invitat
to attend the commencement in 19

sent a beautiful sight to see dur

The Isle of Palms is an ideal place
the editors to . meet and Charles
always opens the gates wide to
newspaper men.
The Florence man who went
Cincinnati to marry the girl he ne
saw before, looks very much like
must have been marriage at t
sight.
We sympathize with The Gaffi
Ledger in the loss it sustained by
Saturday. $one but those who h
gone through with the same exp
ence can fully appreciate the" sit
tion. But with the undaunted cc
age that has always characterized
life of Editor DeCamp, The Led
will be published as usual.
Was It Democratic?
To the Editor of The dispatch:
The information so far given out
to the establishing of a dispensary
New Brookland,wctald warrant the
lief that the county dispensary boa
for some reason or other, disregan
the will of the majority of the c
zens of that town, and fail to si
why they did so.
Under the rules of democratic p:
ciples a business man may* be he
just as the common man is hea
but to say that the business men o:
town may fix a nuisance upon t
town contrary to the will of the i
iorifcv of the citizens., of that town,
to say to every self-respecting n
and woman of that ' town that tl
should go to another town to trans
their business.
Our forefathers set us the right
ample in dealing with those who hi
no regard for anything but that wh
promotes self-interest. Democi
are supposed to know and regi
democratic principles. I confess t
if the statements given out as to
establishing of a dispensary at IS
Brookland be true, then it is just
hard to see the democratic princi
in it as it is to see how men grew 8
denly rich on a salary of $400 a y
while serving on the State board
dispensary directors.
Let us have old time honest dem
racy, which put no difference betwc
democrats because one has moi
enough to keep store and anot
may be a day laborer in a cot
mill. Democrats cannot consistec
stand for undemocratic measures.

Whin Nancy Clancy -dances
Her grace my soul entrances;
She ketches all th* glances
From young men in th' hall;
She glides along so lightly,
She smiles so sweetly, brightly,
"While I?I hold her tightly
An' squeeze that waist so small.
At almost ivery turnin'
I tell her of a burnin'
My heart has; it's a yearnin'
To mil nor mine, all mine.
f?he says, "Tim, don't be teasin'
If me you would be pleasln'."
My heart she's fur from easin\
This bunch of grace divine.
AVhin Nancy Clancy dances.
Whilst both of thim eyes prances
Some night I'll learn my chance!
By pleadin* good an' strong.
An' if she loves me truly
My heart will get unruly;
I'll make her Mrs. Dooley
