Aiken is to have one. Abbeville and (jireenwod are si ill alive and Laurens is moving:. And Newberry "was still born in the bauds of nineteen physicians." Too many cooks sometimes spoil tbe broth. But what has become of our committee from tiie chamber ol' commerce. Was it ever born at all ? There are some two or three dozen, more or less, organizations amongst the women of this community. We have; an idea il' these women could be induced to take hold ol' this matter that the hospital would be built. Wo hate to set' any movement start out with the assurance of success which seemed to be the case with tin* hospital movement and then to be told by a member of the committee who had the matter in charge and who had accepted the trust that the movement was still born in the hands of the nineteen physicians gf this county, and there was not a physician on the committee either. What about the committee? Is it "still born" also? .Newberry should have a hospital. It can be built. Will the women undertake it I They can raise the money, from the men of course, and what iiiniT humanitarian or blessed work eouhl engage their time and attention' Would the eommiltcc in charge be willing to turn the matter over to the women, or do they have hopes I doing something themselves. 11 i> too had for Newberr\ to go to tin' world with acknowledgment of failure in so good a cause. It is :iot to our credit. OLD SOLDIERS HOME. Somebody is always wanting' to banish the old soldiers from their homes and their kindred to pen t hem up in a "soldier s home." We don't need a soldier's home. It would be a costly experiment which would not bring the desired result, namely; greater comfort for those poor or disabled soldiers who went to bat lb; j'orty-seveu years ago. If there is an old soldier who lacks the necessary things of life, give him the money nud let liiiu buy what he wants, nud let him stay with his kindred. Nothing could be more cruel t linn to take an old soldier so J'ar from home that lie could see his people no more.- Abbeville Press and Banner. We entirely agree with the l'res> and Banner. We had not heard ol the soldiers home idea for some linn and really ?Ii<I not know that any oiu was now seriously considering; tin proposition. There are cases, how ever, where the old soldier shouh have more than he now gets am some no doubt receive peusiiotis win are not really in need of the sinal aid given by the slate. Our idea is to levy a one mill la> for pensions and let il be distrihut ed under our present pension law but give to the board in each couutx the amount that is raised in thai county and in nearly all of I hem il the rolls were carefully made u| there would be a surplus which conic be used to aid further the niori needy. In many of the counties now there is an additional pension fumi distributed which in some cases i.raised from the ordinary count,\ fund or from a special levy for thai purpose. But it is evident that there is iu ' neeissity for an old soldiers home. The Columbia Chamber of Commerce has appropriated $.">,000 fot advertising the city ami for enter taining- visitors. This body lias ;i good live secretary which i> niort important than a big appropriation though the money will come i'l handy and will he well invested, (ireenwood Index. A good live secretary is a sine <pia mm t>> a live chamber of commerce i.i a u \ community. A little inonev speni for advertising' i^ a good thing also. A secretary needs some mone\ at his disposal for advertising and for other work. The smallest part of his duties should he to keep a record of the meeting's. But there are all sorts of ideas a~to the objects of ;i cliam-x r of c?>m mcrce and the work to be done. A MESSAGE TO THE FARMERS. The Mail, of Anderson, S. ('., in an article discussing finances, business and crops, makes the following / V V V?. >. fay,/;.. ...:i.^ilAt'* pointed observations: a "Ami speakiii?- abou! holding col- l1 ton, wo believe it is one of tbo first 1 principles of the Kariuers' Union <* which is back of the movement, that " the man who holds his cotton for o better prices must first of all take a chic of iiis obligations. This the " farmers must do if they want to retain public sympathy in the fijylit t 1 they are making. If a farmer has I' , made debts due on the first of No- t' veinber, or on any other day, he >' should arrange for the payment of tl those debts if it is in his power to i do so. If he wants lo hold his e.?t P I?ni that is his privilege, but he ti should bv all means pay his debts ' while he is doinjy it.

In s: a majority of cases ih.; merchant p stands ready and willink lo assist 'he '? farmer in every way possib'e 'o hold ' up the price of cotton, but the mer- ti chant is entitled to. the privilege of it a say-so in the matter.

(J corgi a will ( ave prohibition after the lirsl of . a.iuary and no doubt from a money , I and point it would be good bnsi- , ess judgment to establish a dispell- , nry in North Augusta but if the ( urposc of the dispensary system is 1 i regulate and control the whiskey j altic and thus reduce the consump- , on if would not be well t<? establish | ie North Augusta dispensary.- I The indications now point very | Iroiigl.v to state prohibition for ( outh Carolina. According to the Anderson Intelliinicer, only the streets 011 which alcrnicn live are desirable to prosperve purchasers, and there is slight issatisfaction thereat on the part of " itizens having their washing done scwhere.

What we want and wli.it e have been trying to get is some tod streets and sidewalks at any old lace in the city, whether they led by ie home of :i.i alderman or not. Our ^ Mermen have not caught on to the . lea even of building their own .reels. If so we have fa'led to oh- ? rve it. We simply go on wading irouuh lit.- mud and stumbling over io ditches.

Several semi-weeklies use them, hut the Journal and Index are the first weeklies to have the neccssury nerve to put in type-setting machines. We congratulate these contemporaries, and hope Io follow their example in the next few months. Fact is, we signed a eon tract for a machine more than two years ago, but our present building was too small, so we postponed the .purchase. We are now greeting what we hope will be a nice jflice, and we expect to put in a linolyp?P in the next few months, also a Colder, and some other new machinery.?'Bamberg 1 Icrald.

I the legislature if we can under-? stand plain statements by the Jour- _ mil.?'Abbeville Press and Banner. Not only Spartanburg lias some of iff this class of insurance companies but there are others. And there r have been others. To fact we have seen them come and go and take the money from confiding and unsus- ?* peeting citizens without the semblance qf security nnd nothing but the hope of payment in case of loss. This class of companies mentioned _ by the Press and Banner and others A which do a health and accident Imsi- fi ness should have some legislative attention and should have some restrictions thrown around them. i This same suggestion came to us when in 'Columbia a few days as a member of the legislative committee i checking up the various books in [ A the different stale offices. We hope some one who is more familiar with the subject will propose the desired ' and needed legislation. It is too j easy for this class of companies to gel charters and they go out with the ? endorsement of the slate. ODIIIIACOCAINE and i* rlUm WHISKEY ? Habits curod at iny Sanatorium Id ? few weeks.
