$20,000.00 DONATION
TO CAMDEN HOSPITAL
Mil. BARUCH OFFER# HAND
BOMK AMOUNT AND HOHFi
TAL HKKMH ASSURED.
? t,. ? ? ~~m
Mr. W. H. Eve, Jr., secretary of
tho Chamber of Commerce received
a letter Wednesday from Mr. Ber
nard M. Baruch, of New York/ Buy
ing that be would give f 20,000 to
ward* the Camden hospital. Mr.
Baruch was born in Camden and
when about nine years of age weut
to New Jtork, where bis father, Dr.
Simon Kruch decided to live and
practice vhla profession. Mr. Ber
nard Baruch is said to be very ?
wealthy and is a well known attor
ney in New York city,
The people of Camden are very
much elated over the generous gift,
and it has been the topic of conver
sation wherever there is a gather
ing. The gift makes the hospital a
certainty. Capt. James Burdell, in
his will, left about 175,000 worth
of property to be used as an en
dowment fund for the hospital.
Mrs. A. C. Ancrum recently re
ceived a letter from Dr. Simon Bar
ruch, stating that he would give a
lot near the old Court House, val
ued at about $2,000 to the Ladles
Auxiliary Hospital Fund..
The munificent gifts of Captain
Burdell, Mr. Baruch and Dr. Ba
ruch insure the building of a hand
some hospital, which has been a
dream , of the citizens for many
years, and an early erection of the I
building is looked forward to.
There are ojher friends of old |
Camden, who are \n correspondence
with friends here, 'which correspond"
ence will likely lead.Ao other gifts
and endowments for tne hospital In
the near future. j
Secretary Eve had been in oor-'
respondence with Mr. Baruch to-iv
some time in reference to the me-j
morial hospital Mr. Baruch propos
ed sometime ago $o establish in
South Carolina, hi? native state. A
message was received in Camden on
Monday afternoon stating that he
would donate $20,000 with which*
to build a hospital. The wire w>asj
followed by the following ? letter '
which explains Itself:
"New York, "Fet). "26, lfrlSv ?
'?Mr. W. R. Eve, Jr.,, Chamber of
Commerce, Camden, S. C.'
"Dear Sir: I have your letter of
the 21st Inst, which you sent to
my father, Dr. S. Baruch.
"If you are sure that $20,000
will be sufficient to build a hospi-j
tal such as you need, I will be very ;
glad to subscribe that amount pro-(
vlded that It Is called the Camden j
Hospital.
"I judge from third paragraph]
of your letter that It is the idea!
of the John Burdell trustees to
use the fund mainly as an endow
nf$nt fund for the care of free pa
tients and not for the purpose of
building a hospital.
"Yours very truly,-.
"B. M. Baruch.!'
There was some anxiety felt aB
to the conditions of the letter ?
some fearing that It wtould conflict
with the fund left by the late Cap
tain Biurdell, but after carefully
reading the provisions of the will
trustees and all agreed that the
conditions of the will and Mr. Ba~
ruch's letter could be met. ^ r

KERSHAW COUNTY MAN
UNDER DEATH SENTENCE
FOK MVBDKH OV A UUOHU1AN
WILL HUN K\V FIUI1T TO
OA IN FHUKDOM.
Savannah, Gu., Fob. 26, ? Dr. W.
J. MoNaughtou, the K manual county
physician who is In Jail hero charg
ed with the killing of Fred Fland
ers, u?t Swbinsboro about two yours
ago, -in very ooufldout that he will
get, a new trial through the rouent
filing of an extraordinary motion 19
that end.
The doctor la one of the moot
cheerful prisoners In tho Savannah
Jail. He takes exercise every day
and makes his toilet etch morning
with as much care as if he was
preparing to go on his rouud of
calls. The doctor Ib a widower, JjJb
wife having died In 1007. He has
two children.
Flanders died as the- rosult of ar
senic poisoning, the state contends,
and it is also alleged that Dr. Mc
Naughton, who attended him, killed
him. Mrs. Flanders, the widow of
the dead man, was indicted with the
physician at the time of the investi
gation1 by the grand jury, but ehfe
has never been tjrled and probably
never will be.
Dr. McNaughton claims in his ex
traordinary motion for a new trial
that Flanders, during the time he
was treating him, was secretly tak
ing medicines and that he was re
sponsible for his- own death as he
told a friend at one time that the
medicines ho took were poisonous.
There is very wide interest in south
Georgia In this case because of the
extended acquaintance of the man
who is dead and of the prominence
of tho man accused of murdering
him. 1
,Dr. McNaughton will probably be
carried to Swalnsboro next month
to again bo sentenced .to death, th
supreme court having denied him a
new^ trial, and at that time the ex
traordinary motion for a now trial
will be filed;
Gol. F. H. Saffold, of Syainsboro,
is the leading counsel in the Mc
Naughton case and ho attaches groat
importance to the newly discovered
evidence. ? ? 1
Dr. McNaughton referred (o in
tho above press dispatch was born
near Bothune in this .county. ? and
left/ hero a good many years 'ago, .
www
where he graduated in medicine.
He is vwell remembered 'by tho old
er citizens, being a son of the late
Mrs. L. J. McNaughton. As a young
man he was well liked in his coxh
munlty apd has -tnany friends thru
out this section who regret to learn
of his trouble and all hope that he
can prove himself innocent of the
grave charges for which he has
been convicted. He is a brother
of Mr. P. L. McNaughton, a highly
respected citizen of Bfethune and
alsp has another brother# A. B. Mc
Nadghton, of Augusta, Oa. , His
father, W. D. N. McNaughton1, lost
