WefDet ?mi THE HOHPITAL 8ITK. Meuit>er of IrfuHe# Auxiliary M*k?i Kuxk^Ioiw, / Since the Hospital has be<?n an assured fact*, it behoove* u? to air our views on a proper location for it, and it In to be hoped that no mistake will be made in its choloe. To this writer the essentials for a suitable location would be first of all space, for not only the building Itself, but for a nurse's home and large, attractive, shady grounds and vegetable garden, from which the hospital could be supplied. Second-; ly, a central situation. Thirdly, suf ficlent Isolation from other build ings and a location that would be so attractive that it would be an ornamental feature of the city, in stead of a drawback to It. If it is perched on some bare spot, with out trees or shrubbery, mo matter how symmetrical the^ building may be it will not have a cheery, "homey" look, and oveu tho'i | a landscape gardener might be set ; at .once to laying off the grounds and putting out trees and flowers, think of the years It will take for i | them to make any show or give the needed shade! Hospital enthusiasts j want to have their dreams of hosplt al completeness realized NOW, not \lix the years to come, when we may not be here to enjoy it and it is hoped that those In authority will give heed to these thoughts. * 4 There are Just the requisites for , all the conditions and requirements] named to be found in the High School lot, and It seems to have suggested itself to nearly overyono. The building could be retained eith er In Its present location or rolled to one side for an Ideal home for the hard-worked nurses, and the hospital could face the park or Jthe street (the Park preferably )? ? j and there would be ample_space for the flower and vegetable gardens, and It would be sufficiently central aaWell as sufficiently isolated, and| best of all would be the blessing of the beautiful trees, to say nothing of the great blessing of having the Park so near. In my minds ^ye, I can see the pleasures of the sick and worn as they stroll or lounge on comfortable benches 'neath the shade 6f the trees and breathe the fresh, Ufe-glving air, ahd feel sure they'd bless those who chose a situation where the convalescents would- not have to depend on taking air and exercise in the glare of a piazza and grounds without shade. To trace the advantages further, the sale of this property wouldf al so make it possible to build a much needed addition to the Graded School in the jway of an auditorium and the rooms needed for the high er grades, and the latter arrange ments would surely be more' con venient to the teachers wtoo have to ply between the two buildings now. So it looks to one who has the good of the hospital sincerely at heart and who is A Member of the Auxiliary. BETHUNE NEWS ITEMS. Bethune, S. C., March 6. ? Mr. T. M.

Spain, Presiding Judge at the Spring term1 of Court of Kershaw County, year 1912: We, the Grand Jury for Kershaw County, beg to present to the Court the following to wit: We have passed on all bills hand ed us by the Solicitor1, and have visited the various public buildings and we find that the Court House has several bad leaks, and we- re commend that the prosper authori ties be instructed to attend to this matter at once, a# we consider that the buildipg is being badly damag ed by those leaks. We would also recommend that some arrangements be made about the ' heating arrange ments. We do not know where the blame lies, but the recurrence of the paat two days should not occur again. We have been practically without heat. We also recommend that the bed ding at the Jail be replaced with new bedding, as some now used is in bad condition, and unfit for use. Otherwise we find the Jail in good condition, * The County Poor House seems to be in good condition, and the inmates there are well cared for and are entirely satisfied.. Owing to the continued heavy rain the roads are in bad condition, but they are receiving proper attention by the authorities as far as possi ble under conditions. We desire to call especial attention to a crossing about three mileB south of Camden on the Southern Railroad, and one one about four mllea north of Cam den also on the Southern railroad. These should receive attehtlon at once. We also desire to call the atten tion of the school authorities of District No. 1, to the fact thai some- arrangements for water at the Malvern Hill sohool is badly needed, ?there should be borne arrangement for getting water without so much trouble as It now is. - Wewill make examination of the County officers' books some time between now and the setting of the lfcst term of ["court. ?

[ "It is generally BupoBedp that the path of a prima donna 1b all j rosea," wrote Mlaa Hall, "but every now and theifa thorn appears. To gain success, diligent and earnest work is absolutely neceBBary. You ! must also be in accord with your work and no matter how hard It ! .may seem you must school yourself to look upon it not as labor, but rather in the light of amusement. . j Diligence and application accomplish wonders and they bring about auc 1 cess, and with success attained you have everything, or at least as near 1 everything as is possible, in thia terrestrial sphere!" "One of my moat delightful expe riences in musical work, and one wVilch illustrates a phase of admira tion which it was a pleasure to re ceive,, occurred during my stay at the Broadway Theatre on one of the Thakanglving days a few years ago. The house was crowded with college boys from Columbia and Yale Universities. At the closo" of one of my solos they literally filled tho stage with flowers and insisted that I personally pick up each and | every 'one. I remember that they took umbrage at the well meant ef-| forts of some of the members of the company wlio started to assist me. The music was stopped, the* flowers were gathered and- the play went on "Those posies are withered and gone 'ere now, but their crumbled petals and the remembrance of their] delightful fragrance, together with the kindness and light-heartedness which prompted the Incident has made, forever In my heart, a soft place for the American college boy."

Andomon, of Hock Hill, to have charge In thin county of car rying out the Itork J 1111 plan of keeping up the price of cotton met and lBtsuod the tallowing letter to the farmers* of this county. The committee cpnslsts of Messrs. N< O Donnell, (, Manning and a, a. Marvin, throe of tho, foremost bus iness men ami farmers of the coun ty. and their ideas will no doubt ho heard with the doopest attention hy the fanners of the county with *vjhoin all three of tho gentlemen aro in tho clo?,o?t tuoch. Tho let ter 1b: To tho farmer* of Sumter County:,'; The undersigned having been ap pointed a commit too for this coun ty to promote and onc.ourago what is familiarly known to every fann er in the State an The Hock I11II Plan, have studied tho sUmo very carefully and recommends Its adop tion to ovory farmer in the county, largo or small, white and colored, as the most practical means of re ducing the cotton acreage and ob taining a living profit as a result of their labor. The crop oi Id 10 in round num bors wao practically 12,000,000 bales, which sold for a billion dol lars. The crox> of 1011, conceded now ito bo at least K>, 000,000 bales, will not yield more than $660,000 000 to $7000,000,000. Wo aro pro ducing 3,000,0000 moro bales of cot ton and selling It for $3000,000,000 less. To bring the matter nearer home, Sumter, from present indications, will produco this year 60,000 bales of cotton, for which her farmers will receive probably $2,700,000, against 38,000 bales last year that yielded them fully as much. .No greater argument than this should bo brought to bear on our farmers to impress upon them the necessi ty of reducing their acreage. Sta tistics Bhow that the smallest crops of cotton bring * tho most money. Another, big crop aud it meansx m our opinion, 6 cent cotton. , Not only do we rcccommend a reduction In acreage, as provided for under the Itock Hill plan, but a corresponding reduction In fertlll-\ zer.- It Is useless for a farmer to reduce his acreage, if he is going to increaso his fertiliser and there by produce the same amount of cotton. What Is .needed is a " re duction in cotton. In the matter of fertilizer wo would recommend to every farmer toHise his seed, as they are worth more to him at\ fer tilizer than he can obtain for them on the market, From what wo can learn manufacturers are quoting [ ammonlatcd fortlligors at about last year's prices, and by mixing kalnlt and acid with your cotton seed you can get a good fertilizer for much less than you can buy tho toanu- . factured goods. A oheap crop must ' be made If satisfactory results Are to be expected. Canvassers will call on you a lit tle later with pledges for your sig nature, and wfyoi) they do, meet them cheerfully, and do not' de, tain them. Sign the pledge, and let them go on their way rejoicing, as ?hfe time ?
