the Late Captain Burdell.
Pi-, Simon Baruch arrived in Cam

wan donated to tho city of Camden
by his won, Mr. Bernard M. Baruch.

geiitleme.il consisting of the officers
of tho Camden Hospital, the officers

The party then accompanied Dr.

and Mi'h, W. M. Shannon, where lie
was entertained during his stay in
Camden, After lunch l)r. Baruch
and friends adjourned to the hospi
tal building and a complete inspec

Dr. Baruch expressed himself as
*ery gatified by the manner In wliic
the building had been completed.
At five o'clock in the afternoon
Oapt. and Mrs. W. M. Shannon en
W. Corbet, Dr. W. J. Burdell, Dr. A.
W. Cobett, Dr. W. J. Burdell, Dr. A^
W. Burnett and Mr. H. G. Carrison
in compliment to their guest, Dr.
Baruch.
At half pat^t seven in the evening
ji general reception was held at the
hospital building which was bril
liantly lighted throughout, and la
tor in the evening several addresses
were made whicli will bo found be
low. ?
The magnitude of the building and
its furnishings were a revelation to
many and as Dr. Baruch said in the
course of his remaks, "'1 shall tell
my son that I am delighted with the
medical arrangement of the hospital
and I shall also convey to him my
admiring surprise at the beauty and
completeness of the hospital, which
surpass my most sanguine anticipa
tion."
The hospital co.st in the neighbor
hood of fifty thousand dollar# and
is KHld to be one of the mo?t com-'
p'ete in the South. t The administra
tion building is to be found on tho
first floor, which Consists of some
seven rooms, and to the bark is the
\j which - contains the service buld
ings or wards as they are most gen
erally called, and the top floor is
the rooms furnished by different or
ganizations and individuals -to be us
ed by pay patients. On first floor
and in the L are the most impor
tant rooms. As you enter the build
ing on the right is the reception
room and next is tho superintend
ent's office. On the opposite side
is the doctors room or clinic, and
'he room which it is proposed to
make a free medical dispensary and
waiting roonis^ In the L. there are
thirteen beds for free patients in
?ach wing, and with the pay rooms
and others has a normal capacity of
twenty-two beds, and in emergency
oases could accomodate something
like thirty patients. All told tho
hospital contains thirty four rooms,
not counting tho numerous closets.
The building is steam heated from
a furnace in the basoment, where
also will be found the laundry and
kitchen, the meals being prepared in
the basement and sent to the second
tloor by a neat elevator route.
The entire building including fur
Rishings and everything isi In spot
loss whito and gives the whole tho
most sanitary appearance. We were
ahown the linen room funished by
the Ladies Auxiliary which was in
deed pretty. Everything snowy whito
*nd the blankets of the very best
material. Be it said to tho credit
?f the good colored, women of the
city and county that tlioy had a big
hand in furnishing many of the arti
cles of linen and they have worked
m a quiet way In furnishing many
things that will be useful for many,
years to come.
Those furnishing rooms in the
building were the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, tho ladies of
the Beulah neighborhood, Mr. Wm.
Ueisenheimer, and Mrs. Kamijpsky,
RU of which are to bo used fair pay
Patients. A 1
Every possible conveniences has
been thought of In the eaulpmenti
One especially worthy of note is tho
light signal system for the use of
patients in calling nurses instead of
the old fashioned noisy call bell.
These lights are so fixed that it is
impossible for an attendant, no mat
ter what part of the building she
may be in they will readily see any
call from any patients room. This
"ystem was originated by Dr. Boozer
*nd Mann of the Perry-Mann Electri
cal Co., of Columbia, and is certain
ly something unique.
Miss Belle Jackson, of Winches
ter, Kentucky, Is tho superintend
ent In charge. Miss Jackson has
had years experience in tho capac
ity of a trained nurse and has enter
ed heartily into the duties of the ^in
stitution. In evory way she is ' on
the job," and she takes grent pleas
ure and feels proud of the fact 'tint
?he can show visitors through such
an elepnnt building.
Ml^fl Fishburne. originn'iy from
f,hr\rlesthn, but more recently of the
^ennoll Infirmary, of Rock Hill, is
tho efficient housekeeper, ami Ih u1h< I
polite uud accomodating.
James Martin, of Tallahassee, Kla.
has tho distinction of being 'ho firm i
pitlent in tho now hospital. Hoj
wan taken from u p:uu?ungoi? (rAln '
on Tuesday an ho whs on his way
from Korshaw as an attache of the
John Hparks circus. Martin, who Ih
a negro, was found to ho desperately
i 1 with pneumonia, and the conduc
tor learning that the hospital had
juHt opened thought it a good op
portunity to got rid of bin hurdon.
Martin is a patient of Dr.A.VV. Bur
nett, and uh MIhh Jack won said sis
who loft his room Tuesday morning;
"James, you will got the host of cart
and we hope to dismiss you soon."
And if good and kind treatment, will
havo anything -to do 'with his ease,
wo expect tho first patient to im
prove rapidly.
Tho building was designed by Ar
chitect J. JB. Urquhart, and built
by tho ltichland Construction Co., i
with foreman VV. S. Peden in charge,'
Up to yesterday afternoon there
had been five patients entered In
the now building? ?two white and
threo colored.
Capt. Hluumoo't) Addivttu.
It is my privilege as President of
the board of directors of the Cam
don Hospital to preside at this gath
ering which is assembled here to
Indulge in some simple but earnest
ceremonies in the dedication of this
hospital building, and by request I
shall make a short statement to
you of. tho origin and construction
of this donation.
Mr. Bernard M. Baruch presents
to you in its completion this splen
did modern hospital building on
spacious grounds, a gift from a no
bio spirited gentleman to the city
of his birth and childhood, and a
memorial erected by a loving son to
a distinguished father.
You should all know and MUv Ba
ruch requests that 1 so state to you,
that the Camden Hospital was made
possible by the great beneflclence: of
Capt. .John Burdell, who spent the
greater portion of his life of ninety
years in this county. Capt. Burdell
was a man who might be termed a
rugged character, honest, Industriou
and sober, strong minded, bold and
brave. Ho was apparently an aus
tere man, but the last great chari
ty of his life shows that deep down
in his love for his fql
low man, and especially for those
who needed love and help and com
fort and charity in poverty and In
suffering.
When tho last Will and Testament
of Capt. Burdell was published it.-,
proved to bo a remarkable document
He had generously provided for his
kindred and had left to this one
great charity a fund which we hope
may in time approximate $100,00 0.
This Will was most intelligently
planned and arranged in every do
tail and particular and shows Capt.
Burdell was a man of. unusual intel
ligence and business sagacity.
The four trustees of the hospital
fund created under this Will were
well chosen, his son L)r. W. J. Bur
dell being the only one named per
sonally, the other' three" Trustees
wfere designated by their official re-,
latlon, tho President of the Bank
of Camden, the Pastor of the Pres
byterian Church and the Rector of
the Episcopal Church, and th?ir suc
cessors.
Capt. Burdell has done a noble
work in his bequest for tho relief
of tho suffering poor . of Kershaw
county in all tho years to come.
Just after tho close of tho Civil
War a young man of distinguished
Gorman ancestry, Dr. Simon Baruch,
came to Camden to cast his lot with
our people. Ho mado conspicuous
success in his profession hero and
after about fifteen years of active
practice ho moved to tho broader
field of professional work in New
York city.
His sojourn in Camden was for
his own good and for the good of
our dear old city. Dr. Baruch took
high position both in professional,
and social life in Camden.
Ho becam.ee a close friend to our
best citizens of the old days and I
have heard him say in late years
that tho inspiration which he took
from his close association with Cam
den's noble people in his early lifo
was a most valuable assett to him
in the struggles he has made and
the success ho had attained in tho
larger field of his endeavors.
Dr. Baruch is now one of the
most conspicuous figures in the pro
fessional lifo in Now York city and
his recent mission abroad under a
Goverpment appointment in connec
tion with . sanitary matters has
spread his fame thruout Europe.
Our distinguished friend is here
today, bearing from his son, Mr.
Bernard M. Baruch, a deed of gift
to this splendid hospital.
There is a great deal more I
should like to say concerning Dr.
Baruch and his interesting family
but time will not permit on this oc
casion.
Some months ago Mr. Bernard
M. Baruch, a prominent and wealthy
business man of the city of New
York, visited Canulen, the home of
his birth and childhood. There was
love in his heart that prompted this
?iftlt. He had for.aonm years con
sidered tho erection of a hospital
as a memorial to his distinguished
father. Dr. Simon Baruch. Ho had
learned of the great charity of the
late Capt. Burdell and at once deter
mined to Inaugurate a plan to make

Appropriation of $25,000.

Cull for a systematic' ami concert- j
??l tampaign by the militia of this
Stilus )iuh boon issued from the head
quarters of I ho National Guard As
sociation of i$ou* h Carolina, in whlc
ail militiamen aro urged to advocate
tlio permanent Increase of tbe ap
propriation for the maintenance of
the militia to $25,00(J. This State
ig giving $12,000 yearly to the mill
tin, and when this amount is divid
ed by the number of organizations
i. allOWB about $225 each.
The Slate association also asks
that the adjuatnt general's office be
filled by appointment.
A. M Legare, secretary of the Na
tional Guard Association of South
Carloina, hats issued the following
statement:
"'The main argument presented
by the militia to wupport the in
creaue 1k that: Allowing a general
average of armory rents alone of
$20 per month, the appropriation
will be moro than consumed by this
item, and there will be no funchi
available for other nocessary ex
penses that aro Incidental to the
upkoep of the companies. Some or
ganizations have u little higher in
come and get along fairly well from
a financial standpoint, but the av
erage citizen is ignorant of the up
hill proposition of the ' company
commander to keep the organiza
tion recruited to the strength re
quired by law as no special prlvi- j
lOges are attached to membership In
the ipilltia; and the services to be
rendered after enlistment are se
verely stringent, so in order to pro
cure and koep the propor enrollment
It is necessary to offetf some induce
ments in addition to patriotism, and
this costs. *
"On the other hand, the argu
ments presented for the maintaining
of the present strength of the mili
tia, vi&Jp three regiments, is that:
About one-third of the" counties have
no militia organizations, and if the
appropriation Is not increased it
will be nocssary to eliminate tine of
the regiments (12 companieb.il and
thliyr-will leave the State In /a far
worse condition if rTlUb-'" i?
needed, and it is not necessary to
present any specific occasions when
such a call would be made.
" 'Comparison^ are invidious,' but
it. is well to consider the fact that
this state is next to toot in the a
mount of its support of its militia,
and the averrago difference is about
$15,000, other states, such as Geor
gia, Tnenessee, Alabama, North Car
olina, etc., providing in general an
amount of about $50,000 each.
"Another measure that will be ad
vocated before the general assem
bly at the coming session will be
tha changing of the. laws regarding
the selection of the adjutant gener
al. South Carolina is ono of tho
two States of the Union that has its

(Tho moaning of line officers! being

"In the past, in all the states, (he

fauitH of this system and havo
changed Jt in accordance with the
above measure."
K. C. vonTresckow, president of
the National Guard association, has
addressed the following letter to the
members:
"'Among the measures relating to
the militia that will be presented to
the legislature during the coming
Beasion, the two of most vital inter
est will be:
" 'A permanent appropriation for
tho maintenance of the militia, in
tho sum of $25,000.,
"The changing of the law regard
ing tho election of tho adjutant gen
eral, bo that he will be appointed by
the governor upon the recommenda
tion of tho militia officers.
"It is not necessary to present
any arguments to support the neces
sity of tho above measures to a mi
litiaman, except to call attention- to
tho fact wo are one of two states
Who still have their adjutant gener
al elected by tho people at large, but

"'It is suggested that each organ
ization constitute itself a subcom
mittee for this purpose, reporting to
tho president of the National Guard
j association the results of such cam
paign by them; and also, that all
I other officers work to the same end.
By this means, these matters can
