Memphis Appeal-Avelaucho of Juno 16, contain* the following bit of new* interesting to Mr. Btobo D. ?ar il nglon'e numerous friends In Lauren*: Mr. 8. D. Garllngton, of Laurons, 8. C, was seen by an Appeal-Avalnnehe re porter at Gaston's yesterday. Mr. Gar ilngtou has made the trip from South Carolina for the purpose of looking nftor his rarm of 1,100 aores. which is located near Woodstock, on the Newport News and Mississippi Valley railroad, about 10 miles north or this olty. . While looking over his farm Mr. Gar Ungtou made several discoveries, which he thinks may prove profitable, one of which was a large deposit of gravel, mixed with iron ore, located In the vi cinity of a oreek which runs through his plsoe. The specimens of this gravel shown are apparently good material for road building. A large grove of sassafras treos which grow upon the hill where this gravel Is round Indicates the presence of a mix ture of brown hematite Iron ore with grave), as does the white olay knowu to miners as "white horse," which was found by Mr. Garllugton at various places through tbo gravel bed. The mixture of Iron ore In the gravel greatly Increases Its value for road building pur poses, as the Iron oauses it to concrete very quickly. As the location Is so near Memphis, it may prove an advantage to this olty as well as to the owner. There is on this same farm a largo spring through which air or gas Is con tinually bubbling up. No one has ever Investigated as to what kind of gas this Is, but as this Is the way In which natural gas Is moat generally discovered, Mr. Garllngton says he intonds to test it by placing a large funnel over the spring, and thus be onablod to find out whethor the gas is combustible or not.

Children Cry for Pitchers Caatoruv Medical Ethics. To JSdltor of Advkbtiskr: I saw In last weeks Advertiser the notice of our Secretary Id ref erence to the July meeting of the County Medical Society and I want to k of you spaco enough for a few remarks to the physicians of Laureus Couuly and tho public generally upon the aims and ob jects of this Society. The impres sion prevails In some sections that the Medical Society is some sort of secret order whose chiof aim and purpose is to make up "Black Lists," to maintain a high fee-bill, and to legislate generally against the public and those who are pot members, and in favor of those doctors who.are. Such an impres sion was conceived in ignorance, brought forth in prejudice and has been nursed and nurtured by some physicians who hope to build them selves up by misrepresenting others. The Medioal Society is not a secret or partisan organization.? Were its proceedings of interest to the general public, they would be admitted to all its sessions. The Lauren* County Medical Society is a voluntary association of reputa ble physicians for tho purpose of? and I quote from Its constitution? "of advancing medical knowledge, the elevation of professional char acter, the extension of all means looking to tho relief of suffering or tho euro of diaoaso and tho im provement Of its members, will) the protection of their interests." This is its platform. Its code of Ethics In a nut shell is "Be a gen tleman" and it* motto "TheGolden Rule." Over oue half the profes sion already bolong to it and its membership Is increasing as its usefulness expands. Its members derive benefit In exact proportion to what they do for the Society.? Thoso who have gained nothing from it are those who have given nothing to it. There are obliga tions of physicians to tho public and obligations of the public to their physicians. Would that these were more generally understood! It is the duty of physicians to enlighten the public. I would say to every doctor in Laurens County "Give your patients a copy of the Constitution and Code of Ethics of the South Carolina Medical Asso ciation" of which our Society is a branch, and ask them to road it, Thon they will be better able to dis tinguish tho true physician from the impostor and sham,and under stand perhaps, as they have never done before, the attitude of honor able medicine. There is nothing secret about the doctors creed, and it should bo more widely read by tho laity. The benefits to be deriv ed from tho combination and com mingling of those engaged in the same occupation are too generally admitted to require argument. In such meetings, as an eloquent law yer of another state said lately, "truth is brought to light by tho friction of discussion; error is de tected in tho crucible of disputa tion. The doctor who does not mingle and debate with his breth ren bee mes a laggard in the race, as useless as the vermiform appen dix and frequently as fruitful a source of danger." At the recent meeting of the South Carolina Medical Associa tion in Surater, a prominent citizen of that city in welcoming tho dele gates used the following striking and truthful illustration: "Societies have been aptly com pared to a heap of embers, which when separated, soon languish, darken und expire, but if placed together, glow with a ruddy intense heat?a fit emblem of the strength, security and usefulness of such union." Then let each ono renew his in terest in the County Medical So ciety and in all our dealings exem plify Its true aim and object. M. D. Waterloo Jottings.

Tho Laurens Advertiser ex presses a preference, if tho next Governor is to bo such a man as Oapt. Tillman, that a third term shall bo granted to the incumbent, as it wants the pure stuff and not an imitation. In this preference wo most hartily concur, while not hankering after the particular pat tern of a Governor such as fills the office now. But it will be far bet ter for the State and tho Demo cratic party if the reformers Insist upon a third term for Governor Tillman, instead of trying to find a counterpart in their own ranks, as they will fail to got his equal in many respects, aud the imitation would chiefly consist in perpetuat ing the most irritating features of his administration, without his administration, without his ability to keep tho reformers together aud Inside the party lines. Of course, wo prefer a different typo of man for the offico of Governor, but give us another term of Tillman rather than a resort to tho counterfeit ro somblance. Taereformers will act wisely in choosing a more molerato and conciliatory candidate, but tho element now in tho saddle doos not want such a man, for he would bo apt to cement tho discordant factions to a large degree and then "Othello's occupation would be gone."?Greenville Mountaineer.
