The meeting was a harmonious one and all present <were thoroughly interested in the suc? cess of the undertaking and-the benefits that will unquestionably result from such an or? ganization of the citv and county physicians. The constitution and by-laws will be adopted at the next ?eetiog and a permanent organi? sation effected. A .reference to the con6titu a of the Medical Association of a few years ago will doubtless relieve the committee of some trouble is drafting the new instru-" Eient. it is*o be hoped that there will be enough doctors *o fceep the new Association from dying as was the fate of the former after & few n?e?t?ng3.

A meeting of the stockholders in the ra-at ter of the new Sumter hotel was called Tor 6 o'clock Monday afternoon, at City Hall. At that hour many of the old stockholders were present, and quite a number of other citizens who are deeply interested in the suc? cess of the movement. Mr. W. M. Graham was requested to act as chairman, and Mr. Abe Rettenberg, secretary. Hon. Altamont Moses stated that the object of the meeting was to build a hotel for Sumter, and they had assembled to act upon certain propositions, one of which, made by Mrs. McGuinnis, he desired to submit. Mrs McGuinnis off-rs her lot, at the North? west intersection of Main ?nd Dueao Streets, fronting 200 feet on Main Street and extend? ing the same width and dis'ance along Dugan Street in exchange for $20,000 of stock on condition a $30,000 brick hotel is built thereon. She further agrees to subscribe $1,000 in money towards the erection of the hotel, and will not o* j-ct to the company's executing a mortgnge upon the property, in the event the necessary amount of money cannot be raised promptly. The following proposition of Geo. E. W. Moise was submitted : He will convey toa corporation for the purpose of building a hotel, P lot on Main Street, where the Jervey House now stands, measuring ou Main Street one hundred and forty feet, and two hundred feet deep, covering the front between the store now occupied by Mr. Craig and the one now occupied by Miss Miller, and including the buildings on that lot, for the sum of nine thou??nds dollars. And if this offer is ac? cepted he will take four thousand dollars of stock in the hotel, and if desired he will re? move the buildings from the said lot at bis own cost, he taking the material in the said buildings, to pay for the cost of removal. Mr. Cohen Wilson, it will be remembered, offered his lot on Liberty Street, feet for" $7,500, only $1,500 of wb icu he was willing to take in stock; the balance $6,000, he demanded cash for. Mr. Wilson further embarrassed the matter by insisting that no mortgage should be given on the property for aoy amount, however, small that the company might need. Mr. Wilson's proposition was considered out of the question, aud the meeting pro? ceeded to discuss the propositions of Gen. Moise and Mrs. McGuinnis. After remarks by Messrs. Schwartz, O'Don? nell, Rutenberg. Marica Moise, Altamont Moses and R. D. Lee, a srytion was made by Hon. Altamont Moses, and seconded by Mr. Lee to accept Mrs. McGuianis' proposition forthwith, and open the books of subscrip? tion. It was plainly demonstrated by Messrs. R. D. Lee and Altamont Moses and others, that the proposition of Mrs. McGuinnis, was the best business offer yet presented to the stock? holders. The rental of the stores and saloon would alone pay the interest on the invest? ment, irrespective of the rent from the hotel. If the building were put on Mr. G?hen Wilson's lot, being off from the business centre, the single item of income would be the rental from a single occupant, for the hotel. With respect to the offer of General Moise, the difficulty was that he only took $?,000 of stock ; that the lot offered by him was not a corner lot, having a frontage of only 148 feet, and being hemmed in, at the front on either side, by brick stores. Mrs. McGuinnis' lot, being a corner lot, having a frontage on a central portion of Main Street, of 200 feet at one hundred dol? lars a front foot was worth more than the Jervey House lot at sixty-five dol? lars, a front foot, mo3t especially when the greater part of this sixty-five dollars was tc be paid in cash, and all of the one hun? dred dollars in paper-besides Mrs. McGuin? nis subscribes $1,000 additional in cash. The following are the names of those, who bave subscribed : KEW SUBSCRIBERS Mrs McGuinnis, lot $20,000 00 " " cash 1,000 00 T J Tourney 2 500 00 Neal O Donnell 2.Ooo 00 R P Monaghan 2^000 00 J Ryttenberg & Son 1,000 00 R D Lee 500 00 A S & W A Brown 500 00 M Moise 500 00 A Motes 500 00 W M Graham 500 00 A White 500 00 C T Mason, Jr 500 00 J Kahn 500 00 Durant ?

The directors in the Masonic Temple Com? pany held a meeting a few days ago, and en? gaged Mr. A. W. Todd, architect, of Augus? ta, Ga., to draw the plans and make out the specifications for the temple. He has promised to have a rough dr?ft of the building ready by the middle of next week, and the p'aus will be submitted for approval by the 15th of May. It is expected that the building will be begun by June 1st, and when com? pleted will be a building towards which we cm point with pride, and will not be exceed? ed in the matter of design and finish by either the New Hotel or Graded School. It will be one story higher than the tallest block of stores on Main Street, and will have a hand? some iron frout, which will be painted aud perhaps sanded over. Mr. Todd will also furnish a rough plan of the proposed boteh Mr. Todd is the architect w ho drew tbe plans for the handsome resi? dences now being erected by Messrs. C. T. Mason and Horace Ilarby.

M. When the list was being car? ried around for the merchants' signatures and shown ns by Mr. Allan Flowers, we told him we were perfectly willing to close, but not to begin till May 13th (instead of May 1st, as list read) thinking it quite early enough, owing to our late Spring, and moreover the stores have never hereto tofore closed before the 10th of May. As for compassion and liberal hours accorded our salesmen we leave them to testify. We accede to the 'general demand in closing our store (from May 1st, at. six o'clock ) Our dress-making department will not close until May 15th, being impossible owing to rush of work and promised suits between now and above time.
