The Memorial Oration delivered i
Rev. John Kershaw in Charleston c
last Wednesday was a' very able pr<
daction and has elicited much of vet
favorable comment by the press of th
Sut?, and also we notice many papei
outside of the Sute complimenting
very highly.

Florence, S. C., with branches in difiei

It is a calamity to Florence.
The people of Georgetown treat tbei
Lord High Mayor worse than Sam ti?
des* her vagrants. That is, if we accei
the following paragraph from th
Georgetown Times as evidence : "Th
Mayor will have to work like a horse t
repair the damage done to thc street
and sidewalks by Tuesday night1
rsm."
; The Marion Star gives the dispen
saryites the following deserved dig no
der the ?hort ribs : "It looks decided!
suspicious that the W. C. T. U. an?
the prohibitionists, generally, sfaouh
he exulting over the fact that "we ar
to have pure liquors'* io cons? queno
of the dispensary. Who would hav
supposed that such folk were connois
sears rn such matters."
The Assistant Attorney General, W
O. Buchanan, Esq., has rendered tb?
opinion that the stock, carts, etc, o
towns and cities, coming ander persona
property, are subject to taxation foi
State and County purposes. This maj
be good law, but from a layman's pois
of view, it seems to be s strained con?
struction for a purpose. Is not the per?
sonal property of the counties subject,
then, to taxation for State purposes?
The Civil Service Commission will
soon succeed in making Civil Service a
jest instead of a reform, if they eon?
tinue prescribing such ridiculous exam
i nations as the test of qualification
for appointment. Secretary of Agri?
culture Morton relates the following in?
stance: "I appointed a man as door?
keeper over here the other day," said
he, "and the civil service commission
notifies me that they object to his
appointment. And what do you think
were the reasons of the commissioners?
The man failed to conjugate a Greek
verb, and it was an irregular verb at
that."
Secretary Carlisle is getting rid of the
chiefs of division in the Treasury De?
partment as rapidly as possible, much
to the disgruntlement of said Repub?
licans. These men have held office for
years, and from their conduct, seemed to
expect to bold on indefinitely, conse?
quently when Secretary Carlisle asked
for their resignations they raised a
kick. Ctrlisle is right, for all import?
ant positions should be filled by men
in symptthy with the administration,
and not its enemies who will hamper
i Mgr ead of ailing the ex-cut mn of the
policy of the President and Cabinet.

THE HOSPITAL.
The movement to establish a ho?
pi tal in th is city is safe in tb* hand
of the com mitte that bat charge of it
| but a few words in its behalf in th<
way of bringing the question before th?
public on its meiits will do no harm.
Surgery at this time is vastly different
from what it was twenty-five years ago,
and the success or failure of op?ration
and treatment depends largely upon the
appliances that the surgeon has at hand.
It is for this reason that any person
requiring any important or dangerous
operation is sent to a hospital by the
surgeons of the country and towns
where there is no hospital. It is not
bicaose tbey do not know how to per?
form the op?ration? or fear to undertake
them, but because they have not the
appliances needed to insure the safety
of their patients.
The hospita) is needed here as an
institution to care for the sick-poor of
city and eounty who are now dependent
solely upon private benevolence, and
who cannot aod do not reoeive that
skilled medical attention that is requir?
ed and that could bc obtained in a hos?
pital.
It is proposed that the i?oepitat shall
be a joint county and city institution
and under the patronage of the County
Medical Association of which all but
a few doctors of the eounty are mem?
bers. In this hospital the sick poor
would be treated, and to it the people of
this and surrounding counties would
coBiO for ?killed treatment.
The proctors of this institution
anticipate receiving aid from three
sources, vis. the county, ihe city, aod
the Medical Association, reinforced by
private subscript ions, lt is estimated
that ?0,000 is all that is needed to
establish aod fully equip the hospital at
the start, and should its patronage
demand an increase in its facilities
there will then be no difficulty ie ob?
taining the required funds. The
hospital established, rhe support of it
is assured. The various charitable
associations of ladies in this oity an- j
nually raise and expend in tbs care of
the sick and destitute a sum sufficient
to do much towards maintaining the j
hospital, where these unfortunates
would reoeive all the benefits of the
best attention an 1 the most skilled
! treatment.
We have confidence that the commit?
tee will foru slate a y\*\? tba? w$ rs
tommend itself to tbe public and secare
be establish awol of the hospital. Sumter
s growing sod it has reached tbe stage
ifhere a hospital is needed.
Sunday School Convention.
OSWKGO, S. C., May 8ih, 1893.
Ur. Editor :-The Annual Sunday School
Convention, of Swimming Peas Township,
Convened mt Rem bert's Church at ll a. m ,
Sai urda j, May C. The dny was all that could
be wished for each an occasion and the well
filled church evidenced the fact that the peo?
ple of this township are thoroughly interested
io Sunday school work.
The meeting was presided over by Hon. H
T. Abbot;, who, in an eloquent address
warmly welcomed the convention to the
"Historic Church of Rerobertg," and bespoke
for ali, that hospitality which for so many
years has- characterized* this community
Tbe regular programme was then taken np
the first part of which was a dialogue by
Misses Micha?, McLeod, McKionon and
Anderson, The remainder of the programme
consisted of recitations by the following
young lidies, Miss Mamie Andrews, Miss
Lyle McKinnon, Miss Maud Aman, Mis?
Outlaw arid Miss Wilson. All of the young
ladies reflected credit on themselves in the
rendering of their pieces, as did also Master
Willie Mic bau whose appeal wttb the collection
box was SD batan Pially rewarded. At the close
of thia fe*, tu re ol the convention the Presi
deal introduced the first of tb" invited speak
ers, Mr. Tho*. B. Fraser, Jr., of Sumter
Mr. Fraser in an earnest and suggestive
address brought to the attention of the com?
munity the principal features of Suaday
achoo! work, ?st was introduced Rev. D
Melvin MrLeod the Junior Minister of this
circuit. Mr. McLeod made a thoughtful talk
on the necessity of consecrated teachers for
successful work in the Sunday school. Rev.
T. M. Dent, of Bishopville, was present and
favored the audience with an earnest talk.
The addresses were listened to with marked
attention throughout and doubtless inspired
all with zeal for more efficient uer vice in this
importa ti : field of christian work.
A recess was then taken until 3.30 p. m.
daring which interval a bountiful repast was
spread and served to the throng surrounding
tbe table, by an efficient and obliging com?
mittee, lt is sufficient to say of this feature
of tbe occasion that the reputation of this
people for hospitality and the orderly man?
agement of such affairs was fully sustained.
During the remainder of (be interval the
crowd wes scattered over the grounds; the
elderly gentlemen were grouped about dis?
cussing politics, the weather, ?c.; the ladies,
those whose hands had prepared the feast
were busied in "returning to each ber own,'
and tho younger contingent could be seen
.trolling orer the spacious grounds or hold?
ing tele a ide* uoder the spreading oaks
Af 3 30 p. m , the conventiou was again
called to order and reports beard from the
Tarions schools represented. An election for
officers for the ensuing year wa? then held,
resulting as follows ; President, Dr. W. W.
Fraser; Vic? Pr?sident, W. J. A BU re we ;
Secretary, Mr. Kirvin.
Th convention then after receiving the
benediction, pronounced by Rev. W. H.
Wroton, adjourned to meet at Bethel Church
one year hence. "A."

HARRIS' Li TH IA WATER,
HARRIS' LITHIA SPRINGS, 8. C.
After a long and v.?ried experience in the use of Mineral Waters from many sources,
both foreign and domestic, r am tully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Water possesses
efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder uneqialed by any other
water of which I have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects npou my patients for the past
three years, during which time I have perscrioed it freely and almost ouifonoiy with benefit
ir th; medicable maladies above mentioned.
When fa i lu ie to relieve has occur i td, I have imputed it to insufficient ose of the Water,
for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should oe takea from two to
four weeks to secure i?s full temediai ?-ttn-ts A. N. TALLY, M. D.

J T. Harrris, Erq , Waterloo, S C : De ir Sir-I find great benefit from the use of
your Lithia Water. I cousider it a frae fi?nic and ge er?I regulator of the digestion, as well
as vvry efficacious in those diseases for ? hieb Liib'i? is considered somewhat of a specific.
JUDGE J B. KERSHAW.
My wife has been using your Lithia Water and is veiy much benefitted. I consider it
in everr respect equal to the famous Buffalo Lithia Water.
