boats, the after-house and flooding the saloon,
and washing chairs and furniture overboard.
After reaching Charleston, Capt. Robinson

A True Snake Story.
Mr. W. H. Hodge, who lives near Lukens
& Riefsnyder's Mill, relates tbe*following
snake story : On Sunday evening before last
on returning home, the cries of the nurse of
his little grand-child, attrated his attention
to a snake about a yard long which was on
the joist of his piazza with about half of the
body hanging down and moving around the
cage of the canary bird. The top of tho cage
being of tin, the snake could not reach around
far enough to get to the bird, but was
apparently doing its best to get the bird,
while the bird was shrieking and fluttering at
a fearful rate. The snake was so intent on
getting the bird that it did not notice the
approach of Mr. Hodge, who knocked it off
as it was swinging it3 head around the cage. It
was what is known as a chicken snake. Mr.
Hodge is pazzled to known bow the snake
got opon the piazzt joist.
Tobacco Barn Burned.
Mr. R. M. Jenkins had the misfortune,
abont ten days ago, to lose a second tobacco
barn this season from fire. " The loss is about
$200 with no insurance, as the insurance
companies refuse to take risks this year on
tobacco barns.

Putting Our Cotton States at the

It is understood in financial circles that
the funds required to move the new cotton
ciop will be sought in Europe, not btw.g
obtainable here. !f Europe shall supply the
money she may ?Iso dictate ihe price to be
paid for the cotton. To this condition of
help'essnes has the operation of the Sherman
act reduced the cotton producers. Yet Con?

A HOSPITAL.
The Need and Practicability of
Establishing One in Sumter.
It is a dut)- due humanity for the well to-do
and able-bodied to care for the injured and
diseased. Sumter County has a population
of nearly forty-five thousand. Among this
member there are always many who are
sufferers from chronic diseases, wounds or
malformations, that are curable by surgical
means, but daily experience has shown that
satisfactory, practical results are impossible
of accomplishment except in a duly appointed
and properly m*intaine.1 building (hospital).
Those among the wealthy who are so afflicted
seek assistance (usually at great expense) in
Charleston or some Northern city, while those
of limited means are compelled to suffer with?
out aid. If there were suitable rooms within
our reach provided with the necessary
appliances for properly performing surgical
operations, with trained assistants for the
after care of patients, much of this suffering
could be relieved, and many lives prolonged
that are now sacrificed, while the expense
incurred by a prolonged residence in a dis?
tant city could in many instances be avoided
by those who are able to pay for treatment.
Sucb, at least, has been the opinion of a
majority of the physicians of the county for
some time past, and believing that-if -the idea
were properly presented to the people of
Sumter County they would not fail to
respond ; recognizing the fact that the
establishment and maintenance of such an
institution can only be accomplished by intel?
ligent concerted action ; and believing that
the medical prcfessiou of the county was the
proper body to take the initiative in the
matter, the Sumter County Medical Asso?
ciation at its annual meeting, held May 12th
1893, adopted the following resolution:
"Resolved that a committee be appointed to
investigate the feasibility of the enterprise
(i. e. the erection of a hospital, ) and if possible
to formulate a plan for the establishment
of a hospital in the city of Sumter for the
benefit of the citizens of Sumter County and
under the auspices of the Sumter County
Medical. Association."
Under the above resolution a committee was
appointed and a report, satisfactory in every
particular, was made to the County Medical
Association at its regular meeting Aug. 11 tb.
The idea in the minds of the committee was
that it would be best, if possible, to erect a
hospital building to contain four wards-one
each for whites, male and female, and colored
male and female-an operating room and
other necessary rooms, as kitchen, nurse's
room, etc.-possibly several private rooms
suitable for the wants ot patients able and
willing to pay for their board and medical
attention. It is desirable then, first to raise
enough money by private subscription to
purcb -z a suitable lot and erect a properly
appointed building. When this much is ac?
complished we feel that a long step will have
been taken.
The maintaiuance of tbe hospital, such as
the furnishing of drugs and surgical dressings
and suitable food for the inmates, will depend
upon the various charitable persons and in?
stitutions in the county.
The cost of maintaining each bed, per year,
will be about $200.00. We believe 'that
many churches in the county will be willing
to maintain at least one bed a year Of the
smaller churches two, three or four may club
together so maintain a bed
We think we can reasonably expect the
several towns in the county to devote a cer?
tain amount each year towards the maintain?
ance of oae or more beds. The sick people
of the poor house we think we may reason?
ably expect to care for in the free wards, the
county authorities paying the actual cost of
raaintainflnce.
As to who shall be the atiending corps of
physicians that will be left, probably to the
choice of the association or to a board of
trustees &i may hereafter be determined. No
fees will be expected by this corps from those
received into tile free wards.
It is hoped that enough money will be
raised to build and fit up several private
rooms in the hospital building. Occupants
of sucb rooms would be expected to pay a
reasonable amount for board and nursing,
which amount will go towards the support of
the hospital.
The above being a summary of the views of
the association*, the following committee was
appointed to solicit subscriptions to the
hospital fund, and, if necessary, appoint
auxiliary committees.

The Silver Dollar's Buying Power.
"The silver dollar buys a3 much as a gold
dollar. Then why object to the silver dollar
or to the unlimited coinage of such dollar?"
This is a question often asked by the advocates
of the free coinage of silver, as if it proved
their case. It is often asked also by persons
without bias, who have not taken the trouble
to consider by what means the government
has since 1879 kept greeubacks, as well as
silver dollars, at par with gold. It will be
remembered that in July, 1864, one dollar of
our currency was worth but 38.7 cents in
gold. In July, 1870, five years after the war,
it was worth but 85 6 cents in gold. Thc
greenback was not brought tc.par with gold
till, under an act of Congress, the Secretary
of the Treasury, in 1879, by selling bonds,
accumulated ?100,000,000 of gold reserve
now in the treasury for the redemption of
greenbacks, in case anybody should wish to
turn his greenbacks into gold. As soon as
people saw that they could get 100 cents in
gold for their paper money, dollar for dollar,
they ceased to take less for it. And, as is
usual in such cases, as soon as they saw the
gold was there to redeem their greenbacks
they ceased to wish them redeemed, preferring
redeemable paper to metal, as being mote con?
venient to handle. Thus $346,000,000 of
greenbacks were brought to par and kept
lhere. A reserve of $100,000,000 of gold was
enough for that purpose. Under a clause of
the Sherman act and the practice of the govern?
ment, it bas been the policy of the treasury to
keep all the other kind3 of money in circula?
tion at par with gold, but no further accumu?
lation of gold has been provided by law to do .
this work. In July, 1893. there were $419,
000,000 of silver dollars (mostly in circula?
tion as certificates), $346.000,0*00 of green?
backs and about$l40,000,000 of silver bullion
treasury notes-or $900,000,000 in the aggre?
gate-to be kept at par with gold, on the
strength of the treasury's dwindling gold re?
serve At that time thi3 reserve had declined
from $193,000,000, in 1888, during Mr. Cleve?
land's first term, to less than $100,000,000.
This amount of gold has been insufficient to
inspire confidence in the government's ability
to keep $900.000,000 of greenbacks and 55
cen?P silver dollars at par? especially aa it has
been seen that this enormous burden is being
added to under the Sherman act by the pur?
chase ot 4,500,000 ounces of silver per |
month.
Hence the panic, (?old was being exported
What if the whole $100,000,000 of gold
reserve were withdrawn from the treasury by
holders of greenbacks, certificates or tre^ury
notes? Then the government it was seen,
would no*, tie able to keep the 55 cent silver
dollar at par with gold. There was good
reason to fear this, since the excess of gold
exportso?er imports in 1890 was$18,000,000;
in 1891, $72,000,000; in 1892, when our ex?
ports of crops were exceptionally large, $13,
000,000. In 1893 gold exports have been on
a vastly increased scale. To July 1, ISO.'t,
$140,600,000 of treasury notes wert- issued
under the Sherman act} but our net exports
of gold in the same time wen- $141.OOH,OOO
The goodness of the silver dollar berny de?
pendent on the ability of the treasury to ex?
change gold for it, the holder of it, investors
and others, became alarmed nt the prospect of
the treasury's losing ali its gold.
The reason why theyfclver dollar now buys
a's much as the gobi ?loll.ir is clear from the
foregoing. < tf the silver dollar 55 cents is
gold vnlue and the rest is hut, or mere
implied promise io pay. Sn long HS the
gold reserve is maintained at Washington, the
silver dollar ?ill continue tobe worth loo
cents, because the treasury will be able to
give, in eflVcr, a gold dollar for j?, (-lear out
the gold reserve ?nd the silver dollar will
go for only what the silver in it is wort ii
-55 cents. Free coinage is folly because it
ntenns multiplying Itght dollars enormously,
and so making it Impossible for the treasury
to keep the silver dollars and greenbacks nt
par with gold. With free coinage thc silver
dollar would speedily lose half* its purchasing
power.- Baltimore Sun.
