WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24, 1907.
The Sumter Watchman was founded in
1850 and the True SouLiron in 1866. The
Watchman and Southron now has the com?
bined circulation and in?aence of both of
the old papers, and is manifestly the best
advertising medium in Sumter.

Dr. . Jersey in his address before the
Medical Association at Bennettsville,
illuminated a hitherto obscure mat?
ter. He told who encompassed the ?
-defeat of W. F. Stevenson, when a
candidate for attorney general and
R. I. Manning for governor. Accord?
ing to Dr. Jervey the doctors did it,
and he seems proud of the job. We j
were under the impression that Mr. j
Manning's defeat was brought about j
hy an issue more important than the J
.spite work o*~ those doctors who be- j
come viciously angry when the legis-j
,lature refused to require horneo- !
pathetic doctors to pass an examina- j
tion Jby a board of allopathists before j
receiving a license to practice their
profession. If Dr. Jervey's boastful
claim in respect to the political pow?
er of the association of which he is a
member be true, then the South Car?
olina Medical Association of Allo?
pathic Physicians is animated by very
narrow, selfish and vindictive politi?
cal motives. Messrs. Stevenson and
Manning are not dishonored by the
enmity of Dr. Jervey and his con?
freres.
During the last campaign some of
ns were eager to elect a governor op?
posed to the State dispensary, and
the defeat of the Hon. R. L Manning
was an incident to that result neces?
sary, but not in itself desirable.
Newspapers which have been ac?
credited with influence in causing
Mr. Manning's defeat will not dis?
pute any claim which others set up
:f or having accomplished it. South j
Carolina is fortunate when the choice
for governor is between such men as
Messrs. Ansel and Manning, and,
sharply as we may have opposed the
latter because of an honest differ
once as to a matter of political ex?
pediency, we could find nothing to
jxloat over in his personal defeat. The
unhappy State dispensary having
'5>een finally disposed of, there is
abundant room and need for Mr.
Manning's future participation in
State affairs, and while we are bliss?
fully ignorant of the offence that he
has given to some members of the
State Medical association by his
course in che State senate, we are
confident that he will not lack
friends from the ranks of his former
opponents if no more substantial ob
?ec-tion shoul? be urged to his can?
didacy in another contest for respon?
sible office. The vital principle,
moreover, survives, we fancy, in the
Hon. W. F. Stevenson.-News and
- Courier.
WOMAN TAKES HONORS.
Bliss Saunders Graduates at Head of
Class in Charleston Medical Col?
lege.
Charleston. April 22.-The 7 S th
annual commencement exercises of
the Medical College of South Carolina,
?which will take place on Wednesday
night at the Academy of Music, will
be especially memorable for the rea?
son that it marks the first time in the
history of the venerable institution
?ind probably in the history of any
medical college in this country that
the first honor of the graduating class
:yoes to a woman. Miss Eleanor S.
Saunders of McConnellsville.
Dr. Saunders has certainly distin?
guished herself in her studies and
sha graduates from the college as one
of the best equipped and most efl
dent students of many years. There
have been five women graduates in
medicine, Drs. Viett, Hirschman, Mc?
Millan and now Dr. Saunders, and
three in parmacy, Drs. Butler, Fisch?
er and Colston, but none of the grad?
uates have had the distinction which
now corr.es to Dr. Sanders. In speak?
ing of tho matter today, Dr. Edward
F. Parker, the dean of the faculty,
said that he thought that Miss Saun?
ders had made a record her herself
not only here but throughout the
United State?, as he cannot recall of
the graduation of any woman with
first honors at a medical college.
Probably the oldest woman in ac
?.ve journalistic work Mrs. Chase!
Hoey, the English novelist and news?
paper writer. Mrs. Hoey is 76 years
hut bears the burden of her years
lightly. .She is still a busy contribu?
tor to the press, for which she be?
gan writing fifty-four years ago.

than repaid by the many evidences
and expressions of appreciation on
the part of the visitors.

an elegant banquet tendered by the
citizens. After a few hours in the
banquet hall the dance will be given

Drs. C. P. Osteen. Walter Cheyne
and S. C. BaKer returned from Ben?
nettsville this morning, where they
had been in attendance upon the an?
nual meeting of the State Medical as?
sociation.
Reporting the event these follow?
ers of the fiat say that it was the
most interesting meeting of the as?
sociation and that more scientific pa?
pers were read than has been pre?
pared for any anterior gathering.
Closing their meet, the meds were
entertained at a brilliant ball follow?
ed by a banquet in keeping with. the
date.
THE EDDY SUIT.
Mrs. Eddy Said o Have Confessed to
Mortal Fear of Frye.
Concor, X. H., April 23.-Former
Senator Chandler, who is in charge
of the suit of Mrs. Eddy's relatives,
declares that he has an important
witness ready to testify that Mrs.
Eddy, years ago, confessed herself to
be in mortal dread of the evil influ?
ence of Calvin A. Frye, a member of
the Eddy cabinet.
The witness is described as weathy
and of a distinguished family. This
witness' story., as told by Senator
Chandler, is that Frye manipulated
certain of Mrs. Eddy's papers so that
he would benefit by her death. The
witness ' discovered the fact and told
Mrs Eddy, who recovered the securi?
ties. This part of the story is cor?
roborated by Mrs. Eddy's adopted
son. who went to Boston after the se?
curities. The witness says Mrs. Eddy
called Frye the "living incarnation of
malicious animal magnetism." She
also says that Mrs. Eddy told her she
had twice driven Frye from her
house, but fear of him compelled her
to recall him.
