Im|M>rtuiit Meeting of Woodmen. An important special meeting of Hollywood Camp, Woodmen of the World, will be held tomorrow. Wed nesay, night at 8 o'clock. The meeting has been called for two purposes?to pass upon the ap? plications for membership, thirty now being on file; and to consider the proposed meeting of the Grand Coun? cil of South Carolina In this city in March next. When Sumter was selected as the place of meeting there was even then some doubt about the hotel accommo? dations being adequate, but since that time the Jackson Hotel has been burned and it is now an unquestion? ed fact that it is impossible to find homes for the more than five hun? dred delegates who will attend the Grand Council of Woodmen. Holly? wood camp is face to face with the proposition and it is necessary that action be taken at once. It being im? possible for the hotel to, house all the delegates, the camp must either find accommodations for the visiting Woodmen in private homes of Sum? ter or inform the officers of the Grand Council that in consequence of the burning of one of the hotels, Sumter cannot entertain the Grand Council. This question must be sett'ed tomor? row night and, as the one? most In? terested, the Woodmen who reside in the city should attend the meeting. DE VTII. Mr. D, H.
