OF chewing gum which lodged In
her wind pipe and the Kershaw
physicians, after working with
her for about a week, gave the
case up and advised the patient
to come to the hospital in this

her to DR.. w. G. Stevens last
Saturday, who after examining
the patient, informed her father
that there was no way of
removing the obstruction without
an operation and while it would
be a difficult operation to per
form there would be chance to
save The patient by it, and she
could not live long without relief.
The woman's husband finally con
sented to the operation and it
was performed very successfully
and the patient is getting along
nicely.

Col. Springs Suggested for
the Senate.

Mr.. Editor The friends of
tht present incumbent say that
he will not run again for the
position of Safe Senator of this
county. This is the highest of
flee in the git OF the people of
this county and a very resEon-
sible position it is, and it be.
comes US to make careful se-
lection. 1t strikes me that we
should, if we desire to see our
political interests we'll cared for,
centre on man of high charac-
ter and of very considerable in
huence abroad. We think Col.
Leroy Springs would be good
choice for a Senator to represent
us in the State Senate for the
next four years, and we would
accordingly nominate him for
this high position.
