dler, Henry c. Morrison, with light
york; e. E. Hoss and James Atkins.
Bishop Fitzgerald was continued on

one conference.
South Carolina Jared splendidly in
the elections getting two native sons,
DR.. James c. Kilgo, born at Laurens,
and DR.. Mouzon, born at Spartanburg.
Out Of the seven men chosen an in

their election are: DR.. Collins Denny

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Sumter People Know How to Save
1t.

Many Sumter people take their(
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and Ill health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly ana(
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Sum-
ter citizens recommendation.
Mrs. Willie Bultman, E. Calhoun
ST., Sumter, S. c., says: I found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be an excellent
remedy. My back ached for someS
time and was in almost constant mis-
cry. L finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised, procured a box at China's
Drug Store and used them. They re-
lieNed the pain in my IONS and
strengthened my back and 1 have not
been troubled since. I gladly recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills."

New York Tribune.
Although II was generally known
that splendid progress had been made
by the army engineers in digging the
Panama canal, a statement in 1.-The
Canal Record" the other day that all
the excavation which was contem-
plated in the original project had
been completed caused considerable
surprise. Under the original plan,
iOs.795, 900 cubic yards OF material
were to be removed. and that has
been done. But subsequently, in or
der 10 accommodate naval vessels OF
The Dreadnought type and the giant
liners now under construction, the
President ordered the widening and
deepening OF the canal. That invol-
we'd 70.ST1.594 additional yards of
material. and that Is all OF the task
OF excavation that now confronts the
engineers.
A refreshingly unscientific and nom
technical description of the canal has
been written by Gerald Mygatt. who
has recently returned from making a
first hand investigation Of the ditch
for the Columbian Magazine" )"
Among other things the investigator
says:
THE Panama canal. to all intents
and purposes. will not be a canal at
all. but n lake--a broad. fresh water
lake. thirty-two miles long. and with
an area OF 164 square miles, a lake
which will food the country In some
places far beyond the ten-mile limits
OF the canal zone. from within seven
miles OF the Atlantic to a distance Of
but nine from the Pacific side Of the
isthmus. Most persons do net realize
that. They picture the waterway as
a big ditch, which 1t Is not. For only
nine miles. through Culebra cut, will
the work be very much like what the
average mind seems to have conceiv-
cd. And when II IL finished even that
Culebra section will form part Of the
lake itself. Provided you're going

is about finished; the cut has been
completed, the concrete floor is down,
and the walls themselves are we'll un-

West of Spillway hill little work
on the actual dam constructed has
been done; that's because there has
got to be some place for the rievrs to
run until they can be turned through
the Spillway itself. But on the east
side a good deal is going on. They
started out by dumping two parallel
lines of rock, about twelve hundred
feet apart, from the lock side at Ga
tun over to the hill in the center Of
the valley. On the outside of the rock
was dumped indiscriminate stone and
dirt. They got those two lines pretty
we'll up, like two separate dams and
then began filling in the space be-
tween with imperviOus material pump
ed in by dredges. The rock toes Of
the eastern half Of the dam are about
up to their fun height but the pump

Foster Parcels Post Bill.
(Fair Haven Era.


Congressman Foster has introduced
House Bill No. 1892, to provide for local
rates on all rural free delivery routes that
is attracting lots of attention. 1t is a
measure that seems to fill long felt want
and it remained for Vermonter to fill the
bill The local rates are as follows:
On parcels weighing two ounces or less,
one cent.
Over two ounces and not over four
ounces, two cents.
Over four ounces and not over eight
ounces, three cents.
Over eight ounces and not over Il
ounces, four cents
Over II ounces and not over one pound
five cents.
Over one pound, five cents and two cents
for each additional pound or fraction
thereof. Weight limit, IL pounds.
These rates are only good at the post
offices or stations from which one or more
rural deliveries originate, at intermediate
postoffces on such routes to or from pa
irons on such routes to any postoffice or
station thereon.
They do not apply to packages from
elsewhere. on which the regular postal
rates would apply. In short, they are only
good between the main office and stations
on rural routes and the patrons thereon.
The bill provides more work for rural
carriers on the 10000 rural free delivery
routes in the United States and when used
as it undoubtedly will be by patrons should
do much to help make the rural deliveries
self supporting. The yearly deficit is now
s28, 100000 and while the country inclines
to the opinion that the money is well spent
a change to the other side Of the balance
sheet would be generally appreciated.
