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 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 and
permanently cured by the use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here Is Sum-
ter citizens recommendation.
Mrs. Willie Bultman, s E. Calhoun
ST.. Sumter. 9. c.. says: / found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be an excellent
remedy. My back ached for some
time and l was in almost constant mis-
cry. l finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised, procured a box at China g
Drug Store and used them. They re-
lteNeu the pain In my loins and
strengthened my back and 1 have not
been troubled since. l gladly recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills"

THE STATE JUDICIARY.

Columbia, August 1.-The death Of
one member of the Circuit Bench of
the State and the serious illness Of
another, make two vacancies to be
filed by appointment. Judge Dantz-
lers death necessitates an appoint
ment during the interim until the
Legislature meets. Then q successor
Will be named. Judge j. c. Klugh is
very Ill, having recently sustained a
stroke of paralysis. Governor Ansel
VIII have to make an appointment to
fill out the term of Court that Is
now approaching, at which Judge
klugh would have presided, and will
thereafter have to make appointments
as long as Judge Klugh Is disabled.

Some Random Thoughts.

Our Hopkins friends who advertise
their intention to secure the Pee Dee
experimental station that Clemson
college will establish show that the
right spirit, only it's a "long shot"
from Hopkins to the Pee Dee. If
geographical location and accessibility
have any weight, Florence is the
proper point to locate a Pee Dee sta
ton. 1 know something about the
soil characteristics of eastern Carolina
and Florence is typical of the level
country. For upper Darlington. up
per Lee, upper Sumter, Chesterfield
and Lancaster a station should be
located in the broken part of one of
t. ese counties. But for typical Pee
Dee soil Florence, Marion, Dillon,
Latta, Mullins or Lake City would
furnish the class Of soil, and Florence
leads them all in accessibility by
reason of it's being a railroad centre.
Sumter is not in the Pee Dee sec
ton of the State, and it amuses me
to see what a large part of the State
some writer's claim for the Pee Dee.
If this station is for the lower CEN
trail part of the State or for the San
tee basin then Sumer will lead them
all because it can furnish the type
Of soil, and Is the railroad centre of
this section. And heartily commend
what the Editor of The Item says
about securing the station for Sumter.
But IL 1t is for the Pee Dee section
let 1t so to Florence.
If, In place Of "a middle Carolina
agricultural college which I advoca-
ted four years ago, we are to have
experimental stations. then I propose
that we have a county high school in
each county. with station attached,
supported by the tax on fertilizers
used in the county. If local option
is good for the whiskey business 1t is
good for the fertilizer trade!
Keep Clemson college as q great
school Of the applied sciences, but
let 1t he supported by ali the tax
payers who have equal rights there as
to scholarships and patronage.
There would then be rivalry among
the counties as to which should have
the best high school and experimental
station and the users Of fertilizers
could see direct returns from their in
spection tax. If this Is not good local
option, then what Is?

WOMAN IN HORRY DEFIANT.
cult Court Has Issued Order for
Her Arrest.

Asheville, N. c., August 2.-Judge
j. c. Pritchard in the United States
circuit court today issued an order
to the United States marshall to ar
rest Immediately Mrs. Nancy A. Rob-
erts and bring her before the court
next Tuesday to receive punish
ment for contempt of court.
The controversy arose over an
order which Judge Pritchard, sitting
at Richmond, issued July 20 for Mrs.
Roberts to show cause why she should
not be held in contempt Of court for
failure to obey an injunction Of the
court issued during 1909 in the case
of w. H. Chadburn and John H.
Howald. receivers of the Kanawah
Lumber company against Nancy A.
Roberts
Mrs. Roberts lives in Horny coun-
ty, S. c., and when the marshall per-
sonally served the papers upon her
July 20, she stated to him that If
sne came to court she would have to
be brought. Upon her failure to ap-
pear here today as ordered by the
court, Judge Pritchard issued an or
der for her arrest.
Mrs. Roberts owns lands over
which a railway Of the Kanawah
Lumber company runs and the court
had directed the receivers to tear
up the track and deliver the rails
to the proper owners. The defend
ant has threatened to use a shot gun
In the event any attempt to remove
the road Is made. She is also alleged
to have used very vigorous language
as to what she WOULD do to an officer
attempting to deliver the property.

HUNDREDS OF DANCERS.
The Young People Had an Enjoyable
Evening at Second Mill Pavilion.

The opening dance of the season
a' second Mill pleasure resort We'd
nesday night was a very enjoyable sue
cess In every particular. Nearly two
hundred were present. The dance ma
Villon was crowded and the Young
folks certainly made merry skipping
the light fantastic toe. The supper
was served in the pavilion and manv
mad to stand to eat as every seat was
taken up. After supper the tables
were removed and the dancing start
ed, but even before supper and while
1t was being served, the young folks
were dancing around the pavilion.
McKagen chicken stew; barbecued
shoat and mutton; rice, and bread
were served and as this menu had
been carefully prepared it was most
inviting. A number Of ladies and
and from adjoining countries came in
their automobiles. One feature of
the entertainment which was graft
flying to the committee in charge was
the number of ladies and getlemen
who took occasion to express to the
committee their satisfaction at the
way everything was managed, and
that the affair was a complete sue
cess. The gentlemen of the commit
tee have every reason to feel graft
fed that their efforts to furnish an
evening of pleasure for the citizens
Of Sumter proved q success.

ABOUT THAT TRAIN SERVICE.
More Kicks Coming From Sumteri;c
and Others.

The Atlantic Coast Line continues
to run the Greenville train. which
might be called the tourist train,"
since 1t carries more people from this
city and other points through which
1t passes to the summer resorts than
any other trains, without adding
even one extra car to accommodate
the crowds, despite the kicks that
continue to come from Sumter people
as we'll as many others. Who come to
Sumter to take this train.
Now that II Is the middle of the sum-
mer season, not a day passes that the
train going to Greenville Is not crowd
ed almost to it's fullest capacity, when
It reaches this city, since there is
only one single car each for whites
and blacks.
One gentleman. who put two ladies
on this train this morning said that
the inside Of the car for white peo-
pie reminded him Of a country wagon
which was so filled with watermelons
that they had to be set on end.
Another gentleman. who was
going off on the train. said he would
not give up his ticket until he got a
seat. whereupon a friend advised him
to defer his trip.
The situation is getting to be un-
bearable, md "~'oss there Is some
provision made by the Coast Line to
accommodate the increase In traffic,
and at an early date. the patrons of
the company will very likely ask the
proper authorities to see that the
trouble Is remedied.

CHANGE IN POLICE FORCE.
officer BOykin Resigns-His Place
Not Yet Filled.

Officer John A. Boykin, who has
a policeman in this city for the
past three or four years, has resigned,
and accepted a position with Mr.. M.
H. Beck as special officer at Pocalla
Springs.
Mr.. Boykins' place is being flied
temporarily, by Mr.. Geo. Hatcheil.
who has often served on special oc-
casions.
1t is probable that either he or
Mr.. G. J. Williams, who is now serv-
ing as officer while the other police
men are taking their vacation, will
take Mr.. Boykin's place permanently,
although no information to that effect
has been given out officially.
Mr.. Boykin has always proved
himself competent and faithful while
on the police force. and has many
friends who wish him success in his
new position.

city council to have the street clayed,
making the connection between the
clayed streets Of the city and the

direction. It is needless to say that
council will attend to the matter al
the earliest possible moment.

MIR. LEVER In TOWN.
Popular Congressman Spent Few
Hours Here Last Evening.

From The Daily Item. Aug. 3.
Congressman A. +. Lever. and his
opponent for the congressional nomi-
nation In this district. Or. w. w.
Ray, spent several hours In Sumter
last evening on their way from Bish-
opville where the two candidates ad-
dressed a meeting Of about FIVE hun
dred of Lee county voters by special
invitation. While In town Mr.. Lever
inspected the handsome federal build
ing which Mr.. Lever secured for Sum-
ter. He was greatly pleased with
the appearance OF the magnificent
new postoffice and wanted to find out
IL there were any improvements to the
building which the people OF Sumter
wanted OF might be able to sugg ast
Ho was Informed that there was
no complaint from Sumter about the
building which will be a splendid
monument to Congressman Levers
work for Sumter. Mr.. Lever said
hat there was one other important
thing he wanted to secure for Sumter
upon which he has been working for
Years and that Ia for an appropri-
alton from Congress for a monument
20 General Thomas Sumter to be
erected in Sumter. He said he hoped
TO secure about $4,000 or $25.000
within the next two years for that
monument II he should be so success
ful as 20 be returned TO Congress.
He had but a short time In the city
but ne was taken around the city and
upon every hand his numerous friends
and admirers who appreciate his
work as Congressman and appreciate
aim for his personal worth. gave
nim cordial welcome and assured
aim that he need not worry about
Sumter county I'm the approaching
primary. as this county will give him
an almost unanimous vote for anoth-
OF term.
Mr.. Lever looked somewhat tired
out after his arduous work In Con-
sress as he Is always on the Job. 1t
- said that the hustling little Con-
sressman gave DR.. Ray warm
ihaking up at the Bishopville meet
ing and that DR.. Ray could~not answer
some OF the questions put to him
oy Mr.. Lever. as to what particular
commercial commodities DR.. Ray
would vote to place duty on IL ne
should be elected TO Congress; (Which
ne will not be.) Reports from the
5ishopville meeting indicate that
Lever has the crowd and Is as safe
IN Lee county as he is in Sumter and
other counties OF his district.
II seems that Mr.. Lever assumed
The attitude OF aggressiveness at the
9ishopvllle meeting and easily ex-
planned his vote on the lumber
tariff 10 the satisfaction OF his con-
stituency In that county.
He expects TO pay a longer visit
20 the Gamecock City as soon as ne
rets time. Mr.. Lever was entertain
d during his short stay by DR.. and
drs. George W. Dick.
