THE 'PHONE AND AUTO, SAVIORS
OF LIFE.

The experience of a Sumter county
farmer the other day. who cut an art
cry and was saved from death by
rapid dash in an auto to the city where
medical attention could be obtained,
brings wildly before all minds the
fact that in addition to the pleasure
derived from its use and the accom-
madation it is to business men in
their work, the auto also plays prom
inent part as an actual savious of hui
man life. We often hear of its destruc-
tive tendencies, when managed by an
reckless or drunken per-
son, and the lists or deaths charged Up
to it grows more formidable every day,
but there is an offsetting score in the
lives that are saved through it's in
strumentality.
In the old days-days but a few
years remote-a person seriously in
jured in the country districts, remote
from a physician, was very apt to
die before skilled attention could be
had There was either slow travel
to town in a horse-drawn vehicle, Or
the waiting for a train, in either
event the loss of time often being
sufficient to remove whatever chance
there may have been of recovery. Now
how different. Called on the phone the
physician dashes at thirty to forty
miles an hour over good country roads
and in a few minutes is at the side Of
the wounded, prepared to perform
whatever services may be needed 10
save life In case of sudden and crit
ical illness, too, the same conditions
prevail. All the old terrors of emerg-
encies of this kind in the country dis
tricts have been removed by the phone
and he auto, and the family living ten
miles from town suffers but little in
the event of accident or illness by the
distance that lies between it and the
doctor.
Nearly every family of any means
whatever in the county now has a
telephone so that a physician can be
called up and consulted at any hour
of the day or night. Frequently pro-
fessional advice given over the wire
has been adequate to preserve life.
While the world is told of every one
who gets knocked out by the auto,
there is no effort to tell of the count
less numbers who have reason to bless
it for it's service in illness. And so,
while the telephone is roundly abused
at times, there is no one but must
realize that it is one of the greatest
blessings mankind today possesses,
not only in business and social mat
tiers but on the dread occasions when
accident are sudden illness strike
down some loved one and it is called
into play to ward off death.
One would think that in view ri
the cheapness of telephones these
days every country family would
have one in the home 1t is a pro
tective agency hard to oYerestimate
The day is not far distant when il
will be found in every farm house
With the ease with which help can bt
summoned through its agency, and th5
speed with which help can come or
the auto, time and distance have al
most been wiped out and country life
robbed of some of its most serious
drawbacks of former ages.
