A Trip to BloOmingvale.

Last Sunday MIR L Roy Gates OF
of the Kingstree Drug Co, and this
scribe drove down to Bloomingvale
to spend the day with our friend,
Mr. w o Camlin. On starting out
we found the weather cold and crisp,
but the day soon developed into one
of sunshine and pleasantness. Mrs
Camlin gave us an excellent dinner
after we had sat around a rousing
lightwood fire for an hour or so.
Then we took a stroll over Mr. Cam.
Inns place, inspected his saw and
planning mill, grist mill, ginnery. the
huge silo, his large pen of we'll bred
hogs, his barn and mules, his fine
lot of pure bred cattle and the con-
crete dipping vat he has installed
for the eradicating the baneful
cattle or fever tick. We also took
q good look over his fields which he
has largely so1n to oats and yetcb.
MIR Camlin, we believed to be one
of the county's wide-awake, progress
sive farmers; his place convinces us
that our Judgment was not amls.
He is splendidly fixed. and every
wear marks great Improvement
upon his premises. He needs an
automobile, since he is so far from
Kingstree, so that he and his good
wife and their children can run over
here in less time than it takes a
horse to bring them.

The Habit OF Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold but a
temperature of about 90 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and get rid
of it as quickly as possibly, Obtain
able everywhere.

A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Child Struck by Automobile and
Internally Injured.

Harold Steele, the twelve-year-old
son of Mrs j B Steele, was serious
" injured here Friday afternoon,
when he was struck by an automo-
bile in front of his home on East
Main street. The machine was drlv-
en- by Mr. w H Carr, and it seems
that the headlights failed to work.
He was returning to town from the
country and in front of the Steele
residence a wagon load of coal was
standing on the side of the road and
heading into the Steele yard. The
load was too heavy for the team to
pull up the embankment and Harold
was at one of the rear wheels, when
the car ran into him, mashing the
little fellow between the wagon and
the automobile. The night was very
dark and stormy and with no lights
on his machine it was impossible
for Mr. Carr to see the wagon.
Sunday night the little fellow was
taken by Drs Kelley and Hemingway
to McLeod's infrmary at Florence.
They were accompanied by Mrs
Steele and MIR Carr. who has been
greatly distressed over the accident
ever since its occurrence and has
done everything in his power to aid
in alleviating the boys sutferings.
On Mr. Carr's account as we'll as on
that of the child and his mother
there is feeling of profound SYM
pathy in the community.
At the infrmary an operation was
performed and it was found that
the intestines had been punctured,
and for q time scant hopes of his re-
coyery were entertained, but today,
the good news comes that he is
resting well, and there are chances
for his recovery. Mr. Carr return
ed to Kingstree yesterday.
