The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often much disappointed
to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, collie and diar-
rhoea require prompt treatment, and
have in many instances proven fatal
before medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe a better
medicine for these diseases. By hav-
ing it in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy
it now; it may save life.

,GARNER'S FERRY ROAD.
CONFERENCE OF Committees from
Richland and Sumter Boards of
Commissioners,
columbia State, Jan. 12.

columbia State. Jan. 12.)
meeting of the county commits
sioners Of Sumter and Richland coun-
ties was held in Columbia yesterday
relative to the proposed new high
way between Columbia and the Game
cock City Estimates were submitted
which have been prepared by United
States engineers. which indicate that
the thoroughfare can be opened and
a crossing Of the Wateree River ef-
fected about one mile above the old
Garner's Ferry for $4,000. BY NOV
Ing one mile to the north Of the old
crossing the distance through the
swamp Is reduced approximately
three-fourths Of mile. The distance
between Columbia and Sumter of this
route is SS "a miles. The present
route around by Camden is Ga Id
miles. The distance by rail is 43
miles.
The State highway commissioners
have agreed to give their support to
the project. and 1t needs only the CO.
operation Of the Richland authorities
to carry 1t through. The Sumter dele
cation is prepared to do their part, It
Is said. and the county commissioners
OF Richland are said to favor the
project, but the legislative delegation
have not declared themselves yet.
Another proposal Is to cross by an
other route which would give II
miles of rural route. BY this route
the cost would be $4,000.
The highway would afford splen-
did outlet from this section into Dar-
lington. Florence. Marion and Will
in addition to providing
direct link between Columbia and
Sumter.

Yesterday were: Supervisor Patter-
son, A. b. Campbell. DR.. Frank Hoef-

BMsER AND o'QuINN.
Former Members of Legislature Call.
ed Upon to Eli Unexpired Terms.

Editor Daily Item.
noticed your editorial Of a few
days ago in which you stated that
Mr.. Belser should consent to make
sacrifice and be willing to offer for
the legislature to fill one Of the un-
expired terms, basing 1t upon the
grounds that Mr.. Beiser had had ex-
perience and 1t would only be a cew
weeks before the legislature would ad-
journ and that a new man would
hardly have time to become acquaint-
with legislative procedure before the
adjournment. fully agree with your
view Of the mattert that is. that we
should have men of past legislative
experience to fill out these unexpired
terms. because. a man without ex-
perience would not have time to in
form himself OF legislative procedure
and matters connected Herewith be-
fore the adjournment OF the presen!
session.
But there are two places to fill and
MIR. Belser can fill but one. In think
Ing about the matter. have tried to
think OF some one who had had sim
ilar experience as Mr.. Belser. and
could think OF no one except Mr.. s.
O'Quinn, who has been living in this
county several years. but. prior to
that time. lived In Marion and had
been a member of the legislature for
several terms. having also served an
alderman and mayor of Marion. Mr..
Belser and Mr.. O'Quinn both have
been seen and they have been pre-
vailed upon to stand for election
with the distinct understanding that
they would not be called upon to run
for the regular term this summer. IN
other words. they have agreed to
serve the people of this county for
the unexpired terms and are doInu
this. not because they are seeking thu
positions. but merely to help tn,
