McGill, who has been in the Kelley Sr.nitorium with a case of typhoid fever was getting along niceiJy yesterday we were informed by the nurses in charge. While at the Hospital we called in to see Mr. Roy Payne and found him on the :-oad to improvement. He has had a "tough time" as he expressed it, since he was taken there last week for an operation on his leg which was broken about two months ago. Mary Elizabeth, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Welch, was operated on yesterday afternoon for tcnsilitis. The little one is getting along nicely. She is at the Kelley Sanatorium. Mr. L. D. Rodgers' host of friends will deeply regret to learn that he is confined to his bed with a case of typhoid fever. He is at his home and receiving every necessary attention and it is hoped that his illness will be of short duration. Mr. Maynard, proprietor of the Paragon restaurant is confined to his bed by sickness. It is hoped that he will be ablS to look after his business in a few days. The negro man mentioned in The County Record last week as having been hit by a freight train North of Cades ?nd later taken to the Kel ley sanitarium irom a u?>a &xi m ?> pecarious condition has recovered consciousness and says he is George Ford; that his home is on Hull street, Savannah, Ga. Dr. Kelley found that the man was completely paralized, caused by a concussion or rupture of the brain. He opened the negroe's skull, taking out a piece of the bone about the size of a silver dollar then treated the ruptured brain, so that after thirty-six hours in an absolute state of coma the man came to himself and is now able to move his limbs almost perfectly. He is yet in a serious condition but there is every indication that he will recover. He is perfectly rational, except that he does not know how the accident happened. Frank Norris, the negro who had his leg broken at Lanes early last week in an attempt to catch a rapidly moving freight train and was later brought here to Dr. Kelley, is getting along nicely after having had his right leg amputated just below the knee joint. Norris claims that he has a wife in Greenville, that he is a gambler, and that he drank nrhieVov in Columbia all day before catching a train out of the city that night ? Honor Roll, Kingstree School.
