I ticipated in a meeting of the busiI

interest of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative
Marketing plan. It was
s impressed upon these present that the
e cooperation and assistance of every
>- business and professional man in the
county is desired to make the association
a one hundred per cent, sucn
cess in this county. It is well known
that Williamsburg has already pledged
a a larger percentage or her tobacco
e than any other county, and in
of this fact has a wonderfu^^>ortunity
ahead of her if^0P^people will
j. all pull together in^foosting the asI.
sociation's plans ?mT securing signers
d to its contract. Our warehousemen
I- arc all in thorough sympathy with
ie the movement and have pledged the
d use of their houses to the association.
We want to see Kingstree the

central po;nt of activities by the association
as we believe it to be the
1 most feasible place, in this section.

The Sick.
Mr. W. P. 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
