I was reading an advertisement of Cham berlain's Colic, Cbohra and Diarrhoea Rem edy io the Worcester Enterprise recently, wbich leads me to write ibis. I can truthful ly say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhoea. I have never had to use more than one or two doses to core the worst case with myself or children.-W. A. Stroud, Popomoke Cly, Md. For eale!>y Dr. A. J. China. Sumter Gentlemen m Columbia. Mayor H. F. Wilson, Dr. John S. Hugh soo, chairman of the street committee, and W A. Tribble, superintendent of streets, came up from Sumter yesterday and inspected tbe city rock quarry and examined into tbe system and cost of working the streets here. They also visited some of the country roads, which they found in good shape. Mayor Wilson was impressed with the work done on Maio street beyond the postoffice, and with the work now in progress on Tay lor street. This, be says, is the kind of work wbich will be done in Sumter. However, he was somewhat 'puzzled to know the cost of fixing the streets in this way, as the figures he obtained from different parties were can flictiog. While be wi?.s talking about street improvements two cr three carts were stand ing in front of the Colombia hotel oeiog filled with dirt which had been raked up in piles all along the street. He expressed sur prise that Main Street bad not been worked as are some of the side streets which are now belog improved. Sumter bas taken bold of the matter in earnest. Tnere is BC abundant supply of rock lhere as in the vicinity of Colombia, and the crushed rock will be bought bere and shipped to that place. Tbe merchants of Sumter will contribute the use of their wagons to haul the rock and will aid in other ways in improving the streets. The city has made appropriation for the heavier expenses So, while Mayor Wilson came to inspect our system his object will probably be not tc do as Columbia bas done but as she ought to do -Tee State.

C., April 22.-Colton plant I ing io 'bis section will soon be over, though witb many, anusualiy late. Somi; have not ficisbed planting com yet. The farmers are making good ase of tbe few days cf favorable weather. Tobacco p-acts are beieg tracs planted wherever 1-rge enough, but the plants, as a general ih;og, are scalier than at this season asl year Mr James W. Wilson's pnn, McDonoogb, of the 2d Regiment. . Q V , ha returned and speaks most favornbiy of tba natural conditions of Cuba Mr Moultrie Truiuck, also of the 2d Regiment, has returned, bring ing with inn: a Coben boy 12 or 15 vears old Ee can speak and understand some English words very well. Many of tho 2J Regiment, from what we bear, would like to enlist in the U. S. Army, and go to the Phil ippine Islands. William Thomas, a negro lad, left this community last fail, and while in Charlotte, N. C , during that memorable freeze in Feb ruary last, got both cf bis feet "frost binen," bat managed by some meaos to get back to bis borne, near this place. His father, poor and ignorant of his son's trne condition, did not get a physician to se bim uotil about two weeks ago. Dr. E. F. Darby ia making an examination discovered that gangrene^had set in and that both feet wonld bave to be amputated. Be performed the operation on Sunday tbe 16th, witbont the assistance of experienced help. Very few persons, if any, who saw the negro before and after tbe operation, thought that tbere was any chance for bim to recover as he was so emaciated and exhausted from loss of blood, long saffenng and neglect. Dr. Darby can certainly afford to fei l proud of this case. At this writing tbe boy is get ting on fi eely. We will know in a few days whether we are to bave a tobacco warehouse this season, though, es yet, we have no canse to be lees hopeful of its erection and operation What we need now is more enterprise and less of tbe "I-don't-see-now-you-can-do-k" class. Tbere is certainly a sufficiency of money and brains io and around this place (I meAn Magnolia and Lynchburg) to erect and suc cessfully operate a tobacco warehouse Mrs. Dr. Rice, of Columbia, was fuoeral zad at tbe Lynchburg M.
