EERRY ACROSS THE SANTEE.
Indication* That Efforts to Oom Riv?
er Will Prove Successful.
Bummerton Correspondence to Man
nine; Rsrald.
For the peat several weeks very lit?
tle has been said about the crossing
ever Santee. but all the while there
nan bsen some plans being made.
And now It Is a certainty that the
crossing will be made, while at this
time It Is not known just how soon
nut It Is safe to say that by the early
spring people will be crossing. It
seems now that to get this movement
In operation a motor boat with suf?
ficient power to tow a flat that will
carry some six or eight automobiles
at a time will be used, using on this
side Wright's Bluff and on tho other
side Pinckney's landing. This, of
course, will necessitate going down
the river some in or four miles,
but it Is said that th.o will not require
a great deal of time. And then if it
Ts found that this prop- slton does
not prove satisfactory a road can be
built and a bridge later; but dur'ng
the time this road buddln? is going on
the people will be crossing. With a
little work on the road to Wright's
Bluff It can be made a splendid road,
and your correspondent is told that
the road leading out from Pinckney's |
leading is In epoludW shape now;
so all that is necessary to start thla|
crossing if to gat the motor boat and
make provisionsto get on and off the
flat at both landings and we will be?
gin to do business.

Her lot was destroyed by Are last night
about * o'clock, the lire catching in
the ceiling. When discovered the
blase was so far advanced that It
could not be extinguished and the ef?
forts of the members of the family
were turned toward* saving what
they could of the furniture. How?
ever, the Ire was so hot that very lit
lie wee gotten out of the burning
building before all were forced to re?
main at a distance, while they watch?
ed the building burn. Mr. W. R. Du
IBone, Sr., was asleep tit the time ot
the fire and members of the family
barely and time to wake him up and*)
iahe htm out. \
Together with the houee and furni?
ture were the products from about
twenty-fr/e hogs which had been re?
cently killed and a Jarre pile of cord
wood, which had been piled up neat
the bulleis? and which caught from
the heat
The Insurance on the residence, an
eight room building, was $1.200, hut
there waa no Insurance en the furni?
ture or any of the other things lost
The loss will probably amount to sev?
eral times ea much as the Insurance
on the house. By hard work the bam
und Its contents were saved from the
blaaa.

while it waited for what was to come

NATURE TELLS YOU
As Many a Sumter Reader Knows Too
Well.
When the kidneys are weak,
Nature tells you about it.
The urine is nature's index.
Infrequent or too frequent passage,
Other disorders suggest kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills arc for dis?
ordered kidneys.
Sumter people testify to their
worth.
Mrs. L. F. Adams, 508 Oakland Ave.,
Sumter, says: "I had dull pains in
my back, along with headaches, dizzy
spells and other symptoms of kidney
trouble. When I heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at
Zemp's Pharmacy and they relieved
me. One of the younger members of
our family also complained of head?
aches and pains in the back and was
annoyed by the Kidney secretions
passing too freely. Doan's Kidney
Pills were also used in that case and
relieve all the ailments."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get

MAKES FINE ADDRESS. ~ _
Large Audience at Rex Sunday to
Hear Hon. T. G. Mcljeod.
A large audience was present at the
Rex theatre Sunday afternoon to hear
a magnificent address made by the
Hon. T. G. McLeod of Bishopville,
one of the leading laymen of the
Methodist church in this State. Mr.
McLeod's subject was taken from
Emerson on "The Law of Compen?
sation," as the speaker stated, who
in eloquent and forceful manner
?showed ,that the words of Paul, tho
Apostle, were as true today as they
were when they were uttered, "That
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap." He warned those who
heard to take heed to his advice, for
if they did things to injure their
bodies, they would be sure in future
to pay in some way for their wrong?
doings.
The meeting was presided over by
Dr. S. H. Edmunds, who introduced
the speaker *as one of Sumter's sons,
