What our oitizsos oeed sod wsnt is more information upoo this matter io all its phases Tbat there is oeed for eome cbaoge in our sanitary regu? lations no one will deny ; but many think that the dry earth system will accomplish the purpose at present; and, as shown by tho vote yesterday afternoon, we are too much divided to get a majority voto to authorize tbe expenditure of so large a sum of money ae a preliminary measure. If there is any way to get tho neces sary information aa to what an effect? ive sewerage system will cost with out first paying for plans and specifi ions and obligating to give the job at a percentage of tbe cost when tbe same is not approximated, the ques? tion will be in better shape to get t decided voto Nor indeed ctu wo tec the present necessity for tbe survey, so ftr at it ia indeed to settle the question as to whether or not we are to have sewer age It ia not possible for us to issue bonds for more than sixty or sixty-five thousands dollars There* fore since tbe people will want to vote upou the question, let a petition of the freeholders, as required by law, be presented to next City Coun? cil meeting to order an election upon the question as follows : "Shall tbe city of Sumter issue bouds for a sewerage system, to the amount of sixty thousand dollars, if so much be necessary ?" The election will not cost ten del lars, and then we will know whether a majority favor the bond issue Tbot tbe survey loses all importance tt t preliminary to tho eloction 1*7 poisoning, poieou wooode aod uSI other accidental iojuriri may be quickly cored by naiag beWiti'* Witch Uazel 8alve.

We have made large contracts for Bag? ging and Ties, and feel that we are in a better position than ever to supply our customers in this line. For some years we have been buying largely of second hand Bagging and Tics from mills in the upper part of the State, and fortunately our contracts were made with them this year in the early Spring, or we could not have gotten them?owing to the high price of new goods they were eagerly sought. Some people object to use this class of Bagging because it is a little ragged, but we think that should make but very little difference as the best of it looks pretty tough from sampling very soon after it passes out of the farmers hands. Based upon the price of new goods there is a saving to the farmers of nearlv 50 per cent? By buying that which was used before and why not reap the benefit of it, as it makes no difference in the price of your cotton. We have all grades, and if you don't want the old we will be glad to sell you the new, but feel that it is our duty to recommend that which will pay you best. Alliance and Grange Clubs would do well to see us before buying. O'DONMELL I CO. Remember That Maycsville i? the best Tobaeeo Mar? ket in the State. SALES ARE GOING ON DAILY.
