There is more Catarrh in this sec? tion of the country than all other dis? eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur? able. For a great many years doc? tors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local" remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Osteen came before the council to request privilege of erect? ing necessary poles from corner of Washington street and Oakland ave? nue to center of city for the purpose of running an electric line and pro? viding power to citizens for ' lights, fans, etc. . Referred to committee of public works with power to act. Mr. W. Graham, assistant chief of fire department, requested an ircrease of appropriation to hose companies. Referred to fire department commit? tee. A petition was made by X. G. Os? teen, Jr., and associates for installing a gas plant in the city, and the clerk was directed to prepare an ordinace granting the privilege. Messrs. G. W. Reardon, H. C. Haynsworth and others presente! the necessity of opening new streets and extending others in Ward Xo. 1, and submitted a diagram thereof. Same was referred to the committee of pub? lic works, with instructions that they consider and report the practicability of extending Warren and Live Oak streets to eastward to connect with an extension of Magnolia street north? ward. Messrs. A. B. Stuckey, E. H. Moses, and F. A. Bultman on behalf of the Sumter Electric Light, Ice and Power Company submitted the following: To the City Council of the City of Sumter, S. C. Gentlemen: The Sumter Ice, Light and Power Company desire o submit to you the following proportion: Whereas, the said Company desires to improve its service of furnishing electric lights to said City and desires also to erect and operate a larger and more modern electric machine for said purpose: And, Whereas the electric light contract'" which this company, under the name of the Sumter Electric Light Company, now has with your City ex? pires in less than five years from this day, to-wit, on the first day of Xo vember, 1909, and the period being too short to warrant the said Com? pany in purchasing the large and ex? pensive machinery to replace the ma? chine now in operation unless the said Company had some assurance either of continuing the contract for a long? er period or the opportunity of mak? ing a sale of the machine for a price equal to its then intrinsic value, they therefore make to you the following proposition: This Company proposes that if your City will enter into a contract with it to furnish the arc lights for said City for a period of fourteen years from the first of Xovember next, 1005. it will agree to furnish you as many arc lights as you require up to sixty in number at and for t'^e price of eighty dollars per lamp per year, burning every night in the year without re? gard to moonlight nights, and for each lamp above that number at a price of seventy-five dollars per lamp per year and coupled with this agree? ment, the understanding, that if at the termination of the present con? tract, to-wit. on Nov. 1, 190.9. the City of Sumter doesn't desire to continue the contract, there shall be a mutual agreement that the city will buy the machinery, lamps and wires at their intrinsic value to be determined by a committee of three, one to be selected by this Company, one by the City and the third by these two committeemen, and also at the end of the next five years thereafter the city shall have the option and privilege of buying the said machine, lamps and wires at it then intrinsic value to he determined by a committee selected as above state!. Such purchase at either of said periods to terminate the contract. This Company further proposes to install the machinery at once and op? ?rate it for a sufficient length <>f time, say a period of two weeks or thirty days, and if ot the expiration of that time the service and machinery is satisfactory M the city, they will then enter into th..- contract or de- j cline the same in case il. is not satis- j factory. They also propose that pur? chase of said machinery be mail ? or!*, ina My upon approval of said City as to kimi of machinery be pur? chased. By entering into this new contract, enabling the said Company i<> pur? chase the larger and more modern machinery at once, will prove, as they believe, a benefit f-? the private citi? zens <<f said City, as the Company will then be in a position t" finnish pri? vate lights as well as power for fans and machinery on a meter basis. If tho City of Sumter is not satis? fied with the price named above of eighty dollars each for the arc lamps, up to sixty, and seventy-five dollars for each lamp above sixty lamps, then this Company proposes that the av When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison? ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs.

Com? mence taking FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at the first sign of danger. Do not risk having Bright's Disease or Diabetes. Mr. Robert G. Burke, Elnora. Saratoga Co., N. Y., writes:-I arr? jrjad to have an oppor? tunity of telling what magnificent results I have had from using FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE after having tried other advertised medicines and several physicians. Before I began it I had to get up from 12 to 20 times e?.ch night to relieve my bladder. I was all bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight was so impaired that I could scarcely see one of my family across the room. In f?ct, I was so baily used up that I had given up hope of living when I was urged by a friend to try FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE. One 50-cent bottle worked won? ders, and before I had taken the third bottle the superfluous flesh had gone, as well as all other symptoms of Kidney trouble My friends were surprised thal I was cured, as they ali thought I was going to d;e. Evary few days some one comes from miles away to learn the name of the wonderful medicine that cured me of Bright's Disease, and not one that has tried it has failed to be benentted.
