UP TO DATE ESTABLISHMENT.
sumter's Oldest and Largest Furniture
Company.

The j. D. Craig Furniture Company
is keeping fully abreast with the
growth and development Of Sumter,
and for the fall and winter trade a
larger and handsomer stock Of furnl-
ture than ever before shown in Sumter
has been purchased. A portion Of this
stock has been received and large
shipments are being received daily.
A visit to their store on North Main
street and an inspection Of their spa
cious and we'll arranged warerooms
will reveal collection Of furniture OF
all kinds ane grades that will delight
and satisfy the taste of she most critl-
cal. The designs are of the latest and
most approved style and the workman
ship and finish are guaranteed to be
the best that the furniture markets OF
the country afford. One Of the most
attractive lines shown is that Of the
new designs of bedroom suites. They
have an extensive assortment from
which choice can be made. In dressers,
chifoniers and odd pieces the stock Is
particularly strong and che assortment
of dining tables and dining room
chairs nothing is left to be desired.
But the stock must be seen to be ap-
preciated and those who contemplate
furnihsing their homes must by all
means visit furniture headquarters.
Another part of the business which
is as well equipped as any to be found
in the State is the undertaking de-
partment. They have every modern
appliance to be found in the largest
city undertaking establishment and
no expense has been spared in making
the equipment complete. A new. funer-
al car has just been purchased at a
cost of $4,000. It is said to be the
most costly and handsomest in the
State.
Mr.. j. D. Craig. who has been the
active head of this business for forty
nine years is still in charge and can
always be relied upon to furnish
the best furniture to his friends and
patrons.

THE SEWERAGE PETITION.
The Board of Health Takes the Initiative
in the Movement TO Improve Sanitary
Condition of the City.

TIE subjoined petition and the
statement by the Board Of Health Of
the reasons that actuated that body
in advocating the early establishment
of complete sewerage system are be-
ing circulated for the signature of
freeholders.
It depends upon the property owners
of the city to say whether an election
shall be held or not; if they want a
sewerage system they must say so, if
they do not wish to pay the additional
tax that the issue Of sewerage bonds
Will necessitate they can nip the sew
erage plan in the bud by refusing to
sign the petition. If the election
shall be ordered it sgoes without say
ing that the sewerage system will be
established, for the sentiment of the
people of Sumter is strongly in favor
of it. The fight for and against sew
erage will be made on the petition
now being circulated, and the free
holders should weigh the matter care
fully before signing or refusing to
sign the petition:
Sumter, S. c., Aug. 25, 1908.
In consequence of the rapid and
continuous increase in the number of
cess pools or dry wells, so called, in
the city, both for closets and kitchen
sinks; contents of which cess-pools
having no drainage, but disappearing
entirely by seapsge, the soil is be-
coming daily more saturated with hlth
and must soon become a menace to
the public health.
The Board of Health has devoted
much thought and attention to the
question of filth disposal; fecal matter
alone might be readily dealt with by
the institution of the dry earth closet
system, but this still leaves unremedi-
ed the more serious matter Of kitchen
slops and liquid excrement.
Our vital statistics and health con-
ditions have shown ur fairly we'll up
to this time, but our soil constantly
contaminated will eventually reach
the limit of endurance through satura-
tion.
In consequence of these facts, the
Board of Health is Of the opinion that
the only ultimate solution of the mat
ter is the establishment of an ade-
quate sewerage system in the city, pro-
vided it is practicable; and to this end
they induced the City Council to en-
gage the services Of a competent sani-
tary engineer to make survey of the
city and to report upon its feasibility
and cost. The board is unanimously
of the opinion that if it is found fea-
sible and within the ability of the city
to do, that the establishment of a
sewerage system is now highly desir-
able and fast becoming an absolute
necessity.
