Why should Col William ]. Bryan
decline to testify before the war inves-

Dear Sir: The following conversation
recently took place in our store in New
York:
Customer: 81 want to get some
cheap paint to do cheap Job
Clerk: "Well, you want our Lead
and Zinc Paint then; not a cheap

Customers: "Why sop
Clerk: "For two reasons-1st, IL
gals. of our Lead and Zinc Paint at $l.5O
per gal. will cover "a we'll as Is gals. OF
cheap paint at $l.25 per gal. I'd, II ii
takes painter two days to spread IL
gals. it will take him three days to
spread Is gals"
These are the two reasons why low
priced paint costs more than pure
paint. Yours truly,

IMPoRTAyT DECISION.
Sherirs Indebtedness Cannot Offset
Faxes.


The supreme court has rendered an
important decision. G. Fl. Miller
was sheriff OF Berkeley county from
1889 to 1892, both included, and as
such had taxes for these years against
Wisner, and levied upon the property
of the latter to satisfy such taxes.
Wisner gave forthcoming bond, and
when Miller moved the circuit court
to issue execution on the bond Wis
ner fled set-offs for services rendered
as Miller's attorney for four years at
$500 per year, for which he claimed a
contract with Miller prior to his
election, and that such annual fee
was to go as credit ON his taxes
The circuit court allowed the off,
sets, but the supreme court reversed
the lower court.
The syllabus in the case reads:
/. A taxpayer cannot set-off the sher-
IFS individual Indebtedness to him,
even though the Sheriff has settled
with the State treasury for such
taxes.
2. No set-off of the Sheriff's indi-
yidual indebtedness can be allowed
againsta forthcoming bond given on
the levy Of taxes, under chapter % OF
the acts of 1898.
3. a contract between a sheriff and
taxpayer by which the taxpayer is
to act as the Sheriff's attorney at a
fixed sum, to be applied on the tax
payers taxes, is against public policy,
and court viii not apply it as pay
ment on the taxes.
4. A contract to render personal
services for longer term than one
year is void under the statute of
frauds, AID no suit can be maintain
ed upon the contract itself, but after
the performance of the service there
may be recovery Of its worth upon a
quantum meruit.

LONDON, May 6.-Vice Admiral
Philip Howard Colomb, retired, the
inventor OF improved methods of sig
mailing at sea and the author of a
number OF naval works, in an inter-
view on the subject of the splendid
victory OF the United States fleet at
Manila, is quoted as saying; II
doubt il there ever was such an ex-
traordinary illustration of the in
fluence of sea power. A superior fleet
has attacked and beaten Spanish
fleet supported by batteries and, it
now appears. it passed those batter
les and has taken up an unassailable
position off Manila. The boldness of
the American commander is beyond
question. Henceforth he must be
placed in the Valhalla of Great Naval
Commanders. Nothing can detract
from the dash and vigor of the Amer
lean exploit, nor dim the glory which
Dewey has shed upon the American
navy. 1t may be bad for the world,
for assuredly the American navy will
never accept subordinate place after
this exhibition of what it can do
