. ARREST AND RELEASE.
Marriage Refused to Two Young PeO.
Dle,


About a week ago two men and two women
registered at the Glenn Ethel as hailing from
Eiberton, Georgia. They were in the bust.
uess Of enarging pictures, ana were DONG
good amount Of work.
On Saturday night warrant was served on
the men and. one OF the women, charging
them with abduction. One OF the men pro.
DO ed to marry the girl, but we are Informed
hat m In listers of the gospel refused to per
woman charged with abduction were lodged
In Jail. The young woman was carried home
by her brother. After his arrival in Elberton
he teegraphed back TO release the prisoners,
and they are now free.
We have been asked to withhold the names
of the parties 10 this affair. and 40 we merely
mention the incident without giving names.
The one thing that adds interest to the whole
affair is the probable absence OF any wrong
doing, and their connection, or relation, WILD
some most excellent people, who are well
known.
AS to the proriety of refusing marriage to
anybody. II is believed that recognized
authority has declared that marriage Is hon.
orabe In all men.
AS far as we know there WAS no special
reason to urge marriage In this Instance, but
we do believe that in other Instances the
what the facts may be. From our standpoint
Il grave responsibility is assumed when mar
riage Is denied to anybody. IL may be, In
some instances, the only door OF hope 10 her
who may suffer unspeasable torture, because
she Ia 80 deprived of the right 10 take the
VOWS of holy wedlOck.
1t seeuis TO US that all the license laws on
any Statutes are against the woman, and II
seems hard that In South Carollpa she may
pe denied the right of marriage If she is poor
or friendless. The rich and powerful are
never denied this right.

Letter TO w. ID. Bark sdale.

Dear Sir: 1t is all very well for US to say
that 1t takes fewer gallons of Deyoe Lead and
Zinc to paint house than IT does OF mixed
paints but you want to know why.
For the same reason that II takes less good
cows milk to feed q baby than II does OF
SIX kimmed milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty per
cent. eratlon-incOnceivable, but true.
Water isn't paint, Barytes Isn't paint.
whiting isn't paint. Benzine isn't paint.
Petroleum isn't paint. Fish oil isn't paint.
None OF these are right part OF good paint
None Of these do the work that belongs to
paint
All they do is to I'LL the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc Ia one.hundred per
cent. paint. The adulterated mixed paints
are only twenty to eighty five per cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought 10 be from fifteen TO
eighty per cent cheaper than Devoe Lead and
Zinc.no: the worst of them oughtn't to be
anything. They waste your money you
not only must buy more gallons, hht you
nj ust pay the painter for spreading the extra
number OF gallons; and painting Costs three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEyoE & Co.,
