Dear Sir: There are two sorts of furni.
ture. You know both; for you sell 'em
both. One sort looks better than it is,
and the other is better than 1t looks.
There isn't any other sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no more
and we make 'em both--we make tons OF
stuff that isn't worth its freight. Belongs
to the business have to. Belongs to
yonr business-you have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans,
with our name on, the very best paint
there issin the world: Devoe Lead and
Zinc, 1t takes fewer gallons than mixed
paints, and 1t wears twice as long as lead
C,o. Brown s. Bro, Columbia, S. O.
write:
Mr.. @. o. Brown employed an expert
enced painter to paint his house with
Devoe Lead and Zinc. The painter, on
seeing the paint that was sent to the
house, said that there was not enough
he was SO sure of this that he opened up
all except one five-gallon kit. When the
job was done he returned the five gallon
kit and about as much more in open
vessels. Other painters who have been
using mixed paints have had the Same
experience with Devoe Lead and Zinc.''

Active Steps Being Taken to Build the Blue
Ridge Railroad to MaIhaIIa. a.I

Anderson, s. O., March 14.--The press
dispatches recently stated that the South
ern Railway had opened.a a large Office in
surveys and other preliminary steps
towards the construction of line across
the mountains into South Carolina, says
State special. This report has been
confirmed by railroad mon, and it seems
probable that Anderson's long cherished
dream of direct connection with the West
will be realized.
Mr.. ii. M. Prince, we'll known rail
road constructor in the employ of w. j..
Oliver 81 Co., was in the city yesterday
and stated that his firm had announced
that they had been requested by the
Southern Railwey to submit bids for the
construction of line from Marysville,
Tenn, to Rabun Gap. The survey and
estimates, it is stated, have all been
made, and the bids are to be submitted
by the first of May. 20
1t is said that the officials of the
Southern have expressed their intention
to award the contract Immediately there
after and have the worked pushed TO
completion as quickly as possible. )
If the information that Mr.. Prince and
others have received is correct, the pro-
posed line means a great deal for Ander-
son and this section of the State. The
building of q line from Marysyille, Tenn.
to Rabun Gap means that il will be built
to Walhalla where it will connect with
the Blue Ridge. If this is done Ander-
son will at least have that Western com
nection for which she has so long striven.

Death OF Uncle Isaac Brown.

A remarkable negro man, Isaac Brown,
died at his home, near Walhalla, on Mon
day afternoon, March 10th. He was
born in Abbeville county July 4, 1912.
He belonged to John g. Calhoun, who
brought him from Abbeville to Fort Hill.
He was a stone mason by trade, and
was honest, upright and conscientious,
having the respect and confidence of his
white neighbors. He had some educa-
ton, enough to enable him to read his
Bible and his county paper. He had
been living in and near Walhalla since
1868. For about forty years he had been
member of the Baptist church. He
was also superintendent of the Sunday
school and deacon for about quarter
Of century. In all the relations of life
he was trustworthy colored man, be-
longing to that class of ante. bellum
negroes, who are fast passing away. He
leaves two children and seventeen grand
children. His wife died several years
ago. His funeral services were largely
attended on Tuesday afternoon at Flat
Rock Baptist church, where, after ap-
propriate remarks by Revs. w. G.. Craig
and NJ Mason, his body was buried in
the cemetery near the church.

18th, the Trustees of Walhalla Lodge,
No: 2S4, Knights of Honor, paid to his
widow two thousand dollars, the amount
OF the deccased's insurance in this noble
order The money was paid just as soon
as proof of death could be lodged in the
Supreme Treasurer's Office in st. Louis,
Mo. This money comes as great bless
ing to Mrs. Rose and her orphan children
and will meet pressing demands on the
estate of the deceased. The Knights of
Honor have paid out to the widows and
United States, since its organization,
to February ID, 1908, 7S,50S, ,024. 81 !
What-a vast sum of money contributed
to the relief of suffering humanity.

Walhalla who are the recipients of the
noble and praiseworthy benefits of the
Knights of Honor. The membership
