Dear Sir: If it took 10 gallons to

But that isn't all; that's only first

The paint that goes furthest in cover

All paint, true paint and full-mcas-

"More than anything the Laurens
farmers need Il fuller appreciation of
the attractions Of their own calling,
saws the I.aurens Advertiser, and then
it goes on to show how the farmer can
be the most prosperous and mdepcn-
dent Of all persons. This is true and it
is the same doctrine we tried very hard
to implant i'm the campaign which we
had in this county the past summer,
The farmer should magnify his calling
and endcavor to improve his condition.
and instead Of trying to get into posi-
tion to move to town to have the ad-
vantage of church and school and soci-
ETY. he should 80 to work and have all
these things in the country, and he can
possess them if he will. And we pre-
dict that during the present generation
the slogan is going to be back t. the
farm, and instead Of the Young men
out in stores as clerks they are going
to become independent farmers. and
the rural districts are going to be the
desirable places Of residence. Many
things are going to contribute to this.
We now have daily mail facilities in al
most every section. and We are going
to have road Improvement, and with
good roads will come good schools and
churches and society. for nciEhhorS will
be able to get from place to place and
to church and the children TO school.
We will also have better schools and
longer terms. and il will not be ncccS-
Sary to move to town to educate your
children. When tlling the soil pros
pcrS, and the farmer farms instead Of
plants only, all business will prosper.
Land is apprcciating every year We
say hasten the glad time when the
farmer becomes independent and is no
longer the slave of the lien and under
bondage to the credit system.
Mr.. Nj. V. Richards has suggested
that the banks of the State be request ed
to raise $50, 600 for the purpose Of ha\-
ing an exhibit at the ST. Louis Expo
stion. The banks will scarcely take to
the proposition favorahly. And why
should they be asked to contribute to
TINS purpose any more 50 than any
other class Of property? The fact is,
the State will scarcely have an exhibit.
The money cannot hr raised hy private
subscription. and it is not at all proha-
bic that the Legislature will make any
appropriation. The House was very
largely opposed to the appropriation at
the last session, and we have seen no
reason why ii should reverse itself at
the next session.

our grandmothers would have looked up

for just as you have a nose we'll nodded
to have it slowly disappear and melt

When such a thing was first suggested
to Mr.. Biehl he held up his hands IN

utter scorn, but, remembering Miss
Brooks achievement long before he was
born, he set to work with good will
and a lot of ice and turned out his

drum with their fingers or keep the

for in that effort you lose infinitely

We would suggest to avoid the company

The attitude of the body should bear a
