Letter to Z. II. Leslie, NcwhGrry, s. G.

Dear Sir: Lets have Il l.,.lc private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know how TO do Il cheap
job of painting, and have it look good
Here it is: The cheapest thing there is
in the way Of Il good looking job say
nothing ABOUT it's being good is Dcvoc
the regular thing in Dcvoc.
The reason is: Dcvoc goes further
than anything else. I.cad-and-oil is
good-looking; don't go so far and costs
more. The other paints are more or
less short in one way or another: don't
go so far and costs more than DcVoc.
Devoe costs least of all; you don
mind its lasting longer, do you? w,
can't help it, a paint that goes further
lasts longer; we can help il.
Yours truly,

REGULAR SCHBDULn RESUMED.
Columbia and Transfer Being Made
on c., N. & L.

For the first time since Sunday New
berry yesterday received an early MORN
ing mail direct from Columbia and the
lower part of the State. The Southern's
early passenger between Charleston
and Greenville got in, and got in only a
very few minutes late.
Owing to the wash-outs on the South
ern track between Alston and Columbia,
and break on the g., N. & l.. trestle
just this side of Columbia, Newberry
and points above on these two lines had
no direct railroad connection with the
lower part of the State after Sunday
night. The Southern's track went only
a few minutes after the passage of the
afternoon passenger going into Colum-
ba and the c., N & l.. trestle followed
suit about three o'clock Monday morn
ing.
On Monday no mail from the lower
part of the State could be received.
On Tuesday Mondays mail from
Charleston was received around by
Augusta and Greenwood, reaching
here at O'Clock in the afternc on, and
the c., N. & l.. connected with a hack
line from Columbia to Irmo and brought
in late in the afternoon Tuesdays mails
from Columbia.
Owing to the flood situation, this was
the only service obtainable until yester-
day morning when the Southern was
able to begin running its passengers on
regular schedule time.
THE c., N. & l..
The break on the c., N. & l.. trcstle
was more serious than was at first
thought, and it will be tomorrow at the
| earliest before this road will be able to
operate train through to Columbia.
| The hack line which has been in opera
ton, however, will be shortened, and
instead of stopping at Irmo, as hereto
| fore, the trains will run to the old Salu-
| da dam, just three miles west of Co
lumbia, connecting with hack line at
that point. An extra was run yester'
day and will be run again today, leav-
ing the Saluda dam at 10 o'clock in the
morning and making the regular con
nections for the up-country. The regu
lar schedule will be operated on the re-
turn.
1t is reported from Columbia that

Talks About the Kansas Colorado
Suit.

Talks About the Kansas Colorado
Suit.
Right in the midst of the flood when
Kansas has more water than she Knows
what to do with, Attorney General f,Ols-
man returned today from Washington,
where he has been with n. II. LOOMS
TO look after the suit brought by Kan
sas to keep Colorado from taking the
water which ought to flow into Kansas.
Just now it would look as though Kan
sas ought to be thankful to Colorado for
taking the water and insist on her TAX
ing more.
In discussing the matter today Attor-
ney General Coleman said:
1T was the purpose of the colorado
attorneys to force the state of Kansas
TO an issue upon the answer already
fled by the state of Colorado, and with
this in view Attorney General Miller
pressed the matter very urgently. The
attorneys representing the state Of
Kansas, after a conference held at
Washington with Attorney General Mil
Ter and Plat Rogers of Denver, repre-
sentinR Colorado, arrived at an agree
ment with them which permits the state
of Kansas to file an amended bin Of
complaint, and to join as defendants the
persons and corporations engaged in
taking the water out of the Arkansas
river in violation of the rights claimed
by this state. This agreement was raJt-
fed by the supreme court and an order
state of Kansas to file its amended bill
of complaint by the 18th Of August next,
when subpoenas viii be issued against
new parties, and the state of Colorado
and the new parties viii be required to
plead in the time allowed by the court.
THE attorneys heretofore engaged in
the case had long ago determined that
ct was proper and necessary to make
some amendments in the bill and to
bring in the new parties. Ex-Attorney
General GODDARD rendered very cOur-
teous and valuable assistance to the at
sornev general, Mr. Loomis, Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Ashbaugh. who have been as
ISOLATED with him by the governor, and
mas aided them materially in meeting
the emergency forced by Attorney
General Miller.
sThis order made by the supreme
court gives the Kansas attorneys ample
time to amend the bill and bring in the
new parties, and leave the case in ex-
reTent condition to be presented in the
most formidable manner"

MORE AMUSING STORIES.
New York Paper Says Congressman
Curtis Used Raft urday Night.

The following. from the New York
World of Sunday, under date of To-
pekas May 80, viii be very amusing to
people who worked in North Topeka:
Congressman Charles Curtis. of the
FIRST Kansas district was the first man
to dare the flood today. His mother.
ninety-six years old, refused to leave
her home last night and this morning
she could not get away Mr. Curtis
who mad been out of town, returned to-
day and was told of his mothers pre-
dicament. He found boat and hurried
TO the rescue. After great difficulty he
Drought his mother safely to land
1t was the only successful trip made
with a row boat today Half an hour
after the rescue Mr.. Curtis home col
lapsed. The congressman put in the
entire day with d rescue party, and is
running a raft tonight.
There are perhaps 800 people home
less here tonight. Few escaped from
North Topeka with anything but the
clothes they had on when rescued. The
churches and public halls are full of
flood sufferers. The city authorities
are feeding them, and local relief
fund has been started to aid them in
re-establishing the homes.
The following is from the New York
American under date of June ]:
Time and again the weary ones on the
roofs have seen the wearier ones that
have chung for twenty-four hours in
the treetops finally abandon hope of
rescue and drop. silently to death in the
flood in the streets.
Some in the trees and on the roofs
have gone mad To the wild medley of
the wind and flood. of pistol shots
ringing out as signals of distress, Of
the cries and groans of the suffering, is
now added the screams and shrieks Of
maniacs, whom exhaustion and exposure
have fired with fevers that have burn
ed reason out of their brains.
A man who had chung desperately
during all the hours to a bending sap
ling that threatened every minute to
be snapped by the rushing waters was
seen by men in boat trying to come
to his rescue. and as they saw him he
was chattering wildly. From his hip
pocket he drew a revolver He put it
to mis- head and blew out his brains.
Then the body of the crazed man
plunged into the brown torrent in the
street.
The Melan bridge. spanning the Kan
sas river, was carried away yes
terday. It was believed that the strong
stone arches of this bridge would with
stand the force of the onrushing flood.
but yesterday the great wall of water
tore stone from stone until the mighty
torrent had cut clear its passage.
