As one passes Tie cotton fields

ty of burs that are upon.the stalks.
The frost has killed the leaves

but few bolls are in evidence,
however.
There is but little cotton in the
Edge6eid warehouse-much less

Letter to An Edgefield Lawyer,
EDeEF1ELD, S. c..
Dear Sir: AS your business is
to get people into and out Of
trouble, suppose you consider
Eheir paint; it makes 'em almost
as much trouble as money, except
| of course matrimooy.

don't know any better; they buy
without Think ,g. Bad paint isn't
good. 1t looks good-euough for a
year; then begins to get rusty;
but changes so slowly, one don't
notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business
of paint is to,keep a house dry
| inside. the wood and iron of it;
