1t was Mr. Long who furnished the

failed to meet success. If Mr.. Long
could not FL their orders at once, he
asked them to come back at 1 o'clock

LETTER TO Rosr. CONRAD.

Dear Sir: A big mill-owner,
Spartansburg, s. c., wanted 5000
gallons Of paint, and bought by
price; paid 5 cents less than ours !;
got a "lead and zinc" paint; but
the lead was sulphate of!ead, not car
Donate. Sulphate costs about half !;
and covers about half.
That paint was adnletrated about
six times as much as the 5 cents
paid for. He saved" 5 cents ;
and it cost him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than
that; we forgot the labor. Can't
work it out exactly; don't know
how long it'll wear.
Short measure besides !; that alone
was twice as much as his saving"
5 cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss there ;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it.
The maker made something on that
be didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't
make much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name and the name
ii Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,
r. w DEvoE y CO.,

Suicide Prevented.

The startling announcement that
a preventive of suicide had been
discovered will interest many. A
run down system, or dependency
invariably precede suicide and
something has been found that will
prevent that condition which makes
suicide likely. AT the frst thought
of self destruction take Electric
Bitters. 1t being great tonic and
nervine will strengthen the nerves
and build up the system. It's also

1t being ascretained that there was
in the whole country citizen in hid
ing who had boasted in an idle NOM
ent that he had never applied for a
pension, body of patriots started out
i'm search of him.
When finally apprehended, the man
appeared logged and defiant.
Il am the possessor. . he declared,
" of robust constitution and none of
my ancestors, 80 far as | know, ever
took part in the War of the Rebellion.
Why should l rob the public treas
ury?"
And is this, exclaimed the head
Of the party, your only excuse
Have you no regard, sir, for the Gus
toms and traditions of your sacred
land? Don't You know that for years
every lawyer and every political party
in the country. from motives OF pure
patriotism, has labored to get every
man, woman and child ON the pension
