Letter to J. N. Craps.
Lexington, S. G.

Dear Sir: Mr.. n. Avery, Delhi,
N. T.. had two houses exactly alike :,
apd painted them; one Devoe lead
ard-zinc; the other barytes-and-zinc.
He paid same price for both paints.
He used ak gallons of ]ead-and-
zinc, IL gallons barytee-and.zinc.
He paid S18 for painting lead. and
ziuc, S36 for painting bsrytes-and-
zinc.
The total cost of the lead.and. zinc
job was $27; the total coat of the
barvtes. aDd-zinc job was S54.
He didn't know be was buying
barytes; the dealer told him that
paint was as good as Devoe.
A fair example of how it generally
comes-out, when YOU buy ''something
just az good" Better go by the
name; and the name is Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co,
New York.

Tn q city of $4,000 inhabitants q

In a city of $4,000 inhabitants q
mayor and board of aldermen were
elected Yesterday by total vote of
1856. This small vote wac, OF course,
due to the fact that the election was
settled in the primary. Taking
congressional district, about the same
proportionate vote is caet at the gen
eral election, which is the one which
really elects candidate. The habit
we have gotten into of not voting at
general elections for congressman Is
one which gives Republicans some
prima facie evidence upon which to
make contest, because congressman
generally cannot understand why 90
small vote is cast in the election
Columbia Evening Record.
The above is truth as applicable
to the State at large as it is to the
city of Columbia, and it is condition
existing that is deplorsble, and if
continued to be practiced by the
voters at large is liable to work much
harm.
It is as much the bounden duty OF
the elector to vote in the general
election as it is in the primary. We
be]ieye that when an elector presents
himself to vote at the primary elec-
tiop. he takes an oath that he will
support { nominees of the Demo
cratic party, and if he fails to do 90
at the general election, it follows as
matter of course that he disregards
his oath to cay the least.
Another bad effect that this care
lessne IS and indifference, for it can be
called by no other names, of the voter
is that it gives a semblance Of truth
to the contention of the Republican
contestants for Democratic seats in
Congress that the Democratic vote
was so small in the general election
that had some of the negroes not
been disfrsnchised. the contestant
would have been elected and the
Northern Republicans, not under
standing the true situation, give
them a responsive ea-.
Democrats should do their duty in
the next general election by support
ing the nominees of the party.

Wednesday, April 13, 1904.

The new Board of Directors Of the
State Dispensary have started out
with an apparent determination, to
make the dispenssry authorities, as
we'll as the public at large conform
10 the provisions of the dispensary
law in regard to the selling of whis-
XIV. It is notorious fact that many
dispensers. notably in the cities, have
disregarded the plain mandates OF
the law, aud have sold whisky indis-
criminstely to minors, habitual drunk
ards and to intoxicated persons. 10
such an extent has this fsgrant
violatiou of the law been pracsiced
BY the sworn officers of the law, that
the feeling has passed into an axiom,
that as long as the dispensary officials
were permitted to openly violate the
law and allowed to go unpunishe',
it was wrong to COL Lvics private clti-
zens for blind tigering, and in some
localities it was we'll nigh impossible
to obtain conviction of the persons
arranged before the bar OF justice
charged with crime of this nature.
The beard has changed all this
now aod have placed themselves upon
record as determined to have the law
obeyed by the citizens as we'll as by
the States employee. They have
passed resolution ccmmsnding the
various dispensers to make the sppli-
csnts for the purchase of l;q1ors sign
an application for such purchase,
that be shall be 81 years ofage, must
not he intoxicated and must not be
an hsbitusl drupkard, and have mott.
fed them that the order must be
obeyed apd will be vigorously epfor-
cad. We commend the directors for
this IF ,rt to enforce the moral side
of the dispensarv law.
