FRIDAY, MAY IL, 1905.

THE Columbia Record seems to
think that South Carolina newspapers
cannot afford to criticise other states
for abuse of the pension law when
we have so much Of the evil here at
home. AS the Record says, the state
board has found hundreds Of names
on the list which ought not to be
there. This Is not meant as an attack
on the old soldiers. because they are
entitled to all the state can feel JUS
titled in paying, yet In almost every
county men who never shouldered a
musket and who never heard the
sound of a battle are living on the
money which should go to those who
fought for the south. All Of US can
doubtless point to some particular case
of grating. IF the newspapers
says the Record, by publishing. the
county lists are instrumental In hav-
ing the names Of those not entitled TO
pensions stricken off they will In some
measure perform q duty to the pubic
and to the Confederate soldiers.
The pension grab in the north Is no.
torious and 1t Is getting notorious In
the south.-Greenville News.
There Is something In the remarks
of both our contemporaries. We have
known of cases in which we believed
that the generosity of the state was
being outrageously abused; but we
have no hesitation In confessing re-
luctance to undertake to stir up a
matter like this. On the contrary we
have been content to publish the lists
for the benefit and information OF
those who are really entitled to PEN
sions, and also in order that people
who know may have the opportunity
of questioning the right Of others
who may be improperly on the rolls.

Dear Sirs: Clothing Is just like
paint. 1t fits or 1t don't; 1t wears or
II don't turns weather and water or
not: but goes out Of fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did
you ever think of It? Different per-
sons have different reasons, no doubt,
but one paints Devoe for beauty, to
be in the fashion, and keep-out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint.
There Is beauty in paint we paint
good deal for that. And buildings are
costly and fashionable; put-on a wa
ter-proof two or three coats Of paint.
and your buildings last as long as
you keep them dry. 1t costs nothing
to paint: II costs your building not to.
Devoe Is the paint that lasts. disap-
pointing paints are the paints that
cost. Yours truly
P. S.-J. ]. KELLER & CO., sell
