Letter to }. 7. Lawrence & Co., Seneca.

Dear Sirs: You sell a good many things
by the gallon. Being decent man, you
give full measure.
You know what we mean: you know
that short weight and short measure are
common among-well, we hope there are
no short measures and weights in your
town.
There are, though. Ribbons and laces
and trimmings, sold by the "dozen,"
measure nine or ten yards. There is no
complaint, because 'they all do it."
You have the same plague In your goods
nearly everything, canned or bottled,
cheats in the quantity. Almost nobody
gives full weight in factory-packagel
We are one of the almost nobodies.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint your
house; and our gallon is just the same
size as yours that you measure vinegar
with-23l cubic inches.
Good paint too-Devoe lead-and-zinc-
takes fewer gallons than mixed paint
and wears twice as long as lead and oil.
You own house. That's why we are
writing to you. Yours truly,
62 +. w. Devoe & Co.
P. S.-J. w. Bell, Walhalla, G.. w.
Gignilliat, Seneca, and Matheson Hard
ware Co., Westminster, sell our paint.

WaIhalla Circuit.

[Southern Christian Advocate, March 8. ]
Our new pastor, Brother w. Nj. Harden,
met his first appointment January 1st,
1905. He has met them all except time
or two, when prevented by snow and
rain, for in this section the snow and
| sleet has been on the ground about
twenty days. The board of stewards
were called about January 18th, and
made reasonable assessment for our
pastor, who is starting well, and who has
been very faithful to the duties assigned d
to him.
The 18th and 10th was the date of the
Quarterly Conference for this place,
which met at our Factory Hip church.
Our new presiding elder, Rev. r. II.
Jones, came up on Friday afternoon and
spent the night at the parsonage, where
some of the officials-Rev. @. D. Mann
and Rev. E. S. Jones-joined in that
evening to extend him cordial welcome
to our town and to our homes for the
next four years.
We spent very pleasant time together
in our newly furnished parsonage. AL
though not complete, still the churches
have all responded cheerfully SO far, and
we think that during this year we will be
able to make better report on this and
other lines.
Oar presiding elders visit was very
beneficial occasion. He preached two
sermons, which were full of fine thought
and so presented as to make lasting
impression upon his very fine congrega-
tions. We have been accustomed to good
preaching and fine executive ability in
our former presiding elders, and it is
with all due Difference We say that for
fine thought, evidence of preparation,
eloquent presentation, and power of the
Spirit the two sermons preached here by
Brother Jones were hard to excel. His
conduct in the chair was easy, dignifed
and clear-free from mistakes.
The financial report was about twenty
dollars in advance of the same time last
year, and we hope to come out this year
with a clean sheet on all collections, and
many other good things to report later.

William M. Johnson, formerly a
State Senator from Camden, N. j.,
and at the present time sheriff of the
county, has sent in his resignation to
Governor Murphy. Mr.. Johnson is
a Quaker and the law which requires
the hanging of person convicted of
murder in the first degree conflicts
with the tenets Of his religion. This
is the reason for his resignation, it is
said. The fees of the office of
sheriff, which he has resigned,
amount to $4,000 year.

in order that by mutual cooperation
a tidal wave of prosperity may
sweep over this Southland from the
farm to the bank, to the mill, and to
every line or business and profession
in this country.
These are some of the principles
of reforms inaugurated at the great
New Orleans cotton convention and
which are to be put into practical
operation and experience, through
the Southern Cotton Association, the
greatest movement ever conceived
by the brain of man. To say that
this work will fail is reflection
upon the intelligence and manhood
of the South. To say that it will
succeed, but emphasizes the fact that
every man who gives utterance to
such statement realizes that he is
factor in this great movement and
has faith in the ability of the South
to execute as we'll as to resolute, and
he who doubts, or denies that success
cannot be attained, has no faith in
himself and none in his country.

CAN CONGRESS ACT?
Question Confronting Those seeking
Reform in Life Insurance.

New York, Aug. 4.-Three hours of
discussion of life insurance problems
by the committee of the Iroquois club
yesterday left only one question in the
minds of the investigators. 1t was;
rs congress auth orized under the
present legislation to enact legislation
placing the companies under federal
supervision ?''
The possibility of improved state
much hope. A subcommittee of four
attorneys who have made study of
the life insurance laws, was appointed
to look into the questions of constitu-
tional limitations on congressional ac-
ton and to report to the regular COM
mittee at the end of two weeks. 1t is
also requested to investigate any meas
ures to make more effectual the super
vision of the state superintendent
The committee members will con-
fine their attention almost entirely to
learning if the insurance business may
be classed as interstate commerce and
thus come under the jurisdiction OF
congress. If the decision is reached
that the legislation required IS beyond
their authority measures for securing
a. constitutional amendment will be
considered
There are now two bills for the fed
eral regulation of insurance pending
in congress, one fathered by Congress
man MorreIl and the other by Senator
Dryden, who suggests a comprehensive
acted upon and the question of federal
jurisdiction never has been presented
to the supreme court. 1t is in sup
port of the latter proposition that the
Irouuois club and its supporters
probably will turn.
