Letter to Dr.. NJ. E. Robinson,
Goldsb0ro, N, C.

Dear Sir: Shufert Hardware Co,
Hickory, N. c., bought a carload OF
paint; after selling it a few months,
found out it measured seven lpints a
"gallon."
Returned it to the maker and
credited customers with what they
had lost from short measure.
What do you think of a short.
measure paint? DON'T you think il
half white-wash? Half the paints
are part w~hibe-Wash.
Go by the name: Devoe lead-and-
zinc. No whiting or clay in that;
full-measure besides. A gallon De
voc is worth twoof wbitewash paint.
Yours truly,

Khaki in the Army.

The War Department has issued specifications for 100000 yards of khaki cloth, and a contractor must stand ready to furnish 100000 yards additional. The specifications are drastic. The raw material must be ''the best long-staple, high-grade Amer ican cotton," and there must be no imperfections in the weaving or siz- ing. The khaki shade must be abso- lutely fast to laundering, precipitation and climatic influences such as sun light, air and exposure incident to the military service. Khaki is durable, but it is not heavy or warm. All armies are now clad in khaki in warm weather, and policeman promise to be dressed in a like manner. The army calls for khaki that shall be at once soft, pliable and water-repellent, and yet durable. The cloth is woven twenty-eight inches wide, and in the army it must meet tensile as we'll as laundry tests.
 The use of khaki in the armies of the world will materially increase the use of cotton. Even the armies in Manchuria wear it, and they are To- cated at present in high latitude. Every year increases the uses of cot ton, and the world will call each year for more and more of it. The commer- cial crop of the world is grown in this country, and there are no indications that the weight of it will ever be grown elsewhere. Some Egyptian cot ton adapted to special uses .creeps into commercial channels, but the cotton grown in East India and other countries is all needed where 1t is grown.

China is Wide Awake.

The hard bumps that China got in 1896 at the hands of Japans, and in 1900 at the hands of the allied nations has at length aroused China from her long slumber. This feeling has no doubt been deepened by the remark able success of the new Japan in her war with Russia. That war is an ob feet lesson to all the Far East, espe- cially to China.
 All evidence goes to show that China either with or without Japan aid proposes to assimilate every bit of western method, device or knowl- edge that can be rendered effective in Chinese hands All are in favor of the peaceful change from the Emuress Dowager down to the humblest China man. Everything of practical na- ture is to be put on western lines. Even the new army is to be trained in western style by western officers. The new army is to be national army, and it will take the place of the crude armies of the provinces. Rail roads, telegraph lines and telephone systems are to be extended as rapidly as possible, and postoffice facilities are to be brought up to western stand ards. The schools are excellent and numerous, but western methods are to become fashionable and even pop ular in them. Every young man who has studied abroad or in Japan is to be pressed into the service.
 China puts out no programme. She says nothing. But those who know what is going on in the giant country see in the near future a new China that will follow closely in Japan's footsteps, and that will indeed in a generation outrank Japan. The basis Is essentially the same. The Chinese are as bright and alert as the Japan csc. and they will fight just as well when they see they have a square chance. They propose to secure a chance of that sort, and this is why it is no longer good policy to insult her people through exclusion laws barbarously enforced. China's integ- rity is already secure, and only time is needed in which to bring her up to the place that her population and scholarship and race ideals call for. The new China will be an addition to the great powers of the world.

of the increased rate, and he further decides that restitution of the in. creased rate from it's beginning must be made by the defendant companies.
 This sweeping decision is subject to review by the higher federal courts, and if the railroads decide to test the questions involved in the appellate courts two or three years will elapse before restitution is made, assuming of course, that Judge Speer's decision will be upheld.
 under the decision of Judge Speer the lumbermen of Alabama would re- cover from the railroads something over three hundred thousand dollars, and they are naturally interested in the Georgia case. Judge Speer's de- clsion contains eight thousand words, and it is much too long to lay before the general reader. An appeal will doubtless be taken, and the opinion handed down at Macon Is therefore but a single step in long line of liti- gation.

lmmiuration Problems.

It is easy to regulate the conditions of the admission of immigrants at our norts. but it is not so easy to distrlb- ute to the best advantage Of tnem- selves and of the country after they are admitted. The latter difficulty arises simply because all immigrants are dumped into New York or other eastern cities which are already sur fering from a congestion of them.
 Until the stream is unloaded in sec lions that need immigrants there is little hope of material change, sim nlv because the average immigrant at the time of his arrival has not money enough to carry him far inland. lie must stop to earn money near where he is landed. Congress can at small expense land all Italian immigrants at New Orleans. It can do so until the SOutl ana SOuIuWCDC SiiSo f"oN-' and that will not be very soon. lmml- grants needed in the country beyond the Mississippi should be landed ft New Orleans. Congress has full power over the matter, instead of im- posing new tests or new conditions or new fees, it should simply cause them to be landed in the section that needs them.
 This country and the countries from which immigrants come to us should cooperate in a movement that would land the new corners near where they are needed Until this is done there is little prospect that the eastern states and cities will be relieved of a persistent tide of people whom they do not want and cannot readily-assim- Hate.

Mock Marriage.

Society at Ashville, Ala, has had a good deal of fun over the mock marriage of Mir. Oscar Clark and Miss Ester Nunnally, a highly esteemed couple said a Birmingham man whose family is, spending the summer in St. Clair county.

The coke consumed III liliholS stacks is carted from Connellsville, and the chances are therefore very good that Alabama will yet secure third place. for almost invariably the ore seeks the fuel In this district both lie together. Illinois has an am pie coal supply; but none of it can be coked. and the trundling of coke from Pennsylvania is a serious handicap.
 The report shows, too, that no new Bessemer plant was built in 1904. The production of Bessemer steel. in 1903, was S,592S29 tons, and in 1904 it fell to 7,S59,140 tons. The production of open hearth steel was, on the other hand, increased, standing in 1904 at 5,90S,166 tons. Open hearth steel is now made in 116 works in sixteen states, and the indications now are that Bessemer steel will fall into sec ond place in about three years. The increase in production of open hearth steel last year was but 7S,255 tons, but. says the Iron Trade Review, any increase at all in year which wit messed a general reaction in business, and especially in the iron trade, arks an important advance in the open.hearth branch of our iron and steel industries"

Lumber Rates in the South.

Judge Emory Speer of the federal court, in the southern district of Georgia, has filed long opinion in which he upholds the conclusions of the interstate commerce commission when it says the increased rate of 2 cents per 100 pounds upon lumber started in the south and billed to Ohio river points is unreasonable and ille- gal. Judge Speer enjoins the rail roads named in the suit that was heard by him from further collections

Tribute to Trainmen.

Tt is the rank and file of the railroad men and not the officials who carry passengers safely to their destination" said General Manager Garrett of the Queen and Crescent route to a repre- sentative of the Cincinnati Times-Star yesterday. 'If the rank and file of the railroad army is intelligent, earnest and trustworthy. there is no particular dan- ger in rapid running any more than there is in slow running. For this req son l am glad to see the New York Gen. tral-Big Four fast train between Chi cago and New York will be restored at once. There is a demand for it and a railroad to be successful must meet the public demand, if 1t can do so, while guaranteeing safety to the passengers, and those two roads can do that, with out doubt II was not because of the high speed that the Twentieth Century limited was wrecked near Cleveland. The same thing might have happened to a slow train and the results might have been just as disastrous. It is up to the operating force of a railroad to put a train through in safety. The officials simply give the orders and after that the passengers are in the hands of the en- zine men. the train dispatcher, the yard men, the watchmen, the section men, the bridgemen and the signalmen They are the real operators of a railroad and they deserve the credit for all the fast time ant. the successful runs that are made. With good track and good men in the op- erating departments of a railroad fast train Is no more liable to wreck than a slow one. The public is entitled to fast trains if 1t wants them and there is no reason why they should not be as safe as the slow ones'

THE BRIGHT. SIDE.

From the Chicago Chronicle. Go pluck from every flaming bush
 The dewy rose of morn, And keep the ruby-colored cup,
 But cast away the thorn; Retain the flowers golden heart, But not the bitter smart. Go look on life in every scene,
 The gloomy and th- gay, Remembering the splendid ones.
 And cast the rest away; Recall the ones with love aglow, But turn away from woe. Go sip from all the cups of life
 In all her ways among, But banish all the thought of dregs
 And keep upon your tongue The honey, sweetest draught of ail But throw away the gall

EMPLOYERS METHODS IN
 TREATMENT OF EMPLOYES
From the New York Commercial.

rioih lhe New York Commercial
 N ROBERT II. MoDLER. who bas " recently told of the head of a large manufacturing and whole sale millinery business in the west who never fires an employe, now quotes this man himself in further explanation of his system.
 One of the features of my plan" he says, lis to show the employe that he has a chance for the position just ahead of him. Throughout the firm, in every de- partment, there is always an understudv for the more important positions. There are two sides to this feature The in- cumbent is thus taught to be careful knowing that there is another man trained and ready to take his place, and the un- derstudy does his present work all the better through being encouraged by his prospects.
 Another is the plan of cooperation. When man shows that he Is contribut- ing to the profits of the firm he Is given stock in 1t. He is not required to pay for it upon its delivery, but is allowed such easy terms that he can pay for it from the stocks own dividends. Thus his efforts toward increasing the profits of the firm are sure to be increased. Elm ployes are given two weeks vacation in the summer time and one in the winter, with pay, and are paid when absent through good cause. None of this is done because of any sentiment on the part of the firms head, but because it is good business
 Tn the millinery business there is a season during which every employe in a firm is rushed to death. In this sea- son it is easy to see whether or not the employe appreciates and reciprocates the
