DEVOE PAINT

When YOU hear Sterling Silver spok-
Ell Of you know that means the finest
of silver. When you hear "DeVoe"
Paint spoken of, just put it down that
"Devoe" means the best Of all paints.
When you buy paint to put on your
house. it is decidedly to your interest
to buy the paint that will cover the
largest number of square feet to the
gallon, and last the longest number
of years. That's Devoe.
If you expect to paint your house this
spring or summer come and see US.
Let us make figures with you. We be-
leve we can convince you that Devoe
is what you want to buy.
1t takes fewer gallons (you buy by
the gaIlon), and it goes farther and
lasts longer.

Letter to School Commissioner Carroll,
Yorkville, S c,

Dear Sir: A painter complained
that our cans are too full; unhandy;
spill.
It's a way we have; It's handler
not to be full: but we have a weak
ness for full measure. Our gallon
contains eight pints; the usual gal
Ion" Is seven,
Well think 1t over again; but we
like a full can. How much short
would you like a barrel? Seven gal
Ions would be the proportion.
ShOrt-measure suggests that the
shortage is probably not in the cheap
est ingredients.
Guess well stick to four quarts Ia
a gallon, and fifty gallons barrel.

CONGRESSMAN
Thomas A. Smith Gets A Hearty
Welcome From The PEG.
pie of Worcester.

Two Of the best political meetings
ever held in Worcester County were
held in Snow Hill last Thursday after
noon and night. There have been larger
crowds at meetings. although the Court
House was comfortably filled upon both
occasions, yet there never was more
attentive audience to greet speakers
than the audience which greeted Hons
Thomas A. Smith, l.. Irving Handy
and j. Harry Covington.
Hon. John p. Moore called the meet
ing to order and Oliver d. Collins. Esq.
was selected for Chairman. Mr.. Collins
in few well chosen remarks introduced
Hon. Thomas A. Smith Mr.. Smith
said he was not going to talk long. but
wanted to say that he appreciated the
splendid audience which had assembled
to cheer him on to victory. He said
the people had elected him fairly and
squarely once, and he wanted them to
repeat the dose He ridiculed Mr.
Jackson's plea for "vindication. He
said Mr.. Jackson had carried his case
before a Republican Congress, and. so
far that body. although largely com
posed of men of the same political faith
as Mr. Jackson had refused him the
kind of vindcation he was waling FOR
Mr.. Smith assured the people he wanted
their support. and would deeply APP
prcciate it.
In the afternoon. following Congress
man Smith, Hon l.. Irving Handy
spoke and he made great speech that
fairly lifted the splendid audience off
its feet. He was frequently interrupted
by vigorous applause and when he men
ton the name of the peerless leader Of
Democracy William Jennings Bryan
the clapping of hands was greater than
at any other time.
In the evening Hon Harry Covington,
States Attorney for Talbot County,
made a splendid speech. full Of meat
for reflection; his audience followed him
closely and was impressed by his telling
thrusts at the forces OF monopoly. He
was followed by Mr.. Handy in even
better speech than he made in the af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Harvey Cooper, President of the
Denton Bank, accompanied Congress
man Smith and the other speakers to
Snow Hill.

Women Fight Suffrage.

Mrs. Caroline +. Corbin, president Of
the Illinois Association, opposed 10 the
extension of the suffrage to women. has
addressed a letter to Leasing Rosenthal
chairman Of the committee on munich
pal suffrage of the Chicago Charter
Convention. in which she dwells on the
relation Of woman suffrage To the pro-
paganda of revolutionary socialism,
which she declares is the most active
and strenuous foe of Christian civiliza-
ton.
Mrs Corbin declares in her letter
ANY economic scheme which puts
woman upon a utilitarian equality with
man makes her his competitor in the
market places Of the word. to the de-
struction of her value as a homemaker.
which deprives her of that virtue which
alone fits her for the duties of mother
hood, by abrogating marriage and en-
couraging promiscuous relations be
tween the sexes must expect TO be
judged according to its merit by the
world at large
Mrs Corbin concludes her letter as
follows
I'VE ask that you will remember
your mothers. wives, the women of
your homes. and by your action protect
them from the evil designs of socialism,
that you will guard them from forced
participation in political strife and CON
tention, whose atmosphere will tend to
reduce them to the coarse and material
istic level of the socialstic conception
of womanhood.
