Letter to Sidney Adams,
Walhalla, s. C.

Dear Sir: II we sell Devoe to paint
your town, your read won't have 80
much freight to handle,
1t takes ten gallons to paint a fair
size house, and that house won't
want painting again for five or ten
years. That's true in way; but peo-
pie, you know, rather like fresh paint
and they paint for nothing but looks
sometimes.
That house would take 12 or l3
gallons OF almost any other paint
than Devoe, and would have to be
painted again in half that time. Ten
years is very long time for paint
to wear, and fiye isn't short.
Which makes the most fright, \
10 or 20-gallon paint? s or. 1O-year
paint? But the 10-gallon paint is
the 10-year paint, and the 20-gallon
paint is the 5-year paint. Which
makes the most freight?
Ask your paint dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most Of. A; < your painter which
he'd rather paint; whether good or
bad paint is good for his business;
which is good paint, the 10 or 15-
gallon paint; which pays most
freight, and which pays most wages? |?
Which will you buy yourself, the 10
gallon 1o-year, or 20-gallon 5-year,
paint? Yours truly,
21 f. w. Devoe & Co.
P. S.-J. w. Bell, Walhalla, and
Seneca Mercantile Co., Seneca. sell
our paint.

"No, 1 won't join all organization

where I would drop out"
Now, let's carry this resolution out
and see If this man can live in the

as ole Dave and Tom. All these are
nothing less than organizations for
the purpose Of protecting the peace
and dignity Of the count !, whilst
the farmers organizations are formed
to protect our common farming in
terests.
If you can't stay in anything for
the good Of yourself and all your fel-
low farmers. because you don't love
every man, you know, you had better
get up a trot on your old selfish car
cass and keep it up until you land

Hush! BE Still and Aisten.

When the wires begin to ring out
the Farmers Union minimum prices
for cotton let everybody join in a
regular swan song to stand for the
minimum price and all will be well
for the good Of the whole South.
Before you offer a resolution that
is likely to revolutionize things to any
considerable extent, ask yourself If 1t
Is right. And then the second
thought--.can 1t be done? .Ha
Just so sure as there Is a good time
and place to begin, there Is good
time ana place to stop in everything.
1t is stated that the good wife of a
South Carolina Farmers Union man
gave birth to three sons in one day.
At the next meeting of his local union
a committee was appointed to en-
quire of the brother IL he meant to
self and family, or did he intend this
three-at-a-time act as a mild protest
against the importation Of foreign
immigrants? At last accounts the
committee was not in shape to make
report
Oh, no! When your local was or
ganized the thing was not finished.
You were not organized for the pur-
pose OF passing few strong resolu-
tions to bluff the other fellow! But
to cooperate with each other for the
good of all. .
Organization without cooperation
is something like spending lot of
time putting on style, and losing lots
of sleep and other things too tedious
to mention to win your position, and
then for the lack of grit and pluck,
let some other fellow take the prize.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" You need not fool yourself
by thinking that since you have
knocked out the bucket shop, bully
raggd the cotton speculator, bluffed
the New York Cotton Exchange and
fiy-blown the government cotton re-
ports, that you can now retire to
your homes In peace and plenty. You
mast keep at it all the while, looking
out for the same old enemies to poke
out their heads In new place. Keep
your organization strong and ready
to deal deadly blow to these snake
heads eve ~ time they peep out of the
bog below.
