Law As Applies to obstructi1g
Public Hiphways.

We have been requested to publish
the law as applies to road obstruction
in this State. Following is the law:
Section 453 of the revised statutes
says: IF any person shall wilfully
destroy, injure or in any manner hurt,
damage, impair or obstruct any of the
public highways, or any part thereof,
or any bridge, culyert, drain, ditch,
causeway, embankment, wall toll
gate, dollhouse or other erection be-
longing thereto, or any part thereof,
the person so offending shall upon
conviction thereof be imprisoned not
more than six months or pay fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
both, at the discretion of the Court,
and shall be further liable to pay all
expenses of repairing the same"
The supreme court of this State in
the case of State vs.. Sarter, 2 Strob.,
60, held:
"a road which has been in general
use by all persons, for public pur-
poses, for an uninterrupted period of
20 years or more, is a highway, for
obstructing which an indictment will
lie."

Letter to G. A. Derrick,
Lexington. S, G.,

hSAlllS tOu, -. ~.
Dear Sir: The wear of paint goes
by gallons; the less-gailons paint
wears longest. The reason, Of course,
is it's strength. 1t takes less gallons,
because it is strong; it wears long
time, because it is strong. It is all
paint and the strongest paint.
There is best paint among all
paint paints No two are alike, of
course; no two cover alike or wear
alike. One is thin, another is thick;
one has too much lead, another too
much zinc, another is right. The
right is Devoe, so far as is yet known.
Perhaps somebody-else will find out a
better paint than Devoe; then De-
voc will become more-gallons paint,
a costlier paint, a weaker paint, a
less-durable paint, less-economical
paint, timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have
come over the world. Devoe has the
lead; why shouldn't we lose it to
somebodyelse?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & co.
P. S. The Kaufman Drug Co., sells
our paint.
