Lexington, S. @.

Dear Sir: We make Devoe, and of
course know what there is in it.; but
you don't, your neighbors don't, and
the people don't. So we get the
official chemist of every State in the
Union to analyze it and tell what he
finds; of course, they find what we
putin: lead zinc and oil, little tur-
pentine dryer, and color for tints.
And that's paint. Every agent has
the analysis of Devoe by his State
chemist.
We also analyze all other paints,
and what do we find?
We find eight made Of the same
materials as Devoe: all paint: pure
paint. But we find no one of the
same proportions as Deyoe: no one 80
strong.
And people are trying Devoe along
side Of these other paints, and finding
out how they work: what it costs to
paint Devoe; what it costs to paint
those several paints; how they wear
alongside and comparatively.
There's no guess-work in any Of
these results. A gallon Bevoe goes
further than any other gallon in all
paint; it therefore saves both parts of
first of q job, of paint and labor. It
makes the best job of the lot, besides.
It takes years and experiences by the
Thousand to find that out.
Yours truly

Our County Officials Praised.

Mr.. E. B. Wilson, the very efficient
and popular chief clerk in the COM
ptroller-generaps Office, was in Lex
iugton on Friday for the purpose of
making the annual settlement with
out county officials. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Wilson found everything
in apple-pie order; he always does in
this county.
In talk with The Dispatch man,
Mr.. Wilson took occasion to laud
County Auditor Dent, County Treas
urer Wingard, Supervisor Langford and
County Superintendent of Education
Martin for the very excellent manner
n which they keep their books and
records. These are the only officials
with whom Mr.. Wilson has to deal.
He said, among other things:
''There is no county in the state
that has better set of officers than
Lexington, 80 far as it is able to dis
Germ from their books and records.
We never do find any trouble in max
ing settlement with this county, and
the people are to be congratulated up
ON the selection of such excellent men
to look after the county's affsirs.''
In the afternoon MIR. Wilson, in COM
pauy with County Aaditor Dent, went
to Georges pond for a few hours
fishing.

the public mind not the slightest

length be put in the hands of joint
special committee representing both.

Sydney Woods, the Brokaw butler,
testified for the defense that he had
served cocktails to Mrs Brokaw in a

she was up and dressed, and when she
was in bed. He was positive that he
had seen Mrs. Brokaw putting cigar
cites and that he had served her with
them in her room. During the but

her own testimony would only own
to an experience Of four cocktails and
an occasional cigarette, sat open

For Torture
Inflicted Upon
Prisoners

OS ANGELES, Dec. 20.-Hypoder.
mic injections of salt water or OF
Chilli sauce, or in extreme cases
a mixture of both was a form OF
torture attributed to President Ze.
laya of Nicaragua, by Marshall r.
ONeill, civil engineer and soldier of
fortune, who is now in the city.
ONeill went to Nicaragua in 1900,
to take charge of construction work
for men who had obtained a railroad
concession. With other Americans
he engaged in a plot for the invasion
of Nicaragua from Honduras. The
conspirators were arrested and SEN
fenced to be shot, but were saved from
death by the activity of British con-
sui.
Eighteen men and women were ar
rested later in connection with a
fresh conspiracy. When they refused
to confess hypodermic injections of
salt water and then of Chilli sauce
were administered, according to
ONeill. They remained obdurate and
under Zelaya's personal direction,
O'Neill charges, mixtures of salt
water and Chilli sauce were admin
istered until the prisoners ascknowl-
edged their guilt and were put to
death. ONeill says Nicaraguans esti-
mate Zelaya's fortune at from 500
100000 to $50,000,000. He describes
Estrada, leader of the insurgents, as
superior Intellectually and man of
progressive ideas, which he imbibed
as a youth when ne visited this coun-
try. Estrada, he says, has been
wounded 20 times and is SCARED and
crippled as the result of his battles.

BALLINGER NO LONGER WILLING TO
QUIETLY BOW His HEAD TO ABUSE
Upon Demand Of Secretary for Full Investigation President
Reluctantly AbandOns Hope That Country Would
Accept Ills VindicatiOn OF BaIlin6er

A. ASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-President
WI Taft today yielded to the de-
mands Of both Secretary Bal
l1nger and his critics for a public in
vestigation of the whole subject mat
ter underlying the so-called Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy.
Mr.. Ballinger this afternoon served
upon the president virtually an ulti-
matum to the effect that such an in
vestigation was indeed the price of
his remaining in the cabinet. He
made it clear that he was no longer
willing to sit silent and wait for the
thing to blow over.
Mr.. Taft, it is said, reluctantly ad-
mitted the disappointment of his hope
that the country would accept as final
his vindication of Mr.. Ballinger in
dismissal of the charges brought
against the secretary of the interior
by l.. r. CLAWS, former special agent
of the land office and his conclusion
that the investigation demanded by
both sides was inevitable.
Mr.. Ballinger's attitude in the mat
ter has the support of leading Repub-
licans in both branches of congress
senators and representatives-who
feel that, entirely apart from the mer-
its of the controversy itself, a Tester
ing sore of this character must poi
son the whole system of the party in
power and that it is high time to
resort to the lance.
These leaders, determined that q
cleansing of this wound is necessary,
have not hesitated to go to the White
house and impress their views upon
Mr.. Taft. Conferences of a conf
Dental character, in which members
of the cabinet, party leaders in both
houses of congress, and the president
himself have participated, have been
held in the last few days. They cul
minated today when Secretary Bal
linger, Attorney General Wickersham
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
met in Mr.. Wickersham's office and
proceeded thence to the White house,
where the matter was laid before the
president.
Mr.. Ballinger told the president, it
is said, that the situation had become
intolerable to him and though he
thought that the constant charges
against him had come from irrespon-
sible persons, he could no longer sit
supinely by, and in justice to him
self, he felt compelled to insist upon
an investigation.
The president was given to under

Anew YORK, Dec. 2O.--Robbers who
lHV struck down watchman as they
were looting a store in Oyster
Bay today, did not reckon with his
wife who was following him. AS a
consequence of the woman's interfer,
ence when the fight was over one
burglar was shot and another was un-
conscious.
Mrs. Richard Golden, wife of a
Long Island railroad employe, was the
heroine of the affray. Golden started
on burglar hunt. His wife followed,
carrying a large stick. Golden saw
lights in Thomas Bros store and in
vestigated. He found three men were
working over the safe and piling up
goods
Hands up!" yelled Golden. The
men obeyed, but as Golden approached
one of the men felled him with a
club and the three pounced upon him.
They had not seen the young woman
following. She struck down two of
them with club and stunned a third
man who was graphing with Golden

cock. 1t is known tonight that he has
uhe sympathy also of other members
of the cabinet.
Tomorrow is cabinet day. There
can be little doubt that this will be
one of the important subjects of the
meeting. Probably this is one of the
reasons that the investigation, backed
by the administration, will not be
broached in congress before the holi-
day recess.
Fourth, the desire to do justice to-
uation are taken into consideration
by party leaders.

caused by the train running at Excess

the conclusion reached by a board OF

and crossing two gullies. 1t turned

The mail car, baggage car and tourist

left the rails. In the wreck the en-

10 the Belgians this good looking
young woman with brown hair and

great mystery but they accepted her
as they have the other whims of the

with unconcern her absolute dominion
over the kings private life.

In spite of dispatches from Italy and
other countries that King Leopold and
Baroness Vaughan had been married
according to the rites of the church,
the kings personal friends persist in
their disbelief Of this, while they char
acterize the stories of a civil union as
pure nonsense.
Prince Albert's happy plan to re-
unite the separted family was fulfilled
today. AS Baroness Vaughan passed
out forever from Belgian life, Princess
Louise triumphantly entered the city
and was officially greeted at the sta
tion and acclaimed by the people. She
was accompanied by royal honors to
the chateau Belvedere, which hence
forth will be her official home.
Again today a vast crowd viewed
the body of the late king. Many
people who came in from the provinces
were incensed that the gates were

the chamber of deputies is being re-
arranged for the ceremonies on Tues
