IT'S FALSE, SAYS
Gov. BROWN
Absolutely Untrue, Says Cover.
nor Smith, So Warfie|d
Is Condemned.

At primary election held in Howard
County last Saturday former Governor
Warfeld made vicious attack on the
leaders Of both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. He made special men,
ton of Hon. John Walter Smith, and
said that Ex-Governor Brown had in
formed him that Mr.. Smith had given
him money to carry Baltimore against
Warfeld in the Senatorial primaries.
When Mr.. Warfield's remarks were
shown to Mr.. Brown he denied en-
phatically that he had told Mr.. Warfeld
anything of the kind. He also said that,
as a fact, Mr.. Smith had never given
him dollar.
When Mr.. Smith was asked about the
matter, he said that Governor Brown
had stated correctly that he had not
contributed one dollar to the Baltimore
City campaign, but that he had, accord
ing to his custom for the past twenty
years contributed to the campaign fund
of his party. He said he was interest
ed in the success of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket and that he took pleasure
in helping to defray the expenses of the
campaign.
1t is the opinion of Democrats all over
the State that Mr.. Warfield's position
is not an enviable one.

Letter to w. J. Henderson
Snow Hill, Nd.

Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine full of
knots are two differant things; they are
both called pine.
Clear paint and paint adulterated with
whiting china-clay, ground stone. barry
ties, benzine and water, are different
things; they are both called paint"
II takes less labor to work clear pine
than pine knots. and costs less money.
1t take less labor to paint clear paint
than half-whiting or half china clay or
half ground stone or half barytes. These
mixtures make more gallons, not more
paint. There's no more milk in two
quarts of milk-and-water than in one
quart of milk. If you paint two gallons
for one you pay double for labor; and la
Dor costs more than paint.
You know how it is with clear lumber
and knots. It's the same with all paint
and half-paint.
A day 's-work is gallon of paint or
half paint.
Apply it to business. Suppose you have
two houses, same size; paint one Devoe,
the other the other prominent paint in
your town.
1t takes 10 gallons Devoe, Sl.75a gal
Ion, $l7.50 for paint; So gallon for la
Dor, $50 for labor; whole job. S47.50
Ii takes Is gallons Of that other paint,
same price, SIG. % for paint; SO a gallon
for labor. $45 for labor; whole job $7l.25
And which wears best, clear pine or
pine knots? Devoe wears better than
that weak paint.
What warrant is there for saying that
paint is weak? II makes more gallons.
Yours truly
81 +. w. DEVOE & co.

To Nominate Straight Ticket.

A very prominent Republican of Wor-
cester County has announced that his
party intends to nominate a straight
Republican ticket this year. He said:
There is nothing in it for us making
combinations with so-called Independ-
ents and with other parties weaker than
we are. We may not nominate COM
plete ticket, but what we do nominate
we shall advocate, and nc other. IN
making combinations we have almost
lost our identity and we have gone
backward while the party, in other
sections Of the State, which has nomi-
mated Republicans straight and refused
its endorsement to any others than Re-
publicans, has gained ground"

The members of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, who have been expert
menting for some time past on serum
that will prevent the spread Of the hog
cholera, have reason to believe that
they have succeeded, and it is not UNI
likely that the State Legislature will
be asked for an appropriation that will
enable the Board to establish a station
in one of the counties where the serum
can be made and used for free distri-
button when the hog cholra threatens
to become epidemic.
II is estimated that SO. 900 hogs die of
the cholera in Maryland each. year, and
that this is monetary loss Of $500. 600
annually to the Maryland farmers.
The greater portion of this loss, the
members of the Board believe, can be
stopped. The recent experiments have
been carried out in Upper Marlboro.
The experiments are along lines orig
inally suggested by the Government
Bureau Of Animal Industry.
