most friendly compaionship. although
long ago the judge had consigned his
foolish hopes TO the dead past
But Diana. who had never been very
astute in arithmetic, was doubly so in
mind reading, and she penetrated the
judges most sacred thoughts with
subtle diviration. Then" said she,

LETTER TO j. A. SHIELDS,
Dawson Ga

Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine
full of knots are two different
things; they are both called pine.
Clear paint and~paint adulterated
with whiting, china-clay, ground
stone, barytes, benzine and water,
are different things; they are both
called paint"
1t takes less labor to work clear
pine than pine knots, and costs less
money.
1t takes less labor to paint clear
paint than half-whiting or half Chi
na-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
&Rd-water than in one quart of milk.
If you paint two ganons for one you
pay double for labor; and labor 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 a gallon or paint
or half-paint
Apply it to business. Suppose you
have two houses, same size; paint
one Devoe, the other prominent paint
in your town.
1t takes 10 gallons Devoe, $1.75
a gallon, $3.50 for paint; SO a gall
lon for labor $50 for labor; whole
job, $47.50.
1t takes Is gallons of that other
paint, same price, $26.25 for paint;
SO a gallon for labor $45 for labor;
Whole job S71.25.
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? 1t takes more
gallons. Yours truly
"a F w DEVOE & co

TO STORM WASHINGTON.

There does not appear to be any
let-up in the efforts to compel at
tention to the woman suffrage as
piration.
Repeated reflections, scoffing and
lampooning do not abate the ambi-
ton of its advocates to force the
question. They are proof against
conviction, and it seems idle to set
up opposition.
The vigor which the women bent
on this reform" are displaying is
marvellous. If it were men seeking
an object they would long ago have
given up in despair. Now the wo-
men propose to descend upon Wash
ington when the weather cools, and
make life miserable for the con-
gressmen who refuse to countenance
their mission. If nagging will
achieve anything these would-be suf-
fragists will make their presence
felt.
As long as three-fourths of the
women are Indifferent to this meas
ure and large element of them hos
tile the lawmakers at Washington
will treat the proposition as a joke,
and let it go at that.
While they recognize the good
which women exert and the influence
they WELD in their proper sphere,
it will be long time before the con-
gressmen will seriously entertain
any plea that may be set forth in
behalf of female suffrage.

Stands Self-Condemned.

From the Triton Gazette.
The Georgia senate needs no mon
itOr to condemn it. Indeed it await
ed not the indignant voice of the
people of the state, but by it's own
act it stands self-convicted and ac-
knowledges it's error. Ten days ago
it passed a law taking from the gov
ernor the right to remove a railroad
commissioner from office. A few
days later it passed a resolution ap-
proving the removal of railroad
commissioner by the governor. If it
is to the interest of the people that
the governor have this power and
use it then the senate had no right
to take it away from him. If it is
against the best interests of the peo-
pie that the governor have and use
this power then the senate did wrong
when it approved such removal. In
any event the senate stands a self
acknowledged body of politicians.
ready to do wrong to crafty a pref
udice or further individual seif-in-
terest.

THIS WOULD HELP.

Of all the movements toward re-
ducing the terrible mortality from
consumption there is none which
promises more, if it is carried out,
than that proposed by one of the
large life insurance companies, and
which would doubtless be followed
by others.
The insurance company has al
ready secured options upon large
tract of land, and asks permission of
the government of the state in
which it is located to erect nee
essary buildings, properly equip them
and conduct a large sanitarium
where its policyholders who are
afflicted with tuberculosis may be
treated at the cOmpany's expense.
The company's officers estimate that
thousands of its policyholders die
each year from consumption, and that
an immense amount of money would
be saved if even a small proportion
of these deaths could be prevented.
The expenses of conducting such
sanitarium would be large, but moth
ing in comparison to the money
saved.
The fact that the proposition is
purely a business one rather than
does not rob it of its
virtue. If life insurance shall be the
means of prolonging life and lessen
ing the death rate it viii have en-
tered a field as beneficial as the one
now filled by 1.-THE caring for those
left dependent by death.

1t is gratifying intelligence that
comes from Washington that Hon.
James NJ. Griggs, representative in
Congress from this district, has been
assigned again to the Ways and
Means Committee. The Ways and
Means is the chief committee of the
House, and assignments to it are very
desirable. The fact that Representa-
tive Griggs has been accorded this
distinction over so many distinguish
ed democratic statesmen is a high
tribute to him for his energy and
ability.

Ia clerk in the controller-general's

TO $4,000 a year. Capt Harrison is
a clever and capable gentleman, and
is entitled to all he can get, but
there are those who will think that

THE NEXT MOVE.

1t is stated in the dispatches that
former Railroad Commissioner Nc
Tendon intends to appeal to the
courts to reinstate him in the posi-
ton from which he was removed, and
that he has asked the state treasurer
for his salary during the time of his
suspension as his first step in the di-
rection of that appeal. The state
treasurer refused Mr.. McLendon's
request, and states that he viii.
be guided in his course by the ad-
vice of the encouragement. The
inference is that if the attorney
general advises against paying Mr..
McLendon the latter will begin pro-
ceedings in the courts, and in that
way get decision as to whether or
not he was legally removed
We have said and still believe that
Mr.. McLendon is the victim of poll
tics, but we don't believe that he
will gain anything by appealing to
the courts. AS far as we are able
to see he is out to stay.
