Republicans viii Not Do II.

Some of the Republican candidates are
making appeals for Democrats to vote
for them. A gentlemen told US of such
case this week and how he opened the
Democrats eyes. The Democrat in
question said that the Republican can
didate was right good kind of fellow
and he thought he would vote for him.
"But, said the other Democrat, would
he vote for you if you were a candi-
date 2" NO." was the reply, 81 don't
believe he would, and as never thought
of it that way, dang if am going to
vote for him, either" You don't catch
the Republicans voting for Democrats,
even If they are angels 1t is against
their principles and they liveup to their
faith in the Republican party. Now,
Democrats. let them know that you
cannot go with them into their PARTY or
vote for candidate that l,as pledged
his support to the cause of the ignorant
negro.

Letter to VIM. r. johnson
Snow Hill

Dear Sir Here's mail-order paint
there are several such-45 per cent of
its solid part is barytes and whiting, and
35 per cent of its oil is benzine and
water the rest is zinc lead and oil.
Barytes whiting benzine and water
have nothing to do with paint, except to
make more gallons for victims to buy at
SIS gallons put-on.
$5 gallon put-on will buy the best
paint there is in the world: here's a
paint, about neither pigment nor oil, i'm
posed on the unsuspecting.
What is the remedy? What is the
victim to do? Do you favor a pure-paint
law in your State?
North Dakota has lately passed such
law it is worth. we presume, $5 a
year to the average man. What is
wanted, of course, is of such strength
that 10 gallons will do a 10-gallon job
and wear long time. Devoe is that
paint. Should counterfeits be put-down
by law?
Yours truly,
