Letter to J. 7. Thompson.
Farmville, Va.

Dear Sir: North Dakota has pure
paint law and is branding the paint
manufacturers. Here's how one Of 'em
gets the hot iron.
Almost half of his "oiln is benzine
and wafer; more than half Of his pig
ments" don't dry-out' and perhaps
they don't do much harm?
BenZine and water dry-Out I'm few
minutes and hours; they don { do any
harm. Those pigments" don't dry
out; and perhaps they don't do much
harm2
Is that what paint is for; not to do
much harm? Do you pay s. gallon
for paint and putting II on, not to do
much harm ?
The lead, zinc and oil in that 'paint"
is a little less than half and the trash
is a little more than half.
How many gallons, half trash and
half paint, will it take to pant lO-
gallon job two coats? how many coats,
half trash and half paint, will 1t take
to cover? and what'll become OF those
pigments not paint?
And reckon the costs; you can rough
ly Half trash, 20 gallons, s. "a gallon,
500; 10 gallons Devoe, $50. a gallon
of trash or paint put-on is 80.
There's one Devoe; there are 5 pure
paints: and over 200 adulterated and
100 short measure,
Yours truly

Mr.. LEES SCALP
Many of the Commercial Organic
tious of the State are Fighting
Proposed Change in Cotton
Rate Schedule.

JACKSON, Miss. August 24.-Cun-
missioner w. z. Scott, of the Missis-
sippe railroad commission, has given
his endorsement to the proposed new
cotton rate schedule framed by Com
missioner Lee, which has raised such
O. storm of protest from the CONNER
cial organizations of the state, and
during the past week he has been en-
deavoring to explain to the CONNER
cial organizations that the schedule
is not inimicable to their interests.
With this end in view COMMISSIONER
Scott attended a meeting of tue Green
wood Business League last week and
discussed the cotton rate schedule with
them, contenaing that the proposed
changes will not involve the local
rates, and will give Greenwood cheap
er local rates.
1t seems, however, that Commits
sioner SCOTS explanation didn't eX-
plain, insofar as the business men OF
! Greenwood are COllOSUnSu, duu Il uSiS
CATION of members will be sent To
Jackson on Sept 7th to attend the
semi-monthly meeting and protest
against the adoption OF the schedule.
In practically all of the interior
towns where the business men have
given consideration to the subject
Commissioner Lees plan for solution
of the cotton rate problem is strongly
opposed, chiefly on the ground that il
is wholly in favor of river towns ane
will rob them of the handling of MACY
thousands of bales of Gotten each year
A general awakening to the import
ance of the question is being manifest
ed over the state, and the delegation'
that will be sent to the Septemh3
meeting will be so numerous thar I
will be necessary to hold the session
in the hall of the house of represen
tatives instead of the commission
chambers.
