Mad at Paint

25c a gallon for paint is about So. SC
on the average job, and lots of men
waited last year for that; but they did
not reckon; they got mad; wouldn't paw
it.
There are times to get mad and re-
fuse to pay; but when ones property
needs protecting is no time to get mad
and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad and
wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good to
your property; paint does it good by
keeping-out water; no water no rot; no
paint, some water and rot; and little
rot is more than enough to make man
liberal toward his painter and paint.

mortgage is Mr.. Parish, who is public
official. The records of Grant parish
show that he is alse amortgage creditor.
/ understand q few days ago, Mr..
Parish was in Colfax and told some of
the lawyers to send him some business,
as things were dull down his way from
a litigious standpoint. Just wait, Judge
Parish, until the old milk COW and the
old work horse are put under the ham,
mer in your court, and, of course, the
costs will accumulate right along. Bust
ness will pick up for you. If were
you l would be in favor of the chattel
mortgage law myself, and it is also
loyalty to rush to rush to the defense
of your employer, Mr.. T. o. Hart; but
your defense Of this law, in the words
of q noted gentleman of my acquain-
lance, is "slimy, skinny and scummy. Z"
Mr.. Parish wants to know who is
going to lay himself liable to criminal
prosecution for trading his mortgaged
property. My answer is that he may
lay himself liable just like every other
man does who violates the law.
/ happened to be in one of the States
where the chattel mortgage had been
a law for some time, and / saw the
sheriff of the county l was in arrest
a man for disposing of chattel mort
gage property, and found out upon in
quiry that it was quite common for the
creditor to arrest the debtor on this
ground In this particular case / learn
ed from the debtor that he had paid
this mortgage, but that his creditor
had failed to. cancel the same. The
creditor claimed that he had not paid,
and the debtor claimed that he had.
Now there was dispute over this debt,
and cannot say who was right. but
the poor debtor landed in Jail. will
call Judge Parish's attention to very
similar case where he had q mortgage
against debtor on the records of this
parish. Judge Parish claimed that this
debt was not paid, and his debtor claim
ed that it had been paid. The fact in
these two cases are the same, except
Judge Parish had mortgage on real
estate, and the case / referred to was
chattel mortgage. OF course, Mr..
Parish was forced to resort to civil
action to adjust his difference with his
debtor; but, if his mortgage had been
chattel one, he could have resorted
to criminal prosecution.
One thing certain, we have the law,
good or bad, and if the people want it
they have got it. II they do not want
it, they can get rid of it. And, if the
masses of the people are satisfied, so
am /. Respectfully, CITIZEN.
