PAINT AND NOT

Paint was so high the last few
years the market was flooded with
trash.
What is trash?
1t looks like paint and pretends to
be paint, but isn't worth painting. 1t
costs a painters day's-work to put-on
a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a
painters day's-work is So or Sd.
Add that to the price of gallon.
That is the cost of gallon. Devoe is
$5 or Sc a gallon; and trash half
dollar less.
But Devoe is all paint and more
too; you add oil to it; a gallon is 5
or 6 quarts of perfect paint for the
painters pot. But trash is three
quarters two-thirds or half paint;
you pay half-dollar less for nobody
knows -what-it-is.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for the
average job; it takes Is to 20 gallons
Of trash. And the wear same way.
Unfortunately, they look alike when
first put-on.

Baptists Purchase Hospital.

AS announced several weeks ago,
the Baptists of South Carolina have
purchaser from Mrs. Augustus B..
Knowlton, Knowlton's hospital. con-
sisting of two well-equipped buildings
on Marion street. The transfer of
the property will be the beginning of
the hospital work OF the Baptists
The formal announcement was made
last week by the trustees.
The trustees representing the de-
nomination in the state recently pur-
chased the Colonia hotel. The place
will not be used for hospital pur-
poses, it was announced, but will be
continued as a family hotel.
The plans of the Baptists are to
develop in Columbia one of the larg-
est hospitals in this section of the
state and it is believed by those con-
versant with the situation that the
acquisition of the Knowlton hospital
was a long stride in the direction of
making their plans success.-Co-

The sick seem to be improving.
The w. o. w. gave moonlight pic
mic last Saturday night, the 9Th, at
Excelsior school building; it turned
out to be an electric light picnic, as
it was so cloudy-the moon was not
visible. A nice crowd was there and
everyone seemed to enjoy the spread.
The lodge furnished fish stew and
loaf, while the ladies brought we'll
filled baskets.

A Card to Union County Citizens.
To the voters of Union County:

To the voters of Union County:
"My attention has been called to
the fact that an effort is being made
to injure me in my candidacy for the
State senate by circulation of false
report as to why l entered the race.
Some irresponsible and contemplate
fellow has originated the falsehood
that I was induced to offer for the
Senate by the dispensary board, or by
men connected with the dispensary,
and that l have made promises to
these men as to future appointments.
l denOunce this as malicious lie; and
after learning of this statement, any
body who circulates this report is
placed in the same category. shall
appreciate votes from men connected
with the dispensary as well as from
other citizens Of this county, but they
will have to come to me without any
strings or conditions. No man. asso-
ciated with the dispensary has asked
me for promise of appointment, or
anything else, and have not and will
not give one If the members of the
dispensary board or employees sup
port me, it is solely on the ground OF
their regard for my fitness for the
position and not on any promises Of
reward. l have announced on every
stump that I entered the campaign
free from promises and entangle-
ments, and shall close it in the same
independent way. have stated in
every speech that I am in the race for
what am, and that, if cannot WIN
on a manly position like this, am
unfit to represent Union county in
the State senate. That position should
appeal to the manhood of Union coun-
ty. I am confident that I have this
fight won, but in Justice to myself
and supporters the truth should be
known.

Card From Mr.. Young.

In justice to myself and to my
friends I wish to state that l am not
the author or originator of the re:
port Mr.. Hughes denounces as false.
That is that the dispensary board in
duced him to enter the race or that
anyone connected Herewith did it or
that he has promised them or any one
of them his support. wish to state
that | heard the report during the
session of the general assembly and
that the report was in general circu-
lation in Union when l returned home
in March.
That part of his card which states
that eff the members of the dispen-
sary board or employees support me,
it is solely on the ground of their
regard for my fitness for the pos,
ton and not on any promises of re-
ward" may be suspiciously doubted
when it is known that |, as Senator,
the salary of each of the dispensary
board from $500 per day to $500 per
day in 1918, and killed the House
amendment raising their salary From.
$500 per day to $4.00 per day during
the session of 1914. And I did it
TO: what thought was for the bene-
fit of the Union county taxpayer, and
Mr.. Hughes is again in miserable
error when he states, T am conf
dent that have this fight won," if he
has ever labored under such delu-
sion. it has been caused by the pecul-
lar class of fatterers who have sur
rounded him for the past few months.
