BUSINESS GETTING BETTER
Says Jim Menefee, Who Tells Of Its
Effects on Paint Trade

James T. Menefee son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John n. Menefee, is here this
week, visiting the home folks and in
cidentally selling and talking Forest
City Paint for which he recently ac-
cepted the agency and which he has
put on the paint map in this part of
the country. In speaking to the |. j.
about business conditions and especi-
ally as they affect the paint industry,
ne said:
The weather has been ideal for all
outdoor work and judging from the
great activity on the farms there will
doubtless be another bumper crop
this fall to export to our neighbors
across the sea who are spending their
money, time and energy in an at
tempt to annihilate one another. Bust
ness conditions all over the south are
improving daily in every line. There
has been "a wonderful improvement in
the coal, cotton and hard lumber mar
kets during the past thirty days. Col
lections are much easier, thanks TO
the splendid new currency law.
MANY new enterprises are being
launched and naturally new buildings
are a necessity, and right here is
where the paint and varnish man
comes in for his share of the business.
An improved paint and varnish trade
is one of the surest signs in the world
of returning prosperity. To be sure
there is always more or less of fur
ry in our business at this particular
season of the year, but the season
alone is not responsible for the mark
ed improvement in business which has
been so great as to keep the Forest
City Paint and Narnish Company
running night and day for the past
six weeks. One important factor in
the Improvement of our particular
business is that we have been in close
touch with Mr.. Henry Gardner of the
United States Bureau of Industrial
Research, who several years ago was
commissioned by the government to
make an extensive study of the paint
industry. and to shed light upon this
hitherto perpleXing proposition. Mr..
Gardner carried on actual time tests
at numerous points throughout the
country, and when he reported to the
the results of his long
and tedious work, my company al
ways ON the alert and with sincere
desire to give the public the very best
that the market affords in paint and
varniShes, Immediately decided to
Time Test Best Paint on
the same formula that the govern
ment expert found so far superior to
all other paints. In fact we have so
much confidence in this line of goods
that each package bears our qualified
guarantee that this paint will wear
longer and give better results gener-
ally than other paints, or pure white
lead and linseed oil, otherwise we
will furnish without cost sufficient
paint TO repaint buildings. We mean to
live up TO that guarantee if it takes
the roof off the factory, and ! have
today so instructed our hustling local
agent, W. X. Shugars."

NEGRO ESCAPES FROM JAIL
Charley Armstrong Takes Jsiler De-
Borde BY Surprise Saturday

Charley Armstrong West End
negro, who was confined in the Lin
coin county Jail here to await the
action of the grand jury on house
breaking charge, made his escape in
a spectacular way early Saturday
morning as Jailer George DeBorde
unlocked The cages in which the
prisoners are confined at night. Jailer
DeBorde, who was without his pistol.
1t happened, was knocked almost flat
by the negro jumping against the
cage door, just as the jailer turned
the lock. The negro then sprang for
the office door and made his getaway
out of II in a jiffy. Mr.. DeBorde had
quickly recovered himself, although
the negro Knocked the breath out of
him with the heavy door, and threw
the heavy lock at him striking him
on the shoulder. The jailer then ran
for his gun, but the negro made bee
line for Macksviie and did not stop
when Mr.. DeBorde shot over his head
to scare him. The jailer then took up
the pursuit but the prisoner had man
aged to hide in some of the negro
houses in Macksville and no one
would tell on hun. IL Is believed that
by now he has managed to make a
complete getaway for Jim Woods re-
ports having seen negro who re-
sembles Armstrong; description, go
ing west along the railroad later that
day. Armstrong is big, copper-col-
ored negro, weighing about 1870
pounds, of powerful build. He had
never given any trouble before, and
Jailer DeBorde, who is making
splendid official in every way, and
has always handled his men without
the slightest trouble and without re-
sort to force was not looking for any
such attempt and just happened not
to have his pistol with him that morn
ing when he went to unlock the cages.
He has offered S25 reward for the
capture of Armstrong and his return
to Jail here and it is believed that
with such an incentive in sight some
one will turn him" up very soon.

CLARENCE COLEMAN PROMOTED
Former Casey Boy Appointed POST
office Inspector For Uncle Sam

The l. Us long time friend and for
mer correspondent at Middleburg,
Clarence Coleman has just received
a most deserved promotion in Uncle
Sans postoffice service. The Union
Postal Clerk, the official organ of the
postal clerks has the following letter
from Louisville which tells the story.
and his many friends around this
section will extend heartiest congrat-
ulations: -
At the last meeting of Branch No
this local lost one of the most eff
cient clerks in the Louisville office
and the best secretary Louisville Lo-
cal ever had, owing. to the appoint
ment of Bro. Clarence Coleman to
Post Office Inspector in the st. Paul
Division, which includes Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota.
Mr.. Coleman was the second men,
Der of this branch appointed as Post
office Inspector. The first appointee
was Mr.. Vincent Burke, who received
his appointment about year ago.
Thus the Local has lost two valuable
members, who will certainly be miss
ed in the office as well as in the Lo-
cal
Mr. Coleman entered the service at
the Louisville Post Office eight years
ago. worked as separator and dis
tributor in the Mailing Division and
was one of the first to be in charge
of the Parcel Post Department when
that branch of the service was inaug-
urated. During the past eighteen
months he was employed in the capac-
ity of Superintendent of Second
Glass Mails. He joined this Local i'm
mediately after entering the service
and has always been a loyal and very
active member of Branch No. a. He
was secretary for the past five years,
was thrice elected delegate to the
United Trades and Labor Assembly,
and received nominations for various
other offices during his activity in
the Local. When the writer acted in
the capacity of State Organizer Mr..
Coleman proved to be of considerable
aid to him.
Clarence Coleman has won a host
of friends in the office owing to his
quiet, unassuming manner and pleas
ing personality. He was constantly
in touch with most of the officers of
the n. F. p. o. c., which was of
course due to his untiring activity and
his long service as secretary of
Branch No. 4. His efforts as CORES
pondentf to the Union Postal Clerk
were of great service to this local and
same were highly appreciated by the
Union Postal Clrek.
