Ordinary Whitewash.


:, This is made by Stacking about ten
pounds Of quicklime with two gallons
Of water.
The lime is placed in a pail and the
water poured over it, after which the
pail is covered with an old piece of
carpet or cloth and allowed to stand
about an hour.
With an insufficient amount of wa
ter the lime is "scorched'' and not con-
verted into hydrate. On the other
hand, too much water retards the
Stacking by lowering the heat. "Scorch-
ed" lime is generally lumpy and
transparent, hence the use Of the prop
er amount Of water for Stacking and
after addition Of water to bring it to
a brush consistency.

SENATOR STR|Hl|NG is
WORKING FOR THE COLLEGE
LAWMAkER FROM LOWNDES
DEVOTES LABOR LARGELY
TO INTEREST OF II. &C.

Hon. g'14. 7. STRIKING. tic popu-
lar and efficient representative
from Lowndes county in the State
Senate, spent Monday in Columbus
as a member of the senatorial com
mittee sent here to inspect the In
dustrial Institute and College, and
was most cordially greeted by his
numerous friends and admirers.
Senator Stribling stated to the
Commercial while here that much of
his time at Jackson had been con-
sumed in looking after the interests
Of the college. 81 realize said he,
that the people of Columbus and
Lowndes county are more vitally in
terested in legislation regarding this
splendid institution than in any other
matter that is likely to come up for
consideration in the Senate, and in
tend to use my best efforts to secure
an appropriation sufficient to amply
cover not only the fiscal expendi-
lures for support and maintenance
but to provide needed improve
ments."
When asked concerning the criti-
cism made in various quarters be-
cause the House and Senate had
passed such small number of bills,
Senator Stribling said he considered
this criticism undeseryed and un-
timely. Constructive legislation"
said he, SIS necessarily slow process
and many important bills are now in
the hands of committees, the num-
bers of hich have been displayed in
reporting on them through their
determination not to recommend
the adoption of any measure until
thoroughly convinced Of its merit.
Right along this line," continued the
Senator, Il can give you a specific
instance of where, at least one in
iquitous bill was killed by commit
tee of which am a member. This bill
had it been passed, would have nulli-
fled the best features of the deposit
tors guaranty law which was adopt
ed at the last session Of the legisla-
ture, and which l consider one of
the best laws upon our statute books,
as it has the effect Of protecting cit
liens of moderate means against un-
scroupulous financiers 1t is, perhaps,
needless TO state that the bill was ad-
versely reported
Senator Stribbling is a potential
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, and while his friends are urging
hm to make the race he has as yet
made no definite announcement re-
garding the matter.
