The black stove in the kitchen is the

It be the most necessary. The manner
in which It can be trausforned In

The paint will not become daily discoi-
ored like stove polish does. but Will look
bright for years, except where the nre

as often as necessary, and much more
quickly than similar discolorations on

Where there is an undercoating OF stove
polish on the stove there is apt to be a
little smoke from the paint, but that

The paint will keep it's color on latrobes

they do not look or keep their color as

NEW ORLEANS, March 16.-Very
poor cables and uncertainty over po-

a selling wave in cotton today, which
sent prices down for a decline of 10 to

ALL VOTED DRY.
South Carolina Delegation Voted for
Reed Amendment.

Washington, Feb. 21.-All of the
South Carolina delegation voted to-
day in favor of the amendment in
serted in the postofice appropria-
ton bill by Senator Reed, of Missou-
ri, prohibiting the importation of al
coholic liquor except for medicinal,
scientific, sacramental or mechanical
purposes into any State which has
prohibited the manufacture or sale
of liquor within its own borders. This
will simply reinforce the South Caro-
lima law which has just been passed
by the legislature, but after July l,
next, it will nullify the North Caro-
lima and Virginia statutes permitting
the importation of limited quantities
of liquor each month for personal
use. the delegations from such States
as the latter underwent much tor
ture today in deciding where they
stood. AS rule their delegation
voted heavily for the amendment
but with faces awry.
Many of the "wets' believe the
adoption of the amendment will re-
tard the progress of nationwide pro-
hibition by bringing a reaction. The
wiser view perhaps, is the vote shows
the rapid growth of the bone dry
sentiment in the country at large.
From the latter point of view if the
purpose of the amendment was to
throw a monkey wrench into the
prohibition machinery the manoeuver
was decided failure.
The Reed amendment has very
sharp teeth in the shape of fine of
$1,000 for each violation.

Columbia, Feb. 21.-The first ses-
sion of the seventy-second genera!
assembly came to an end this after
noon, three days beyond the usual
forty days. The end was peaceful,
all differences between the senate
and house having been smoothed out.
The senate adjourned sine die at
J:15 o'clock this afternoon and the
house at $40, the motion for final
adjournment in the lower body hav-
ing been made by Chairman Lilies. of
the ways and means committee, after
a message had come from Governor
Manning saying that he had signed
the appropriation and county supply
bills and had no further communica-
ton for them.
When the senate sent over word
this afternoon that they would not
recede from their position on the ap-
preparation bill the house gave up
the fight, feeling that their position
had been made plain, and that the
burden, if any, for the three-million-
dollar appropriation bill and the
s 1-2-mill levy was with the senate.
Accordingly, they adopted the free
conference report on the appropria-
ton bill and made ready for the end.
