Raleigh, Jan. 26.-Introduction of
nearly half score of local bills ex-
empting specific counties from the
absentee ballot laws is being taken
as a strong indication of the direc-
ton in which the election reform
winds are blowing.
When representatives of such coun-
ties are Polk, Catawba Madison and
Swain-all in the West and all heavy

"out", political gossips and observers
feel that it's something of an omen
like rats deserving a sinking ship.
With the present exemptions and
those likely to be obtained this term,
almost half the State will be without
the absentee ballot, even though no
Statewide repeal is accomplished.

Next time you are wandering

suming that you do reach that con.

ably be one Of resignation because
OF the great trouble and expense

These days, however, the business
Of painting walls has been reduced
to mere childs play, and We don't
mean scribbling with old lead pen
ellis. In the first place the terrific
amount Of upset which was caused
by the slow drying paints Of the
past has been almost completely
eliminated. A new wall paint which
is now available dries In an hours
time, and instead Of your having to
pile furniture and objets dart in
the middle Of a room for an inded-

Then again in the old days 1t was
necessary for the occupants of a

we believe this Is the primary reason
for the neglected condition of so
many walls, because after all no
man wants to come home at night
and have to live through . siege OF
smarting eyes and irritated nostrils.
This new paint has only q pleasant
