NEWSAND HERALD1 WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY TEBMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,......... ...................$1.50 Six Months.......................... .75 Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1906. School has opened. Was your boy there on the opening day? If not, why not? If Tillman can get comfort out fo the results of the primaries in South Carolina, the getting o f blood out of a turnip ought to be an easy task. Ansel and Lyon were the win ners last Tuesday and there is rejoicing from the mountains to the seaboard for this manifesta tion against the further dominion of the G. M. I. Greenwood, too, goes against the bucket shops. Let other towns follow suit and it will not be long till these gambling in stitutions will be legislated out of South Carolina, as has been done in North Carolina a n d Georgia. Fairfield Cotton Mills, 60 for Ansel and 22 for Manning. And thi- despite the 11th hour move to catch the mill vote and the un tiring work of some local poli ticians, who have been flattering themselves with carrying certain votes in their pockets. May be now that the prirharies are over and the dispensary question is settled so satisfacto rily to both sides, there may be an opportunity for South Uaro lina legilators to give a little tirae to the consideration of measures that will make for the education al betterment of the masses. Of course the governor and the attorney general do not make the laws, and the election of Ansel and Lyon does not of necessity mean the doom of the dispensary. But then from the way the dis pensary papers are worrying over the situation they must see the handwriting on the wall. Be it known and read of all men that the Fairfield delegation in the general assembly is heart and soul and body for the state dispensary and that they a r e glorying in their shame. Any attempt to place any one or all of them in the anti-dispensary column is nothing less t h a n criminal. The papers are having some very kind things to say of the manly character of J. Fraser Lyon, recently nominated attorney gen eral. There are none to whom his strength of character is better known than to his old college mates. With one accord they have testified to this throughout the campaign without regard to their convictions on the dividing issue. The cattle ticks are destroy. ing thousands and thousands of dollars worth of cattle in South Carolina each year. There is a concerted movement on the part of the representatives of various stock association to secure cer tain legislation with a view to lessening the work of this great pest that plays such hovic with an industry of unlimited possi Sbilities in this section. It re mains to be seen whether the SSouth Carolina legislators will take action against the tick or will ~give it the same favorable consideration as has always been ?shown the yaller dog. Court Proceedings. The court of general sessions convened Monday with his Honor Judge Prince presiding and with Solicitor Henry and Stenographer McCaw in their places.

D. 3 Walker & Co. FAIRFIELD GOES WiTH MAJORJT In Electipg Ansel Governor and Lyo Attorney General. The official county of Fairfield vote made put little variation i: the figures as published last weeli The county went for Ansel an< Lyon as did tne majority of th counties of the State. The vot was as follows:Ansel 478, Mannin 423, Lyon 471, Ragstale 436, Snl livan 571, Wharton 331. I: was hardly expected tha Fairfield would vote for these win ners, and had the vote been large it perhaps might have been other wise. However, it is a matter c sincere gratitude that Fairfiel< helped to pile up the majority fo Ansel and for Lyon. Letter to J. P. Caldwell. Winnsboro, S. C.

Cotton cloth-they call it muns lin in some parts-at about thi usual price per yard, but wider twice as wide as some, and better wears better, keeps white an whole a surprising time in a' sorts of wear. You could sell that cloth fo hundreds of miles; there'd be ni limit. A yard goes further; one buy: less yards. Wears longer; oni buys less often. It always look: right till well worn-out. No on, customer buys so much of it, bu think of the anrmber of customers May be you can't get it is cloth: but you can in paint Devoe. Devoe is as if it wert wider: a gallon~jgoes further; yoi buy less gallons; you pay for les gallons; you pay for painting les: gallons-as if one paid less fo: making a garment of that wide cloth-and it keeps its fresh lool and sheds water till you have forgotten how old it is. It isn't true in cloth, but it is in paint: the less you pay, the better it is; for the goodness of paint is reckoned by gallons; less gallons, more goodness. Good ess in paint is strength.
