was an old one and might
have had gasoline or some inflammable

Police Ollicer .1 R Jenkins says
that one of the most pitiable and
honid sights he has ever witness
ed was Sunday afternoon when ho
found Dock Knight, a middle
aged white man, and two of his
children dead drunk on the outskirts
of the city near the C & W
C road.
One of the boys, it is said, is
about twelve years old and the
other nine. A'hen found by the
policeman the youngest boy was
lying across the railroad track in
almost a nude condition and paralyzed
with drink. The other ,
boy's clothes were simply a few
rags tocked together and ho was,
when found, totally unconscious
and unable to move.
The faiher of the two boys was
in such a condition that the oflieer
had to have assistance to put him
into the wagon. The three were
brought to the station house in a
"Black Maria," where the father
was placed in a cell. The two
boys were taken to their home
and their weeping and brokenhpiirlrd

Letter to Mrs W. \V Perry, Lancaster,
S. C
Dear Madam: ? We feel certain
that you will agree with us when
who say that the real cheapness is
not in the first cost, but in the
ratio of cost to service. There's
an expert diamond setter that gets
$.r)0 a day and his employers declare
ho is the cheapest man they've
got.
First cost for L. & M. Paint is
more than dealers ask for benzine,
barvtes, thin paint, but when you
have had your painter add a large
quantity of linseed oil to the paint,
the actual cost is lower thun the
