Ia duration the campaign was unusual. In extent it reached byits efficient meetings every township except one. The weather was suited to the best interest of man and beast, being showery while we were in the sandy country and with few exceptions fair while we were in the clay sections. The crops all ever the county are from good to better. The peGple everywhere met us with pleasant smiles and hearty handshakes. Hos? - * - *. ? ( linmi. ne ?-\n urerv pilttllljr v* no cuu ? u uc w u w ? ?.? j - not grudgingly, but with Christian cheerfulness. The cueist gave us wholesome and well cooked meats, the only defect being that I am so constituted or habituated that I could not eat at every spread. The hurtful attachment of the dance to the speakers time and ground showed up on only a few occasions. To see this disappearing is evidence that our people are respecting the arrangements made by the County Executive Committee for campaign elections. A dance or anything else which distracts the minds of speakers or hearers has no more right at, and en the time of ft campaign meeiing, than at a school room duriog school hours. Association with the large body cf candidates for twenty-seven days kindled feelings of attachment to them which will laBt through the coming years. The only unpleasant task imposed upon me by any ono of them was laid by Senator Sharpe. He, by it, removed himself beyond my help, and has received what hs merited?defeat. With thaDks to the people for their many acts of kindness shown during the campaign, and for the oirrpn rn? on thft SO'.h of August, acd pledging again my best effjrts in hehai? of a higher standard of citizenship, I am yours for service. Joab Edwards. Letts? to D. E. Eallentiae. Lexington, S. C. Dear Sir: Its an old saying: The best advertisement is a pleased customer. It happens to us continually in this way: A man buys Devoe for hi.-, house ?he has painted it once in three years for a dog's-age, and thinks he knows what he wants?buys 30 gallons, and has 10 leftHe sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as much as 30 of anything else; it comes quick: it is a surprise: and he tells of it. The best advertisement is a pleased customer. Three years roll round. There isn't a sign that his house needs paint; he don't paint it. Next year he don't paint it. This comes slow; it is a surprise; but he has got used to it. Still the best advertisement is a pleased customer. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S.
