Mr. F. T. Bibb, of Columbia, has
accepted a position as foreman at the
quarry.
; We are glad to see our young friend,
E. J. Lawson, out again, he haying
suffered a painful accident some time
ago. Eddie is a favorite with all.
His fine business qualifications have

The patrons of No. 4 have always
believed in ponnding the carrier at
ChriBtmas and at other times, but it
seems that a rivalry existed among
them this year, as to the one- that
would give the most. Gee! What a
load of cakes, chicken, turkey, 'ham,'
fruits and candy they gave me. A
very pleasant pounding indeed.
Thanks to you all for your kindness
in remembering me.

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
There are useful and useless gallons.
Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with
dryer and color; useless paint is whiting,
china-clay, ground stone, barytes,
benzine, or water.
This stuff is pnt-in, because it isi
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make
more gallons to sell; of course, the
buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't
buy it.
It costs as much to brush-on this
useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but
it looks like that and feels like that
V. ' I
in the brush; the painter doesn't suspect
it. Besides, if the owner is willing,
why should the painter object to
painting two gallons for one? He is
paid by the day; more gallons; more
days,5 more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one-third this useless stuff; and average
paint at $1.25 or fl.50 or $1.75 a
gallon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint
is the pft>ptfr name for all but pure
paint; it is made to fool people witn.
Knave paint is another good name; it
is made, of course, by knaves. Sick
paint is a name for an honest weak
paint. They are all weak and all extravagant:
too many gallons to buy
and too many gallons to brush-on.
Devoe is the standard. 4
< P. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S. The Kaufmann Drag Co. sells
oar paint.
Death of Little Zaa Drafts.
One of the most beautiful pictures
that has presented itself to my observation
is a child in death. Its rigid
limbs composed in lines of regular;
form, its body reposing upon the slab,
quiet and motionless, its sweet little
face, as on sleep?not a twitch, not a
tremor, not a quiver?all placid, all
.serene, all majesty of beauty, -clothed
as its little frail, stiffened body in
Wreaths of immortelles, its features'
clothed in childish angelic smiles.
There is the sad side yet to come?
the grief-stricken parents deep in
their souls weeping for the one that
is not on times side, lamenting as
none but a mother can, for the sweet
prattle of her babe?lost in the cav
ems of tne deep sleep tnat faiietn on
her habe in its casket.
Mr. and Mrs. Dar?y Drafts, whose
little Ina was consigned to ijs last
resting place in Pilgrim cemetery on
Sunday, 5th instant, have the sympathy
of the entire community in
their bereavement. Rev. J. A. Cromer

Young L&dy Bisuppoars.
Last Sunday aweek Miss Sallie
Shannon, one of the most beautiful
and highly respected young ladies of
New Brookland and a teacher in the
Lutheran Sunday School, disappeared
from her home and has not been
seen since, although every effort has
been put forth by her distracted
parents and friends to find her whereabouts.
She left immediately after
having quarreled with her sweetheart,
to whom she was to have been .married
in a very short time, and went
toward the Congaree bridge. This
was the last seen of her and it is believed
by many that she committed
suicide by jumping from the bridge
into the turbulent waters below.
Several theories have been suggested,
but from the facts gathered the young
lady has undoubtedly killed herself,
and the probability is that she will
never be seen again until the waters
Shall have given up their dead.
The young lady's mysterious disappearance
has cast a gloom of sadness
over the entire town.

Raleigh Votes Out Liquor.
Raleigh, N. C., by a majority of
547 has voted out its liquor
dispensary and became a prohibition
city. In the city there were 928 votes |
for prohibition, 381 for dispensary and
j two for saloons. Tiie dispensary nas
! been in operation here for four years, i
24 saloons having been voted out in
j favor of the dispensary.
The sales have amounted to about
$250,000 a year, with about $75,000
profit, this being placed to the credit
of the school fund, the road fund and
the city expense account. It reduced
taxation, but the voters here believed
that its influence was not for the city's
best interest and voted it out. The
election wis a quiet one.

' Sow To Tell Good Pork.
The greatest care should be. exercised
in buying pork, whether fresh
or salted, says The Delineator for
January. Pork should be white and
fine grained in the lean; the fat of a
pinkish white and free from kernel*
or specks, the skin thin and the bones
small. When pork is stale ft is not
fit to eat. '
Its quality and digestibility depend
so entirely upon the feeding and the j
keeping of the pig, that it should
never be bought unless from seller*
who can be relied npon. * 1 t
