We have been requested to publish , the law as applies to road obstruction in this State. Following is the law: Section 453 of the revised statutes says: 4'If any person shall wilfully destroy, injure or in any manner hurt, damage, impair or obstruct any of the nnKlin V>ir?Vitttottu at. nmr riorf. t.Vioronf puunu mgunajtoj ui ouij uiu vtiwvwij or any bridge, culvert, drain, ditch, causeway, embankment, wall tollgate, toll-house or other erection belonging thereto, or any part thereof, the person so offending shall upon convictton thereof be imprisoned not 2 more than six months or pay a fine m not exceeding five hundred dollars, or i both, at the discretion of the Court, and shall be further liable to pay all expenses of repairing the same." The supreme court of this State in the case of State vs. Sarter, 2 Strob., 60, held: "A road which has been in general use by all persons, for public purposes, for an uninterrupted period of 20 years or more, is a highway, for obstructing which an indictment will lie." , ?. * The J.

ALL DRUGGISTS; 5 0000000000000 "Want Mills to Shut Down. At a meeting of the executive committee of the North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers held in Charlotte, on Saturday it was recommended that the mills embraced in the association as well as other southern mills shut down for sixty days. The decision was reached after a thorough discussion of existing conditions in the southern states and aceute depression in the price of yarns. Strong resolutions to this end were unanimously adopted. The meeting, which was presided over by R. M. Miller, Jr., ex-officio chairman of the committee, was enthusiastic and representative. The meeting of the Southern Cotton Spinners' association called to consider the matter of curtailment will assemble in Charlotte April 17, and it is expected that the southern mills will taii in line wun tne mius or jNortn Carolina. Letter to G-. A. Derrick, Lexington, S. C. Dear Sir: The wear of paint goes by gallons; the less-gallons paint wears longest. The reason, of course, is its strength. It takes less gallons, because it is strong; it wears a long time, because it is strong. It is allpaint and the strongest paint. There is a best paint among allpaint paints. Xo two are alike, of course; no two cover alike or wear alike. One is thin, another is thick; one has too much lead, another too much zinc, another is right. The right is Devoe, so far as is yet known. Perhaps somebody-else will lind out a better paint than Devoe; then Devoe will become a more-gallons paint, a costlier paint, a weaker paint, a less-durable paint, a less-economical paint, a timid paint. Bigger changes than that have come over the world. Devoe has the lead; why shouldn't we lose it to somebodyelse? Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. The Ifcaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. Young Man Beaten to Death. / John Day, a young white man, of Meig9, Ga., the only dependence of a widowed mother, is reported to have been literally beaten to aeatn on Saturday by the owner of a dog which Day killed while it was, wonying a sheep.

While in Columbia last week the editor of The Dispatch' visited the furniture store and undertaking parlors of VanMetre. It is more than worth the while to go through these handsome apartments. The undertaking parlors are, perhaps, the finest in the State. In a very short time these parlors can be turned into a hall for the purpose of holding funerals, and when you go to Columbia visit ' VanMetre's, whether you want to buy or not. Woman Uses Horsewhip.
