DREiOUTFITTERS FOR LEXINGTC Letter tc S. Fr^r.klis. Keishr. , Lexington, S. C. Dear Sir: North Dakota has a pure j paint law and is branding the paint- j manufacturers. Here's how one of j ?em gets the hot iron. j Almost half of his "oil" is benzine j and water; snore thau half of his "pia- | ment" i-* whiting barytes and such. i Benzine an 1 water drjr-out in a few l minutes and hours; they don'c do any j harm. Those "pigments" don't dry "* l. r out; and perhaps they tfontcio mucii \ harm. Is that what paint is for: not to do much harm? Do you pay ?5 a gallon for paint and putting it 011, not to do much harm? The lead zinc and oil in that "paint" is a little less than half and the trash is a little more than half. How many gallons, half trash and half paint, will it Dike to paint a 10 gallon job two coats? how many coats, half trash and half paint, will it take to covers and what'll become of those pigments not paint? And reckon the costs; you can ronghly. Half tra9h, 20 gallons, $5 a gallon, $100; 10 gallons Devoe, $50. A gallon of trash or paint put-on is $5. There's one Devoe; there are 8 pure, paints; and over 200 adulterated and 100 short-measure. Yours truly, i F. \V. DEVOE & CO. P.-S.?The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. TRESPASS NOTICE.

Highest Tribunal Sustains Dispensary \ Commission?AMened Grafters Now Likely to Be Tried. j Washington, April 5.?The su- j preme court today decided the uispen- ! sary case in favor of the State. Tire federal receivers appointed by j Judge Pritchard are removed and the j State dispensary commission is restored to control of the funds of the dispensary. The decision read by Mr. Justice White, reasons that claims against the commission are claims against the State, which cannot oe j prosecuted under the constitution. It is said that the commission will again take up the work where it was left off, and that Attorney General Lyon will now likely bring the alleged grafters to trial. Billy Felis's Lottsr. To the Editor of The Dispatch: With the approach of spring everything appears to take on new life and vigor. The spring poet, the Easter bonnet and the Merry Widow hat will soon be much in evidence. Our farmers are very busy, though somewhat backward owing to the cool, wet months just past. Early corn is up to an excellent stand and is doing well. Wheat and oats are looking splendid and from present indications the yield will be good. As I pen these lines, the air comes to my nasal passages heavy laden with rich perfumes of violets and verbenas; the butterllies are Hitting lazilv about them; on the top of a dis / ? - tant apple tree with the appearance of a bloom here and there is a mocking bird gleefully warbling forth her songs of melody and praise; on a meadow across the way comes the sound of a cow bell as the old family cow with head down eagerly grazing on the rye, all indicating that spring is here once more. A young doctor from our sister town is much in evidence of late, attending his patients, and permit Billy to predict, that from all appearances the Doctor himself is suffering from a cardinal wound inflicted by the lovetipped arrow from the unerring aim of sly little Cupid. I wish you success, Doctor, and bid you God speed, for a "faiqt heart ne'er won a fair lady." Brother farmers, plant an abundance of home supplies and less cotton and we will all fare better next fall and get more money for cotton. There was a double funeral service here recently. The infant of Mrs. Alice Brown died here, and Mrs. R. \Y. Ilutto, of Augusta, whose remains were brought here for burial. Rev. Riddle conducted the services. Mrs. Huttoleaves a husband, four children and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. C. K. Batten, who has been here since last November, has gone to Petersburg, Va., to take a position with his father in the motor car business. Several of our neighbors have been missing corn and peas recently and two negro boys charged with the theft have left for parts unknown. The ladies' aid society will give an egg hunt on Friday afternoon before Easter from 2 to 6 o'clock. Refreshments will be served also. The Rev. Joab Edwards will deliver an address before the ladies' aid society next Saturday afternoon at- three o'clock. On Sunday morning he will preach in the church. The bridge muddle, the county cut off and Senator Crosson ana * untie" are making things interesting now. Go ahead, boys, and in the language of "Old Speck," spread yourselves. Success to all The Dispatch force and its readers, I am, Billy Felix. Gaston, April 5. Eoof's Spring1 Opening. W. P. Roof's grand spring opc ning of fancy millinery and pattern hats, on Monday brought a large number of ladies to town to view the new spring styles. The big store has been humming with eager shoppers. Never before in the history of Lexington has such a wonderful display of hats been shown here. The large show window, with all the latest pattern hats, flowers, fruit, etc., has boon the subject of much comment by all passers by. Miss Brown, the attractive little milliner lias been the recipient of many congratulations upon the excellent showing she has made.
