Good Baads Around Swansea. ' It is refreshing to note the improyementjthat is being made in- the roads . around Swansea. For several weeks the chaingang has been located in that . section with a large force of hands and has been doing mo9t effective work. In addition to the force of the gang the people of the community have turned out with wagons, mules, etc., * and have been assisting them in the j wora. i Capt. P. J. Mack, who was here attending a meeting of the board of f county commissioners on Monday in- ^ formed us that the road leading out ^ from Swansea to Dr. x7, T. Browker's place has already been clayed, and that the work will continue to the Cal- ^ houn county line. 1 The people of Swansea are to be congratulated. There is no other way to secure good roads than by assisting the j chaingang. The roads around Swan- : sea are among the sandiest in the county, and it is hoped that the work { I will be continued until every road in j that section is put in first class condi- j tion. The chaingang has about 28 hands i now on the force. * J To ICake The State Dry. J - Spartanburg, Sept. 2.?At a meeting < of the Anti-Saloon League of South Carolina held in the office of Rev. J. \ . L. Harly. state superintendent of the organization, it was announced that < a fight forstate-wide prohibition would j be made at the next session of the j legislature. ( It was also decided to form a union < with) Christian temperance workers ] ahd publish a paper to be known as ( The South Carolina Voice. The meeting was held last Monday j though nothing was given out for publication until today. State Senator j Carlilse attended the meeting was and 2 selected by the prohibitionists to lead ] the fight in the general assembly for state wide prohibition. ( This resolution was adopted: 4'Be it resolved that a state wide prohibition law should be enacted at the next session of the general assembly and such law should provide ?] for its strict enforcement." Rev. J. L. Harley will be the editor < of the Voice and Miss Emma Gary will be associate editor. The paper will j stand for temperance and state-wide g prohibition. The paper will be published in Spartanburg semi-monthly. < Letter to George D. Hayes. \ Dear Sir: The maker, who puts 2 or 3 lbs of whiting barytes or clay in a ^ gallon of paint, saves ?1.50 or ?2.25 for 1 himself and makes you overpay $25 on c a $50 job. * It takes 15 gallons of his weak paint a ?it is weak from that adulteration .and probably weak from benzine or I water besides?it takes 15 gallons of f that poor stuff to cover a 10-gallon job Devoe; it may take 20. Here's a 9 case: 1 Judge ID Fairchild owns two houses 1 exactly alike, in Lufkin, Texas. J M i Torrence painted both houses, one Devoe, 15>? gallons; the other with 1 another paint sold at same price; 25 ? gallons. That 25 gallon paint is weak t and 15 per cent whiting; that's why it took 9}'s gallons more. 1 It costs $2 to $4 a gallon to paint c any paint, whether good or not. Add ] this to the price, and the cost of your ] job is $5 a gallon: 175 or $100 for ] trash; Devoe -$50. Paint that takes more gallons may 3 or may not be adulterated; there are ] 8 pure paints and 200 adulterated; : Devoe is the strongest of all; it takes least gallons, makes the least bill, and j wears longest, of all." You can overpay irom iu to izu per cent; and the more you pay, the worse , your job. In paint, the rule is least . gallons, least cost, longest wear. Yours truly 91 F. W. DEVOE & CO P. S. The Kaufmann drug Co. Sells our paint. The Grand. M Large and enthusiastic audiences , greet the performers at The Grand theatre every afternoon and night. This popular theatre is giving the people of Columbia the be9t line of attractions ever seen in the city, and everybody i9 singing the Grand's praises. - Billy Felis's Letter.
