Mr. MoMullin, late oashier of Patapsoo National Bank, of BUioott City, Md., painted his house-Devoo-in 1885. It wore 17 years at a cost of less than $10 a year. Harold Hardinge, the present oashier, painted his house-three coats lead-and oil-it wore ?ix years, at a cost of $22 a year. He then repainted Devoo ; said he wanted the paint that oost least by the year. This is important ; such comparisons are extremely rare. We know the gene ral fact, however. The paint that goes farthest, wears longest; always. Yours truly, 90 F. W. Devoo & Co. P. S.- J. W. Bell, Walhalla; Seneoa Mercantile Co., Seneca, and Matheson Hardware Co., Westminster, sell our paint. - Will the State Los? the Stolen Money? Columbia, May 4.-It seems al most certain now that the State won't get the $16,000 stolen from the State Treasurer's office in bonds without a suit. Treasurer Jennings claims that the stealing occurred in the administrations of Treasurers Timmerman and Bates as well as in his own, and that he is responsible for only about $1,000 of the amount, if anything. Dr. Timmerman, on the other hand, has indioated that he will pay nothing unless compelled by the courts to do so, and Dr. Bates is also in the position of the Missourian. The result is that nobody seems willing to pay anything. Governor Heyward brought mat ters to a head to-day by a letter he sent to Capt. Jennings demanding prompt information as to what steps, if any, had been taken to reimburse the State for the loss. Capt. Jen nings replied that he was -negotiat ing with a looal bank to put up a bond for $1,000 to oover his liability until the matter is finally deter mined, but that he could not speak for the others. These two lettors will bo turned over to the Attorney General for advice as to what step should bo taken next. A Large Piece of Ice. The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which (ills up nearly tho whole of the interior of Greenland, whore it has accumu lated since before the dawn of his tory, says the Chicago Journal. It is believed to now form a block of about 600,000 square miles in area and averaging a mile and a half in thickness. According to those sta tististics the lump of ico is larger in volume than tho whole body of water in the Mediterranean, and there is enough of it to cover the wholo United Kingdom of Great B. itain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. If it were cut into convenient slabs ami built up equally upon tho entire surface of Wales it would form a pile more than 1*20 miles high. There is ico enough in Groenland to bury the entire area of tho United States a quarter of a milo deep. Important Meeting. Soneca, S. C., April 30, 1000.-Koowoe Courier: Please publish that there will bo a mooting, May 12th, at 2 o'clock, at Bounty Land school house to considor whothor wo will voto off the extra tax. J. J. Davis, Bounty Land Trustee. Dairy Bill Passed The dairy bill of Congressman Lever has passed the House. It carries an appropriation of $20,000. This money is intended to defray the expenses of a number of dairy experts who will work in co-opera tion with State experiment stations and with individual darymen. The passage of this bill means muoh to the South. This State will profit immensely by it. Congress man Lever is being congratulated upon the success of the measure. He deserves to be praised. The bill has in it the possibility of the crea tion of a new industry at the South and the saving to tho Southern peo ple of an enormous drain upon their resources. The dairying business is an immenso one. The total value of the dairy products of the United States was over $600,000,000 six years ago. lt is greater to-day. It is one of the leading industries of the country and has made the central and northwestern States immensely rioh. But the South has not profited by the experience of others in this par ticular. This section not only does not cultivate the dairy industry, but it actually fails to supply the needs of its own markets, and compara tively few make enough butter and cheese to supply their own private tables. The South spends annually for butter and cheese alone the tre mendous sum of $38,000,000. These products could easily be raised at home. Mr. Lever is working in the right direotion.-Greenville News. Chicora College. The transfer of Chioora College, of Greenville, from private bands to the Presbyterian denomination is a matter of very ? general interest throughout the State. Dr. Preston has made a success of the institution, and under Presbyterial control it doubtless will be made an extremely flourishing school. Dr. S. C. Byrd, of Winnsboro, has been chosen as president of the college. He has ample qualifications to assume the important duties to which he has been called, and with the co-opera tion of Mrs. Byrd, his wife, who has had valuable experience in the kind of work that she will find at Chicora, the college will take front rank among the female institutions of lea ning in South Carolina. Green ville is an ideal college town and it is fortunate in having so many ex cellent institutions located here. The brightest and moBt useful days of Chicora are still ahead of it. Greenville News. The Soulhern Methodist Conference.
