A BIC TEMPEST IN A UTTLE TEAPOT CITT OPERA HOUSE SAFE. After a Thorough Inspection, City Council Pronounces City Opera House Safe. For the past week or two reports have been In circulation all over town that the city Opera House (town hall) was liable to collapse at any moment, having been blown out of plumb by the little cyclone that passed over the southeastern portion of the town on the 15th day of March. The facts are that this little cyclone did not even enter the town proper, coming no way near the Opera House, but the reports were gaining such momentum and so many of our ni?nnlA wrtrp naVInc nimntlftm that the matter was brought to the attention of the Mayor, who said that in his opinion, the reports were false and that he believed the building was perfectly safe. This did not seem to satisfy some of the people and in view of the fact that it was intended to hold the closing exercises of the Cheraw graded school in the building* and that on such occasion the building is always filled to its utmost capacity, Mr. R. T. Caston, chairman of the board of trustees, in behalf of the scholars and all others interested, thought it best to bring the matter to a focus, therefore he has addressed the following letter to the town council: May 22nd, 1912. To the Honorable Town Council of the Town of Cheraw. Gentleman: As Chairman of Board of School Trustees, I have been told toy reliab|e persona, theft some of the citizens of the town think the Town Hall unsafe, ,and as the school to hgld, nnhiif "utrnaing on \the 30th instant, please let me know if this building Is considered safe for the purpose in. V dicated. Very respectfully, R. F. CASTON, Chairman of School Board. On receipt of this letter the Mayor called the council together and steps were taken to thoroughly examine the hall. After a thorough examination the clerk of council was directed to make reply to Mr. Casfon as follows: ? of the surprises of the pre-convention May 23rd, 1912. Mr. R. T. Caston, Chairman of School Board, Cheraw, S. C. Dear Sir: ^ Replying to your letter of the 22nd. Instant, addressed to the Mayor and Town Council of Cheraw in regard to the safety of the Town Hall, I have been directed to say to you that after meeting the Mayor and Council and discussing the subject they have pronounced the hall entirely safe for the purpose for which the school wishes to use same. Yours very truly, D. L. TILLMAN, 'Clerk. The worst mistake one is likely to make in painting is wrong oa'.nt; it is easy to make this year when paint is sp high. We all say "Ours is the hop*' ? n?wi there are 1,000 of us. One Is best; but a dozen arc so near on a level that no one knows, for sure, that his is the one. The worst paints are worst liars; they know what they are, put-on a hold face, and brazen It out. Their one true argument Is low price; but low-price paint is always, . must be, a fraud; it is made to cheat cheatable people. . DEVOE. Ladd's Drug Store sells it. ???????? Notice to Taj Biyen. .
