Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sirs: You know how well it
pays to keep your carriages painted,
both for looks and to keep out water.
It pays as well to paint your barn
and your house. We put your barn
first, because that is your business—
your customers see it.
You see, there are two good reas
ons for paint; one is looks; the other
is wear. If you paint for looks, the
wear will take care of itself.
Paint often for looks; and use good
paint for both looks and wear.
The best paint is Devoe lead-and-
zinc ground together by machinery;
same as used by the U S Government.
It takes fewer gallons than mixed
paint and wears twice as long as lead-
and-oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly

Bitters Must Go.
(Carolina Spartan.)
The patent medicines in this State
suposed to contain alcohol are going
to have a hard time of it. In addition
to the order issued by the Internal
Revenue Department, which notifies
all druggists that they must close out
all stock by December 1st or pay a
license, Chief Constable Hammett has
issued an order to all constables giv
ing a list of medicines that can only
he sold by prescription. Some time
ago Mr. Hammett had State Chemist
Burney analyze a number of brands
and the following was the result of
the investigation:
Per cent
Name Alcohol.
Hostetter’s Bitters 82.60
DeWitt Stomach Bitters .. 65.20
Peruna 32.00
Cuban Gingeric 61.10
As a result a circular has been sent
to all constables stating that these
medicines must not be sold as a bev
erage and only by prescription. The
order wiM create a sensation amonK
a number of druggists and may result
in many of them going out of the pa
tent medicine business altogether.
Resentment bears heavy fruitage of
regret.

WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
[Address communications for this col
umn to P. O. Box 304.1
Things are interesting in the fash
ion world just now. Reports from
fashion centers are contradictory and
the variety is puzzling. As a matter
of fact only the autumn street frock
calls for consideration so early in the
season, and a majority of women will
wait until the season’s modes have
settled into deeper, more pronounced
channels before investing heavily in
winter clothes.
Nine frocks out of ten, whether in
tended for morning, afternoon or eve
ning wear, show at least a touch of
velvet, and the result is usually a
happy oue. As for whole gowns anu
costumes of velvet and coats of vel
vet. they are, it seems to be legion.
Ribbed silk velvet or silk corduroy
is also offered in all the new colorings
and is considered very chic for street
costumes.
A velvet collar is a foregone con
clusion upon almost every coat, what
ever be the general material of the
coat. The bolero has two buttons
covered with velvet.

BANNER SALVE
the most healing salve in the world.
Is it Right?
Is it right that a property-owner
should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents
more on fourteen gallons of ready-
for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L.
& M. paint and six gallons of linseed
oil, which makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint in the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property-owner loses
just $4.20. Is It right?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. &
M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint
a moderate sized house.

graded school.”
The school is in excellent condition
at present; the lower classes are full
and the higher ones are fast coming
in.

ing letter—
“ The health of the poor of a large city
is always a question of vital interest,

satisfaction to me to find that so large a

circumstances have accepted Peruna as
