The grand and glorious Southland has emerged from the Shadow of adversity and la again making for herself the place from which she was dethroned by the misfortunes of the most stupendous contest of modern times. The south before the war held most of the wealth of the Union. Her men were the most chivalrous, her women the most chaste and beautiful, and her religion was the moet exalted of any nation on earth. Her women are still the moat chaste and beautiful, her men are still the most brave and chivalrous and added to this is some what of the Yankee ihrewdness and enterprise which is so characteristic of the people north of the Mason and Dixon line. Our material prosperity haa vastly Improved within the last decade. But in order to place ourselves where we were fifty years ago we must take ad- wantage of the opportunity which is presenting itself to us now. The key to the situation is found in the pro duct of which we of the south have the monopoly. The whole world Is clamoring for cotton and the loudest, most blatant voice that Is heard Is that of the Wall Street gambler. He demands it in large quantities In or der that he may manipulate the price tor the purpose of filling his once plethoric but now depleted purse. Little cares he for the poor fanner who toils day after day trying to make make enough to satisfy the lien whicn hangs over his crop for the supplies which he is forced to purchase, and without which it would be impossible to make it. Little cares be for the overworked and tired mother who, day after day, toils to help the father enough to satisfy the lieu which and to perhaps send them to school tor possibly three months of the year. He cares for none of these things. He is soulesg and heartless, he is dead, utterly dead, to every tender feeling which should animate the heart of every man who is worthy of the name. He ruthlessly and relent lessly trades and traffics in the hearts and soula of the people whom he op presses, and he should be driven out like the Ishmael that he is, and fore- «d V> wander over the face of the earth, shunned by every man and wo man whom he may chance to meet. If every farmer who Is able to do So will hold his cotton off the market In a short time you will see this same Wall Street gambler begging like a whipped and hungry cur to let him have the cotton, not at his price but *jonn. Yon may dictate to this gen the price which he will have pay Instead of letting him fix the v at which you must sell. *d your ootton and make him k *d grovel as he has made you l city years.

Dear Sir: Mrs S C Ashe's house in Yorkville, 8 C, was painted De- voe 21 years ago and hasn’t been painted since; it is a handsome house and the paint was in good condition when we were there three years ago. Do we therefore say that Devoe wears 21 years in South Carolina? No; on the sandy coast, where the sun is hot and the flying sand cuts the bark off trees, Devoe is the only paint that wears more than one year. Iax-alkies differ; Devoe doesn’t dif fer. It is the paint that takes least gallons to cover a Job and makes least cost and wears longest; how long de pends on sun wind sand etc. Yours truly ^ 62 F W DEVOE * CO P. 8.
