Dear Sir: There are thousands of people saying: "That's what I call!'“ a good jol) of paint, it has worn three I years.

There are two reas-1 ons for painting; those.people know only one; they are thinking only of; wear: of keeping out water. Three years may be too long for the looks of paint; It isn’t half long-enough for the wear. If all you want of paint is to keep-out water, Devoe is good for a dozen years in average places. And that isn’t all. The cost of the job is the first thing to thlnk-of, and, if you think of it right, you needn’t bother with wear. The paint that takes least gallons makes the least bill for both paint and painting; people forget the labor bill; it’s the biggest bill in the job. A gal lon saved is about $5. Five gallons saved is $25. The paint that saves gallons—that’s the paint to wear. Geo W Brown. Union, S C, painted B F Arthur’s house there twelve years ago with 30 gallons; repainted five years ago lead-and-oil with 25 gallons; last year Devoe with 14 gal lons. There’s $80 saved on paint and labor; don’t know what he paid for that 30-gallon stuff; no matter. Go by the gallons. Yours truly 86 F W DEVOE & CO P. S.

The Ledger has given me a "lift,” so I do not intend to ever forsake It entire ly. I, however, must keep the “wolf from the door,” therefore, I have asked a certain big daily to employ me on its columns as one of Its scribes. I know my readers will all wish me much success in this new field of endeavor. And for the time being I shall continue my studies and semi-weekly correspondence to The Ledger, if I live and nothing happens. I know that the big dailies may not see proper to employ me Just yet, but I believe that I am capable of doing the kind of work I purpose to do for them—if they will give me the op portunity. My correspondence will bo peculiar, distinctive and Indivi dual. I shall imitate no one, although I shall make use of all the finest ex pressions that I may find in books.

How Qoickly and Neatly Wo Can Do Job Work Rev. E. G. Ross filled his appoint- j waySi therefore I have tried to de velop my talent for composition by writing for Carolina papers. All of the towns iri our State have their re gular writers for the dallies, but the rural sections are not represented in the State press. And since I am from the country, I desire to become one of its representatives in the field of journalism. I will never let an opportunity to boost my native sec tion slip, because I believe that I be long to South Carolina, and I purpose to serve her to the best of my ability so long as I may live. I desire to live a quiet life. In the serene compan- ionship of books, I purpose to live, work and learn. When I began to write for publication, I at once realiz ed that I must do this. And even in a quiet, uneventful rural community, there is abundant material of the sort that writers need in order to de velop themselves. I confess ihat I am striving for fame, as well as for fortune. But I desire to do some thing really and truly worthy of it. I have no desire whatever to march under false colors. I have long cher ished a desire to make my native section famous In literature, just as Will N. Harben has done for his na tive section—North Georgia. And If the State press will open Its pages to me, It will find me a unique writer; for I purpose to write of ooontry life ment at Ross Grove last Sunday af ternoon.
