"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer."
The secret is out and Kingstree
can go on living just as if the riddle
had never been asked.
No it can't, either. Kingstree is
not going to be what it was before.
It's houses are going to be brighter;
It's people a little more prosperous?
they are going to have some of their J
; money left to buy other things with.
: The auswer to the riddle is this: <
i you can paint a building with fewer 1
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc 1
paiut than with mixed paints,, and
it will wear several timeslong as
a building painted with^ lead and 1
oil mixed by hand. (
There's proof abundant of it
all over the United States. There
will soon be proof of it abundant in
Kingstree.
What will people do with the
rest of their money? ,

! A magio lantern exhibition wis
given here Monday night
Rev Wm Roof preached his final
sermon before leaving for oonferenoe
Bandar before last. A large con*
gregation greeted him and Ms discourse
was strong and impressive.
Mr Roof is a zealous and consecrated
Christian worker and has certainly
done all in his power to advance
the religions internet of his
charge.
The merchants all - observed
Thanksgiving by dosing their
places of business Thursday. The
clerk's enjoyed being turned loose
that day. A good many spent the
day mingling with the fair sex and .
other amusements. But as I write
this my memory reverts to the occasion
from which Thanksgiving orig
inated and according to the way the
day was celebrated then it is how badly
abused. The people seem to have
lost sight of its original purpose. '
Miss Mittie McGill, accompanied
by her f iend, Miss Carrie Roberts,
of Florence came home to spend
Thanksgiving. Miss McGill is attending
school in that city.
The parsonage is almost completed.
It is a handsome and oommodious
building and reflects much
credit on the members of the Methodist
church, who realised that their
pastor needed a comfortable home.
Miss Eula Hines visited her home
at Florence Thursday.
Mr T B Johnson has accepted a
position in Charleston. Mr John*
sou formerly kept books for O L
Sauls, of this place.
Miss Ma> el Buzhardt spent Sunday

Bad colds are prevailing to some
extent since the recent change of
the weather.
Mrs A A May is spending some
