Letter to J. H. Pool. ,
Onion, S. C.
Dear Sir: Lead-and^il is not good
paint; don't wear; the rale is, as everyone
knows, repaint in three years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same way?
allow wide margin in all sach statements.
What does it mean, to last?
It toeans the same with both.
As to covering: that's another. Here's
an instance.
Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted
two houses, lead-and-oil; took 40 gallons
Last summer bought 40 galls Devoe
for the same two houses; returned 10
gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts; it's all
, paint, true paint, and full-measure.
Lead-and-oil is all paint but not geod
paint; the lead wants sine. Better
i paint Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe <k Co,

Hie ranting, . raving stir now being
nade among the people about get;ing
from under the thralldom of
;ho State's rum shop by a vote of
he people is causing mucli spccuation
as to the advisability of such
i move. Now we notice that
imoilg the most active workers and
he loudest talkers alnmt the curse
if the dispensary are those who
rnve at sundry times been candilates
or applicants for positions,
;ither as dispenser, member of
xiard of control at which time these
ipposcrs and would-be closers of
he dispensary thought this instiution
a very good thing and doubtess
the best solution of the whiskey
problem, thus fully illustrating the
able of the gored ox. These
itrenuous advocates at this time are
)ut moral windmills?do all the
blowing to suit the occasion by
vhich they would have people think

s a case of sour grapes with them.

Outside of this latter class
>f citizens it is a significant fact
that those who have been advocates
>f the old barroom system and have
>ecn "blind tigers" and illicit sellers
of liquor, walking barrooms are
loud in their denouncing of the
iispensary, calling it a corrupt political
scheme by which the leaders
have grown rich, that the law has
never l>ecn complied with, but on
the contrary is flagrantly violated
by every employee from the highest
to tho lowest. Not having investigated
we are not prepared to say
whether this is entirely true or not,
what we arc trying to point out is,
that with the moral windmill circumstances
alters cases, that is,
every wind is an ill wind that don't
blow things his way. Look out for
the squalls when he finally gets

UNION'S RAILROAD NEARLY
COMPLETED.
But the Southern Has Interposed
Annoying Obstacles.
The people of Union arc up in
arms Itecause the Southern railway
appears to be trying to keep the
Union and Glenn Springs railroad
from entering that city. The new
road is to be a connection for the
Seaboard, and will knock the Southern
out of thousands of dollars in
freight receipts, for the principal
stock owner of the new road is Col.
T. C. Duncan, president of the big
mill at Union and largely interested
in other enterprises in that city. It
is said that the. Southern's freight
receipts at Union aggregate $54,(XX)
a month, or nearly $1)50,000 a year.
Col. Duncan is president of the
Buffalo mill, capitalized at $000,(XX),
and the Union mill, capitalized
at $1,100,000. Mr. J. A. Fant,
president of the Monarch mill,
capitalized at $250,000, is also interested
in the movement to get
the new road into Union.
The Southern railroad last September
secured a temporary injunction
to prevent the new line from
coming into the city by crossing at grade
the tracks of the Southern
around the Monarch mill. This
injunction was subsequently dissolved,
but before the track could
be built across the sidetracks it was
necessary to secure permission from
ii - - ?? -1 *
uie ranroaci commission.
Yesterday there was a delegation
of the leading business men of
Union before the commission and
they urged that some action be
taken to let Union have a competing
line, and at as little cost as
possible. The members of the delegation
were: Mayor It. L. McNally,
Mr. Laurens (J. Young, Mr. Macbeth
Young, Mr. B. F. Arthur,
president of The People's Bank;
Mr. J. A. Fant, president of the
Monarch mills, and Mr. Thomas
McNally, president of the chandler
of commerce. Mr. It. H. Welsh
was present as the representative of
the legal department of the Southern
railway.
The gentlemen from Union did
not hesitate to express themselves
forcibly in regard t<> the policy of
the Southern railway, and it was
decided by the commission after
hearing. t%A^UPCyto^it.^ VATf
the route of the projected railway
and see if that is the only feasible
way in which it can reach the city
of Union. Mayor McNally claims
that it would cost $30,(XX) additional
to build the road a more circuitous
route, and as this is a home
enterprise and not a branch of
cither of the large systems it should
be encouraged by the railroad commission
of the state.
Maj. W. Ixmng Lee of Sumter
was employed to make the survey,
each of the railroad companies concerned
being assessed 850 to pay
Maj. T-ee's expenses. It is thought
that he can get through within a
week and can make a report in
order that building operations may
be taken up at once, either on that
line or on some other. Mr. L. G.
Young is the one most interested
in the construction of the line, and
1 he stated that the building operations
have reached a point within
two miles of Union and the contractors
now want to get into the
city.
The Union and Glenn springs
railroad will be operated from
Prides, a station 011 the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern line of the
Seaboard, to the city of Union, a
distance of 14 miles, and thence to
Buffalo, three miles northwest of
Union. Sulisequently a line 14
miles in length will be built from
Buffalo to Glenn Springs, from
which point there is now 110 independent
line running into Spartanburg.
This will give both Union '
and Spartanburg connection with {
the Seaboard, although the Union (
and Glenn Spring is an independent 1
line, not owned by the Seaboard. '
While Spartanburg now has connec- (
tion with the Atlantic Coast Line '
by means of the Charleston and f
Western' Carolina, Union has but 1
one line of railway and that is the 1
Southern's line between Columbia
and Spartanburg. It can Ixj seen
Quite readilv how much the eitv of
Union would bo benefitted by an
additional line. Prides, the point 1
on the Scalxjard whence the new
line will conic into Union, is on
Broad river, quite near the big
power plant at Neal shoals which
will drive all the spindles of that
section. The new road will have a 1
station at the power plant and
another one or two between that
point and Union.
The railroad commission will
probably grant the request of the
now road to l>e allowed to cross the
sidetracks of the Southern at grade,
for it has already burrowed under
the trunk line of the Southern at
Union, and the sidetracks are not
in constant use. Maj. John H.
Earlo of the railroad commission
yesterday expressed his objection to
letting tto new rudud eroaa at grade
