ROOTING
Better Than
THOUSANDS of people
buy shinnies for their
roofs rather than face the prospect
of painting a ready roofing every
year or two.
Shingles are expensive, but they
are actually cheaper during ten
years than a ready roofing which
needs frequent painting to keep it
free from leaks.
Amartite roofing costs less than
half as much as shingles and does
not need painting either. It is
easier to lay and will give years of
long hard service without any care.
Amatite has a real mineral sur
face. That's why it needs no
painting. Once laid on your roof
Shingles
your building has real protection.
Amatite is easier to lay than ever
this year. The liquid cement for
the laps does not require heating
before use. A three-inch smooth
margin is left at the edge of the
sheet so that the laps will be tight
fitting and easily cemented. The
large headed nails which we fur
nish save fussing with caps, which
rust easily.
Amatite is up to date.
Send for a Sample and look it
over. You '11 never buy any other.

of letting him know we are out

anxious for another debate; so if
he will get a query and let us
know which side we are on we
will try them as much as one

speak, whichever they wish, and
we will play them on our own

they like best. They may take
this as a challenge and let us
know at once.

been holding a revival for the

it is said, 110 conversions. When
a nigger is converted he issues a

certify that sister Jane Jones has

Last week The Chronicle told
of how some of the people of
Anson and Union counties were
neeced oy a iaKir who came
along wnh clothing paterns
which he sold at good prices, the
bait being that a tailor would
follow in a day or two and make
the cloth into clothing. Of course,

Right on the heels of this ex

big line of mowers, reapers, bug
gies and other articles of like
character to men and women
white and black, and then skip
ped with his booty, even leaving
the livery stable man in the
lurch. No doubt some of these
victims were intelligent people.
It is strange that in this day of
newspapers and enlightenment
these roving swindlers can find
anybody with whom they might
be able to drive a bargain, and
yet the woods seem to be full of
em. They would not bite twice
at the same bait, but let some
thing new come along and they
fall cheerful victims. There
seems to be no way of getting
around the old saying that "fools
and their money are soon parted.".
