Against Increased Salaries.
Tuesday the senate bill increasing
the judges salaries to $3,500 was up
before the judiciary committee oi the
house. Mr. Warren, of Jones, favored
the bill and so did Mr. Biggs, of Dur
ham, but Mr, Graham, of Granville,
opposed it, saying that the insane,
the schools, the Confederate soldiers
must be looked after first, that, if the
state could not pay all obligations to
these salaries should not be increased,
that the people complained of taxe.
He thought that the best talent could
be had on salaries as suggested by Mr,
Winborne. That with 31,000 just !

Letter to J. F. Royster, Oxford, N- C
Dear Sir: You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on
conditions of building.
There is a great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying painte
is 300 square feet, two coats Its a lie,
as a rale.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think, w e thiDk 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful ; we guess 100 to 400
The truth is found in another com
parison. Devoe is all paint, true pant,
strong paint, and full measure; the
others in general are, at the best, di
luted, adulterated and short measure.
They co vex according to body meas
ure. You cant paint with clay lime
