MAY ASK APPROPRIATION
FOR FEDERAL BUILDING

Alands upon it
GREAT CROWD PRESENT

Next Session 10 Provide

Which is iNeccssaiy.
DEATH
Came Suddenly to Mr,
Hedge Conge', of Carnes-
ville in this City
Yesterday.
It la quite likely that a request will
be made of the United States govern
ment to appropriate money for the en
largement of the court room of the
Federal building In this city.
There are In attendance quite a
large number of witnesses nnd parties
In attendance upon the session here,
nnd the court room Is absolutely Inad
equate to accommodate the crowds.
Kvery day during the session this
week the court room has been literally
Jammed and packed. The work of
the court is impeded necessarily by
the congested condition In the court
room, as well as the inconvenience re
sulting therefrom.
It is quite likely that the grand jury
will make a recommendation that Con
gress bo requested to provide the
money for the necessary additions and
Improvements.
The Athens division of tho court Is
now the largest outside of the Atlanta
division, and the business In this divi
sion Is steadily Increasing.
Outside the Inadequate court room,
tho building Is quite satisfactory.
Yesterday morning the dead body of
Mr. fledge Conger, of CamesvIIle, was
found In his romp in the home of his
sister, Mrs. J. W. Woods, of this city.
Mr. Conger had como over to pay
visit to Ills sister and the previous
night hud been up until a late hour,
talking to his relatives and enjoying
to nil appearances his usual good
health.
He retired without muklng any com
plaint of feeling unwell, and yester
day morning when it was founil that
he was dead it was a great shock to
all his relatives and friends.
Mr. Conger was a well known citi
zen of Franklin county. For a num
her of years he wns county surveyor
of that county. He numbered his
friends by his acquaintances, and his
death will cast a gloom over the com
munity In which he lived. The fun
eral will he held today In CamesvIIle.

Dear Sirs: Not ono man In ten
knows whether he's wasting money or
not, when he paints. It depends on
tho paint.
With one paint, your Job will take
10 gallons and cost $50 for paint and
labor;
with another 12 and cost $60;
with another 14 nnd cost 70;
with another 16 and cost 80;
with another 18 and cost 90;
with another 20 and cost 100;
with another 22 and cost 110.
Here’s an example. Professor Ir
vine, of tho Academy, Mercersbnrg,
Pa, painted the floors of hla dormito
ries every year, ono year with one
paint, next year with the paint of the
other, next year with the paint of the
other dealer there—to divide the busi
ness between them—till Devoe came
to town.
The Job took 90 gallons; takes 60
Devoe. The difference, SO gallons,
$150. He didn't know he was losing
$150 a year till he got Devoe.
Another example. When Geo W
Brown, Union, S C, pointed B F Ar
thur's house Brat time it took 30 gal
lons “cheap” paint; repainted Devoe;
14 gallons.
