Senator Daniel of Virginia on Wednesday urged a more just recognition of the South in American life. He argued 10 to 12 states lack adequate representation in high offices due to Civil War legacies and political differences, insisting politics should not skew national regard and that the South possesses capable public material despite past conflicts.

Devoe Paint Ad Warns of Poor Lead Zinc Mix
A letter from PF. W. Devor& Co of New York criticizes Spartansburg mill-owner in Dextox Alabama for buying five thousand gallons of Devoe lead and zinc paint at a lower price and receiving a sulphate of lead adulterated product. The letter argues the cheaper paint wears poorly, costs more in labor, dryer, and reduction, and that the maker benefited little from the five cent saving.
