“ I knew this would be a good job before,
I started, because you can’t go wrong with
New Era Paint. . . .
“It don’t take so much paint to do the job
when you use I^ew Era Paint. It always looks
the best, and lasts the longest. Makes the house
last, too, because the weather can’t get at it?

Governor Furguson in his Labor
Day speech at Dallas, The gor-
ernors’ speech in part was as fol-

“As labor is the only commo-
dity many men have to sell, as it
is their sole property, so to
speak, and as they most gain
their livelihood by its sale it is as
much the doty of the government
to prevent the confiscation of la-
bor as the confiscation of any
other kind of property. The man
who takes more than a reason-
able pro£t from the labor , of a
workman commits a crime against
good morals, and in a degree
strikes a blow at the foundation
of society.

you talk of the right of labor to

sell his lkbor for less than its
worth because he so desires,- but
because he must do so.

tion that economical and efficient
service can be maintained.

The following mention of the
lamented J. C, Florea, the Rich-
mond Coaster editor, who, to-
gether with his wife and three
children, were lost in the Gulf
storm of August 17, is taken
from the Richmond Coaster:
... ... ■ .
Mr. Florea was born in Ohio
in November,. 1866. His ancest-
ors, on the paternal side, were
French Huguenots who fled from
France during a period of perse-
cution in that country, and set-
tled eventually in Adams county,
Ohid, where Mr. Florea was
born. Jacob Florea, the founder
and father of the American
branch, was a colonial soldier
who participated in many of the
battles for American independ-
ence. Joshua Florea, , a son . of
Jacob, crossed the Allegheny
mountains, settling in Kentucky,
where he with other pioneers be-
came the associates of Daniel
Boone. John Florea, a son of
Joshua, received in early life a
grant of land in Ohio, then call-
ed the northwest territory, and
he located in a section which On
the organization of the state of
Ohio became Adams county.
Hamilton Florea, the son of
John, and the father of our
friend, inherited the Adams
county estate, and there John
Cornelius Florea was born.
The family possessed all the
characteristics of the pioneer,
were strong and rugged men
endowed with all the hardy vir-
tues of the men of those trying
.times.

death of his father, to Adams
county, whose estate he was call-
