By A. B. Cochran “I earned my first dollar making harness and whips,” said Dr, New man when asked by the intorviewer' ns to how he earned his first dollar. r. Dr. Newman stated that his father had a harness shop when he was q .mall boy and in this way made his. money working for . his father. When asked where he was born, he replied that Edgefield, S. C„ was his birthplace, and that he was born on August 25, 1852. “When I was in school most of the boys-called me Albert, but some called me . by my second name, Henry,” was his reply to a question concerning his nick name us a boy, “I had no nickname' when I was in college.” This last statement also holds true as to I)r.. Newman’s nickname as a faculty member, for investigation shows no nickname was given him at Mcrfer. “I guesjj church history is my hobby now,”i he replied to a question. 1 Mrs. Newman who was also prpjt- ent stated that Dr. .Newman had ex pressed his. intention of being a writer even when a young man be*- • fore they were married. Dr. New- ‘ mun has been true to this statement, for he is now known as the Baptists’ ’ greatest historian. He has written and edited eight volumes . celebrated in religious history as well as study.. He has taught in several colleges'of • the United States and has .traveled j in parts. of Europe. , •‘.. l Good Paint is Cheap! The statement that 'Good Paint Costs Nothing" was very strong • few years ago when lumber was more plentiful than it is to-day —and of better quality. In this day when lumber has become expensive and its cost is constantly increasing, a sentence which expresses the true value of paint,—protecting and preserving the expensive article on which it is placed,—would be something like this: " Good Paint ia one of the beat inveatmenta you can possibly make." 'Good Paint,' says a leading authority, 'is today the cheapest ■ commodity of daily life. While there has been some advance in its price over the | asl ten years, owinq to increase in the cost of raw materials and marked improvement in quality, steel and lumber have advanced several hundred percent and other articles of daily use accordingly.' Compared w ith the materials it is used to conserve, Good Paint is actually cheaper at present prices than ever before. ' Luca s Paint Purposely Made for Every Purpose Is suds to a standard 1 —uniform —of right materials tho result of 67 years of careful, honest paint making. It has life alastlcity beauty. It gives your home 6 25 to 50 percent better selling-value—better LIVING value. PLANTERS IMPLEMENT CO. M»in s. Davia, Pm. . ’ E. W. l.ipfurd, Hrr.
