PRoMrr PAYMENT.-It always gives
us pleasure to commend good insti-
tuition Of any kind, and, wc arc sure,
all Our readers will agrco with us that
the following act Of generosity dem
onstrates clearly that the Piedmont
Life Insurance Company is one of the
very best Institutions Of the kind in
the land. Last week VIC publishcdaR
notice of tho death Of John G. Mauck.
Of this place, who had his life insured
for 81 900, q few month; since, by Mr..
r. IL. Stratton, Agent for this Com
pany.
The President of tho Company, W.
G.. Darlington, and tho Agont, Mr..
Stratton, were on their way to the
Valley whom they heard of Dir,
Mauck's death, and since arriving
here have given a check for the
amount of the insurance, $1,000, to
Mr.. Mauck's friends, but according to
tho laws of tho Company they were
not Obliged to pay tho money until
tho expiration Of ninety days.
This act Of promptness upon tho
part of tho Piedmont Life Insurance
Company will no doubt bc Of service
to the Company in procuring a num-
Der Of policies from among our citi-
zcns, and as there is no question asto
tho reliability of the Company, we
hope they may succeed in securing q
great many.
This is q Southern Company, and
thcro is no use in paying money to
Northern companies when wo have
prompt and responsible companies of
our own.-Commonacealth, HarrisonJury

spectators, and the best interests of
trade, as in the case Of tho Chatham
bill, made to yield to selfish and local
claims, which como nvowcd with the
all-potcnt bride. The most important
Dill OF the session, that which rcmu-
latcs tho assessment and collection Of
taxes, and which affects every interest
IN tho community, is hurried through
with rapidity which is mockcry
upon the forms Of Legislation.
characterized throughout by this
unsccmly haste and ulwisc inaction,
tho Session has been protracted and
ut the same time frittcrcd away, with
no other object than to build up and
secure tho success Of n party, and
enrich the pockets of individuals.
And all this too at tho expense Of
othcrs-the property holders and tax
payers, who during the present scs-
sion have already been satldIcI with Il
debt of $4,000, TO cnabIo u set Of
carpct-bag@crs and scalawags, and
dcluded blacks, to indulge the cxpcn-
sive luxury Of running the State.
In Wow Of these facts, VIC have this
chief consolation, that the very
enormity Of tho evils which arc inhc-
rcht in tho system, must bring about
its speedy ovcrthrow-that no such
ovcrsrown monstrosity can long sur
