THIS ASSOCIATION WAS ORGANIZED ON THE
22d of June last, only nine months ago. and has al.
ready secured all annual revenue from premiums ON
existing policies of nearly $500 900 Five Hun
dred Thousand Doars). It's new business for the
month of December was S72,393 SO, insuring the
amount of $1157,0OO Its new business for the
month Of January was Sa6,524 IL, insuring the
amount of 81, ,649, 900.
One months business being greater than that done
by the largest and weathiest Life Insurance Compa-
nes in the United States during tue entire first
year of their existence.
The Association first started by the most
wealthy and influential citizens Of ST. Louis for
the purpose Of changing the current Life Insur-
ance and Life Insurance capital from the East to
the West and South. and its plan is liberal and
men of the West and sou'h generally are insuring
their lives in It, to the exclusion of other companies
This is shown by the fact that the policies issued
during the months of December and Jan uary are OF
an averange amount of 81 1868 A. drawing IN aver
age annual premium of S419 20.
The largest average attained by any other compa-
in the United States is about S4O.0 to each poll
cy, while the average size of all policies existing in
this country is only about S25OO.
These facts speak for themselves and show that
the bushes, men Of the country, who have money
to invest select this Association in preference to all
other institutions.

Affairs in South Ga-elia%

An article appeared In tho Macon
7Hegr'I ! short lime sinue. Which
has been extensively copied, in which
in which it was statqd That the crops
in South Carolina had a!most entirely
failed, that Il large part Of the State
was being abandoned by the whites,
and that tho lower sections were fast
rcla2siny intp barbarism. The
Charleston Nrws exposes this tissue of
misrepresentation and thus places
the matter in It's true light:
- The truth Of tho matter is, that
South Carolina 10 to-day as strong as
any other state Of the South. aud has
as bright prospects fof the future
The shors cotton crop Of the year will
bc 1T least Us good as that Of last
year while thu long cotton crop wN
be better than it has boon for ,luny
years. The rice looks we'll. the wheat
w;ts excellent, and the only future
will he in corn, the crop Of which
may fall short. But in this there is
no danger. Money is abundant. and
there is as much reason to apprc ncn,i
Il famine i'll New York city as in South
Carolina.
"lt not true that any part of the
State Is unhabi,ahlr by whites; nor is
it true that great numbers Of the
whites arc leaving thc State. There is
as much safety in this Sat" aS there is
in Georgia. anlo people. feeling that
home is tho best place for them. are
determined to stick.
alt, not true that there is anv
prospect that Tic lower sections of
the Stat" will be abandoned to the nc
.rocs. For three successive years the
crops in the low country failed. 1nis
stripped tho planters bare, paralyzcI
their energies, and made it well nigh
impossible to pitch another crop.
Bat it was done, and tho low country
will have Il finer crop this season than
it has had since he war. The freed,
men are under good ccutrol, and the
power and influence OF the whites in.

State the people are confident and
cheerful. We have moro har,l money

that full protection would be guaran-

and which the City journal pronounce

only to produce irritation. Upon this

1t is somewhat singular. that a num-

WITHOUT having 2 company of police

grounds on which Mayor Pillsbury
based his action arc as weak as his

prevailed that it should bo wiped out
