perity and independence, and to wit

Southern enterprises marching on
with united front, gathering strength
step by step, waking up the latont en-

was a noble work Of one agent-for-

$4,000 risks and S2O,942 in pre-
miums. But the Piedmont is still
ahead, asthe following statement Fl ON
her President will show:
Rev. R. N. Pool, Agent of the
Piedmont, procured in one day five
politics, on which the cash premiums
were over $4,000, and in addition
% policies on which premiums were
$3,2t2, the whole covering risks
amounting to $121,5O0, and premi-
ums of $20,2l2. This was one days
work. The same agent, short time
before, sent in 33 applications in one
day, on which the premiums were S.
698, so that two days work amounted
to 60, or Is ahead Of the Southern
Lile lnndthe premiums TO S25,9l0, or
$4,000 income in one day over the
Southern Life. TLis same agent has
more than once done as well, as TO
numbers, but.notamount: y -
Mcssrs. Jefferson 4 Ransom, Agents
of Piedmont, in South Carolina have
done quite asRells in all respects, but.
as this is a firm, we will not count
their work against one agent
We wish botil these companies all
the success they merit st the hands of
the!Southern5public, but bear in mind
tho sturdy Virginia Company is in
the lead, and still pressing onward
with cautieusl rapid strides.
If Southern men, and those who
mean to identify themselves with
Southern interests, come from what
cline they n1nys viii determine to
keep their money at$home, encourage
and shstairi Southern institutions,
and honestly, and like true men, do
their duty to- themselves and their
families, the timeis not far distant,
when, with ali the yigor ofrenewed
youth glorifying in the ample resour-
ccs With which Heaven has blessed
her, the South shall yet be proclaim.
