sy A CARD.-SOUTHERN LIFE LNSUR-
ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA:
The above Company was organized in 1885, in
consequence Of the wholesale forfeiture OF South
ern policies by Northern companies. The un-
paralleled success of the enterprise has forced
several of these companies to restore their South
ern policies, from the fact that they could not
operate in our midst without the appearance Of
honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar OF pre-
MUM being safely invested In the State from
which it is derived. The institution Is purely
Southern, and hence should appealwith great
force to the patriotism and sympathy OF every
Southern heart.
IT'S not our purpose to make war on other
companies, but to exhibit the special advantages
offered by this purely Southern Company-found-
ed on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio OF
assets to riabities-the true test OF company's
strengths second to none on this continent,
being nearly $500 to 500.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims Of this Company, it has not only enlisted
the sympathies Of our people, but has also secur-
ed their hearty cooperation. We have secured
900 policies in South Carolina since the 10Th OF
February. We number among our directors
General Wade Hampton and Colonel VIM. Jonn-
ston, gentlemen we'll known to every citizen OF
South Carolina. We appeal personally to the
people Of South Carolina to assist in pushing for
ward this deservedly popular Southern institu-
tion. ]. ID. MILLER,

WHISPER A WORD TO THE
WIND My LOVE.

AN APOSTROPHE.
Whisper word to the wind. my love!
Say that our strife is DER;
Loves pardon speak TO your Borrowing dove,
That signs by the lakelets shore
Whisper word 10 the wind, my love
And the zephyrs win bear it along
Waiting its tones like sweets, as they rove,
Teaching each bird new song.
Whisper it never so softly and low,
Quickly they'll seize on their prize,
Whether astir in the suns hot glow,
Or borne beneath star studded skies
Breathe it in winter, twill warm the air;
In spring twill awaken the leaves;
The sunlight of summer twill make more tair;
More golden the autumn sheaves.
Whirling, circling, twill move on swift,
Brown tanning, lip kissing after;
Melting to tears like some gentle gift,
Tickling the lakelets to laughter.
Kissing the sedges, till bowling the crest,
They dive in the chattering river,
The love bearing zephyr never rests
Till loves message it safe deliver.
Whisper them darling, thy magic spell
| pine tor the word laden breeze
1t comes thou hast spoken-the zephyrs tell
Forth to meet it my glad heart fees

vass. Victory achieved in the presence Of dis
scnsion as we'll as unwonted quiet, aud of a
condition of business affairs which wcans the
thoughts Of mnltitudes from political discus
sion, implies devotion on the part of the peo-
pie to the principles and purposes of the
Republican party. In spite of all disadvan-
tages the State has reafirmed its adherence to
the Republican party, and has proclaimed its
confidence in the course and aims of the ma
tional administration. The Legislature is
Republican ana contests for the local officers
have resulted not less satisfactory
From Ohio tho returns continue less con-
elusive. Democratic arithmcticians have a
strange method of converting minorities into
majoritios, and by this sort of hocus pocus
they have declared Pendcton elected, with
scarcely single figure to warrant their con-
clusion. The facts received point to the re-
election of Hayes, by comparatively mar
row majority indeed, but still majority suf-
fciently large to redeem the State from the
suspicion Of completely with the regulators
and their schemes. Apart from the financial
issue, the Democrats have concentrated their
efforts upon the Legislature with the view Of
preventing the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment There is some reason that their
excrtions in this respect have not been un-
successful; for, though the Senate is I'M
doubtedly Republican, the House may posi-
bly, be Democratic by single vote More
precise information may remove this source
Of regret. At present, however, the prospect
is that vote adverse to the amendment is
secured-a vote, we must remember, which
jeopardizes its ratification, and prolongs TIE
contest it was designed to terminate.
