the excessive hot weather of the 18th, Goth and

sharp-aigbted men among US who say that the
reason Of the recent opposition, on the part Of

the fact, that experience has already demon

mistake when they thus divided the county
into assemblies of neighbors and friends-eri-

We live close life, competition is sharper,

The above Company was organ zed in 1866, In
consequence OF the wholesale forfeiture OF Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success Of the enterprise has forced several of these
companies TO restore their Sout ern policies from
the fact TINT they could not operate IN our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at homo to build up our
impoverished country-every dollar Of premium
being safely invested In the state from which 1t de-
rived The institution Is purely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy Of every Southern heart.
IT'S not our purpose to make war on other COM
panies but TO exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio Of assets to
isbl!ties--the true test of companys strength-is
second to none on this continent, being nearly $500
to 500.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims OF this Company 1t has not only enlisted the
sympahes of our people, but has also secured their
hearty cooperation. We have secured 600 policies
in South Carolina since the 10Th of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hsmp-
