When,will SANDERS upon home institu-
tons cease?
How long must our people be tlunted
with the declaration that they have not
the capacity to manage successfully. a
Life Insurance Company? We have in
our humble and earnest way, and with
out making war upon any particular
Company, en6eavorcd to bring theclaims
of the Southern Life to the attention of
the citizens of South Carolina. We have
tried to impress upon them the great inn
portance of kccping their capital at home
by fostering their own institutions. The
Officers and Agents Of the vd1fous 'Sonth-
c,n Companies have preached and en-
forced this great doctrine, and have met
an answering echo in the hearts of the
Southern people. They have been met
with success so great and overwhelming
that the ,irdt Companies of the North,
wishing to secure more Of the blessings
(their) ourrebelious masters threw away
and totally unmindful of the" 1pAolesalc
robbery of the South "by the forfeiture
of Southeg1, Policies" are moving heaven
and earth (as itwere) to injure and break
down. the prestige and character of
Southern Companies. They are offering
the most .eXtravagant- salaries and COM
missions to Agents, so anxious are they
to gain and maintain foothold in the
South.
Bnt, thank God, the hearts of tie people
are right, and by their workS they glori-
ously refute and rebuke these slanders
against their own fellow-citizens and CO.
patriots.
The miserable motiues, and ineffable
msanncss, of the Agent who attempts to
prop up his own fallen fortunes by attack
ing the private character of his opponent,
are too transparent to be misunderstood
by sensible men.
The versatility of some of these Agents
in invonting calumny, is somewhat in
credible. Almost as boundless as their
peculiar talent which enables them to-
day to serve Southern Company, and
with ali manner .of maledictions upon
the I" Yankcc Corporations" and to-mor-
ro,o to wheel suddenly around, abuse the
very Company they once so zcotousty
,.h,,,.oe.,,ted and ,,nhold and serve the
Company they condemned.
We desire to advise these "gallcd
jades" that our "aoithers are not an
wrung." Westand ready not only to up
hold and defend the Company which we
have the honor to represent, but to pro-
tect, untler any and aIt circumstances, our
personal honor and integrity.
J. II. MILLER,
B. w. LAWTON,
Gen'l Agents.
