"PRO BONO PUBLICO."


At the present day no sane and intel
ligent man will deny che great benefit
accruing to our people from a just sys-
tenn of Life Insurance.
1t is no longer question whether a
man should or not insure-for if he is
the provident husband and father he
should be, he will not neglect this para
mount duty. The hue and cry of ''Pa-
tronize home institutions" keep your
money at home," fails to find its wonted
enchantment, and our people are ava
kening to AUST appreciation of their in-
terest to themselves and their families,
and are no longer lulled by the strange
infatuation that no good can come out of
Yankeedom-what we Southern people
want in Life Insurance are two things
first of all perfect security which no
Southern Company has given except the
Piedmont & Arlington, it having passed
the rigid inspection of the Insurance
department of New York--after security,
we should ask ourselves this important
question, where can get the most insu-
rance for the very least outlay of money :?
The Universal Life of New York claims,
and can maintain that claim, that she is
not deficient in either of these essentials.
AS to security she is upon the same basis
of all New York companies; which
places her above suspicion, and as to her
rates, she defies competition. All de-
sired information concerning her work
ings, advantages and peculiarities can
be obtained from .

Tho Public Schools An Enquiry.

Editor A65eviHe Press and Banner:
Your two last issues have contained
very favorable notices Of speeches made
by the State Superintendent of Public
Schools, one Mr.. Jillson. I have no idea
who his audiences were, or what he told
them; but 1 have often wondered il he
told them, what I am informed, the
County School Commissioner, Thos. NJ.
Williamson, says he (Jillson) told him,
to wit: IF Southern man presents
his claim to you for teaching public
school, it matters not whether he is
black or white, disapprove his claim. But
if q Northern teacher presents his claim
approve it."h -
!. A teacher of public school in Able
Vile County says his claim was disap-
proved by Williamson, and this was the
reason assigned for the disappIoval.
Are these official instructions? and If
not, why does Williamson refuse, as he
has done, to approve the accounts pre-
sented by teachers for teaching public
schools, when such teachers have been
properly examined and commissioned or
licensed, or whatever the term of quail
fication is? QUI vIVE.

n@- Our neighbor, of the 4. r. Pres
byterian, says that the Chester Reporter
is the only paper that noticed the open
ing of the Summer Session Of that pros
porous Institution, the Due West Fe-
male College. -,~.-,- .--..~.-
The notice in the Presbyterian was
clipped for our paper, but was not, by
some means, set up the week we intend
ed to publish it, and it was afterwards
overlooked. 1t has always been pleas
ure for US to publish any notice of the
Due West Colleges. In our paper of
March 6, may be found long notice of
the Due West Female College, which
was copied from the Presbyterian, and
in an issue. of o later date was published
a notice of Erskine College. We hear
tily wish Mr.. Bonner, and the fine Fe-
male Institution over which he presides
the largest measure of success. We be-
lieve it to be one Of the best institutions
in the State, and the large number of
students in attendance every year give
the best evidence of the high appreoia-
tion in. which it is held by the pa
rents and guardians Of the country.

FRANCE AND TIE INDEMNITT-
TEE Hour OF FREEDOM APPROACH
ING.-On the authority of the Con-
stitutionael, one of the best informed
French Journals, negotiations are
in progress between France and
Germany, having for their object
the liberation Of French territory
from the presence of German troops.
Accordig to the same authority the
German government is willing: to
evacuate that portion Of France
now occupied by its troops on con-
dition that France shall pay imme-
diate!y five hundred million francs,
and that the remaining two and a
halt milliards Of the war indemnity
shall be paid in yearly instalments.
A despatch to the London Standard
states that if the negotiations sue
cecd the French National Assem-
bly, will be dissolved. We rejoice
at this piece of news. The pre-
sumption is that the negotiations
will succeed and that France will
soon be. free. The dissolution of
the Assembly it is reasonable to
conclude, must follow; for after the
evacuation, the Bordeaux pact will
no longer have meaning. 1t will
be we'll if France, left to herself,
knows how to behave. NJ. Thiers
and the. Assembly have done we'll.
1t will be difficult for any govern
ment to do better.-N. Y Herald.

'.& LIFE INsURANoE.-We direct the
attention of our readers to two ar
ticles; .sFacts are stubborn things,
and "Pro Bono Publico," the &C.
tive and efficient agent Of the Uni
versal Life Insurance Company, MIR.
John @. Chiles. At this late day,
perhaps, it would be q work of su-
per=errogation to supplement the
argument of the well-posted agent
BY attempting to show the impor-
tance of life insurance. The assur-
ance, as We may we'll assume, that
that point is settled, and that the
Judgment Of our people is supper
ted by the most substantial reasons.
Q The only question to be deter
mined is, in what Company shall I
insurer The Universal answers
that question by showing that it
offers premiums twenty or thirty
per cent. lower than those charged
by the mutual companies, and that
! it furnishes the most ample securi-
ty, being ratio of l4o per cent. of
assets to liabilities. For particu-
/, lars apply to agent, Mr.. Chiles,
who will give you all the informa-
ton in his power. ~

The Value Of Manufactures.

The value of manufactures in stim-
ulating the developement of wcalt
and the increase Of population are
clearly and forcibly presented in the
following extract from an article in
the Richmond Dispatch: 8
"Thc value of manufactures in in.
creasing wealth and power of COM
munity cannot be over-estimated
There can be no great city without
manufactures. There is no great city
which does not ma. '.ufacture q vast
amount of fabrics. 1t is in reference
to Its manufacturingfacililies that we
look upon Richmond as destined to
become one of the largest inland cities
in the Union, and possibly the very
largest. ......... .-. .-. r..
''Eive hundred thousand dollars in.
vested in manufacturing would give
to Richmond more population and. a
more rapid increase Of wealth than
would fivu millions of dollars en-.
ployed in merchandise. The business
of merchandise employs only small
number of mon in proportion TO capi.
tai, willie manufacturing requires q
great number. In the matter oil
buying and selling we only retain the
gains in the transaction, and in case
Of dealing in imported goods we send
all except the gains that is paid for
those goods out of the country. In
manufacturing we keep everything
The raw material, save in some small.
er branches of art, is produced or
mined in our own country. The con-
verting Of it into fabrics is the final
enhancement of the value Of raw
material, and when it is sold and sent
away its whole value is retained al
home. The miner gets pay for his
labor, and the manufacturer gets his,
while the wealth of the State is in.
creased more rapidly than by any
other means.
"Then we must count the business
Of the feeding, and clothing, and
lodging of largo population, which
add so much to the prosperity Of trade
and so. much to the value Of real es
tate and tho rents of landlords W.
repeat, a capital of five hundred thous
and dollars in manufacturing will give
employment to more people than five
millions of dollars employed in mer
chandising. The reader may have
some better appreciation Of numbcrt
in this matter when we gay that the
Tredegar Works have given employ.
ment at ono time TO fourteen hundred
men, and could, when full of work
employ many more. But take four.
teen hundred, and estimate the mum
ber of families, and Of "helps" required
to meet all their wants, ard we would
have, through those works alone, 6
population of at least six Thousand
people. The capital Of the Tredegal
Works invested in merchandise would
hardly employ more than a hundred
men, if that many.

The Washington Treaty.

The correspondence between the
Government of the United States
and Great Britain, relative to indi
rect damages alleged to have been
sustained during the late war, has
thus far reached no practical solu'
ton. The position of Great Brit
ain is that she has fully discharged
her duties as a neutral, and that
there can attach to her Government
or people, according to information
al law, not the slightest response,
bility. The United States have af-
frmed otherwise, And upon this
issue was directly made. The re-
suit was, the late treaty and the
reference of this question to arbi-
traitors mutually chosen, to meet at
Geneva. . > "a - '>'
When, however, the American
case was presented it was found to
contain claims for consequential
damages, in addition to the ques-
tions supposed to be involved and
submitted, and which amount to
Of dollars. In other words,
not only the issue, whether Great
Britain was to be responsible for
the fitting out or construction of
Confederate cruisers, and for the
actual losses thus sustained, but
whether she was not also liable to
account for the whole expense of
he late war, from the time these
afterwards Confederate cruisers set
'ail from any Of her ports.
The Government of Great Brit
lin has distinctly announced that
t was expressly understood in the
which led to the Trea-
y, that these matters Of consequent
ial or indirect losses were exclu-
led. That there never entered into

Reported Death Of Henry Berry Lewrey.

Henderson, the correspondent
of the New York Herald, recently
with the Lowreys, says:
Between February 13 and 16, in
company with his .fdus Achates-Boss
Strong Henry Berry Lowrey was
ranging in the country in the neigh
borhood of Moss Neck, in search Of
some persons whom, he had been in
formed, were hunting him, while
Steve and Tom Lowrey and Andrew
Strong were stationed alta rendezvous
on Lumber River, near the 'ncw
bridge" About ONE and three quarter
miles from Moss Neck station, within
short gun-shot of the road leading
from Inman's Bridge to McNeil's mill,
they discovered in the bushes a newly
made "blind," "a place of conccalmcnt
or ambush made by INTERVENING the
thickly-grown bushes.) 1t was not
then occupied, and Henry Berry, be-
lieving it had been recently made by
one Of his pursuers, who would short
y return to it, ensconsced himself in
it, while Boss made blind for himself
o short distance off, covering the road
But few minutes after they had
placed themselves in their respective
positions, the report of q gun was
heard from Henry's hiding place, and
when Boss who waited to hear word
from his chief or an answering shot
from an enemy, cautiously approached
the spot, Henry Berry Lowrey lay on
his back. with one barrel of his shot
gun discha rged, and his nose, forehead
and whole front Of his head blown off.
The broken ramrod and missing wi
per showed he had been trying to
draw u load from his gun. Boss drew
the body into a thicbet, and notified
his companions, who straightway
buried him whore, in all human prob
ability, the eye of man will see him
pever. O.. ....-
Thus perished this remarkable man,
and his death marks the desoatiou of
this most formidable body of despcra-
does. The large sum of money he
was said TO be in possession of is also
lost to the country, for no member Of
the band. not even Boss nor his WIFE
knew the whereabouts of his treasure
chest. The remaining outlaws have
male diligent search, but as yet have
had their labor for their pains. Hen
ry Be"ry was said to have bad good
deal of money, besides his share of the
proceeds of the Lumberton Bank,
f'om which some $4,000 were taken.
Ii appears to have been his habit of
appropriating to bis own use the lions
share of all moneys taken, giving his
subjects the other booty.

The Connecticut Election.

On Monday last, the election for
Governor State Officers and men,
bcrs of the Legislature Of Connecti-
cut took place, but at tho time of the
present writing, we have not heard
tho result. The Candidates for Gov.
ernor are Jewell, Republican, the
present incumbent, and Hubbard,
Democrat, both men Of ability and
character. The contest is confined
almost entirely to national issues and
as the parties are very evenly bal
anced, and the Governor has been
canvassing the State very actively,
and seems to be sanguine of success,
We should not be surprised to hear Of
a Republican victory. In 1868, Grant
carried the State BY a majority of
2,O3G .,votes-in 1870, English the
Democratic candidate was elected by
o majority ef s4a etes-and again
elected in 1871, but by manipulation
of votes in the Legislature, Jewell, bis
Republican opponent, was declared
elected by majority of lob votes.
With parties so equally balanced, and
claiming but little superiority the one
over tho other in character and
liability, and in contest involving no
local issues, it matters but little to the
people of the State who is the victor
and almost as little elsewhere, so far
as the result may affect the prospects
of the Presidential election.

SALE DAY.-Monday last was Sale
Day, and as usual at this season of the
year, quite a number of our citizens
were in attendance at the Court House.
The day was noted for its quietness.-
We saw less drunkenness than usual,
and good order prevailed throughout the
day. The following sales were made:
s3 acres of land, the real estate of
Elizabeth Eaton, sold by order of Judge
of Probate, brought s2O0-J. r. Nc
Combs, purchaser. .......
$50 acres Of land of A. o. Watson, un-
der execution, brought $3.50. A. O.
Watson purchaser.
A small lot Of goods, levied on as the
property Of NJ. M. Tarrant, at the suit of
Hartman and Whitehill, were sold in
Lawson's New Hall, and brought very
reasonable prices. Leroy J. Wilson,

Abbeville Agricultural Society-Some
Well-Timed Remarks.

The following extract of a letter
addressed to q member of tho Board
of Directors Of the ..Abbeville Agri-
cultural Society, has been handed 10
us for publication. The suggestions
contained in it are worthy of censid-
grafton.
~ enclose you an extract from the
Newberry Herald, which may interest
you. Whilst reading it, I remem.
bered that our Board of Directors
passed resolution that the Secretary
compile Report OF our proceedings,
success, reports made, &C., during our
last Fair, and have the whole thing
published in the Rural. Why was
this not done? 1t would have added
that much to the reputation of the
Society. That enormous pototo
crop Of A. B. C.'s would have beat
the world and the 'rest of mankind"
If our Society will encourage essays,
discuss proper subjects at their meet
ings, urge people to attend these
meetings, and then publish their pro-
ceedings and exchange them with
other Societies over the Union, they
would soon accumulate library wor-
thily of a State Society. regret
you did not publish week or fort
night ahead, the meeting of your
Board. I never knew it was to meet
until Thursday P. NJ. 1t met Friday.
I would have suggested some ideas
for their consideration, and one Of
them was to have appointed certain
members of the society to read essays,
one, say, each night of the days of
the Fair, which essays would be sub
ject for review and discussion on the
respective nights. Then, too, promi-
nent men over the State might be in
vited to read essays. Such matters
published and issued with tho Premi.
um List would excite interest and
call more people to tho Fair.
When will you issue your Premium
List :? On this subject too I'd have
suggested to offer nothing but money,
and pay out the cash, or an order on
Whildcn for 30 much, and lot the sue
cessful man select. Our people are
getting tired Of napkin ringp, fruit
knives, &C." /

stocks of Spring and Summer goods, to
which we would invite the attention Of
our friends. In the course of a few days
our stores will all be we'll filled, when
the merchants will offer inducements to
purchasers in regard to styles and prices.

ordinary demand. Among those who
have returned we are pleased to notice
Messrs. L. w. White, VIM. Hill, Jas.
w. Fowler, Major Andrew Wardlaw,
and Benjamin Barnwell.
