dition of the National Life Ins. Co. Of the Uni
life insurance company OF the world upon the
low rate stock plan. It's loans upon bond and
mortgages and United States bonds, amounting
to g. 531, GIG, largely exceed its total liabili-

Financial Love.

A spruce youngster, with his darling,
who came from the regions west Of Ar
eanum, to take look OF the bright
feature Of Dayton, Ohio, were standing
near the ticket office at the depot, one
evening recently, waiting for the do
parture OF ths train which was to take
them home. It was cool and dreary, and
tha temperature was touching up the
girls cars and nose with blending of
purple and red. "Look here, Josh %

Burning of Gin Houses.

The Sauannoh NcacS estimates that
"from the lst of September, 1874, to the
lst of September, 1875, ninety-eight
gin houses were burned in Georgia, and
of these, three-fourths were destroyed
by the torch of the incendiary. 1t is
probable-nay, it is certain-that sever
al gin houses were burned in sections
too remote for the fact to be chrOnicled
in the newspapers, and we may there
fore safely assume that during the cotton
year just closed, at least one hundred
gin houses were burned. Thus far, from
the first of september to the 30th OF
October, inst, we have chronicled the
burning Of fifteen, a majority of them
during the past ten days"
We suppose that South Carolina could
show as bad a record, and that a Abbevllle
will take rank among the chief mourn
ers. Last week we announced three in
cendiary acts occurring within our
County, and scarcely week passes but
that we are called upon to chronicle
similar cases. The evil is almost intol-
cradle, and demands the most earnest
efforts at prevention. The existing
puniShments are severe enough, but the
trouble is in finding out the guilty par
ties. Suitable rewards offered by the
State Government would do much to
correct the evil, which calls loudly for
some such interposition.

MIR. JAMES EVANS.
We Saved Him Forty Do,lars--HOw
This Amount May Be Invested
to Make Him Rich.

Our friend, Mr.. James Evans, who
runs the Marshall Mill industriously
night and day, was in town on Saturday
last He thanked US for what we had
said about well pumps, as it put him on
his guard. He thinks he would have
bought one if it had not been for what
we had said about them. He is the sort
of man to get rich. If he had not
been reader of the Press and Banner,
his forty dollars would soon be gone,
and the we'll pumps would be lying un-
der the hSuse, constant reminder Of
the wortXessness of well pumps. We
would say to him now, to invest all that
moneN in seed barley, and have his
handsStosow it in the richest land on
his plAce. This will furnish him green
feed Jpr every horse, mule, cow and calf
,on his place, and in the Spring he can
gather, at low estimate. twenty times
the amount of seed sown, which will
readily bring high price in cash. We
are afraid 10 put down any figures to
show what forty dollars in seed barley
would pay. 1t would seem fabulous.
You may say that it takes rich land to
grow barley,-admitted. Can you grow
anything pro6tably without rich land ?
If Mr.. Evans will SOW barley with the
forty dollars saved in we'll pumps, he
will be a rich man.

Q
Are You Doing Itf
BE QUIET. {"

We allude to the duty of sending
your children to schools duty which
is paramount to every other considera-
ton. Riches take to themselves wings
and fly away, but good education new
er. We have good schools, eminent
teachers moderate rates of tuition, leav-
ing no excuse at all for neglect in this
direction. The Male Academy, we are
happy to say, is under the direction OF
an excellent teacher, Mr.. D. G. Webb
of Charleston. Misses White and Liv-
ingston teach at the Female Academy,
with great satisfaction to their patrons:
These'schools should be filled up, and
they can be, for there is material enough
in and around the town to make them
large and remunerative, and it is a pity
to allow this material to run to seed in
idleness and ignorance. Parents, you
know not the injustice you are doing
your children by not using the means
and advantages at your command.
Send your children to school by all
means-to one or the other Of the above
SCHOOLS.

Monument to General Lee.

General Jubal A. Early, President O
the Lee Monument Association. writes
a letter to the Richmond Enquirer in
relation to the merging of that with
other organizations having the same
object in view, to wit: the erection of Il
statue to General Robert E. Lee, on
Capitol square. The popular idea no "
seems to be that the great captain Of the
Confederacy should be honored in the
most heroic style known to art-that is
by an equestrian statue, and this be-
cause, as the Enquirer says, the horse is
the symbol Of war and the complement
Of the soldier, and no military figure
appears to advantage unless mounted
and in full warlike panoply.
The English admirers Of Stonewal
Jackson have just placed u noble monu'
ment to his memory, on the Capito
square, Richmond, and the South should
show like devotion to its great chief:

The Exportation of Cotton Goods.

The expectation Of American calicoes
to Europe, which has been recently an
nounced, inaugurates a new era in the
manufacturing industry of this country,
land opens new field to stimulate the
enterprise of Southern manufacturers
specially. Here where the raw mate
rial is. cheap, and also labor and the
means of labor are expensive, the pro.
duction of cotton fabrics can be reduced
TO the lowest possible limit. Southern
manufacturers should give this great
change in the cotton goods market their
earnest attention, and make every effort
to push their products into this new
channel Of consumption. They should
bend every energy, in common with
the Eastern manufacturers, to make the
expectation of American cotton all un-
exampled success, and not mere prob
lematical effort on the part of the first
shippers. 1t is auspicious that this ini-
tial venture has turned out brilliant
and somewhat unexpected success.

The Elections.

The Democratic triumph in Mississ-
ippi is the one bright gleam to the dark
cloud of disaster; for though they carry
the States of New YorA Virginia, and
Maryland, there is in this no matter fol-
boasting. 1t is idle TO speculate as to
the causes of the defeat, when every.
thing is so much rapt in uncertainty
1t is more profitable to turn to the prob
able results of the late disaster. 1t de-
stroys Tilden's chances, and makes the
election of any Democrat extremely
doubtful. 1t relieves the Republicans
of the necessity of sustaining Grant,
and makes the third term' remote
contingency. 4 matter for congratula-
ton is the defeat of the Tammany Ring,
in New York city, under the lead OF
Boss Kelly.

correspondent, who strikes squarely
from the shoulder. Hear him.
"Let us give no liens for other people;
let US pursue more independent course;

ate our surplus lands to small grains OF
all kinds. If you have not sown red
oats, commence at once and continue to

implement. I have known ten acres

twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre.

Mr. joseph Allen, Of Greenvilie.

In our notice of the Anderson Fair
last week we unintentionally omitted
to mention the presence of our friend,
Mr.. Joseph Allen, of the firm of Alex
ander, Allen d McBce, Of Greenville,
who had on exhibition some of the finest
leather and the best harness that we
have ever seen. Mr.. Allen will be
recognised as an Abbeville man. Many
years ago when he was a boy, and
when we were a little fellow, We used
to meet in the hall of the Sons of Tenn
perance at Due West. Joe has kept his
temperance pledge, and we have kept
ours. He is now an active and substan-
tial citizen of Greenvlile and is part
owner of that valuable tannery and
harness manufactcry in that city. He
is growing rich, anil is in high favor
with the Greenvi!le people. Success at

The ScaSOn.-What we Should Do.

There are numerous causes, aside from
the atmosphere, to indicate that winter
is hard by. Natures sombre livery, as
well as the almost leafiess branches, tell
us to prepare for the blasts, the sleets
and the SHOWS Of hoary winter, for it
will soon he here, with all its rigorous
train. In view of its near approach, 1t
behooves householders to lay in their
supplies Of fuel while they can do so,
and there is one other duty which de-
wolves upon the whole community to
see to that is, to SOW large quantities
of barley and oats for our stock. Bar
ley is the best green crop for feeding
stock of all kinds. After that crop has
been exhausted the oats crop comes.

LIFE INSURANCE.
How it is Managerial New Dodge.

The people should know why SO
many good men lately seem to have
taken so much interest in life insurance.
The people in various parts Of the State
have suffered so severely and bought
their wisdom SO dearly on this subject
that they are, almost unanimously. CIV
ing up all that they have paid, and are
fully satisfied to seek other investments,
and the companies are compelled to
seek new mode for bolStering up this
monstrous swindle. The companies
generally employ the shrewdest and
then thoroughly drill them for their
work, and tell them the most plausible
means of securing their ends. The
latest dodge, that we have heard of, is
to organize local board at each village
or Court House town of the most prom
inent men that can be begged into the
organization. They f1atter each indi-
vidual by telling him be is just the
man the Company wants. They need
his influence, knowing him to ne sub
stantial and influential man, &C., &C.,
and finally offer him as a remuneration
for the use of his name commission on
certain policies, which will make his
own insurance cost him but little. AT
which they make some exceedingly lib
ceral offers to insure the local editor, and
then he, to remunerate them, will in
some instances sound the praises OF the
ends to be accomplished by these well
laid schemes, instead of considering the
interests of the country and sounding
the alarm at the approach of these cor
morants who prey upon the vltals, ana
who, like the vampire, drink up our
very hearts blood.
This same story of "b!arney" is told
By the agents until the desired number
of names are secured TO organize local
board, and life insurance receives new
impetus, and they issue circular show
ing that our Southern people have al
ready lost millions in enriching North
.ern companies, and then so on to give
the impression that the individual in
:surer may make it all back off Il poor
Southern Company.
We do not assert that ercry board is
organised as above, but we do assert that
such efforts have been made.
