WHY SQDANDER MONEY IN UFE
INSURANCE?
s1l,0oo,00O Of Our Money Gone Down
in that Serbonian Bog;

The Address of the Board of Trustees
of the Southern Life Insuraaee Com
lany makes the following startling an
nounceinent, which goes to prove, from
Official sources, the truth of our state
lnert last Summer, that our people fool
ishly squander immense amounts of
money. in q business Of which they
know nothing. Ii is estimated that Of
away by the people of the State Of South
Carolina, that the people of Abbevilie
County have contributed over half q
million. It would seem that Abbeville
has bought enough Of experience In this
patter. How much better would it be
for our County, If this money had been
invested in home com eSrts, edu-.ation,
the naymeut of honest debts, or in the
erection of Factories? Life insurance,
like the lottery. 10 q matter of chance,
in which few may via, hut by far the
greater majority lose. Hear what the
Committee say:
( " Since the ,rar, South Carolina has
:" paid to Northern LasarGnce Conpa-
"nies oper eicrcn million dollars in &C.
cess Of all amounts paid back on
l." death 1ooticies."
The Committee say nothing of the
vast amount of money which our peo.
pie have wasted on Southern Compa-
nies, whose chief claim upon the peo.
pie, it would seem from their advertise.
ments, >;s the fact that tAcy are South
crn Companies. This address appeals
to sectional feeling. 1t is too late now
TO make such speeches. We are all one
people, with a common interest, and if
our people will have insurance, they
should inquire more into the solvency
t'san -izsAasle location Of the Office
Busi-lnto tlpusiness.

PUMPS IN WELLS

Pumps have been in use from time
immenlorial, and there has not been the
slightest Improvement in the valve for
the past century. Periodically agents
supply our people with pumps that will
last ten, twenty or thirty years, or
perhaps for lifetime. In little
while, however, it is found that there
are insurmountable objections to hav-
ing a pump i'm we'll from which we
draw drinking water. The pumps per-
haps will perform, but if the water
tastes Of the pump, will our friends
like it better than those who have tried
pumps before? Another cause Of trouble
is, that the we'll is shut closely and no
ventilation is given. BY the use of the
bucket the top is kept more or less open
and the air in the well is agitated and
the stagnant air is lifted out, when pure
mir takes its place. We will risk our
Judgment in the assertion that for home
consumption no better or more satisfac-
tory means of raising water from we'll
shas eyer been discovered than the
bucket, rope and windlass. A certain
smount of pure air is absolutely neces-
ssary in a well to have pure water. We
all know that in closely covered well
how soon poisonous gases may generate.
With a wet pump in damp atmos
phere, from where the SUMS rays are
excluded, is it unreasonable to suppose
that the pump will sour and the air be-
come impure. DO we not sun our wa
ter-buckets to keep them pure? Then
does not pump need the same? we
predict that second pumps car bought
very cheap next Spring. They are gen
orally soon thrown out.

THE CALIFORNIA FAILURE. - The
failure of the. Bank of San Francisco,
With its capital <cf s$5, 900, 900, and the
suicide Of its President; w. {. Rolston,
are the events of the past week. The
career of the President reads like q
chapter of romance, and furnishes re-
markable exhibition of one of the
phases of American life. Here was a
poor boy of Pennsylvania, beginning
life as a shoemaker, then serving as u
steamboat clerk, then going into the
mining business in Nevada, and finally
landing in California, where he became
financial prince, ruling with the pow.
er Of desIot.- and lArishing untold
thousands with. the recklessness Of u
Notwithstanding princely country
seat a magnificent bank editice, and q
mammoth hctel - identifying himself
with every great commercial scheme and
using the mamoth capital Of his bank.
and his own princely fortune to control
the stock market-when suddenly the
bubble burst, and ruin and death ensue.
Such are the fruits of that spirit of spec
uiation which gre" up ar the North and
Northwest during the war, and from
which we at the South have been in a
measure exempt.

AntreVille Items.

Drafts is very fashionable game at
Autrevile. The Postmaster is the
champion player.
Ed. K, of Negro Lick, has formed an
affinity with the monkey at the Centre
of Gravity.
Mr.. VIM. Taggart, our mail agent, de-
serves credit for his promptness in hav-
ing the mai carried to Antreville.
The Marble Club at the Centre of
Gravity is increasing in number. Some
of the paler brethren have Joined, and
act as umpire.
We learn that whiskey shop is to be
established at the Centre of Gravity.
What next?
The King of Antrevillc has erected
swing at his marble club, for the benefit
of the ladies' who attend.
Items are devilish SCARCE at present.
No body dead, no body sick, no body
married, no body run off, no body has
been shot, every body is pulling fodder t;
so we have no fun.
The Major is breaking up land now.
He is like Samson. doing more at his
death than he has done in all his past
life.
Enocll has lost all hopes of marrying,
and will lead single life--but not from
choice. Remember, Enoch, that "thcy

Mae, of Rocky Mingo, says green

The war is ended. Some of the fight

bound over to keep the peace for twelve
months and one day. So We will have
peace, "the spears will he turned into
pruning hooks, and the swords into
ploughshares, and .Antreville illlearn
war no more.
The school at the Centre of Gravity
has closed. The teacher will spend the
remainder of the year in the store at that
place. HIe will add to the responsibility
of the concern.
The king has answered the letter that
he received. 1t is Ill able produc ton,
worthy the head of an older man than
the king. He says:
Dear Darling Loved One - Yours of
recent date has been received, and con-
tents noted. Dear, tongue can't express
the height of rapture that thrilled my
breast us l perused line after line of

Tanning at the South.

The Sur0nnuh NcVs contains q com.
munication from an experienced and
suScessiul leather manufacturer urging
the establishment Of tanneries ut the
South and giving some interesting facts
to show the profits of the business. lie
says:
"The extent of the leather manufac-
turing business in this country is very
slightly appreciated, even by those di'
rectly engaged i'm it. Few are aware
that it is only second to any other manu-
featuring business in the United States.
and that the yearly production of leath,,
er amounts to the enormous sum OF
$l5O, ,OOO, 900, while the statistics of 1870
show the amount of capital invested in
the manufacture of leather to be over
S7O, ,UOO, 900, which paid a net profit OH
the capitol of 33 per cent. SeVen-elghtss
of the leather prodnced in the United
Statca is manufactured in the Eastern
States. New York and Massachusetts
produce thrce-fourths Of the gross
amount of leather manufactured, and if
YOU will take the trouble to examine
the statistics little further you will see
that Georgia's portion of the net profit
paid to tie North on this leather pro-
duet alone Ito say nothing of other man
ufactures) would soon pay off the state
debt.
He insists upon the great advantages
enjoyed by the South over the North,
for the successful prosecution of the tan
merry busincss-states that bark ana su-
mac are abundant here and that the tan
mic acid which is obtained from shrubs
and other Vegetables is goood substitute
for that obtained from bark, and far SUI
perior to the chemicals to which the
Northern manufacturer is now compell-
ed to resort, and which impairs the
quality of his leather, and alludcs to
other ndvantagcs-of favorable climate,
first cost of the raw material, the home
demand for leather, the cheapness of
subsistence, &c.-all of which 60 to con-
firm the opinion that no manufacturing
or industrial enterprise at the South Of
fers greater inducements for investment
than that of the manufacture of leather:
We would be eglad to see an impetus
given to this branch of industry by the
of skilled labor from
abroad.

The Trade of Charleston.

The News and Courier publishes Al,
elaborate report upon the trade and com
merce of Charleston for the commercial
wear of 1S74-'75, which shows uneXam.
pied progress for South Atlantic sea-
port, and furnishes ample ground fol
confidence and hope. The Nc'cs ana
Courier, in commenting on the report
says -
beginning with the staple articles o
produce, we find that Charleston, during
the past year, received 50,265 casks OF
spirits Of turpentne and 225, ,957 barrels
Of rosin, an increase of 0,265 casks and
IS ,957 barrels as compared with 1S73-'84
This business in naval stores has grown
up since 1S65-'66, in which year the to-
tai exports were 80, 1876 barrels. The re-
ceipts of rice in the year now past were
3,l29 tierces more than in the previous
year. OF this staple, the famous Caro-
lima rice, Charleston has virtually mo-
nopoly, anu the receipts are determined
by the amount produced. The phos-
phate business has continued to grow.
For the year the exports of crude phos-
pilates were no less than 81 see tons, and
the exports from Bull River and Port
Royal VIRTUALLY Charleston business)
swell the grand total to l02,046 tons.
This is against tons in 1867 and II 1862
tons in 1868. These phosphates are
found in the Charleston basin, are mined
by Charleston companies, and, when
washed free Of dirt, are ready for ship
ment. Another branch of this impor-

phosphates and their conversion into
commercial fertilizers. This likewise
is done in an about Charleston, and 1t IS
estimated that at least 10000 tons of
crude phosphate were SO manufactured
last year. Some idea of the magnitude
of this business may be obtained from
the fact that 0,000 tons Of commercial
fertilizers, valued at two million dollars,
were shipped from Charleston last year.
The phosphate companies make their
own sulphuric acid, and, in point OF
equipment and skillful management,
have no equals in this country. In the
lumber trade there has been a marked
decline, due to general and not local
causes"
AS cotton port Charleston maintains
and improves her condition, and now Is
the third cotton port of the country.
The News and Courier indulges the
most glowing anticipations Of the future
greatness Of the city in view Of the va
ried character of her business, and upon
the broad basis Of cotton, rice, naval
stores, lumber, crude and manufactured
phosphates, fruits and vegetables, gro
ceries, dry goods, clothing and drugs,
not to speak of shipbuilding and general
manufactures, fouuds its hopes Of steady
growth anu an enlarged prosperity.

Celebration of the Good Templars at
at Lower Long Cane Church.

An interesting celebration Of the
Good Templars, consisting of speeches
and picnic dinner, and attended by
large accessiops to their ranks, was held
at the Lower Long Cane Church on
Saturday last A very large audience
numbering five or six hundred persons
were present, and the exercises were of
4 very Interesting character. After
prayer hy the Rev II. II. Sloan, speech
cs were made by Messrs. +. f.. Truwitt,
JAS II. Horton, VIM. Il. Bradley, jr.,
VIM. Weed, and Mr.. Sloan. The
speeches were of an excellent character
and seemed to have good effect upon
the audience, as the accession of sixty
new members to the order is the best
evidence of successful results.
Mr.. Truwitt in his speech told an an
ecdote of himself--that he had been
asked lately by q young lady, whether
he had ever been druuk-thst he advis-
ed her to hear his speech, and as she
was present would answer now-that
on one occasion. at friends house, he
ate so freely Of brandy peaches, that he
helped himself to all the biscuits on the
table, and left the young lady and the
audience to say whether he was drunk
Dr not.
Mr.. Horton paid some handsome com
pliments to the ladies, which called
forth the remark that one who could
say so many good things in their favor
might be tempted to change his condi-
ton.
Mr.. Sloan said that the duty had been
assigned him ito put up the gaps' left
by other speakers, but that they had
done 50 we'll that nothing was left for
him to do.
The dinner was bounteous one, and
such royal feast rs these people know
how to provide The initiation of the
members will take place on Saturday
next. The Order is doing a glorious
work, and merits the highest sympathy
and co-operatisn.
We are indebted to Mr.. NJ. y. McCas-
lan for the above facts.
