The way they lassoed the ours was a sight
worth witnessing. In most cities scoop
nets are employed for this purpose, but the
dog catchers of Butte are graduates of the

TheVdQeQ MdDeLaV Extensions as Conpal ihPdlp aaEIHags aIaggss

It is the custom of many companies to provide.
in their policies that upon discontinuance of
payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be
given without the option of extension. This
was the practice of the Union Mu, i before
the Maine Non-F Forfeiture Law was enacted,
but it now substitutes for paid-up values the
more advantageous plan of extended insurance.
The objection to the paid-up system is that the
amount of paid-up insurance which is given
upon the discontinuance of payments upon
policy, unless it has been in force great many
years is Insignificant and of little or no value
as protection; and it leaves the insured who
ceases payment without adequate insurance at
the very time he needs it the most
The great advantage of the extended insur-
ance afforded by the Maine Law over the most
liberal paid-up system is striklngly shown by
the following comparison, and it will be OBJ
served that the paid-up value is insignificant
in comparison with the amount actually PAID
by the Union Mutual. The result of two hun
dred and twelve policies was this:
If the insured had received paid-up
policies instead of extended in
surance, the Company would have
had to pay in settlement of the
claims only. S9S,l97.0O
Whereas, in fact, it did pay under
the Maine Law. .................. $4lS,3H.77

the only existing Company whose policies be the
MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW.

The Maine Nom Forfeiture law pro-
tects polices from forfeiture by reason
of default of payment of premiums.
1t provides that, after three years. pre-
miums haYe been paid, failure to pay
any subsequent premiums shall not
forfeit policy, but it shall continue
in force for its full amount until the
reserve (less small surrender charge)
upon the policy is exhausted.
The reserve isa sum made up of por-
tions of each and every premium paid
upon policy in anticipation of its
maturity. Beginning with a small
portion of the first premium, tits in
creased eacn year by the addition of
each subsequent premium, and grows
larger year by year, until, at maturity,
it exactly equals the face of the policy.
When policy is dis continued there
fore. there is in the lands of the Com
pany reserve greater or less, accord.
ing to the character and age of the
policy. Instead of permitting the Com
pany, upon non-payment of premium,
to confiscate this reserve, the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law requires the Com
pany to continue the policy in force
until the policy-holder receives an
equivalent for 1T in extended insur-
anCe.

BIG BLAzEINi BARNWFLL[.
About Four Thousand Dollars
Swept Away This Morning.

The Columbia Journal.
BARNwEL1, S. c., Aug. 26.-Fire
broke out in the rear of a barber
shop at six o'clock this morning
and the whole of Browns row was
swept with fire, except Browns
store building, at the extreme east
end, aud the building of the Bank
of Barnwell, on the extreme west.
Each of the intervening buildings,
belonging to 4. Ellis. Mra. M. G..
Woodward, Peter st. Claire and

excellent work of the citizens
alone saved the bank, Brown
House and Browns store building
from being destroyed. The loss
aggregates about four thousand
dollars. No insurance SO far as

$4,000 in a jug.

Winston Sentinel.
The tight times bring out many
oddFthings. A banker who had an
acqua intance in Alamance county
went to him to borrow money. The
collaterals offered were of such
character that the countryman
couldn't resist, and taking the
banker to the attic, rolled out an
old jug. The handle was broken
off and there was a corn cob stop
per in it's mouth. Below a pile of
dried apples, the countryman
brought $1,000 in bills and coins,
that ne had boarded up for years
past. He got 1S per cent on the
loan.

South Carolina as a Fruit Grow.
ing State.

The following is from the New
York Sun of the 18th instant:
"The Californians are receiving
piles of money from New York
this year for the excellent fruits
with which they supply our mar
kets, and which get here lbefore
those of any other State. There
has been, within a few years, a
surprising growth of the city's
consumption of California oran-
ges and lemons, apples end pears
peaches and grapes, plums and
prunes, besides wines of all kinds.
AS fruit-growing State Califor-
MIA cannot be surpassed, and New
York has become her best market,
a far better ono this year than in
any other. Our Southern brethren
except the Georgians, who raise
melons, do not embrace the op-
portunity offered them for sup
plying this great city with the
choice fruits which ripen early up
on their soil. They lose. money by
their negligence-millions of mon
ey year. There is South Carolina,
for example, which might grow
rich upon the fruit trade with
New York, and might even send US
green figs to her advantage. The
Southerners are not as enterprising
as the Californians in this line
of business, though their landlies
nearer to us than the land on the
Pacific.N
"We have spoken on this sub
ject once or twice before, but the
Southerners, excepting the water
melon raisors of Georgia, do not
seem to comprehend it very
clearly"

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the mount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Conpany's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be we'll worth
doing -ithout it. The architect whose
cor we pan fora club house
ON q ceri. n corner is not accepted has
snent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents a simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company;s competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
Mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars. -
may be judged from the fact that it's
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

Another Very Interesting Letter
from DIR. Zimmerman.

DEAR ADVERTISER: Edgefeld
has two other representatives at
HilIman in the persons of Messrs.
S. T. Williams and T. S. Lewis.
The personel of our hotel boarders
changes every two or three days.
Some go and others come in to fill
their places.
Since 1 have been here / have
availed myself of an opportunity
to make visit to the old town of
Washington, the late residence of
one of Georgia's great state7men
Gen. Robert Toombs, who, if you
remember, came over to Edgefeld
i'll 1853 and made a speech in the
Academy grove. Gen. A. c. Haskell
spoke there also and advised, fool
ishly, the starving out of the Rad
icals. Gen. Toombs told the peo-
pie that they could not do it-that
"they would live on rock"
I saw the TO ombs residence, now
occupied by one of. his grand
children and family. Wilkes
county in which Washington is
located was laid out in 1777 and
Washington is the first town in the
United States that took the name
Of the father of his country, and
is the third town, 1 am told, estab-
lished in the State, and the first to
erect a brick building. Some por-
ton of the old courthouse, used
nearly q century ago, is still used,
though the building has been en-
larged -a1d improved; situated in
the public square, it does not pre-.
sent Q very attractive appearance,
when compared to the many im-
posing private residences in the
place.

The storm of last Sunday night,
so disastrous in Charleston ard
elsewhere, did little damage in our
town, although frightful in the ex-

ing that their houses might be
blown over. The following is.the
chapter of accidents:
A tree was blown on a negro

A railroad guard, in giving his
varied experience said, 81 remem-

I noticed at once, that she was ul-
familiar with travel, and as our

place at that hour of night, and
she would have to wait until Z
o'clock for the up train, 1 thought
I would caution her before reach

about making new acquaintances.
When we reached the city suburbs,
in passing through the car taking

saloons and the whisky gang for
years. They are the the meanest
and most Internal set that the

to accomplish their ends and
satisfy their greed. In the fight
