Dots from the Dark Corner.


DEAR ADVERTISER: L have tried
in vain to get some one more COM
petent than myself to give you
some dots from Dark Corner, but
my efforts have proved futile,
therefore it has fallen to my lot to
make. my maiden effort. In the
meantime I fear it will go to the
waste-basket. I will try, however,
to give you something that may be
interesting to some one.
We are at this writing having
some heavy rain, which will ma
ture the corn crop, the best by the
way that has been raised in this
locality for years. At the same
time fears are entertained that the
continued wet weather will dam
age the cotton crop, which is very
fine, in fact the best, at present,
for the past ten years. The farm
ers are exultant over the prospects
of being able to pay out this fall
and have few dollars left, be-
sides have corn enough to carry
them through next year. A great
many of our farmers have pro6ted
by the experience of former years,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1893-08-17
the existing Company whose policies subject the
MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW.
WHAT TT U.s.:

The Maine Non-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 Isl 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 discontinued there
fore. there is in the hands of the Com
pany a 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.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1893-08-17
HOW TT WORKS !:

II a person, aged 35, pays three
years. premiums upon a twenty pay
ment Life policy and then discontinues
payment, the policy will be continued
4 years and 257 days longer; if he pays
five premiums, and then discontinues,
the insurance will continue z years and
357 days longer.
II the policy is twenty year en-
dowment, same age, three years. pay
ments will give an extension of 8 years
and $50 days; five years. payment 13
years, 300 days. If the policy is l5
Year Endowment, ($1, 1,0O0) same age,
three years payments will secure In
surance to the end of the endowment
period and $13.88 in cash if insured
lives till that time, and in like manner.
! ten years payment secures insurance
for the full 5years and $685.. IL In cash..
These extensions vary withthe age
of the insured, the class of policy, and
the number Of payments made; they
are stated in each policy, IN years and
days, for each number of payments, so
that the policy-holder knows at
glance exactly what he is entitled to if
he discontinues his payments at any
time.

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 amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company'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 well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents 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 it's 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 aud popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars
The responsibility Of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers Of the
United States.

THE CHOI IERAIC SITUATION
Progress of the Pestilence in
New York Bay.

QUARANTINE, S. l., Aug. 13.-At
9 p. M. Health Officer Jenkins is
sued the following cholera bulle-
tin:
Two suspects were isolated at
Hoffman Island early this morn
ing, but owing to the rough weather
in the lower bay were not removed
Ete swinhprne: Island Hospital. If
The wind mod derates they will be
transferred during the night. They
are Maria Reno, aged four years,
Pasquale De Padro, aged fifteen
years. The psychological exam
ination shows that Guiseppi Adamo
who was removed yesterday is suf-
fering from cholera, and that
Francisco Caiolo, Paolo Marini
and Georquis have not developed
the disease.
The census of the hospital to-
night shows: Cholera patients, ID;
patients not having cholera, 81;
convalescent, 4; suspects. on Hof-
man Island, 2. Total, 20. All Of
the patients are improving. The
disease is mild in character. Two
more nurses were sent to Swim
burn Island to-day.
The steamer Helena arrived to-
day from Genoa. All were well on
board. All the steerage passengers
had been detained five days at that
port and their baggage was disin-
fected before embarkation. The
cabin passengers were examined
and provided with passports, on
which was a written statement of
their route of travel for ten days
before arriving, so that detentions
on the railroads may be avoided.
The vessel was. disinfected and
allowed to proceed after the exam
ination of the storage passengers.

The cotton crop OF this year,
according to the Augusta Chronicle,
will bring into the United States
$20O,000,000 in gold. There will
be plenty of money, too, tomove
the cotton crop. Wall street un-
derstands the situation. AS soon
as cotton begins to move actively
the balance Of trade, as between
this country and Europe, will
rapidly turn in our favor. Gold
will pour in for our cotton and the
financial situation will be greatly
improved. ~
