Our readers will remember that

History Of Great Commercial Family
Extending Through ceaturiss.
Two centuries ago there lived at Bre-
men, in Germany, a pastor Of the Lnth-
eran church named Franz Barring, or
Baering. In those days, says Spare
Moments, the ministers Of his order
might be men Of great learning, but
their circumstances were at the best
moderate. His son, John Barring, went
to England and established himself as
clothmaker near Exeter, in Devonshire.
From the ranks Of the cloth diapers and
the linen drapers, quite asoften as from
among the goldsmiths, the merchants
and bankers were then recruited. John
Barings son, Francis, born III i740, was
sent at an early age to learn the tart,
trade and mystery" Of a merchant, and
before he died he made himself, by con-
sent, the first merchant in the world
He was director in the Honorable
East Indian Company, then one Of the
highest rewards to which merchant
might hope to attain; for time he was
the great company's chairman; for
twenty-five years he sat In parliament,
then a far more exclusive body'than il
has become under the extended suf-
frage; in 1903 he was made baronct;
in 1910 he died. But his first title tc
honor Is that he founded the house oi

Life Insurance Companies Issue Them
Only I'm Europe and Central America.
The policies written by some Of the
leading life insurance companies Of
this country are incontestable for any
cause whatsoever. II a policy holder
commits suicide Immediately after pay
ing his first premium, and before the
ink is dry on his policy, his heirs will
receive the money just the same, That
is because the companies know that
life is the most precious possession of
every individual, and that very few in
deed will throw It away in order to
benefit an heir. The 'sincontestahle
clause" is found, however, only inithe
American policies. Those issued to
Europeans, Central Americans and
South Americans do not have them.
One Of the chief ofiicials.of a leading
company recently said to a reporter
for the New York Sun:
nAll our foreign policies are written
anbject to cancellation. 1t is true we
discover very little fraud among the
European policy holders, but that il

bic to occur at any moment. Europe
is always on the brink of great war
and if we should write incontestable
policies there,we might be ruined any
time. In the Central and South Amer
lean states revolutions are in progress
all the time. II our policies were mo-

THE GREAT INLAND oIry.



nomenal Growth.
A generation ago, says the London
Spectator, America consisted of the
settled northeastern and southeastern
states and of the great expanse OF
more or less wild continent behind
them. Year by year, however, the
population has been spreading west
and every fresh census has pushed m
land the mean line of population
the line on either side of which the
population is equal. The significance
Of this gradual withdrawal Of the mean
population line from the coast must
not be missed. The fact means that
the Anglo-Saxons in the United States
are becoming what they have never
been before in their history, an inland
people.
In very little time the vast major
ity Of Americans will not only have
never seen the sea, butwill never have
been within thousand miles ofit The
destiny of the American people is to be-
come as much a people of great inland
plains as the Russians, and this fact
will be made clear to the world when
travellers leave the ocean at New
York, and after travelling inland over
q thousand miles find themselves in q
city as big as Vienna, and ten times as
rich and energetic.
The existence of a great city so far
removed from the sea is probably
unique in the worlds history. Delhi
in the days of its greatest prosperity
had no doubt a very large population,
but unless Moscow can be called great
we can recall no other great city Of an
cient or modern times situated i'm the
heart of q continent It may he said
that Chicago is an exception only in
name, and that 1t could never have
achieved the position IT has achieved
but for the fact that 1t is situated or
the shores Of great double-armed in
4 land sea. No doubt the great lakes
have helped Chicago, and no doubt
also the fact that they require from
the populations which surround then
all the sea-faring qualities Of the Eng
lish race will prevent its inhabitants
from becoming too inlandish in theil
habits.
Chicago, however, is not enough IL
the middle of the continent to holt
forever the position Of the typica
American city. As the center of popu
lation shifts westward her relative po
sition will decline, and she will ulti
mately have to give way to som'
younger rival in the west and south
possessed of q geological position mor'
suited to the commercial capital of |
nation of some two hundred million
OF inland people. Still, as we have sai'
above, Chicago for the time will serv
as an object lesson in regard to tn
great change which has come over tn
conditions under which the American
continent is inhabited.

but we do not know whether
it is absolute or whether it is
optional. A tax of two mills

If the magistrates III the

mount great complaint will
be made. If the law was

Onsly executed it might be a
good Ia " but great caution
must be observed. A good

tion in each township have
been appointed magistrates
and will have charge of this
law. So we will have to hldp
our time and s ,e what is in

we are now living under re.

for there are magistrates in
nearly every well regulated

The p. ice OF Cotton in 1S4S.

We nre indebted to Robert
A. Carter, Esq. ofAnsonville
township for a bill for six
bales OF cotton sold by the
late John McLendon, of this
county. to LaCost & Evans,
at Cheraw, in Sept, 1S48.
From the bill it appears that
Mr.. McLendiOn received 5h
cents for the cotton, and that
he paid 10 cents a pound for
sugar and 20 cents Il yard
for bagglng. From this it will
he seen tina. the price of cot
ton in 1S4S was just about
the same as it is now, while
the price of other comnodi-
ties were very much greater.
The difference ia that in those
days our farmers raised all
their supplies ut home, and
cotton was planted only in
sufficient quantities to meet
their comparatively few needs
for ready money. Our forefn-
theirs plOspered under this
system, and there is no rea.
son to believe that we, the
descendants, cannot make
both ends meet by copying
after them in this respect
