The Essen!c order is one of the Oldest
mystic orders IN the world. The Essences
were originally one of the three principal
Jewish sects. The first mention of them
is by Josephus, about the middle of the
second century before Christ. They We're
at that time classed with the Sadducees
and Pharisees, and We're remarkable for
their strictness ana abstinence.
The mission Of the Essenes, in common
with that OF the members of the ancient
Grccian mysteries" was to restore man s
soul to that state from whence it fell,
as from its native seat of perfection. ~

The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company writes a policy that for
liberality, clearness and absence of all
hard 20 understand insuTa nce terms, will
commend itself to any liberal-minded
thinking, business man. The policy con-
tains in black and white the amount of
cash, as well as paid up surrender value,
available any year after the first.
The paid up alues are binding on the
company, without action on the part Of
the insured and the cash value can be
claimed any year after the first.
This is in accordance with the laws of
Massachusetts.
Unlike other policies, the Massachu-
sets MutuaPs policy contains no time
limits within which to apply for the equity
desired, failing which the policy holder
Is compelled to accept some condition
more favorable to the company; these
time limits are often overlooked or neg
lected. No unnecessary restrictions are
contained in the contract and the paid
up policies of the Massachusetts Mutual
participate in dividends during their exs
istence and constantly increase in cash
value. Paid up policies in most com
panles are on-participating.
Dividends in life insurance depend on
the mortality experience of the company
nevertheless the dividends of the Massa-
chusetts Mutual have been regular and
whose dividends are up one year and down
the next. These dividends have been paid
each year, to the satisfaction of many
of our best business men, for many years
past.

BUSINESS MEN TAKE 4 HAND
To Aid the Drummers in Securing IN
interchangeable Ticket.


a meeting OF business men was held at
the office Of Meinhard Bros. & Co. yester-
day afternoon, pursuant 10 a call of the
savannah branch of the Travellers Pro-
tective Association, for the purpose OF
indorsing and encouraging the efforts of
the committee Of the Travellers Protect
i've Association to obtain the issuing OF
a 5,o00-mile interchangeable railroad
ticket at . cents per mile, good over
any railroad In the southern association,
and also an increase from $50 TO 800 pounds
I'm baggage allowance.
The meeting was largely attended by
representative business men. Capt.
Beirne Gordon was made chairman. and
Mir. Louis i. Grouse secretary. A COM
mlttee was appointed, consisting OF Capt
Gordon, Mr.. ". +. Scherff and Mr.. l.. p.
Grouse, 10 draft a communication to be
addressed to Mr.. r. A.. Smith, chairman
of the Travellers Protective Association
committee, urging him 10 use every effort
TO obtain the desired result, at "a hearing
which will be accorded him by the South
ern Passenger Association at Atlanta
May -.
This is an important matter to all
houses employing travelling men, and the
concessions asked for, II granted will
prove of great value to them.
The travelling men have been making
an effort for the last several years to
secure a 5.000-mile interchangeable ticket
from the railroads. The effort has been
recently renewed and there appears to
be some prospect Of success. The trav-
cling men have found that the influence
OF the business men will be of great
weight in the endeaVor they are making,
and it is for this reason that the aid of
the business men is now being sought
and secured. II rs believed that the rail-
roads VIII give more heed TO the requests
of their largest patrons than they have
heretofore given TO the petitions of the
travelling men.

ON THE RIGHT LINE.
What Some Of the Commissioners
Think About the Grand Jury Pre-
continents


The general presentments Of the super
Tor court grand jury which has just ad-
journed for the term have attracted
Widespread attention and have been care
fully read by many who are interested in
the cOunty's affairs.
Mr.. J. A. G. Carson vice-chairman Of
the county commissioners said that the
grand jury seemed TO have gone fully into
the matters coming within its jurisdiction
and altogether he thought II the best set
Of prese mtments the county has ever mad
Mr. Carson was especially interested IN
what was said on the road question: he IS
in favor OF issuing bonds, ne SAID, Dut II
cannot be done he thinks, until the TO
fence law has been established. Unless
there Is some guarantee that the WoIk
done is not to be destroyed by loose cattle
Mr.. Carson said ne did not see how the
county could well afford TO issue ponds
for roads and drainage.
With regard TO a board Of public works,
he said he favored such step, but ala
not care to say in just what manner such
an idea might best be carried out lie
thought by all means the county map
should be completed. as a good tOpOgraph-
ical map must necessarily be OF muon
benef1t TO the county. lie tnougnt the
county road work should be done on plans
laid out by the county engineer and I'M
der his direction. MT. Carson said that as
the grand jury had sent copy OF the
presentments to the commissioners OH
Cially, ne thought they should be taken up
ana acted on in detail.
Commissioner kehoe said with regard
TO a board of public works that he
thought il would perhaps be a good
idea but he did not believe the members
If sucn a board should receive any more
salary than the commissioners receive.
He thought three good men could be
found. who would have leisure time TO
attend to such work provided they had
under them one good salaried official.
He said the matter OF issuing bonds Tor
the road and drainage work should be
submitted to the people at the fence or
no fence election in July He thought an
expression should be had from the people
on that matter as early as possible. He
thought there should be some way If pos
sible to reduce the county budget in
stead of increasing it,
Chairman Dale did not want to talk
about the presentments. He was of the
opinion that such board of public works
as was suggested might be q good thing.
II is well known however, that he has
all along taken a stand against the is
suing of bonds, and against the county
map.
Commissioner Charlton, as is well
known, favors a bond issue for the pur-
pose of making good roads and building
up the drainage system. He said, also,
that he favored completing the county
map. The grand jury presentments will
be brought up at the next meeting OF the
commissioners, where they Will no doubt
be a cause of considerable discussion.

WE are informed by IN eastern con-
temporary that there are over fifteen
thousand brass bands in this country
There is scarcely a town which does
not possess such an organization for
veal or for woe-usually for woe.
Usually the merchants and wealthy
men contribute toward furnishing the
instruments. Frequently they wish
they had not done SO. The brass band
furnishes the music of the people. 1t
has always been and always will be so.
The orchestra appeals more to those of
higher musical culture. This brass
bandism, if such an expression can be
allowed, was engcndercd by the mill
tary bands during the war, and the
late Pat Gilmore, the father Of brass
band music in America, brought it al
most to perfection.

FASCINATING.

Doubtless thousands of young
people and not a small rumb cr Of
old ones, wish every day of their
lives that they could |. arm the
secret of fascinating others by
means of their graceful, cqtilslte
manners. The secret is All open
one. 1t is SO easy to learn that
titles all neglected by the way
side, while they who would give
their dearest treasure to find it
pass unknowing.
1t is only this: Fill your heart
with good will to everybody, and
then practice at all times the best
manners you know, particularly
at home. If you begin at home,
this charming manner will, SO to
speak, get settled on you and
never leave you. Be just as pc
lite to your sister as you would
to your best girl. Strive to gain
the good will of mother, father
and brothers and sisters and
children exactly as you strive to
gain good will abroad.
There is no place for practlc-
ing manners like the home cir
Gle; no place, permit me to say
where it will be SO appreciated.
1t will be a cultivation OF heart,
mind and body, this endeavor to
feel nothing but affection for the
people athone and treat them as
though they were worthy as
much consideration at your
hands as if they were the Presl-
dent and his family. So they
are worthy. Then from the home
will float out around you those
sweet magnetic influences which
will draw the hearts of mankind
toward you.
