INSURANCE..
T.. IL. ACLI.,
President.

Few people have any idea how big Il
drain on the State insurance is and all
the money goes out Of the State. Up
to recently there were no home organ
iZutions. \ business man does not feel
altogether comfortable unless he has
some protection against fire and all
prudent business men carry some insur-
ancc. For otherwise a fire might come
along and in II night sweep away the
earnings Of years Of hard toll. We be"
licvc in insurance. 1t is IL lcgit mate
business and the principle is right.
You pay for the risk and if 10y accident
fire should come you get some return.
The same way it is as to life insurance.
We look upon it as an investment. We
all strive to make something SO that
when our lnbors here are ended we
may leave something behind to those
who by nature are dependent upon us.
But why could not the South have some
of the money to be made out of the in
surance business. All the "old line"
as they arc termed, companies pay
enol nous salaries to ollccrs and own
the finest buildings in our large cities
and while We help to pay for it we re-
ceive but few Of the benefits, except, of
course, when there is Il loss or death,
but we mean from the profits on our
money out of the business we receive
nothing.
>t 1,N, lbNt 1tr
published by Gen. Norton giving the
business in the State of the various fire
and life companies during the past
year. The total insurance against loss
by fire written in this State last year is
$44 ,039, $40, and the premiums paid for
this insurance amount to 1896, ,4T2. The
losses paid were $2S2, ,G57, showing Il
profit to the insurance companies for
business done in this State of 1868, ,8lj.
The total life insurance written in
this State last year according to this
report was $l7 l25, Sl3. The premiums
on this amount to 1893, l49 while
the amounts paid on death losses
were $5S9,373, SO the companies paid
back in this State more than the prem
iums amounted to If VIC take into con-
sideration the commissions to agents,
but then there are large sums being
paid on insurance that was written be-
fore this.
For fire protection mutual company
should furnish the cheapest and just as
safe insurance as any other If properly
handled. 1t is on the right principle.
The cotton mills get their insurance in
this way at minimum of cost.

Washington, May Ex-senator Till
man will tone down his letter to Cover
nor Ellcrbe before he gives it out for
publication. The Senator today re-
ceivcd Il letter from the Governor ex-
planning why he refused to give it to
the press at Columbia. He called the
Senator's attention to certain state
mcnts in the original communications
which seemed to reflect quite harshly
upon certain Federal officials. Under
the circumstances the Governor con-
cluded that it would not be wise to
publish the letter exactly rs the Sena-
tor wrote it. Senator Tillman says he
docs not wish the impression to prevail
that he fears an investigation of his
connection with the aispcnsary, but in
Difference to the suggestions of the
Governor he will smooth OFF some of
the sentences in his letter and have it
published.

In the debate on Cuba in the United
States Senate on Wednesday it was dis
closed that several OF the United Statos
consuls who furnish information from
Cuba would likely he massacred If their
names we're made known. The Presi-
dent is observing the greatest secrecy
about the matter. There are no war
ships in Cuban waters to protect our
consu(s thero and if the names OF those
who furnish the United States informa-
tion should be made public they would
likely be put to death. We do not wish
to see any Of them put to death but we
would like to see the Spanish authori-
ties arrest some of them go that the
United States would have to fight
Spain, and thus help Cuba to gain her
independence.

Trumps from Various Quarters.

On list Saturday morning the under
signed set out with a friend on our way
to Rutherford Academy to take in the
closing exercises of Mr.. Luther Riscr's
school. The journey was pleasant but
an accident happened aboat mile
from the schoolhouse which might
have terminated seriously. Mr.. Willie
kibler and his sister, Miss Dollio, and
sistcr-in-law Mrs. James Kibler, who
were on their way to the school cxhi-
bition, lost control Of their mule which
ran away throwing them out of the
buggy and breaking Il shaft before he
could be stopped. Fortunately no one
was hurt.
AS we arrived at the sch0olhousc we
saw large crowd assembled which be-
tokened the interest which should
always be manifested on such occasions,
for nothing else shows SO plainly the
standing and progress of school and
the community in which it is situated.
The exercises were splendid. Dinner
was served about | o'clock, and If any
one "g0t lcft,' or in other words failed
to get his dinner it was his own fault.
In the evening the young folks enjoyed
themselves hugely, or some one was
putting on nightly, one or tothcr.
Later in the evening the undersigned
rode with friend across to ST. Phillips
community where live the kindcst and
most hospitnble PEOPLE in the world.
On Sunday morning our friend, Mr..
Tom Shcely, one Of the handsomest
youths in the land, ind whom the girls

the pleasure for the first time Of hear
ing Rev. McMorrics. We have often
heard of his ability rs Il preacher, and
were soon convinced that what we had
heard was very true. 1t was the first
time that we had ever been TO this
church, though having lived for scv-
eral years but few miles away.
