A Pleasant Word.

Did you give one to the last person you metl'
If so, and that is your habit, you are to be con-
graduated, as are also all whom you meet. 1t
IS delightful habit, and one which all can
cultivate. The cost Of pleasant words is little
Their value is great. Children are hungry for
them. Weakness finds strength in them.
They inspire hope. They live in an atmos-
phere of sunniness and cheerfulness, and the
beft such and atmosphere They make OLD
hearts young and sad hearts glad. They wipe
tears away with touch as gentle as the hand
of an angel, and with commanding voice they
bid dependency begone
Pleasant words are pleasant both to speak
and to hear. They are neither coarse nor
harsh. They do not have metallic sound,
but rhythmic and musical. They suggest in
sound the song of birds and the laughter OF
childhood, and in spirit the rays Of sunshine
and zephyrs of natures choicest summer days.
They WOO and lull, and soothe and charm.
Their quality is balm ! their mission to heal.
Blessed, thrice blessed, pleasant words
They are most trny spoken when to speak
them is the habit of ones life. They are better
spoken by force than not at all, but their aroma
is most fragrant when they are uttered with a
spontaneity begotten of habit and when back
of them lies heart warm with the love OF
Jesus Christ.

A Lost Conscience.

Many are making war against their con-
science, and large number have conquered
man would be called fool if he were in q
dark mine or cavern and blow out the only
light he had and the one who kills his con-
science is no wiser. When conscience rebukes,
such man suppresses it and excuses and pal
liates his sin. And this is repeated day after
day, until conscience is throttled become quiet.
1t is a dreadful condition for man to get into
when be can do wrong and not feel ashamed ;
to do an in Justice and not know it. What is
wrong? That mans conscience was killed
and he attended not the funeral, because he
knew it not peither did he miss it, because he
had so little use for it.

Speedy Fair and Honorable Adjustment Of all Losses
RNh fgf1ilH why you should insure your
htANuND property with the Abbeville-
Greenwood Mutual Insurance
Association.

Association.
I. It is an Association of the people,
for the people and by the people, and we
have thoroughly demonstrated that mu-
tual insurance is practicable for and by
homefolks.
2. This Association insures against
"hre and lightning, cyclones, tornadoes
and wind storms, while capital comPan-
les insure against fire.
3. This Association has half a mil
lion dollars of property insured, and
since its organization has paid thirteen
thousand dollars of losses, at an average
annual assessment of one-half of one
per: cent, one-fifth of the cost of other
companies, and not in single instance
has it resorted to the aid of the Courts
to collect an assessment or to adjust a
loss.
q. By this plan you pay for the pro-
lection you have enjoyed in the past, and
if there is no loss, there is no expense;
while in other companies you pay in ad-
vance for protection you expect to get,
though may not get except paid for dear
ly by legal proceedings.
s. This plan is contract between
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into contract written by
the company, for the company, and
against you. You can read and un-
derstand the policy of this company.
Few understand an average insurance
policy.
6. Speedy, fair. and honorable adjust
ment of all losses of property are made
at assessed valuation when insured, with
no three-fourths clause attached. The
man who values your property is your
neighbor, who also adjusts your loss ;
while. in other companies, when you sus-
tain loss, stranger comes and looks
into the ashes and says what is to be
paid you.
7. You can with small expense insure
against fire, wind and storm, while a fire
policy is about all you can afford in the
old companies. You can enjoy the salts
faction of knowing that if your dwelling
is burned, it is insured in an Association
composed of friends and neighbors, who
will pay every dollar at which it was
valued, and not be subject to thousand
and one restrictions, imposed by other
companies, more for their advantage
than for the protection of the insured.
The money paid out is kept at home,
and every dollar goes to the looser oi
property which means the upbuilding oi
your own county.
8. Don't wait to be burned out and
become burden to your friends by hav-
ing them BEG for you, when absolute pro-
lection is yours by casting in your mite.
Demonstration is fact, and co-opera-
ton is your duty. Therefore, at once in,
sure in the Abbeville- Greenwood Mutua
Insurance Association.

SAID Bryan at the Trust Conferenc

SAID Bryan at the Trust Conference
in Chicago last Saturday:
1.-The entire defense of the trust
rests upon money argument. l pro-
test against settling every question
upon the dollar basis"
1.-The dollar basisr 1t is accounta-
BILE, outside of religious bigotry, with
which it has often been so intricately
intertwined that no man could deter
mine which was really the ruling mo-
tive,-itis accountable for more misery
and wickedness than all other causes
com bined. The dollar basis" knows
neither morality, humanity nor justice
in fact it feeds upon them all-and
governs only through the baser pas
sions and weaknesses of men. Yes,
many of our statesmen" believe that
when they show the dollar in the pro-
position at issue the question is settled.
1t is SO in the tariff and silver ques-
tons, and the imperialistic iniquity is
sought to be defended on the same
ground. Neither blood, nor tears, nor
innocence, can stand in the way of this
all-conquering juggernaut of civiliza-
ton and progress. "They shall for
sake the God of their fathers and wor-
ship strange gods, even gods of wood
and stone" is an unfulfilled prophecy
against the Jews. If the prophet had
elevated his gun so as to shoot over
into the nineteenth century and aimed
at the golden bull's-eye set up alike by
GENTLE and Israelite, he'd have rung
the bell to all Christendom.
