BOIL WEEvIL LIVED In IcE-Cold
does not affect the Mexican boil Wee
vii. Experiments made by G. E. King,
manager of the Taylor, Texas, Ice COM
pany, proved that a temperature be-
low zero does not bother the weevil. A
number Of them were frozen in solid
cake of ice. When the ice melted, after
thirty hours, the weevils were as lively
as ever. -. e..
From Robertson county comes. the
report that the weevils are now play
ing havoc with the tomato crop. The
fact Is now recalled that after eating
the cotton crop of northern Mexico,
they took to the corn and destroyed
it. They seem to prefer cotton, but If
it is not to be had, they will attack
other crops.-New Orleans dispatch of
September IL.

Coroner Arrests Sheriff.

Coroner Arrests Sherin.
w. Lee Rhoden, sheriff of Saluda
county, is under arrest on the charge
of murder. A Negro named BOD
Church was killed on the streets or
Saluda recently and the coroner's jury
fixed the blame as between the sheriff
and a man named Matt w. Berry. The
coroner took the sheriff in custody and
Berry surrendered. The case is such
an unusual one and there is so much
local ignorance of the law in the case,
that the matter has not yet been fully
Strengthened out. The coroner, how
ever, will probably have to look after
the sheriffs office until the sheriff Is
again in a position to resume charge
Of it.

"The BEST
Policyholders' Company.

II OLLOWING Is an actual conver-
sation that recently took place be-
tween the travelling representative or a
popular life insurance company and
myself:
MIR. Grist, you should come with the
- Insurance company. You know
it is a good company. writes a liperal
policy and it pays larger commission
to agents. and you know that It's the
agent that sells the insurance, ana no, no.
the company, and that the average man
who buys insurance Is Influenced more
by what the agent says and the jokes
he tells, than by what the contract he
is buying. says. If you are selling IN
surance for a living you should come
with u.s." My reply was: You know
you have a good company, and 1t sells
a good policy and lives up to Its con.
tract, and also pays a more iperal
commission to it's agents. I also know
that I have a better company and that
it's contracts are better, palmer, more
simple and liberal, and also know that
it does not pay as large commission
as your company. I am selling insur-
tinue to do so, and know by experience
that l sell lots Of insurance solely on
account Of the recommendations OF
pleased policy holders, the best ad-
vertisement a company can have, and
I am satisfied that the better the COM
pany is known the more business !
will do The fact that 1t pays small
commission as compared with others
enables it to do more than others for Its
policy holders" His reply to this was:
II know the Mutual Benefit is the best
policy holders company in the world
and that is why, in my opinion, 1t Is
not the best for agents." A word to
the wise is sufficient. Look before
you leap.

BRAVE WOMAN FOlLS
A JAIL DELIVERY

Belleyille, Ill.,, Feb. THE remark
able bravery and cool head OF Mrs
Cora Barnsbaclz, wife of W. w Barns
back, jailer OF the Madison county
Jail at Edwardsvilie, saved the life OF
her husband and frustrated the plans
Of Louis Pickens to Hberate himself
and thirty-twO other desperate Grim
inals from the Jail. When the jailer
led the prisoner to the telephone the
latter turned quickly and seized the
revolver. With a vicious swing he
struck the iailer a blow on the head
that felled him. He then beat him to
insensibility.
Mrs. Barnsback, seeing she was
powerless to interfere, ran to the jail
door to call Turnkey George Field
worth to assist her husband. While
calling the turnkey she pushed the
lever which closed the cell door. She
then snapped the locks on the iron
doors an stood guard over the thirty.
two prisoners.
