LOWER INSURANCE.
Owing to Good Fire Department
And Water Pressure New
berry in Second Class.

On the 18th OF this month the
Southern Eastern Tariff Association
revised its rates as to Newberry and
put the city in the second class which
reduces the rate from 80 to 50 per
cent.
There is a general readjustnent Of
rates. On some risks the reduction
is as great as fifty per cent. while on
Others it is not 50 great.
This reduction is due to the ettl-
cheney of Our fire department and the
strong pressure of our water supply.
Tie reduction in rates of insur-
ance since the installation Of our
water works has made sufficient
saving to pay the cost of this i'm
provement alone, besides the advan-
tages to be derived from it.
