COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, s. C.

II rs WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business of
the County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of America" in Abbeville Coun-
ty, independent of the Parent Asso-
citation whose headquarters are at Un-
ion, s. e.
The purpose of the. Association is to
secure to the family of each member
of the same who may die, one dollar
for every member belonging to the AS
sociation at the time of his or her
death.
| The idea in ertensO is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. It is more like family af-
fair than anything! else. You only
pay when one dies. If you join now
your first payment of $3.50 pays you
up until first of January, 1905, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would be called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
It is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insurance at actual cost.
Any white persons between the ages
of eighteen and fifty-five, male or fe-
male, may become q member of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached; after that no
one over thirty can get in, and he only
10 replace deceased member. If,
therefore, you are over thirty years of
age this is the only chance you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it to yourself to provide something for
their protection in case you are taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study our plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up at once.
institution the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
ing always collected in advance of a
death a; the claim paid Immediately on
notice of death of the member; ; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much "red tape" to be OBJ
served in order to collect death claim
and th. he officers Of The company
are your own people.
If there is any additional informa-
ton as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any OF
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.

President.

Scott also fired several times at the De- sro and perhaps hit him in the eye.
 In less time than it takes io write it, there were a score of others on the scene, and as Swan hurried back with the news that Ralnbolt was badly hurt and that the negro was dead. Sam R0lfe also came in and sent Dr. Lon gest to the scene to try to relieve MT. Rainholt's suff-rings, not being aware that Dr. Mcknight had already gone
 MT Rainb0lt was shortly afterwards removed to his home where he only lived few minutes-less than all hour from the time he was shot.
 During the battle the negro narrow. Y missed Mir. Swan, the bullet passing so near his ear that he could hear the wind Marshal Scott also had mar. row escape with a bullet hole through his coat
 As the negro passed Capt Merwin's home, Mrs Merwin saw him reloadipg his pistol, and as ne attempted to go over the barbed wire fence into the cornfeld, his clothing hung, and he was very desperate.
 In the meantime Mir.

 John Williams had spent year in the penitentiary, having only been re- eased last spring. He WAS very bad negro, and terror to his own rrce as we'll as constant source of annoyance and trouble to the whites. Every sher- if for years back has had trouble with him. Sheriff W. E Williams sent colored deputy after him once upon Il time, and the officer had to shoct him, and came very near killing woman at the same time, the ball passing through Williams shoulder and lodging iu her leg.
 Williams was very shrewd. He was no doubt watching the officers very closely. though at the same time walk ing from them and pretending that he was pay ing no attention 10 them. He had both hands partly up when Mur phree commanded him to "drop 1t. .' They were about his belt line. He watched his chance, and the officer thinking he would run. and not being justified in shOeting him down at that time, was shot so suddenly and unex- pecledly. that he had no time to use his own gun Williams had his back to the officers, and they had no idea that he intended to shoot wh, Il he knew Murphree had the drop on him.
 The first shot from the negro's pistol struck Murphree in the bal of the thumb as he held his arm extended to shoot and passing through the l-shy part of the hand, entered the neck just above the collarbone and direc ly in the middle of the front ot his neck, pen etrating his wiHdpipe.
 Both Deputy Sheriff Murphree and Marshal Rainbot were fear less in the discharge of their duty. They were considered two of the bray est men in this county. They were PpllbE anu CbulAt lO all. hts AdiI- bolt had been marshal ot Forrest City for three years, and was elected the
 last time without opposition. He was one of the best officers the town ever had, and was highly esteemed by al- most the entire community. He had enemies of course, just as every lp1ce officer has, but they were principally among class who had been victims of his vigilance. He leaves heart brc- ken wife and three children to mourn his untimely taking off.
 MT. Murphree had been d deputy sheriff for SIX years, and was the tailor under Sheriff w E. Williams. He was popular with all who knew him. and if he had an enemy we do not know it. He also leaves healt. broken wife and four children, besides an aged
