Rewards Of Insurance Agents.

Rewards OF Insurance Agents.
AS might be expected from the
magnitude of the business-nearly
$2,000,0Oo,000 a year-the men
who are able to carry conviction
to the hearts of multimilionaires
reap a proportionate reward. Some
of the general agents who control
exclusively a specified territory, pay
all their expenses and turn over the
business secured to one of the great
companies on a commission basis
clean up 100000 year. The best
"feld men," the actual solicitors,
may make $4,000 year each, and
there are thousands of agents whose
annual commissions range between
$4,000 and $4,000. 1t should be
noted that the tendency now is to
abolish these general agencies and
to concentrate the responsibility
more at the home Office. And the
majority of insurance experts be-
lieve that the 5 per cent or 10 per
cent of each policy holders total
payments which the agent now re-
ceives is too high.-Worlds Work.

The Newer japan,

Pierre Lott thinks, as do many Of
us when We revisit the scene of our
early loves, that Japan has deteri-
grated. War, even in 1900, he saw
to be inevitable, but this saddens
him less than the substitution Of
American bars for the picturesque
tea houses and the general spread
of drunkenness among the lower or
ders. Formerly, he says, if you saw
drunken man in Nagasaki he was
sure to be an European, but now
the sailors as well as the civilians Of
Nippon are often to be found booz-
ing and quarreling in cabarets.-

To BUILD A new CHURCH.
Meth0diSts Contemplate Erecting a
Better House Of Worship.

In response to an invitation
from Rev W B Justus, the pas
tor, meeting was held in the
Methodist church Tuesday
night to consider the expedien-
cy of erecting a modern brick
church building in place of the
present antiquated and unsis hit
ly structure. The meeting Tues
day night was merely a tenta-
tive one and not a great many
people were present. Those
who were there, however, ex-
pressed themselves unanimously
in favor of building the new
church. AS a preliminary step
a committee was appointed to
decide upon the plans and prob
able cost of the building and
also to devise a plan whereby
the necessary funds may be
raised. This committee will
make it's report at future
meeting.
There is a crying need in
Kingstree for new and better
church buildings and it is graft
flying to see that at least some
effort is being made to improve
present conditions.
+ If the Methodist of Kingstree
are determined to have a new
church it will be built. But
there must be energy and en-
thusiasm and a spirit of sacri-
fee before anything can be
achieved. We shall await with
interest the report of the COM
mittee after which it will not
take long for the members of
Kingstree Methodist church to
say whether or not they want
the new church.

To Clean a White Plume.

A much soiled white feather was
restored to beautiful sunny white
by placing it in tall glass jar, the
kind used for preserving purposes,
which was filled with gasoline. The
feather was allowed to remain in the
jar for half an hour. 1t was then
removed, shaken, to free it from its
tangle, and placed in front of a reg
lister. The heat curled the tips Of
the tines, and at the same time it
was deodorized. A fresh and dainty
adornment was the result.

Diaaons Teeth.

markable discovery that the fossil

their supposed curative powers are
the remains of many species OF e1-
tinct animals, such as the ancestral
forms of camels, saber toothed t.
gers, three toed horses and other
creatures Of ancient times, some OF
which were supposed to have had
their original home in America and
in Africa. Judging from the quanti-
ties Of these teeth sold, DR.. Schlosser
thinks they must exist in enormous
numbers in some parts OF the Chi
