Tabooed Coins.

In the course of business certain Lon
don banks have occasion to send out
large sums of gold coin to China. No
sovereigns, however, will be accepted
which have the familiar st. George ana
the dragon on the reverse side The
dragon plays a leading part in reli-
gious matters in China, and its inquire
on the coin is abhorrent to the celes-
tial mind. The London consignees have,
therefore, to pick out the older coins
having a shield on the reverse side, for
transmission to the east, and these are
consequently becoming very scarce.

With more than a dozen candidates

as a true and loyal republican, hav.

for the success of his party. We still
insist however, that Berkeley County
is entitled to this nomination, and if
the republicans stick together there is
good chance to win. But with dis
sention reigning supreme, what can we
ever hope to accomplish? In fact, if
this delegation is divided the nomina-

not if the delegates can nor agree on
one particular candidate. ''In union

The assessors are collecting the cap

law. and il is entirely useless for anv
one who comes under tbs section to
try to get out paying it to the assessor.
In the long run it will prove to be a
good law, and those who now con-
denim it, will shortly see how much
such a law was needed.

AS To Life Insurance.

in case of death. It pays weekly
sum to the insured in case he is hurt
and cannot work. It pays a weekly
sum to him if he is sick and compelled
to stay at home. It furnishes money
to pay the premiums on his policy while
he is hurt or sick and this insures his
policy to be paid to his family should
he finally die Of accident or illness.
1t pays him his whole insurance in
ten equal installments should he from
accident or sickness be totally disabled
or lose his hands or his feet or his eye
sight.
It provides for him and his family
while he RECEIVERS from an accident;
it takes care of him and his dear ones
while he lies tossing on sick bed; it
assures the payment Of the premium
on his policy so that he can feel secure
in the payment of the face Of his policy
should he finally fail to recover; It pro-
vides for his comfort, the education Of
his children and preservation of his
home for ten years after he is disabled,
and if he dies before the ten years for
the payment of any balance that has
not been received in the years he has
had his ANIMAL payments.
It cares for him and the family, in
temporary ills, in permanent afliction
and In death.
Where can you find such a seller as
that? Where can your acquaintance,
friends, neighbors and patrons find
such policy?
And remember there is no extra
charge for the permanent disability,
and the accident and health are at
tached for less than the regular cost.
Are you not overlooking your own
opport tr1nities?

1t might be we'll for those who are
thinking of taking out life insurance
policy to read the following extracts
from talk to the agents of the Pacific
Mutual Life:
Have you stopped to consider what a
gem you have in your hands in the
Ideal policy of the Pacific?
Do you realize whatit means to offer
a man life, health and accident in one
policy and to add to that, payment Of
the principal Of the policy for perma-
nent disability?
Where can you find such a policy?
Who has it for sale?
Who can compete with you for a
moment?
Did you ever think that one might
need insurance money more in life
than in death?
How many thousands lose their in
surance through inability to pay pre-
miums caused by accident or sickness?
How can you insure your insured
when wages stop and expenses in
crease?
How can one buy medicine and food
and pay doctor bills and insurance pre-
miurns while sick with fever or laid up
with broken leg?
How can he provide for his family
and himself fer long series of years
if he becomes totally and permanently
disabled by accident or through illness?
The ideal policy answers all these
questions, solves all these problems.
It costs less money than life and ac-
cident combined, and life and health
combined, and it gives the full benefit
of each and adds full payment during
life of the face of the policy for total
and permanent disability.
It pays the face value to the family
