AN INTERESTING REcoRD.-Repre-
sentative Lever. says a Washington
dispatch, filed with the secretary Of
war, through the Quartermaster gen.
eral, the war claim of David r. Jami-
son of Darlington county, for reim-
bursement for baggage, equipment,
ETC., under the law allowing Confed-
crate officers to claim damages for
horses and baggage taken from them
during the civil war. The claim or
Jamison Is very small, but he has an
interesting personal record.
Mr.. D. r. Jamison, the eldest son
of Gen. David F. Jamison, president
of the secession convention OF south
Carolina, enlisted soon after the out
break of the war and was commission
ed as lieutenant OF the 1st regiment OF
state troops. Gen Micah Jenkins was
his brother-in-law, having married MS
sister. He was on Gen. Jenkinss
staff, with the rank Of captain, ana
was with him until the general was
killed at the battle Of the Wilderness.
Capt. Jamison was transferred to the
staff Of Gen. Jno. Bratton and remain
ed with him until the surrender at
Appomattox. He witnessed the sur
render of Lee to Grant and was de-
tailed to effect a surrender Of ordnan-
ces and stores Of the Confederate
army to the Federal army. Gen Ord
was detailed to accept the SURRENDER
on the part Of the Federal army. ne
render he rode from Appomattox TO
Yorkyille. s. c., where his sister, the
widow OF Gen. Jenkins, resided. His
baggage was taken at Orangeburg' MS
old home.

Why Is 1t?

Can anybody explain why the aver
age citizen, be he farmer, merchant,
lawyer, doctor or something else, who
wants to buy as much as 500 worth
Of merchandise will 'look before he
leaps" and in a large measure rely on
his own Judgment Of the comparative
values offered, and buy from the mer-
chant whom he believes Is coming
nearest offering him full value for his
money, whereas II he becomes con-
vinced that he needs life insurance
three out of four Of him insures In a
company about which he knows moth
ing except what the agent tells him,
because, forsooth, the agent Is clever
fellow, and thus going into a contract
involving perhaps hundreds Of dol
lars without looking to see whether or
not there are other companies that
will guarantee more at less cost? Why
is II, gentle reader? The record OF the
Mutual Benefit, extending over a per-
iod of sixty years. proves that 1t Is the
ideal policy-holders' company-guar
antees more at less cost than any 9TH
er and It's policies are so plain and
simple that the novice who will read
them over can understand them as
we'll as the so-called expert. Look
before you Leap!
