RUMBLE OF THE RAILS
News Picked Up at Depot, Siding

The movement of freight over the
Iowa division of the Rock Island for
September OF the current year was
the heaviest in the history of the road
The pay roll for the division was cor.
respondingly large and, presumably
the gross and net receipts were in
proportion to the traffic.

The single track lines in the state
find themselves placed at a very great
disadvantage for the movement of traf
&c compared with the Burlington and
the Northwestern, both of which have
second tracks from Chicago TO the
Missouri river. The single track lines
are confronted with the problem OF
delaying immense movements OF
freight and keep their passenger
trains on schedule time or of laying
out passenger trains and running
freight on time. Both freight and
passenger traffic ON the Iowa lines
have been without precedent for vol

You Pay the
Freight

If, when you insure your life, you do
not look at the contracts of but one
company or hear the statements of
but one agent, you cannot be sure that
you are insuring in company that Is
certain to give you or your benefciaries
square deal under any and all cir
cumstances. Each agent who is thor
oughly equipped should be in position
to give you a correct answer to any
question you may ask relative to the
rates, policy conditions and record of
each company, but the trouble is that
the average individual does not know
what questions to ask in order to bring
out the information of most vital i'm
portance to himself. Each honest
agent firmly believes that he is repre-
senting the best company and selling
the best policy, but very few Of them
are able to give convincing reasons
for their faith, and depend on persuad-
ing you to insure with them without
looking elsewhere. 1t is generally
conceded fact that when considered
from every viewpoint no company in
business guarantees it's policy holders
as many privileges as does the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance CO., of Newark,
and that no company comes as near
winning in all cases where there Is
honorable competition. Always bear
in mind that when you buy life insur-
ance you are the man who will pay the
freiqht, and that in life insurance there
Is necessarily a BEST and that it is
duty you owe yourself to try to de-
eide which one 1t Is. Look before you
leap, but do not put off either too long,
as many people whom you have known
have done.

IRON MARKERS TO BE PLACED
AT GRAVES OF C0NFEDERATES
Fort Mill Daughters Engaged in Laud-
able Undertaking to Honor De-
parted Soldiers.

The latest undertaking by
which the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
are striving to perpetuate the
memory of the departed soldiers
OF the South whose graves are
IN this community is the placing
or an iron marker at each. The
marker is made of iron, with an
outer coating of aluminium. and
IS both appropriate and orna-
mental. 1t is a maltese cross in
design, as is the cross of honor
worn by many Confederate
veterans, and is one foot square
with a spear Is inches in length
to be driven into the ground to
hold the marker in place. On
the face of the marker appear,
the Latin words 'Deo Vindice"
(God vindicates), surrounded bv
a laurel wreath. Below the
wreath is star, in the points of
which are the years of the war.
lS6l-lS65. On the reverse side
of the marker, in large letters.
IS the c. S. A., also surrounded
by a laurel wreath.
The markers are not expensive,
but they are not furnished free
to the chapter by the manufac-
turers, and as it will require a
considerable sum to place one at
each of the 81 graves of veterans
IN the Fort Mill cemetery and
the numerous other soldier
graves at Flint Hill church and
elsewhere in the community. any
contributions which the public
is pleased to make to further the
Iaudable undertaking will be
gratefully received by the
Daughters. Mrs. J. M. Spratt
and Mrs. II. f. Grier are the
committee to whom contributions
should be sent.

FORT MILL MEN WHO FOLLOWED
THE SOUTH'S STARRY BANNER

Forty-five years have passed
since the unhappy day in which
Gen. Robt. E. Lee gave up the
unequal struggle for Southern
independence from the American
Union. Since that far day as
men measure time-the already
decimated gray line has grown
thinner and thinner with each
succeeding year until the once
powerful armies of the Con-
federacy are today represented
by but a few individuals in each
community. Most of those still
living are fast approaching the
day when they will have joined
their comrades of the SOS in the
unending bivouac. 1t ought to
be of interest to everyone in the
South to know who among his
neighbors followed the great
Confederate captains who have
filled history with their deeds and
the earth with their renown. The
Times, therefore, finds pleasure
in complying with the request
that it publish the names of the
members of the Fort Mill camp
of Confederate veterans:
