EQUITABLE NEWS.

Four and a half million of business
in one day was recent record made
by the company, a fit testimonial for
life insurance and especially the
Equitable.
Since the organization, fifty-five
years ago, the Equitable has paid pol
icy holders 1882, $50, 10000, and still
has assets of over one half billion.
Somebody has been buying life in
suranCe.
Andrew Carnegie says, Insurance
brings peace and prevents ruin to in
Vulnerable lives and homes" He is a
firm advocate of life insurance.
A number of leading agents have al
ready qualified in the Quarter Million
Club and several in the Half Million
Club.
The Equitable has agents in cities
and moneyed centers who seldom try
to sell any less than a $4,000 policy.
The Courier-Journal of Louisville
recently purchased a 100000 group
insurance policy covering the lives OF
the officers and employees. This is a
common practice among large cor
porations and manufac turing organiza-
tions these days.
Wives sometimes object to life in
surance, but widows never do.

Caldwell, Idaho,
GentIemen:

Gentlemen:
have this day received $1,000 from
The Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York through their agent. A.
|. Myers, Of Caldwell, Idaho, to pay
my Husbands death claim of $4,000.
Just before his application was made
my husband was employed in the
Reclamation Service in Deer Flat.
About ninety hours after the applica-
ton was made he was killed by a fall
while working on the Arrow Rock
Dam. At that time his application had
merely reached the Boise office of
this company Notwithstanding the
fact that my husbands application did
not reach the Home Office of the
company in New York until several
days after he had died, this company
promptly paid the loss in full the same
day the policy was issued. 1t seems
to me that this company is good
enough for anyone.
Yours truly,
MRS. EDNA R. STARK.

THIS AFFECTS COLUMBIA

The people of Anderson are very
happy over the opening to the public
Of the beautiful new union passenger
station built by the Blue Ridge rail
way. This is inc of tile nobbiest as
well as mCst convenient passenger
stations in this country. The rail-
road practically tunneled through the
heart Of the city. The station is built
on the principal business street with
platforms below the street level and
waiting ROOMS above the tracks.
The history of the success Of the
Blue Ridge railway is almost a
romance. At one time il was prac-
tically abandoned by the Southern
railway. 1t was bought for song.

purchasers. He Is now head of the
great Southern railway system.
Al that time the future or the Blue
Ridge was very dark. But the com
Dany was fortunate to get the services
OF big man for manager. Capt. Jno
X. Anderson is the man who took
charge OF the road and brought il
from bankruptcy to responsibility
from trail OF rotten ties and rusty
untru3tworthy irons. 10 a very good
rOadbed. now being ballasted. Al
one time the Blue Ridge was the best
paying piece of mileage in the South
Capt. Anderson acted as freight con-
ductor and as superintendent of the
road at one and the same time, and to
his careful management and good
judgment is due the fact that the Blue
Ridge recently built Il 100000 sta
tlon at Anderson, has put on an all
steel train and also gas-electric
train service.
Capt. Jno. F.. Anderson Is the man
who has saved the Blue Ridge road .
He has declined to be transferred to
more remunerative station in rail-
road service. for he proposes to stick
to the Blue Ridge till he sees the
trains running through from Knox

ing enjoyed by Atlanta

THINK IT OVER

The loyal newspaper promotes the
interests OF the town In which it is
published TO such an extent that II
becomes impossible 70 place an es-
innate upon its WORTH There is no
enterprise that does 80 much for the
corporation or the Individual citizen
rs the paper. II stands opposed to
the town knocker, the town kicker,
the town fanatic and tho town tlroncs.
It stands for action as against dry
rot. II stands for progress as against
stagnation. 1t Is ever ready to cunis
bat the schemes of Missionaries and as
ready to aid the constructive plans
of the wise md level 7headed citizens.
1t is for the upbuiiding of the come
munity. The paper has not yet come
into its own, however. because 1t Is
never appreciated to the extent OF its
worth by the people at. large. Vet
when battles are to be fought for

enterprises are encouraged by q
bonus, bnt rarely Is the newspaper
offered any such help and still more
often not given the sJbnort 1t is eIi-
title TO. Communities frequently
lose sight OF their real benefactor
when they fail to recognize the local
journal as such. The editor and his
paper stand as the buiwarks OF de-
Tense against the attacks nt evil Of
designing schemes affecting the good
OF the Indivi duas or the town. For
these and other reasons the nawsp8-

woMAN,s RIeHT TO VOTE.

Mrs. Desha Breckenridge. of Lex
ington, Ky, one OF the leaders of tho
fight IN this country for woman's suf-
frage, has delivered two speeches in
this State in favor of allowing wo-
men the privilege of voting. Mrs.
Breckenridge is great granddaugh-
ter of Henry Clay. and possesses in
q large degrees the wonderfully logical
mind of her talented and famous an
cestor. She has a aast fund of snfor-
nation on the subject. and 1t is a
strong opponent whom she cannot
convince and convert. Mrs. Brecken-
ridge says that women everywhere
will soon have the right to vote the
same as the men now have, and cites
figures to show the remarkable
growth of the movement iii this coun-
Try The Iptelligcncer agrees with
Mrs. breckenridge. and does not fear
the day for such happy consnmma-
ton. South Carolina would be bene-
fitted II women were given the right 10
vote, and we trust that we shall sea
this some day. Certainty ,hey, would
do no worse with the ballot Yin the
men have done. and they might do
bntter.

the honor of having eaten all com
petitors and carried off blue or red
ribbon or an engraved certificate i'm
proof Of victory will be attraction
enough for other pRizes. 1t is the
winning and not the thing won which
most stimulates pride and effort AS
the Asheboro Courier says in urging
fair for its county:
NO costly buildings are necessary:
plenty of room can be found with lit
tie expense. 1t will take some money.
to be sure, TO purchase the prizes.
but that can be had. Fairs bring peo-
pie together; old friends greet each
other, and new acquaintances are
made. A fair encourages the exhibi,
tCrd and others to further effort.
Nothing advertises resources and pos
sibiities of county like a fair.
Household. agricultural and school
exhibits can be made a great success
in this county, and livestock exhibits
will be excellent.

We must have it. THE Progressive

Woodworking, goot-hearteti citizen. .
In other words, wind up with the em-
phasis on the good trait rather than
the bad one.
Or better still, when you hear some
bcdy's name mentioned and IFS on the
tip of your tongue to refer to some
blunder or failing you know about,
Just try choking It down few times,
leaving Il unsaid, and see IL you don't
feel better inside. Then next time go
a little further and try speaking Of
some good deed he has done instead
of mentioning the time he made mis-
take (even though You yourself have
never made any mistakes). and see II
you don't feel happier still.
If the farmers In any neighborhood

to build good roads, and II the gov
ernment pays in any money for good
roads. they must OF necessity get it
somewhere before they can pay 1t TO
the districts mentioned by Mr.. Elem
ing. So the tax will be all the heavier
because OF the appropriations.
This writer also bclittles the go
miles OF good roads, which might be
built by the proceeds Of the bond is
sue. II lie will stop to think, this will
cross the county from line to line
about six or seven times. and will
place, thus, good road in reach of.
or near to every citizen OF tile county.
Then IL will decrease the number of
miles the supervisor will have TO keep
up, and give him fund he can use
for building more permanent roads.
SO the work once started will never
stop till all the roads in the county
nave been made permanent.
OF course this amount of money
will not pave every road in the coun-
ty. Once started, however. and the
good roads fever will spread Till every
section of the county will demand
permanent roads, and they will get
them too. They should have them

Over one hundred years have passed
since this county was first settled.
and If there is mile of real perma-
nent road bed in the county. we do

miles of good roads most of the time

Mr.. Fleming and those who think as
he does TO vote down the bond issue.
ard he says they will do 1t. Possibly
so, hut they will lose annually in n

they would have to pay as direct
tax for the good roads under a bond
issue. And one hundred years from

as many miles OF permanent roads as

Would Anderson have the schools she

true as so Greenvilio. A debt which
