Young TIMMERMAN, although only in College some eighteen months, yet received the second honor in the Graduating Class. Read the following: ' Mr. J. A.--Timmerman discussed a theme that was calculated to excite'tho emotional nature, and also to arouse tho more intense feelings of our bosoms. The " Impeachment of Warren Hastings" furnished a subject that developed in young T. a power that a less exciting theme would fail to discover. I appre hend/that he experienced emotions simi lar to those that agi ted the bosom of the ?loquent Burke when he uttered the memorable words, *' I impeach him in the name of the people of India. I im peach htm a? the common enemy and; oppressor of all." The manner in which' the grave subject was presented indicated that the points wore fully appreciated. jaar Messrs.

DEATH OF A REPENTANT ROQUE. Recently, a negro of bad character died iu this County, named Sam. Reynolds. He had been strongly suspected of set ting fire to tho gin house of T. B. Fraser, Esq., which was destroyed by tire more than a year ago. On his death-bed, Sam, contested his guilt in this matter, und also that he set fire to tho Spring Hill Church. He accused a certain white man of being tho " cause of his ruin."-Sum ter News. SUDDEN DEATH.-On Monday nwt, the second son of Mr. Sol. C.

Ho bad been playing in n pile of cotton seed, and being missed at dinner, upon search he wail found smothered in the cotton seed. He had grabbled out a per pendicular hole in the seed about the size of his body, and the poor little fellow was found with his head down in the hole. He had been absent for about an hour from the house.-Lexington Dispatch. A Lady Uses One. The following, from Hon. Edmund Burke, speaks for itself: NEWPORT, N. H., June 5, 1871. DEAR Sin:-In February last a fire oc curred in my dwelling house. It caught from a stove-pipe, between the ceiling and .loor*of the second story, and had made considerable headway when dis covered. It was in a place difficult of access and much combustible material around it to feed upon. On discovering the fire, my wife, with the aid of one servant girl, applied the extinguisher purchased'of yon, and very soon sup pressed it. I attribute the preservation of my house entirely to the extinguisher, which no sum of money would induce me to part with, if I could not get another, . . Yours truly, EDMUND BURKE. The Columbia Union, of Tuesday says : " Persons who visitad tho place yesterday, near Littleton ou the line of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, state that between 2,200 and 2,300 cords of oak and pine wood were burned. The fire was incendiary, it having been set in many places. Mr. Joseph Crews loses between $3000 and $4000 by this piece of malice. The railroad trestle was not much injured, although it had been set on fire two or throe miles distant from the wood." 1 Special iN"otices. _ ? MR. P: P.

Tbis Company Offers toe Following important Advantages to rose About Effecting Insurance en their ld ves: 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 to: 3C Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual . Premium on his Policy, and wjl share in th e Profits of the Company- to. the same extent as J Stock holder owning'an equal amount of the Capital Stoc]$. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is nomfofeitable, and contains a! Clause stating its exact Surrender Vane. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AG?SCY OF ANY COMPANY READ THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Erenram ordinarily charged by Life Insttrance Companies ?rc from twenty-five to thirty p* cent, in excess of what arc necessary for a sate' and legitimate conduct of the bvuiness. In other words, carefully am) prudentlv-managed Companies charging "Mttual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, of tte amount charged for premiums./ : When Life Insurance Companies were first organized/ the reliibility of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, theiefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt,' it was better to fix thc rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, at least iu part, hy returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as wa? found unnecessary for thc purposes of the business and the complete security of the Compauy. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these ra'te? ave.ex?csT sive, what possible excuse can there be" f<>r maintaining them ? . Ayajlipglhen15ely.es of this experience, the Directors ?nd'tanagers pf the ?fth vsal Jffi ?MWQW'?WWW* ft it? fi^ap.ija't'jon*, apopted Vsc?je of premiums in ac?r dance tnerpH'?tb. ?u$l $ijp1i Tms proved to bo fair and adequate, and all that ?as necessary to meei thaTcquirepiente ff the businees, TheBc premiums are about ?we tty five per cent, lower tl}?n those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, ?uasinuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders m Mutrial Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment justly and properly belonged to thest?ckholders of the Company, for thc risk incurred hy them in undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there aro sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not ddrnit of being considered as elemeuts m thc calculation ef^ the premiums. These- results from a saving in the mortality of the wcm.hova., of a Com pany owing to the meificat selection of good lives, a gain in in,tWy*t on tim investments of the Company over that assumed iii the calculation qf it's premiums, the. profits derivable from th- lapsing ap,d su;^d>!f pf N'ties- by the members, and from other ' rUutMnnn thpsp-sq|ree?, in a Comvhnv poSse>sed of a capital of $200,000, and dc-' ing a fair Satcmft of business, 'would gWto the stockholders dividends largely ft eg ? cess of what wera counted ou by the'Directora pf thc Unketwl z\'M ? organization. ' They have, thVruTpr?, determined to mv\f wm ty iwhcyholdero ot the Coinpaiiy a' large lm'rt t\{ the profits accruing fron? ih> sources named, ?di of which ? h.ty.e h.-r?totoro liJ( i) ('?lYi.k'd ajpor.g tlic-setofkbc?^?8- , . TV plan wlo^it,l'}b?W*th% drw*i6n is as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with thc UnivcrnU will, for the purposes of divi?oi, be treated as a stoekUol- 1 der to tho extent of one Annual Premium nponnia Www ; an-lwill ?harem the profits j of the Company to precisely the saihe extent as a Stockholder owwy -nuequal amount j of (he capital tiock. . -iii By thu? system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the pcheyhoMer secures the following important advantages : . : FIRST. Insurance at (Ju regular " Slock" rates, requiring q primary wUlay of ahmt twenty< to thirty per cent, less than that charged by Mutual Companies, and which isxclivaient to a yearly " dividend" paid in advance-oVttesX amount ou mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention Sinai its organization this Company han received to premiums from its policyholders' the sum pf ?1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company wouid have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this "excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend ' of $483,000, and paid it, too. in advance, instead of at the end of ort? or moro years. It is impossible to find anr example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost hvreturningito ita policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. , SECOND. * PartidvaHon in (he legitimate profits of the Company, tQKM ?f vbn which secures to the poUeynolders the same treatment which Pire?tojs. and Stockholders award to themselves. Tins system of participation, in commotion with thc low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure to. the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. ' i. The low rates -of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyh?lder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan. of participation in what may bc considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in thc profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. Those of thc existing Policyholders who desire to : particip?t^ in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to the ijoad Qfljee, or to any -of the Agents of the Company.
