Property nearly all destroyed except the ground, which has been enhanced by the fire, as more valuable and upto-date structures will be erected. Even these fine new structures are liable to be destroyed by storm or fire, but the DIRT will still be there to enhance in value for succeeding generations. Why not turn your thoughts and attention to investing in DIRT while prices are so low in South Carolina and bound to advance as the census plainly shows the population is increasing and must have a place to dwell, dead or alive? Even the dead require space. If our trading folks would turn their talent toward Real Estate, instead of trading in things with no substantial value, we would see the grandest improvement in both pleasure and property that the country has ever experienced. Instead of this. Mother Earth is sadly neglected and even abused in most instances, the main foundation and support of all. Which plainly shows "What fools we mortals be!"

It used to be the case when two individuals engaged in a "flst-and-skullfight," the encounter was designated as a fight. The modern designation is "scrap." Insurance agents sometimes get into contests over delivering a policy to men who are looking for the sh best. Sometimes as many as a half- m; dozen agents representing as many life insurance companies will take a hand , in ^he fracas, eacn striving to snow on that he has the best company and the $1, best policy. It is done this way. Mr. Jones, we will call him, decides to apply for $10,000 insurance on the 20 st? Pay Life Plan. The agents find it out an in some way. Each one goes to Mr. Jones and makes a proposition like this: "Now, Mr. Jones, I know the ," naming his company, "is the best company in the world, and issues the best and most liberal policy. You let me write your application and have 2,"? you examined. It won't cost you any thing. When the policy is issued you can examine it and do the same thing tu with the policies of all the other com- *51 panies and if you find any that suits you better than that of the , you 1 need not take mine." Very often Mr. tel Jones agrees to the proposition and th: makes application in as many as a half dozen companies. During the past twelve months, in South Carolina, one fin individual agent for the Mutual Bene- ke fit has been engaged in not less than re: one dozen "scraps" of the character sei described, involving the delivery of policies ranging in amounts of from $10,- ' 000 to $25,000, and has not failed a an SINGLE TIME to convince "Mr. Jones" that the Mutual Benefit is the BEST company and issues the BEST policy for the insured, and to DELIV- ? ER and get PAID for every policy. Now, Dear Reader, C de Don't you think it possible that the pe agent referred to would have failed to deliver at least ONE time if there was SI a shadow of doubt as to our claim that we have the best company and write < the best policy. While I am not the agent referred to still I can convince you that each of the Mr. Joneses displayed good business sense In selecting T" the Mutual Benefit as the guardian of 1. his interests. Give me a trial. trc cam m ftDicr a??r>f est SPnifli ITIi umv I f vpwviai tar HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? wl.
