THE HAIL8T0RM OF *59. A Chester Farmer Talks ef an Event ^ of the Long Ago. Editor Yorkville Enquirer. As Bill Arp would say. I have been ruminating- I recall that this is the fiftieth anniversary of the great hall storm that visited the western portion | of York county, on Sunday night, the 16th of May, 1859. I think this was the heaviest hail that ever visited this section without any exception. Crops of wheat, oats, corn and cotton being totally destroyed. The hall was rafted in the hollows ten feet deep and covered with mud and leaves, remained for eight weeks or nearly; if not quite, through July. I well remember the morning after the storm being at Jas. L. Guy's "Coin place," where the dwelling was blown down and two old white ladies were caught by the timbers, one being killed and the other so badly injured that she W died in a few weeks. Do not imagine, because I remember this that I am an old man, for I was of very tender years then, being less than five years of age. Of all the men living in that immediate section then, I do not recall that more than five or six are there now. Among them Messrs. J. L. Rainey, J. M. Sherer, J. P. Blair, W. J. Blair and our venerable friend, Andrew Hafner. I would like for you to look your files and republish the account of this storm, as doubtless some correspondent from there gave your paper an ac count of it. Perhaps you can tell us whose washpot was carried by the flood from the spring, was it to the Atlantic ocean? The .stands of cotton in this section are generally poor. A great deal of replanting having been done. Where proper judgment was exercised and the seed covered shallow, the stand is good, but where covered too deep it is very defective. I have long since learned that cotton seed under no circumstances should be covered more than one inch deep and generally onehalf inch is deep enough. If covered too deep the vitality of the plant is so in zettinK out of the ground as to render it at best a puny plant, and if a heavy rain should fall In the mean time, the chances are very ? much against its ever getting up. Farmer. Chester, May 17, 1909. HICKORK GROVE NOTES. ^ CorrwuondeiK* of the Vorirrille Enquirer.

While It Is a Fact That some life Insurance companies have carried out every guarantee written or printed in their policies and still made handsome, and often very large profits besides, It Is a' fact also that in all honestly and economically managed mutual companies, those profits, or more correctly speaking, savings, have gone to those composing the company, viz: the policy holders, while in stock companies a large proportion of the savings have been and are going to the stock holders, and at the same lime me coniroi or me company us aosolutely in the hands of the stockholders. The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company is the most conspicuous example of the ideal mutual company in business, and the one aim and purpose of the management for 64 years has been to see that each and every member got a square deal. No company guarantees as much as does the Mutual Benefit and no company in the past has carried out its contracts at a lower cost. We have no reasonably accurate means of Judging the future except by the past. SAM M.
