It costs money to run a newspaper and if the sub scribers will not pay, of course they cannot expect us to furnish them the paper gratis. We want all the paying subscribers we can get and we now give fair notice that every name on our subscription list not paid up by the first day of May will be stricken off. DANGERS OF TIHE GRIP.

It will effect a permanent eure in less time than any other treatment. The 23 and 50 cent sizes for sale by R . B. Loryea., the druggist Mr. Stutts of Kingstree Robbed. A daring and mysterious robbery oc cr.rred in Kingstree last Friday night. Mr. R. R. Stutts, the dispenser at that place, was robbed between the hours of 12 o'clock midnight and dayiight of $195 in cash, and a check for $22 on i-n Atlanta bank. Also his double-b-rd! shot gun. wateh and chain, his hat, five cigars and two 1-cent pieces. .%r. Stutts attended a meeting of the NIa sonic lodge Friday night and got home a little before midnight. ie is positive that he had the money when he went to bed, and he is equally positive that lte put his vest under his pillow just before retiring; and here comes the mysterious part-how the burglar succeeded in opening the win dow and entering the room without awakening the occupants, consisting of Mr. Stutts, his wife and two children; Mr. Newman, a miail contractor, sleeping in an adjoining room. Mr. Stutts thinks he and his wife must have been chloroformed. as they both slept late the next morning and felt queer and somewhat stupefied upon being roused from their slumbers. There was a lamp burning where Mr. Stutts and family were sleeping when the robbery took place. Mr. Stutts has no special rea son for suspecting any one, and it can scarcely be said that any clue exists to the robber;. This robbery of Mr. Stntts is all the more unfortunate, as the greater part of the moner stolen from him belonged to the State Dispensary, and it will be very hard on Mr. Stutts to have it to pay back. The Dispensary at Kingstree seems to be un fortunate, as about two years ago Mr. Mc Donald lost his position as dispenser by sending money through H. 0. Snow, whose checks proved not to be worth the paper they were written on. Mr. Stutts is looked upon as a straight forward and honest man, and has given very good satisfaction in his capacity as dispenser, and friends generally will regret to hear of his misfortune in having the money stolen from him. This is the second robbery that has oc cnrred in Kingstree recently. Te door to the safe in the express ofilee was blown off some weeks since, but fortunately the robbers were frightened away.

The continuous magnificent growth of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. of New York has for many decades been a source of pride to its many policy holders and of wonder to those interested in social economics throughout the civilized world. In many respects the Mutual Life stands alone as to its position. There is nothing like it- Its annual report of business for the year enditig December 31. 18903, the full details of which are now in the hands of Ithe New York State Insurance Departmuent, Ishows that the company possesses net assets aggregating S234,744,148.42. The books of the company indicate accordin to its own standard of policy valuation, a much larger sum than that, but this yeai the report is made in conformity with the -requirements of the State Department. which exclude. assets that are not realized1 upon, but which are proper to regard as -ultimately good and available. The liabil ities on tihe risks in force amount to $211., 010,633.72, leaving a surplus fund of $29, 73,514.70. This shows an increase in - mitted assets during 1b690, according to the New York State standard, of S15.040,0U5 22, -and an increase in surplus of $2,853.467 UG. T he total income of the campany for the ear was $49,712,G95 27. Trhe amount paid to poicy holders aggregated S25,437.5'0'.50. Since the date of its organ:zmtion, in 1843, the Mtual Life Insurance Company ha: rjpaid to living members S258,95h,451,451.53. and to the beneficiaries of deceased mum. bers $178,045,743.76, making a total o: I 437005,195.29. The company has insut ance in force amounting to over $tJ81, 000000.. Mainning- Academiy. The average attendance has been exce. lent during the past session, and the wori done by the pupils all that could be re quired. '1The term of the free public schoo: began on the first Mon day in Novembe last and ended on the 5th of March, givin; a term of sixteen weeks, and an appropria tion to the Academy of 895. This amoun was pro-rated equally to each pupil. Thoroughness, with an aim to improv< has always been en deavored. No pupil has ever lett the Academy or account of dissatisfaotion with the instrue ktion received. The discipline is firm, in Sstruction thcrough, and the patrons ar, pleased. It Pays to Advertise. We want our readers to look over our atdvertisint- colunns and reieibe r it is to those moerchanlts that the public ean thank for a newspaper being published in their commuunitv. The subscription list, of course heils, but the main dependence of a news'aper cones from mercLants who have enterprise enough to cater to the pub. lic for the cash trade. Any nuin with goois on h shees can sell them on cred:t and can ctmmiand such prices as justiti. s the risks lie takes. but the mierchant who endeavors to sell goods for the cash must reeet competition fairly and squarely. It is therefore safe to conclude that the ad vertising merchant has bought his goods to sell for the cash and there is the place to buy and save monev. Some merchants will try to convince the buyer that instead of giving the paper pay for advertising, the customer gets it in the decreased price of the goods, but that old yarn has become hackneyed and the people have learned better. They tind the more public spirited a merchant is, the more he caters for trade and the more anxious is he to outstrip his competitors: just lo k in the stores that advertise their wares and those that don't and see the difference in the stocks of goods and the number of customers. Mr. E. E. Dickson is having his resi dence overhauled. Rumor has it that one of our young men will take to himself a bride shortly. Del vestvrday, on Sante-, Mr. Elward P.
