LIFE INSURANCE.
President Carrington Speaks.
He Refused to Pay a Policy after a
Jury of Uood Citizens Adjudged
that he Should Pay.
His Idea of Justice to the Widow.
"Who are best legal judges of facts?:
I should say the Courts; in fact in dis-;
puted matters the Courts alone decide!
legal facts, and a* no Court has decided1
we have "grossly violated contracts," it
cannot be an asserted legal fact."
VV. C. Carrington, President ofj
the Piedmont Arlington Insurance!
Company, makes the above statementi
in the Edgefield Advertiser. The probability
is that the Company, who pre-.
I?red the contract, were shrewd enough ,
to keep out of the clutches of the law.
When a man has the making of a eon-i
tract, and the putting in of all tlie pro-|
visions, it is a poor chance if be can't!
- out-general the fanner, who has but j
little Jogal information. The poor man j
Jtas a slim chance against a life insurance
company. This same company
paid $550 for an attorney to deprive a
Vi-dow at Williamston, of a policy, but
never a cent were they willing to give
;the willow. Theirown attorney thought j
they ought to pay the claim; but no,
Ahey wanted a precedent, and they got |
it, and the company refused to pay a j
%>olicv rvftich a jury of good citizens at\
Anderson adjudged thai th<y shouldj
pap.
Do you not know that the people can-1
not go to law with you in the hope of
success? Suppose, after fighting you
for years in our Courts, we obtain a
-a judgment, will you please tell uswnat
it would he worth?. Have you any
jpronerty in our State from which we
.could make the money? Would not all
jlkis trouble have to be repeated in transferring
the claim to Virginia? Who
of us are able to hire lawyers to run to;
ltichmond periodically for years in pur-!
;?uitof a doubtful claim?
Will Mr. Carrington please answer)
.this question: Did the company not getj
these people's money? If *o, what ben-j
efit have they received at your lusnds?
Have you given them a paid-up policy. |
or have you confiscated their money, as,
thousands of dollars have been for the!
?l?eop!e in Abbeville? These are plain,
."queatlou*, which mav be answered with-1
outgoing to law. Have not our poorj
people been turned away unfeelingly. I
.after paying money to your company for
yearn ?
' The conduct of the company toward#
Mrs. Donald satisfied a great many
in this community as to the fair dealingj
[of the company, and until the Compa-j
ny nays what the Anderson jury award-j
,ied ner, we think he should talk less of
the fair dealing of his Company.
Abbeville has always supported the|
Piedmont and Arlington Company
loont liberally, and we are sorry to note
the Company's pickayune act in with-l
.holding a poor widow's dues upon I
.luere technical grounds, and until they

vsrn our people against Mr. Carring-1
ton's Company. We trust, however, I
for the sake of justice, for the preserva- j
tion of their honor, and for the preser-i
wation of the good name of an institution
which claims to benefit their patron.
that they will allow no foul blot
ito rent upon their escutcheon.
* Does Mr. Carrington ask us for the.
.names of other good citizens who have I
Aicen m in treated by his Company?
There are others, and we think our I
jjwople should be on guard when they
jnKure. Is not the Piedmont and Ar-j
lington the only Company that has resisted
a claim in our Courts?
Is it a Violation of the Third Coinmaudmcnt
?
The editor of the C'hi Mian Neighbor j'
*t Columbia has been the recipient of
.a letter from an esteemed and pious divine
who writes to him thus:
"Dkar Bhotiucr.?i am getting well

line, "Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to
thee." j'

of Him who made us, on his lips in the 1
second line. If he can do so, why cannot
we do ho, aud if we can do so, why . ]
can not anybody do so? We see no ex-1 i
option to the rule in the Bible granting !<
minister* a greater familiarity with the j <
Deity than is allowed to ordinary men.M
We ask for information and trust thatji
the Christian brother will inform us:<
why he can talk so familiarly of the'<

instructed never to take the name ofi
tlie Creator on our lips, except in rever- !

during their sermons repeating the
jiame so often would lead us common {'
winners to believe that they are not!
.amenable to the law which says: "Thou :
-shait not take the name of the Lord thy j
<iod in vain."
The Centennial Tea Party at Atlanta.;
The elite of Atlanta have just been
enjoying an entertainment termed "The
Centennial Tea l'arty," the result of
which, the Atlanta Constitution says, is
partially seen in the magnitude und
jnagnilicence of the varied display*
ayade. There were thirteen tables representing
the thirteen original states of
the Union. Of the tables the Cumtitu- j
Hon says: "The rows Df tables, no two
of which are constructed upon the same
plan, and each differing in its adornments
and attractions, gives an ever
! - -- - ..../i
pleasing variety lu uic m-vnc, aim v.?v i
interest <>( the spectator does not tire ori
llag in the effort to see and compreheud j
all that is shown," and thus speaks of
the South Carolina table : "South Carolina,
the uueonquerable Palmetto state,
is represented by a tasteful and elegant j
booth, of which Mrs. Miles Turpin is
the accomplished directress. A confederate
battle-llag that liasevidently "been |
Ihere" adorns out; side, while a blue
jxalmetto flag, belonging to the "Uuion-1
ville rifles" beautifies the of her. The
-centre is filled with a white palmetto!
flsg, the state colors. Here, on this I
.table, we see dolls in all styles, sizes and '
fashions, and particularly a grotesque
^centennial couple.
Mr. J. N. Ilobxon,
x>f Charleston, exclusively and favora-J
jbly known as a dealer in Fertilizers, is
traveling through the State renewing
liimsplf with his old friends, and intro
ducing his new fertilizer: Our readers I
know our antipathy to the use of fertilizers,
but if they will buy it, we would !
?ggeommend them to try Mr. Kobson's j
the reason that he is a live, energetic, j
practical man. We believe that Cburies- j
ton has no better citizen than Mr. li. j
and his success in life is abundant evi-j

Now Paper.
We have received from Lewis M
Grist, Esq., proprietor of tha
old journal, the Yorkviltc Enquirer, \
prospectus of "7'he Family Vtxitor" t
be published bi-weekly, at the low pric<
of $1.50 a year.
If his terms to exchanges are as big}
with that paper as with the Enquirer
we don't expect it to be a visitor at ou
sanctum. The editor some time ag<
wanted us to do thirty or forty dollars
worth of advertising to induce him t<
send us the Enquirer, which is a tw?
dollar paper. We couldn't "sec it," am
the Enquirer never came. When sue!
papers as the New York Daily ITcrah
will make an even exchange with i
rural paper, it seems to us that a litth
weekly country paper is putting on air;
when it assumes to make such demand!
of its less pretentious neighbors. A
present we get on very well without tin
Yorkvillc Enquirer, and shall never set
it if we have to pay thirty or forty dol
lars a year in advertising to induce tha
paper to grace our otlice as an exchange
The J'icken's Sentinel serves our purpos<
just as well, and does not cost as much.
The Jackson Literary Society.
This popular and nourishing Delia
ting Society, which numbers in it:
membership the elite of our youn? men
proposes to give a public entertaimnen
in tne Court House on Tuesday night
the 21st inst., consisting of valedictory
and inaugural addresses from the re
tiring and newly elected president;
respective!}', together with other speech
es. oriirinal and select, and essays by
the Members, the whole to conclude
with a supper and dance at the arudemy.
The program me of exercises i>
varied and attractive, and the interest
of the occasion will be enhanced b>
some choice music from the Abbevllli
Stringed Hand. The public are invited
to the exercises in the Court Iicuse, ami
will doubtless need no second invitation
to an entertainment which promises t(
be so attractive.
"Come and Pay."?Subscribers who
are indebted to us. are urged to call at
our ollicc, ami pay their indebtedness,
We are in need of money. We have
waited patiently on them, and now that
their cotton is marketable, we wish tfi
be puid. If you don't owe but a dollar,
coiue and pay it. The amounts due us,
generally are small, and all the small
sums added together, will relieve us materially."
The above is what our neighbor
of the True Sout/iron has to say about
it. Friends, do your consciences sntite
you ?

Arcriox SaJiK. ? In Greenville and
other towns auctioneers are required t<
pay a heavy special license to carry on
their business, and we think our town
council should pass a similar ordinance.
This would be only justice to our merchants,
who are among us and of us,
and who bear the heat and burthen of
taxation during the dull months as well
as during the busy season. All transient
traders of this kind should be required
to pay a high tax or license.

How Barksdai.k (!ot His Nkw

hat to the man who should buy the Jar
gest hill of trees. Mr. B. I). Barksdah
wore oil' the hat on yesterday, he having
bought thirty-four dollars worth oi
fruit trees. He bought fifty dollar.1!
worth last year, and expects to bu\
more next season. He will plant twenty
acres before he stops.

Mr. B. F. Crawford, one of our
best citizens, and an excellent fanner,
was in town a few days ago. We regrel
to learn from him that he expects leave
the County. He is disgusted with tlu
way our "aflairs are worked, and wil
try other fields of usefulness. Abbeville
regrets to Jose so good a man.
A Good Indication.?We think il
a good indication to see so limited a demand
for mules at this time. There ar(
many second-hand mules and horses in
the County for sale, the owners having
planted largely of oats, wheat and bar
ley.
There will be a great reduction o
the large farms this Fall. Many of oui
planters are going to plant on a less extended
and less expensive scale. Tc
make their lands profitable immcnsi
quantities of small grain have beer
sowed.
Last week we announced that oui

ducks which do most congregate abou

Sunday School Celebration.
The anniversary of the Sunday-school

a church of this place, was duly celebra0
ted on Sunday last. The church was
c handsomely and appropriately decorated,
in a style which retlcctcd the higli1
est credit 011 Mrs. H. W. Lawson and
, other ladies of the congregation, and
r the exercises were of a very interesting
5 character. The Sunday-school numbers
' over eighty pupils, under .the charge of
3 Mr. Geo. \V. Syfan, assisted by a corps
3 of competent teachers.
1 After the satisfactory and interesting >
i morning exercises of the school, an exl
ccllent missionary sermon was preached
i by the ltev. Mr. Webber, of the Wil*
liamston Female College, from John
* ii: 2!), "Behold the Lamb of God," bes
fore a large and attentive audience.
t In the afternoon, addresses were dcj
livered by the Revs. Mr. Webber and
i Mr. Mood, a nephew of the preacher
- iii charge of this church, and then the!
t pastor, Mr. Mood, read an interesting
. report of the Society, from which it ap?
peared that some $04 had been contrib.
uted to the mission work?a gratifying
exhibit.
At night a large audience assembled,
and listeued to an admirable sermon
of Kev. Mr. Webber, from Psalm lxi:2,
"Leadme to the rock that is higher
* than I."
j The singing of the congregation is led
by a choir, of which Mr. Willie T. Mc;
Donald is principal, and Mrs. McDonald
' performer upon the melodeon, both cx"
cellent musicians; and hence the fine
5 music added much to the pleasure of
j the occasion.

Woi'Min't Pay. ? Henry Johnson
j last week for some offence, was (1 tied in
i Judge Hughes Court $1 and costs,
which were $8.75, or sentenced to lie
. seventeen days in jail, and was allowed '
I to go out to raise the money. Instead of
I raising the money he reported to the .
i Sheriff', saying that he "had come to 1
, stay awhile with him." The Sheriff
supposing that he liacl come to hire in- 1
formed him that he didn't need his ser- ;
vices, when Henry explained the mat- 1
1 ter, saying that he had enough money 1
to pay the fine, but that he wanted to (
spend it during the Christmas holidays.
' lie is now in jail at the expense of the
tax-payers, that he may spend the mon- |
1 ey during the Christmas holidays,
i Comment unnecessary.
Gi;x. Pl'Hvis, an alderman of the city
. of Columbia, was in town last week, 1
and the guest of Senator Hollinshead. j
. We see it slated in the papers that he !
was in the party who committed that 1
gross outrage in Columbia last week in
dragging tlie poor defenceless demi 1
inonde of the city from their beds to the
guard house at midnight. We hardly
I think it true that a man of his good ini
telligencecould be accessory to the comi
milting of so great a crime against
women. He surely was not with the
party.
Tiik CiRcrs. ? We call attention to

Governor may not act hastily in the
matter. We regard Mr. Hemphill as
j. one of the best Trial Justices in the upr
country, and have never heard any ,
good reason urged for his removal.
Col. J. W. Livingston, member to

Complexion of the 17. S. Senate.
The United States Senate, at its next

as follows: Forty Republican?,

and three Independant Republins?Booth,
Christiancy, and Cameron
Wisconsin. There are two vacancies
be filled, one caused by the recent
>ath of Mr. Ferry,of Connecticut, and
e eternal vacancy from Louisiana
aimed by Piuchback. A Democratic
snator will be chosen in place of Ferry,
Connecticut, which will give the
cmoerats thirty, instead of twentylie
votes. Should a Democrat be
ected from Louisiana, as ia thought
obable, and he be admitted to a seat,
hicli is believed improbable, the Dem-rats
will muster. thirty-one votes,

ill be seen at a glance that when they

Cotton Stealing.
Cotton stealing has become so enormous
an evil, that it threatens to destroy
the planting interests in some sections,
whilst from all parts of the State comes
up the demand for additional legislation
to check the growing evil. Judges
Mackey and Cooke have sought to enforce
the existing law, and have urged
upon existing grand juries the full exercise
of their powers in the premises,
but under the existing law these powers
are entirely insufficient to repress the
evil, growing out of the impossibility
of identifying the stolen articles, ami
bringing home the offence to the door
of the guilty partiee.
In a memorial to the Legislature,
which has been extensively circulated
in Aiken County, and which we line]
published in the Tribune, the following
suggestions are made:
"That it shall be unlawful for anj
country store, or any known or secret
partner thereof, or for any trading person
or post whatever, in any case, di
recny or inuirecuy, 10 iiwuib, uj ^u.chasu,
trade or exchange any cotton ii
the seed.
That such store, post or person shal
in no case procure us mentioned, a 113
grain, forage or other agricultural pro
duct between the hours of sunset ant
sunrise, and that for all such articles
procured between the hours of sunrise
and sunset a book shall be kept, open t(
public inspection, in which shall b(
recorded the kind, quantity, conditioi
and value of such article, the date 0
the transaction, and the party thereto
that the burden of proof shall rest 01
the parties so procuring, that thearticlei
are not store goods, ami that the par tie:
so procuring shall be held to be ixirti
ccjJH criminis in all cases of theft.
That all such stores and posts shall b
closed at usual bedtime, or at an hou
notlaterthan Oo'clock at night, through
out the year, not to re-open earlier thai
sunrise in the morning; that any vio
lation of this rule shall be prima faci
evidence of a larcenous act or inlertt.
That such facilities for prompt lega
process shall be provided, and such pen
alties for violation attached as shall b
effectual."
This meets the evil and crushes it n
the very threshold, prohibiting as it i
suggested all traffic in seed cotton, am
all traffic within certain hours in an;
produce. The matter calls for the eui
nest attention and prompt action of tli
Legislature, and we feel assured tha
the greatness of the evil has impres.se
that body with the necessity of som
effective legislative action.
The Whiskey King.
The whiskey trials now going on a

attention, as they show a large and we

"Cotton has sunk rapidly every sueicessive
year since the war, uutil we see 11
' lit now from fifty-two cents a pound in 'i
ISCU to twelve cents in 1875. A very few I
I months more of that headlong speed in

i handicrafts when the markets overstock- J

l "It is also in the power of the intelli- I

s such a diversion of their labor as still to
- employ it all profitably and increase .
their own productive wealth, instead of
e sinking down into a destructive and de- .
r grading poverty which shall deprive
- them of the comforts and elegances of rj
i life. We can apply a larger portion of j
- our agricultural labor to the cereals and a
c grasses and to the production of animal s
food and laboring stock. We can pro- h
,1 duce fruit crops, rice, sugar, tobacco, Si- J

e inenso quantity of bagging we annually j
consume; and we can, if we would, add \
t at least twenty-five percent, to our an- j
s nual revenues on the fleece of sheep and
:1 of the variety of valuable goats.
y " The vast range of our productive ca -
pacities admits of not the first, reasona

g South Carolina Minerals.
>r
x- Prof. Charles U. Shepherd. Jr., of the
i- Medical College of the State of South
i- Carolina, at Charleston, request parties
il who are desirous of sending minerals
b and ores for exhibition at the C'entennii
al, and afterwards to be kept on exhibi1,
tion in the Sntithsonion Institute at
i. Washington, to communicate with him.
h He says, a complete collection of the var
rious ores of Soutli Carolina, embracing
the products of her rjolil, copper t iron,
i- manganese, kaolin, corundum, mica,
j- p/ionphatic and other uiines, exposed to
t, view before the eyes or the world, first
it at the Centennial exhibition, and afternl
wards in the pcrma/if/i/museum of the
z- Smithsonian Institution at Washingh
ton, would serve as the strongest attracv
tion to labor and capital aiike. It is
id needless to add that there is a deplorable
li- want of accurate knowledge as to the
ie varied and valuable mineral deposits of
e- this State, even among her own citizens,
se which may properly be ascribed to the
us lack of any large and illustrative collecie
tion of her mineral products. The contemplated
museum would r.ot only obviate
this sad deficiency, but prove a
safe repository for such valuable specimens
as might be useful to the scientist
jj. who should desire to study and describe
the resources of our mines.
jD Parties desirous of sending minerals
in nml ores for the National Museum, nre
cli requested to communicatejwith the nnp
dersigned, who will forward them all

in The time is short before the opening of
