Wednesday, Sept. 20,1899. &*/ ???????? Life Insurance. If anybody wants proof of tbe manner In which life lcsutance is conducted, let him read tbe following;; Xew York, Sept. 13.?Special: More than half a billion dollars paid, up lojuiy 101 tbe current year the - Life Insurance Compaoj, of New York, has returned to its members $500,870,737. or over half a billion of dollars, and Its accumulated assets on that date were S28S.5S6.471. This shows that tbe company has practically paid out as much money to tbe Insuring public as any other two companies of like character, and tbat by holding a larger amount In apsets than any other compared It Is beyond question tbe largest and strongest Institution of Its kind Id the world. If our Interpretation of the above is correct, tbis Is a t .rtlflcate to tbe effect tbat the people have paid enormously for their Insurance. Nearly three hundred millions of dollars unnecessarily takeu from their customers^ of which fhct tbe company bdhsts. The Democratic party of tlie United States will likely assume to fight trusts. If such a course Is to be pursued by any political party greater relief can be given the people by limiting tbe extortion which Is now practiced upon me people in me insurance iuau iu inmost any other line of business. Life Insurance companies boast of their accumulated mllllODB as being a safeguard to their customers. The rapid Increase of the reserve or accumulated fund shows that somebody Is contributing to It. What legitimate business can pile up Its millions as fast as the life Insurance companies ? The Press and Banner has no advloe to give to anybody. The figures, which we quote, need no explanation. They show for themselves, and each man can draw his own conclusions. The vast sum that is now In the treasury, we presume, Is over and above the expense of doing business in the different cities in the finest offices In the world, and the cost of maintaining perhaps the most expensive system of agents, who get liberal commissions befcre the money reaches headquarters. - - , Basil ess Outlook. 1 While some of our people may think the ' ootiom oas aroppea oui 01 everyming, yei ' we believe that this town will have a better ] trade than It has bad for years. The price or cotton Is from $5 to 86 higher than it was last year, and you can bet a last year's bird's nest that we shall have a pretty Plalr showing at the staple. Owing to the great demand of the cotton mill for material to work, the market price of cotton Is higher than In less favored markets. < The high price which Is being paid lor cotton will Induce much cotton to come tblB way from the dividing lines between this and I v other markets. Another Indaoement to oome to Abbeville is the splendid assortment of goods tbat is to be found In oar stores. Our stores were never as fall, and tbe beauty and excellence of ttoe goods Is only equalled by the low prloes at whloh they are offered. rci,' ( Our pretty goods, even If we did not pay more for ootton than many surrounding markets Is enough to bring everybody to Abbe- | Title, at least onoe a year. , . ' , , r *' , II - Tbe Roller Mill. j We learn tbat tbe directors of the proposed new roller mill are looking forward to the or- 1 fciy- ganlxatlon of the company, and tbe building ' of their mill. Tbe S. A. L. offered a location < free of cost, but when tbe papers came a lease 1 for ten years was mentioned. This had a i chilling effect, from which it had not recover- I ed at last accounts. Some $?,000 has been subscribed, and, judging from the subscriptions l to the Cotton Mill, a small reduction may be I counted on. We haven't seen the list, but 1 presume It Is a good one, with slight allowances. Thla natrgnanar la nni InfnmaH a. ?ho roller-mill, but we saw a statement In oar exchanges wber# a correspondent bragged on < having one of the best mills In the State, 1 costing 83,100. If we are not In error In the i above, the $6,000 subscription ought to Insure | the mill. Eleotrlclty will be tried as a j motive power. < , , Beer Privll eice?. r' It Is possible that the Liquor Commissioners may rescind their action doing away with ] the bear privileges on the first of November. 1 The Prohibitionists may be able to give Bome ( good advise. Without knowing much of the t business, if it were left to this newspaper, we t should olose tbem forever. Not being charged t with the business we shall accept the action t ^>f the board, and let the wide world wag as It may. we nave naa oar rooms, anu-expanslonlsts, and free silver, and can let otherB take tbe beer business. t l ? Fall Farming:. , Without giving advice, or pretending to ( know anything about the matter, It seems to i us that everybody might profitably sow some of tbe ?all oropB, namely: Wheat, oats, barley, turnips. onions, strawberries, beets, and other things. Moses Tate, a colored man, living near Ab- ] bevllle has already sold this season more than ] <12 woCh of turnip sallad. He will plant an t - acre of onions, and next Spring will sell on- < Ions. He will make a good round sum off bte turnips this Fall. I % Bryan Getting Bight. 1 Bryan seems to be veering round. He will 1 have up-to-date planks in his platform by tbe 1 time the next Democratic Nominating Con- < ventlon meets. 1 < When be tears np the old platform, and throws out the free sliver plank there will be cause for lamentation In the editorial sanctums of tbose respected brethren who have been pinning their faltb to the 16-to-l business. j Good for.Gordon. I Gen. J. B. Gordon, of Georgia, bad the mis j fortune to have his dwelling bouse burnt , some time ago. His old soldier friends pto- f posed to rebuild it for blm, but the General 1 declined the proffered gift with thanks. The j public will honor blm for the act. General 1 Gordon is no beggar. The Difference. The difference between Tillman and bis ac- ' cusers seems to us to be about in this way; 6 Tho nnrtnln heUfivp Tillman and thav do not ( believe his aocusers. Tbey accepted Tillman's t kord as tbe truth, but bis mallgnerB bave not made tbe same Impression on tbe public. s ? I A Straw. , A whiskey constable resigned last week. The Governor will not appoint a successor. < Tbe Indications are tbat tbe number of wblskey conitableB will be still further reduced. The dispensary law Is better enforced now than at any previous time. 1 ft v ? 3 We pay more than the cash price for seed if you trade tbem out and no extra charge on . goodi. Aug.

To show that Abbeville U ahead of the profession, we quote the following prices of cotton, as published In the newspapers. The fact Is, the Abbeville Cotton Mill needs every bale that Is brought to this market, and will pay a liberal price for all that may come. rh? figures speak for themselves: MIDDLING COTTON, SEPT. 18. Abbeville, S. C., 6*4 u\s uqi v on iuu i vv(i. Norfolk, Vi%. Baltimore, 6%, Boston, 6%. Wilmington, 6]4. Philadelphia, 6%. Savannah, 5%. New Orleans. 515-10. Mobile, 5rX. Memphis, 6. Augusta, 61-16. Charleston, 518-16. Cincinnati, 5%. Louisville, 6%. St. Louis, 6. Houston, 61-16. New York, 6%. Seven Negroes Killed. In a riot at Cartervllle, Illinois, last week, the Yankees who love the colored brother so well, killed seven negroes. The negroes gave mortal oQense to ine striKing miners oy proposing to work, and bence those who couldn't get away quick enough were shot to death. We have beard that there was a riot laslyear, In a neighborhood called Phoenix, S. C., In which six negroes were killed. They hadn't tone anything worse than the killing of a white Democrat, and then at night waylaid ind shot two white men as they were going borne. The miners in Illinois were of course J ustiHable in killing negroes for wanting to work aut there seems to have been little excuse for killing the Phoenix negroes. Well Water. The work of puttlDg in an air compressor at >ur deep well progresses, and in a little while we shall know how much water to expect Irom our well. The air compressor has a capacity o MOO gallons a minute. If the water Is there the town of Abbeville will be all right >n the water question. Job Prlntluff. Ciriiom fnr Jnh nrlntinff nrn pominc to the Press and Banner In gratifying quantities. We have a busy place now, and a full corpsof jood printers.

While tbe Press and Banner thinks Captain Dreyfus ought to have come clear, yet we beieve we will not boycott the Paris Exposl .Ion. We may not be there, bat Dreyfus will :ut no Ice in the matter. Better Roads. It has been suggested tbat township bonds ae issued for the betterment of the public ilghways. As propositions to Increase the public debt generally meet with favor we ihall not be surprised to iee townships shoulierlDg debts of their own. PRETTY STORE.
