Advantages.
1 Association of the People and foi
the People,
Protects Isolated Property,
No Salaried Officers.
Wo Loss--JNo expense
Speedy, Fair and Honorable Adjustment
to All.
Reasons T7hy You Should Insure Your Prop
erty with the Abbeville-Greenwood Mu
tual Insurance Association.
1. It is an Association of the
people, for the people, and we have
thoroughly demonstrated that mutual
insurance is practicable foi
/ and by homefolks.
2. This Association insures
against "fire and lightning, cyclones
tornadoes and wind storms," while
capital companies insure against fire
3 This Association has half ;i
million dollars of property insured,
and since its organization has paid
thirteen thousand dollars of losses
at an average annual assessment ol
one-half of one per cent., oiic-fil'Ui
of the eost of other companies, anc
not in a single instance, has it re
sorted to the aid of .the'Courts tc
collect an asscssmorit or to adjust i
loss.
4. By this plan 3*011 pay for tlx
protjjiifeien'you havo enjoyed in th<
^past, and if there is no loss, I hen
: is no expense ; while in other com
panies you pay in advance for pro
tection you expect to ^et; though
may not get except paid for dcarlj
by legal proceedings.
5. This plan is a contract betweei
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into a contract written
by the company, for the compan}and
against you. You can read anc
understand the policy of this com
pany. Few understand mi aver
age insurance policy.
6. Speedy, fair and honorable
adjustment of all losses of property
are made at assessed valuation
when insured, with no three-fourths
clause attached. The man whe
values your property is your neigh
who also adjusts your loss; while
in other companies, when you sus
tain a loss, a stranger comes and
looks into the ashes and says what
is to be paid you.
7. You can with small expense
insure against fire, wind and storm,
while a fire policy is about all you
can afford in the oiu companies.
You can enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing that if your dwelling is
burned, it is insured in an Association
composed of friends and neighbors,
who will pay every dollar at
which it was valued, and not be
subject to thousand and one restrictions,
imposed by other companies,
* more for their advantage than for
the protection of the insured. The
money paid out is kept at home, and
every dollar goes to the loser of
property, which means the upbuilding
of your own county.
8. Don't wait to be burned out
arid becomc a burden to j^our
friends by having them beg for 3'ou,
when absolute protection is yours
by easting in your mite. Demonstration
is a fact, and co-operation
is your duty. Therefore, at once
insure in tne Abbeville-Greenwood
Mutual Insurance Association.

The public will observe that tbe apportion*
lent Is very mucb smaller In some school
lstrlcts for the present year than for tbe
ast. This Is due to several causes, to wit:
ome School Districts overdrew their apporlonment
lor the previous year, and tbe overraft
was deducted from the present apposlonmeut.
In some districts lewer pupilave
been reported, the total number of cbll*
ren, however, bus been Increased which de
reased the per capita rate.
Tbe main cause of a decrease In fund Is the
ict that the apportionment for last year
broujjh an oversight) was more than tbe
inds actually on hand. Apportionments are
ased not on a certainty, but necessarily on
a approximation. Respectfully,
