Advantages.
Association of the People and for
the People.
Protects Isolated Property.
No Salaried Officers.
No Loss?No Expense.
Speedy, Fair and Honorable Adjustment
to All.
Reasons Why You Should Insure Your Property
with the Abbeville-Greenwood Mutual
Insurance Association.
1. It is an Association of the
people, for the people, and we have
thoroughly demonstrated that mutual
insurance is practicable for
and by homefolks.
2. This Association insures
against "fire and lightning, cyclones, j
tornadoes and wind storms,'' while
capital companies insure against fire.
3. This Association has half a
million dollars of property insured,
and since its organization has paid
thirteen thousand dollars of losses,
at an average annual assessment of
one-half of one per <-ent., one-fifth
of the cost of other companies, and
not in a single instance has it resorted
to the aid of the Courts to
collect an assessment or to adjust a
, loss.
4. By this plan 3*011 pay for the
protection you have enjoyed in the
past, and if there is no loss, there
is no expense ; while in other com
Jpanies you pay in advance for protection
you expect to get though
may not get except paid for dearly
by legal proceedings.
5. This plan is a contract between
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into a contract written
by the company, for the company,
and against you. You can read and
understand the policy of this company.
Few understand an average
insurance policy.
6. Speedy, fair and honorable
adjustment of all losses of property
are made at assessed valuation
when insured, with no three-fourths
atfjirthfiH Thft mjin who
values your property is your ncighwho
also adjusts your loss; while
in other companies, when 3rou sustain
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 old 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
and become a burden to your
friends bv having them beg for vou.
when absolute protection is yours
by easting in your mite. Demonstration
is a faqtfc and co-operation
is your duty, 'frfrerefore, at onco
insure in tne Abbeville-Greenwood
Mutual InauraofeffAssociation.

;. Jbe public will observe that the apportionment
In very much smuller In come school
districts for the present year than for the
past. This Is due to several cruses, to wit:
Some School Districts overdrew their apportionment
lor the previous year, and the overdraft-was
deducted from ibe present appoatlonmeut.
In some districts fewer puplibave
been reported, the total number of children,
however, has been Increased which de
creased the per capita rate.
The rnalu cause of a decrease In fund Is the
fact that the apportionment for last year
(through an oversight) was more than the
funds actually on hand. Apportionment* are
based not on a certainty, but necessarily on
an approximation. Respectfully,
J. S. GIBERT,
Co. Supt. of Education.
