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.
