THE ADVERTISER. Terms? 83,00 per Annum. Railroad Meeting. Each and every one of our citizens feel tho want of a Railroad connecting the town of Edgefield with the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and each and every one is now inclined to put his shoulder to the wheel, and assist in building ? branch road. And in order to place this inclination in tangible shape, we are requested to give notice that a Railroad Meeting will bo held in tho Court Houso, on Monday next,-after the adjournment of the Convention to nominate Delegates to tho State conven tion, to take into consideration tho tax question, <fc?. Let all concerned come forward and take an active interest in this Railroad master. A Railroad -we want, and a Railroad we must have. Burial ol a Soldiers Remains. On Tuesday last the remains of the late Lieut. E. M. PEN*, of the 22nd Regt, S. C. V., reached his-family here, and were solemnly interred in the pres ence of many of his old friends and fel low-citizens. Lieut. PENN was wound ed at the battle ol' Sharpsburg in 1S63, and w,vs taken thence to the house of a private family near Frederick City, where he died and was buried. The noblo peo ple who nure ed him so faithfully until he was no more, carad equally for his grave through all the interver^g vears, until now he sleeps calmly I . J mother and sisters, and among tuc people,. who loved him so well. The Beal "Head Injuns." Last week we said that Dr. SANHERS and Mr. ?nARLIE ?HEATHAJ? were the " Head Lijuns" of this town, as regards gard wring and early vegetables. But we made a- mistake. Our friend OSCAR CHEAXHAM, turns out to be tho real "headInjun." On our table lie Irish Potatoes, a full mess of them, ai large as a hen's egg ; a Cabbage plant a foot, in height ; and a stalk of Corn on the vergo of tasseling. . So of course nobody will dispute the paint and feathers with OSCAR. ? ?????? i ?&i" Our correspondent " EXAMINER' call3 us to task for saying a few words in our last issue in iavor of the Universal Life Insurance Company of New York As we then stated, our comments' were basetl on the annual Statement of that Company for the year 1870. And after reading the article of " EXAMINER," and again referring to our remarks of last week:, wo see no cause for modifying or changing our then expressed opinions. True, we are most lamentably " unlearn ed in Life Insurance,"-and dare not hope ever to attain that degree of pro ficiency in tho wonderful workings of tho uystem, especially on thc "accu mulative principle," that our learned friend " EXAMINER" appears to have at tained ?o thoroughly,-yet we have had some experience in paying premiums on our Life Policies, and in Mutual Compa nies at that ; and have found to our utter astonishment that instead of the amount of our anni al premiums decreasing, as promised, they have had an upward ten dency. If we could see our Policy as sume thc bearings of the beautiful and attractive illustration as presented by "EXAMINER" we should be more than delighted. Our correspondent's very kimi caution in his concluding paragraph wo regard altogether unnecessary. Thc Agents in Edgefield for Life Insurance Companies are gentlemen in whom wo have confi dence. We know them all. And well do we know that Capt. GEO. B. LAKE, the Agent of the " Universal," who gave us the Statement to which we have allu ded, is worthy of, and has, thc unbound ed esteem of the people of Edgefield. He is not capable of intentionally leading us " into error," or "misrepresentinga rival institution." The Latest Richmond in the Field. The latest Richmond bl the Dry Goods field this Spring, is S.

All who attend may rest'assured that thoy will be fully re compensed by tho enjoyment of a rare musical and intellectual treat. And they will, at the same time, contrihuto to a most laudable undertaking. The Fashions of This World That Pass Away. The fashions of this world that pass away, are doubtless vain and delusive shadows. But nevertheless many of . them me very beautiful, and poor human nature (especially female human nature) is as prone to cling to them as the sparks are to fly upward. And since this is the case, Mrs. LECKIE, of Augusta, provides these shadows of Fashion as no one else, ])erhaps, South of the Potomac, can do. And after all, is it not the duty of wo man to make herself'look beautiful? It certainly is. Go right straight to Mrs. LECKIE'S, then, all yo fair ones of Edge field, and there choose ye the Adorn ments which so well become you. Paris is in sore confusion, and the fashions over j there are decidedly cranky ; but not so in Augusta with Mrs. LECKIE. Her Shop is Resplendent, and her fame reaches from Rome to Savannah, taking on Edgefiold by the way. Consult her hew advertisement, and take notes. For tho Advertiser. Editor Edgefield Advertiser : DEAR SIR :-The undersigned has care fully examined your articlo headed " Universal Life Insuxanco Company." There is no doubt, Sir, but that this Company has " abandoned thc garnish ol' periodical dividends" so far as its Policy Holders are concerned, but by no means as to its Stockholders. Its Policy Holders pay all the money, and its Stockholders get all the profits, as will be seen. "It claims rates .of premiums twenty -five per cent, less than those charged by mutual Companies," and any other Com pany .(mutual) will do precisely the same I thing, and be glad to accept the terms, if | they were satisfactory, but all mutual Companies know it would be a fraud upon their Policy Holders. Therefore, their Agents are not encouraged to make such propositions. Now, Sir, you show that ?1,517,000 lias been paid as premiums in said Cm versal Company, and that it would cost to effoct thc samo amount of insurance in a mu tual, $2,000,000-difference, $4S3,0O0. This is all granted to be true. Allow mo now to show you how this thing works, for I have observed that a man may be {learned in other respecte, yet may bc entirely unlearned in Lifo Insu rance. Tu illustrate : A man aged 30 years in sures In u MH?jial Company, and pays on 310,000, per year/, &204,40 In the Universal, or .Stock Compa ny ho pays, 103,30 Difference on $10,000, $41,10 Now, in the Universal, at the end often years he will have paid out, $1,035,00 That (^ducted from his Policy, would leave In's Policy, at thc end of ten years, worth only $8,367,00 Now take tho ease of a Policy of the same amount in a good Mutual Company on thc accumulative principle. In tho Mutual lie will have paid out at the end of ten years, $2,044,00 His additions would bo at thc end of thc ten years, 2,472,00 Leaving u ?j.cjir gain of Added to his Policy. ?214,011 10,000 Would leave $10,214,00 j Whereas you would bc left in thc Universal with only 8,307,00 Difference in the two plans, $1,847,00 Now you will perceive that if these two Policies go on ten years longer the Universal policy will bc worth only $6,732,00, w?ijis*. the Mutual policy will be worth, on the accumulative principle, $15,414,00,-and at this period will bo self sustaining and will yield an annuity. Thus you perceive that there is a tre mendous difference between the two | modes of insurance. It is always doubt ful if a Company is good when it under takes to set itself above every oilier, and talks much of its assets as compared with its liabilities. Yon say that the principle advocated by a Stock Company is the principle of business advocated by many accom plished Actuaries, for llifirp arc but very few purely Stock Companies in the Uni ted States. The undersigned furthermore cannot seo how this Universal can be distin guished ai?H'.e fourteen rivals of its age, when it is notorious ih^t }t impaired its Capital of ?200,000 to thc extent of $04,000 , the lirst few years of its operations. Let mc now caution you, Mr. Editor, not to be led into error by M persons or Agents interested in competing Compa nies-many of whom are ever ready to misrepresent rival institutions." EXAMINER. THINGS ts CHESTER.-A corresponden! of the Vorkvillc Enquirer, writing from Chester on the 17th, says: " The Chester National Bank opened its doors for busi ness to-dav. It is desired io increase the capital steck to ?100,000 by the first ol' Jtuy. ''.'herc are a groat many persons whose property, last fall, was assessed at a figure far in excess of its true value, and who have thereby been compelled to pay more than their just quota of the onerous taxes that were gathered. It may be well to state for top information of such, that, hy a proper rcpiu?cntaiiou made to "tin State auditor, through the county auditor, au order upon tho county treasurer can bc obtained for the refunding of so. much ol the tax as was charged upon the excessive valuation of tho property.

Moreover, there is no clime to which it has not proved to be well adapted for thu cure of a considerable variety of diseases ; It is a speedy and safo remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds and various other Injuries, as well as for dysentery, diarrhoea and bowel complaints gen erally, it is admirably suited for every race of men on the face of the globe. It is a very significant fact, that notwithstanding the long period of years that the ''Pain Killer" bas been before the world, it hus never lost one whit of ?ts popularity, but, OD the contrary, thc call for lt has steadily increased from its first discover}*, and at no previous time has the demand for it been so ereat, or the quantity made been so large, as it ls to day. Auollier significant fact is, that nowhere hat the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or been more generally used by families and individuals, (han it bas been here nt home, where it was first discovered and introduced.
