THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 83,00 per Annum. The Deep flush of Midsummer. . Judge MEETON held Court throughout the whole of last week, working hard in the discharge of Equity' Dusiness. And uaw,'the Court being over, the deep hush Of-midsummer has fallen upon-us. But apropos of Judge MELTON^ he is a gifted and versatile mah. He has a fine voice and a fervent love of music. Without any Italian art, he sings both sentimental and humorous songs in most admirable taste and spirit, accompanying hims?lf at the piano witii perfect ease. . Our " gallant young friend. Capt. O. N. BUTLER, gave . him a supper during his sojourn here, at which a dozen or so right gay old boys, Jaanging from 25-to 60, hada decidedly fine time, and were very handsomely en tertained. Imagine Chancellor CARROLL reciting "Tam O'shanter/' and Gov. BONHAM singing " Fly Not Yet"-both with genuine appreciation of Burns. It was calculated to lake one back to better and mora genteel days. And now, again', . as. regards the deep hush of midsummer. It is profoundly upon us. And will not be broken until peaches, watermelons, and big meetings have fairly begur. We hear of no one going off to the mountains or watering places. Everybody is too pitifully poor.. Miss BtrTLEp's musical and dramatic entertainment is to take place on the night of the 30th instant. The'Soda Founts are in active play. As regards Ice Cream, we shall see no more until the Ni JTOW Gauge comes. The Horns Ctreiik people are going to give, soon, a grand combined barbecue andpic-nic. Itwillbedehghtful. We'll all go, and eat; and drink, and dance.'and ki ck up ourheel;-, to our very heart's con tent.- '-There is a time for everything you know, arid there is undoubtedly a time for.people to kick up their heels. And then we'll'all lean against the trunks of the shady trees, and sing "There's Rest for the Weary." And then some of ns will come horne,, while some will remain upon the ground ! Vp to our Waistband. . It catches us precisely to our waistband. And every body knows that while we are not a giant still we are not a wretched dwarf. Thorefore would you call it " fine" or not? It is a stalk of cotton, from Mr. L. B. SMITH of the Pine House vicinity. It is very green and robust 'too, and*full" of forms and blooms. And then we have a beautiful Cotton Bloom from our Mend, EMANUEL WHIT TLE, Esq.,. on Cloud's Creek, gathered this morning,-Wednesday 21st. . And "they tell us" Mr. J. MUNROE WISEx at the Pine House? has had blooms for three days past. If any can do better let him speak !. Tempting, Refreshing and Diver sified. Tempting, refreshing and diversified are the announcements made in our pa per to-day by that wide-awake Dealer in Provisions and Liquors, W. F. DURISOE? Esq. Just read them.

For the Advortiser. MR. EDITOR: It is known that money is much scarcer this year thart usual, owing to a variety of causes ; and your correspondent is. tired of hearing the oft repeated expression that life insurance is the cause of the scarcity, and with your kind indulgence he begs to make a few remarks, whicfi will show tho fallacy of the accusation. It is very well known that only a few outside of the mercantile business make these complaints against life insurance" If merchants had made their arrange ment? to sell on time, or partly so, tbey niight reasonably complain, and say di vide with us ; but they have not so pro posed; and it is presumable that every man who insures, has made up his mind how much he can insure for, and how much he can pay cash to merchants. Your correspondent knows no other term* than that of selfishness to apply to those, persons who would take all to themselves, and not allow others to pro vide for their furn il i es. Your correspondent has had some ex perience in life insurance, ,and knows that during this yeai-, only those persons have insured who have had surplus means. So that merchants, and all other persons in business, outside of farming, have gotten, or will get their full share of the little that was realized in the farm ing operations of lart year. .And your correspondent thinks that any one onght to fuel himself on ticklish ground who advises his neighbor not to -insure on purely selfish considerations. And further, Mr. Editor, insurance companies make themselves liable to very great amounts for only small annu al sums of money, and the writer chari tably concludes that it is really from want of knowledgo of the value of the institution of life insurance that any one would dissuade hi;; neighbor from laying hold of tho only prudent safety from self ish considerations. And still further, Sir. As the great and heavy liabilities in a life institution haVc to be met sooner or later, and that by -the small annual installments paid I in, it follows that the yearly surplus, and the claims by' death, must return the money, thereby equalizing property, and consequently benefiting the people und the country. Insurance is safe and profitable. There fore do not put it off. , . ^SPECTATOR. From the Abbeville Press it Banner. Tribute of Koptct. BETHEL Cur HUH, 1. May 20,1871. j The Quarterly Conference ol' the Nine ty-Six circuit have passed thc follo\vhi<i preamble and Resolutions in regard to the death of JAMES M. RICHARDSON, of Ninety-Six, Abbeville County. Whereas, this Conference riot being permitted to call tho name of James M.' Richardson on their roi); but being as sured that his name is enrolled in Heaven, would make some record of thc lifo and character of their deceased brother, who died the 11th of March, 1871, aged 58 years ; was an official member of the Church 15 years ; he was ever at his post when duty called ; and having what is not commony ampio worldly means, a generous heart and liberal hand, was ever ready to do whntevor the church said was his duty. Therefore, Resolved,. 1st, That in tho death of Brother James M. Richardson, the Nine tv-Six Circuit has lost ono of its most ei?$cb3Ut ?nd liberal stewards. Resolved, 2n?, That whilst sadness over whelms ns in the great loss, we cherish tho fond hope, that we will m eet our oc loved brother beyond the river. Resolved, 3d, .That on a page of the Conference journal, bia name bo inscrib ed as a memorial of onr lbye to him. Jlcxolved, 4th, That we mourn with his nfllicted wife and chUdfen ; andw?l pray that grace and" consolation may be given ?*hcva ; 'artd that they by his'Christian ex ample and the grace 'of'God' may be leH to tm*- sain n bright world above. .

Somebody shot somebody else's dog whereupon the latter (not the dog, but his owner,) brought an act-on to recover damages to the amount of $100. There was a mistrial before, and on Monday ! last the case was heard a second time be fore Trial Justice Hayne,- consuming the best part of a day. The jury this time agreed, and brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing the ' damages at $45. The report of this dog case occupies a column and a half in the Aileen Journal. gs- A women at Oberlin, Ohio, col lected money "foi- the soldier's orphans, and used it to buy a bonnet. She said, orphans, after they got used to' it, could get. along without bread; hut women miist have bonnets, or starve*. .tS-. A Virginia editor lent a copy of Defoe's "History of the Devil" toafriend, who borrowed it under the delusion that it was a biography of Ben Butler. gS~ " You say," said a Judge to a wit ness, '.-that the plaintiff resorted to an ingenious usc of circumstantial evidence ; state just exactly what jtou mean hy that." "Well," said rise witness, "my exact meaning is that he lied." if Near Darlington, DI., a few days ago, ahoy named Cousins, thirteen .years of age,'thought that he would go in to a pas I ture and have a little fun with a calf that was.there.. -A rope was tied around the ' animal's neck, and tho boy tied the other end around his own body, when the calf started to run, threw the boy down, and dragged him through brush and'among trees and stumps, how long it is not known. "Wien found, the calf, complete ly exhausted, had lain down, and near it ?ay the d??d body of the boy. . ?3- At the last session of the Legisla ture, by a piece of Radical chicanery, the limits of the Town of Timmonsville were extended, sb as to bring in more ngroes, and seouro control to the Repub licans. Ac-cordingly there was an elec tion, under the new charter, on the 7th . instant, resulting in the election of the entire Democratic ticket by a large ma jority. So it would appear that the col ored people in those' parts are beginning to lind, out a lit tit; more about the true character.Of their would-be Radical lead ers, and let them severely alone. ?33- The Little Rock (Arkansas) Ga zette is evidently "not posted on C. C. Bc .ven's history. It says he is the color ed Congressman from South Carolin?, and.that he is the worthy successor of j Whittemore, the cadet peddling Con gressman, who was. expelled by the House two years ago. g&~ A Boston lady thinks she is going to get to heaven on the strength of her well-known charity to the poor. She has frequently been known, without any dis play of ostentation, to boil a large num ber of eggs, and when tho poor people conle to her door distribute to tho hun gry call?rs'the soup that was left after boiling the-eggs. Such acts of charitj are unusual in Boston ; but that's a little too thin to get to heaven on without stir ring in a little thickening. ? PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENTS.-After an absence pf several weeks, (says the Wash ington Patriot.) the Pr?sident, accompa nied by a part* of his " military staff," honored the Capitol with-a flying visit during the last two days. His inst atten tions were humanelv rendered to a sick colt, which the last bulletins of thc . court {ournals announce to bc convalescent, thus lappily relieving the Executive mind from a serious cause of anxiety. In tear ing himself away from the bracing breeze's of Long Branch, and renouncing for for ty-eight hours, the charms of official inter course and personal relaxation, with that eminent statesman, Mr. Thomas Murphy, who now directs, the destiny of the New York customs, and equitably distributes the dividend-* of the " General Order Ring," the President has exibited a degree of self denial, which extorts praise from all sides. This and other sacrifices are not compen sated by the fact, that his salary is drawn with scrupulous regularity while at the Branch, since his cairn meditations at thc sea-side have undoubtedly as much value for the country as his disturbed thoughts hero in Washington, amidst angry factions and patriotic place-hunters.

This Company Offers the Following Important Advantages to thosc-l About Effecting Insurance on their Lives: . 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 Per Cent: less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regnrded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal an?oui.t of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING' YOUR LIFE PF. ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY .. . . ...,. , .-?...* . 'READ THE ff OIXOTV31VC : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Life Insurance Companied arc from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of wJiat arc necessary for a. sale and legitimate conduct, ol' the business.. In other words, carefully aiid"pr?dentlv-mahagc?l Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent! of the'amount charged for premiums. ... When Life Insurance .Companies were- first organized, the reliability of the data upon which thc premiums were constructed had. not undergone .the test of experience. It ss thought, therefore, no more than.commoa prudence to adopt # scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the pr~?u;ncd and unforeseen contingencies of the business. : , .. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it Was better to fix the rate too high than to incur thc risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case,-the. error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of tho premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of thc business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however,rhaving satisfactorily demonstrated .that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can tbere beMbf- maintaining them ? ' . . . . Availing themselv?s of this experience, the Directors and Managers of thc Universal Life Insurance Company, *at its Organization, adopted a scale of premiums- in accor dance therewith, and which has- proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are aboui twenty five per cent, lower than thoso charged by Mutual Companies. , . '.'. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from .prudent manage ment" justly and properly belonged, to the stockholders of the Company, for the. risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. ' . . Experience has shown th<tc there are sources of-profit in the practice of thc business which theory*will not admit of being considered as elements m the calculation of the premiums. These results from a saving in thc mortality of the members of a Com pany 'owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest oil the investments of the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of Policies by the members, and from other minor sources. 1 Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fab* amount of business, would give "to the stockholders dividends largely in ox cess of what were counted on by the Directors ol' the Universal- at thc tim? of its organization. They haye, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of the Company a large p?rt of the. profits accruing from the sources named, all of which have*heretofore been divided among the stockholders. ' The plan adopted for.'such division is as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockhol der to the extent of one-Annual Premium upon his Pobcy ; and will,share%n.theprofits of the Cojnpany topref?eiyife same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount oj'the capital stack: ? , By this system of Insurance, original with the- Universal, the p?Hcyholder" secures the following important advantages :' "' -FIRST? insurance ?ihe regxdar "Stock" rates, rcqidringaprimary.'oiUlay oj about twenty to thirty per'cent, less than that charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to'f yearly ".dividend" paid in advance of that amount .on mutual rates. This' low coat of.instaance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received m'premiums.from.lts policyholders the sum of. 31,517,000. To effect'the same amount'of insurance in a Mutual 'Company would''h?v? cost them an initial outlaV of $2,000,000"- --'?y allowing its policyholders io retain mtheir own nos session this "excess of ^83,000, thp Universal has virtually paid fMern a "? dividend* of .^83,00p,;'.aiid paid 'it, t?c^' in; crcfrancc, instead of at thc ena of one OE more years.. It is impossible to findant.exWple'of; a^! Mutual Company furnishing insurance at sp 1<JW a cost byrefnirningtif its'policyholdeira an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. Parlkipation tn the legitimate profits of thc Company "upon apian which secures to the policyholders ike-same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award to themselves.,.. This system. ef_pavt}cipation, in connection with tho low ." stock" rates of premium, must^ecesaarily. secure to th? policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent ami car?fat management. '. . ? 'The ' low rat?s- of . jremiunt- compel-economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate-wbioh is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies'; while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished ?O+i Thus by the'eombined. advantages arising from low stock rate arid -participation yin theyrofita it is ? confidently behoved that the.
