THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 83,00 per Annum. Crowded Ont. In order to make room for the several interesting communications in to-day's paper, to say nothing of the long and eri tertaining letter, from our Editor, we cheerfully defer much of our own Edito rial melange until next week, when several matters requiring attention, will have a hearing. The Aiken Premium Land Sale. Last week, at the instance of a ticket-, holder, we made some inquiries in refer ence to this grand scheme, and in to day's issue we have the pleasure of publishing a communication from J. C. DERBY, Esq., , the General Manager, in explanation. Mr. D's card is quite satisfactory ;-the drawing will be had on the 30th Novem ber, without 'tail ; and some fortunate ticket-holder is going to win a home and a fortune. Those who have not yet so cured a few of the tickets, would per haps do well to supply themselves forth-1 with, before the tickets are all sold. Early Potatoes. Mrs. SAMUEL MARSH presents us with a basKet of very fine Sweet Potatoes, of j this yearns growth, which surpass any thing-of the kind we have ever seen this early in the Potato season. THok you kindly, Mrs. S. We enjoyed your most . acceptable present amazingly, and again extend, our wannest thanks.

Railroad Prospects. - Our railroadprospects are indeed cheer ing,, and from, ai? directions wo have the most favorable words of hope and en couragemenjti ia reference to the new project of a Railroad from Augusta, via Edgefield, to Laurens, S. C, , The Augusta Chronitle ? Sentinel, no ticing this contemplated Road, says: We can assure out friend of the Ad vertiser that, so far as tho Clironiclc <t Sentinel ls concerned, the new road shall be warmly encouraged and supported. We have* long desired the building of such a line, knowing how greatly it wo:?' d benefit Augusta and her people, as v ell as the people of Edgefield a?J Laurens, for whose welfare we feel the deepest in terest We have no doubt that the mer Chants and business men of ; Augusta will give to the scheme their syinpath as well as-what is moro needed-their money. Augusta has always done a large . andlucxative business with*Edgefield and tim surrounding country, and gratitude I for pasfc favors, as well as the expectation of tuture ones, -will cause her to aid the enterprise to the'extent of her ability. In the mean??m?; let the peoplo of Ed ge field ami- Laurens show what thev intend doing in thennatter. Yea, say wor Jet's inaug?rate the enter prise at once-and show, tho outside world that we mean, business, and that we will contribute largely jf moi>ey and work ' towards the completion of this graqd project. But moro in relation to this Road, in our.noxt The Narrow Guage "We are very thankful to Col JAS. P. ^Low, Chief. Engiiieer of Blue Ridge Railroad, for a panrfphiet copy of his able and very interesting report on ihe pro j riety of changing the Blue Ridge Road irom a five i bot to a three foot guage. His argument is well put and convincing, and shows most conclusively ?that the "narrow guage will meet all the require ments of the road, and can be built at a cost of over (IO per cent, cheaper than on the common or Wide guage. We hope to make liberal and general extracts from thia report in future numbers of the Advertiser* "The Pride of Augusta." This is the very appropriate brand of | a sack of very superior Flour most con ? siderately sent us by that estimable and liberal gentleman, THOS. P. STOVALL, of] Augusta. This Flour was ground at Stovall's Excelsior Mills in Augusta, and is of "tlie same grade, if not better, than the article with which Mr. S. took the tir?t p remiums at tho Fairs in Charleston and Augusta last year. "The Pride of | Augusta" is a beautiful wbite Flour, and has all the requisite qualifications for ma king delightful bread, <fcc. If you want to please the good housewife, call?n your grocer fora sack of the "Pride of Au gusta." , It will give satisfaction in every partienJar..

This Company Offers the Following Important Advantages to those About Effecting Insurance on their Lives: 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from' 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than tbe Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium cn his Policy, and will share in the Profits pf the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amouLt of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFOUE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY . , READ T2?E FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the 'rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Life Insurance Compani& are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what are necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, of the amountcharged for premiums. . . When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone thc teat of experience. It. was thor 'ht, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premium? which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the DU3?UC93. . Aa long as the matter wa3 involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too bigh than to incur the risk of making k too low ; because, in the former case, the error :ould be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the lousiness and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, haying satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the 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 about twenty live per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch'as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined /ctr 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 that there are sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements m tho calculation of the premiums. These results from a saving in the raortality of the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments if the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits lerivable from the lppsing and surrender of Policies by the members, and from other ninor sources. Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ng a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in ex ;ess of what were counted on by the Directors of the Universal at the time of its irganization. They have, therefore, determined to divide .Mnong the policyholders of the Company a large part of the profits accruing from $e jources named, all of which lave heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is as follows : Every person who may hereafter j nsure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockpi ler t o the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and witt share in the profits )/ the Company io precisely the same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount tf the capital stock. ... . . By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyholder secures ;he following important advantages : Fi?sT. Insurance at the regular " Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay oj iboul twenty to thirty per cent, less than that charged by Mutual Companies, and vhich is equivalent to a yearly " dividend" paid in aavance of that amount on mutual .ates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. . Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum Of $1,517,000. To iffect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost ?em an nitial outlay of $2,000,000 .Ey allowing its pblicyholders to retain-in their own pos lession this excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid th?m a " dividend of [>483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at t^e ena of one or more years. It s impossibl? to find any'example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so ow a cost by returning to impolicy holders, an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND* Partidpation in, fae legitimate p-ofits of the Company, upon apian which tecures to the pol??yhf04is, the same treatment which Directors ana Stockholders award o ?A?a&e2w& ' This system of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates )f premium, must necessarily secure to the policyholders every possible advantage to je derived from prudent and careful management.
