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.
Quito an ^interesting communication

gay "time up.in the mountains,) has been
ieceived, and will appear in our next

STRONG, CATOR <fe Co. They are the most
extensive dealers in Ribbons, and Milli
nery and Straw Goods, in this country
and stand high iii commercial circles as
? thoroughly reliable, .enterprising and
liberal house. We hope our merchants
visittng.JBaltimore will give this house
. ' a call.
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

Sixty-three dogs-all kinds and sizes
assembled the other night in our neigh

But, ic the greatest confusion, the dogs
all fled on the first.flash of our neigh

? miserable failure. Result: one dog,
'very dead, seven dog coUars, and three
dog chains were found in our neighbor's
garden next morning. 'Sich is life.

SALE OF THE DORN MINE.-Aa an item
of interest to our readers, we would state
that, during the past week, Mr. WRL B.
Dorn, has effected a sale of. his well-known
fold and manganese mines to Cyrus H
_IcConnick & Co., of New York, th?
lessees, for the sum of $20,000 ; a transfer
which will, perhaps, be equally beneficial
to all parties. A large amount of money
has been already invested in the erection
of costly machinery for the working of
thc mines, and we trust will bear its
legitimate fruits. We hail v.'ith. pleasure
thc introduction of capital into our midst;
and are prepared to second, . with heart
and hand, these efforts to develop our ma

Debility and Emaciation
Both result from the lack of abilitv to
convert tho food into nutriment. How
necessary, tlven, for those suffering from,
these alarming symptoms to immediate
ly resort to a remedy that will strengthen
the stomach and digestivo organs. For,
os soon as this desirable object has been
accomplished tho health improves, and
thc patient resumes his usual personal
appearance. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have attained a world wide popularity in
such ats??, and have been proven the
host and safest means of removing con
stipation, toning the stomach, giving en
ergy to the liver,' and relieving every
symptom bf nervousness and depression
of spirits. Its cheering and beneficial
effects are highly spoken of by thousands,
who owe to it their restoration to health.
No restorative in thc annals of medicine
has attained the same popularity in the
short space of time it has been before the
nubile, or has won the high endorse-1
menta accorded to this excellent tonic.
Many other preparations, purporting to
be correctives and restoratives, have been
introduced, and have perished one by
one, while thc popularity of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters continues to incroase,
and is now recognized as a standard
household medicine. Thc snccess which
attends the ase ol' the Bitters evinces at
once its virtues in all eases of debility
and disease of the stomach. Certificates,
almost without number, have been pub
lished, attesting its-truly miraculous
j lowen in reniuvirlg those painful and
fearful diseases. And at' this time'lt
seem-; idle to du more than call att^Qtioh
lo tho great mn edy of thc agg, '?n ordev
to aw^K m'pubiTc attention to its excel
lence It is the only preparation of the
kind that is reliable* in ali cases,.and it is
there/ore worthy of the consideration of
the afflicted.

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.
The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation,
guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not-in excess of tne cost
n well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed pian of participation in
,vhat may be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the coat will be still
'urther diminished. > .
Thus by the combined advantages arising from bwstock rate and . p?rticipation in
the profits it is confidently, believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY- offers insurance at' ita lowest practicable cost.
JSSjT Th,?86 of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in the Profits
ander the new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of
the Agents of the Company? '
The Company is in a sound financial condition.
