H., to Laurens C. H., is attracting tho attention and winning the undivided approbation of everyman at all interested in the welfare and prosperi ty of the country, or whoso possessions will.be enhanced by tho running of this road in proximity to his real estate. In fact, we have not as yet heard a single dissenting voice. Everybody in this -vi cinity is delighted w-ith . the route pro posed, and feels the utmost concern in seeing it built. And it can and must be built. Augusta wants this connection, Edgefield wants it, Ninety-Six wants it, Laurens wants it, and the people all along the route want it. Everybody is willing tb contribute- money, land or labor ; the amount of money required can be raised, and all that is now necessary to inaugurate the work is to hold meetings along'the line of road, have the proper Committees appointed to present the many advantages of the road, and solicit subscriptions. These Committees could soon canvass their respective localities; in a short time they could call a conven tion of th e Stockholders ; this convention could elect the President and Directors, the Company would be duly organized, and all proper arrangements made for the commencement of the road. To Laurens, Ninety-Six and Edgefield this road is of the utmost importance in giving them an easy outlet to the outside world, an excellent market, and cheap transportation for their products," and the delivery at their very doors as it were, of their plantation supplies, groceries, <fec, to say nothing of the enhanced value of their property, and the thousand and one-conveniences they would enjoy by having Railroad facilities. But to Au gusta, the construction of a road over the route indicated, would be of untold benefit. Say that equitable arrangement* could be made with the Charlotte, Colum bia ?fe Augusta Railroad for the use oj their road-bed from Augusta- to Pine House Depot, the distance then from ! Pine'House Depot to Ninety-Six, via Edgefielc". is only thirty-five miles, and would course through a rich and well cultivated farming belt, and one ovei which a road could be constructed at's cost far below the average amount re quisite in the building of Railroads in this country. On reaching Ninety-Six, and there intersecting the Greenville & Columbia Road, Western Carolina-Ab beville, Anderson, Pickens, Greenville, and their teeming vaUies-the great natu ral tributary to Augusta, would be open to the comp?tition of that city, and a vasl amount of cotton, corn, ?fee, <fec, now forwarded to Columbia and Charleston, simply because tho people in that section have no other outlet, would in a trice change its long accustomed channel and land in Augusta. And' then when the road, is completed to Laurens, (only about twenty-five miles farther on,) still an other very desirable portion of Carolina, -a magnificent cotton and grain country -would be of ready access to the favorite cotton mart on the Savannah. In short, Augusta cannot afford, ki thif day of her enterprise and prosperity, tc db without this grand connecting link towards the achievement of her future greatness and grandeur. Thc Road intent h? built.

We learn that the citizens o: Augusta are thoroughly interested it this undertaking, and fully appreciate the benefit that will certainly be secured . to that city by the completionof the road. The good people of Edgefield prefer il to any that has yet been suggested tc meet their wants-and, as the Road is tc pass by Ninety-six, wo doubt not thal the citizens in and around that place will give it their influence, supported by thoi; money. What will the people of Laurens do' We cannot afford to let so good an oppor tunity escape us. Friends from a dis tance" are ready and willing to help us, i wo only show a disposition to help our selves. The importance of this Road t< tho people of this County cannot be over estimated.

That Ring is deaf alike to the wants of our people and to the claim of honor pledged in the purchase of th Laurens Road. But the remedy to th es grievances is at hand. If the citizens c Laurens County are frilly alive to tliei true interests, there will be no hesita tion in embracing the offered aid c friends, who would link them with th busy marts of the world.

FURBER, vice-President JOHN H. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Med. Ex. This Company Offers the Following Important Advantages lo those 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 regarded as a Stockholder to the ?xtent 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 amount of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFOEE INSURING YOUE LIFE OE ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY . READ THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily chargedl>y Life Insurance Companies 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 prudentlv-managed 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 the premiums were coiitstr?cted had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter waa involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the 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 the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having 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 ita organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, and whick Bas proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower than those ebarged 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 ci the Company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience bas shown that there are sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements m the calculation of the premiums. These results from a saving in the mortality of the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on 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. Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in ex cess of what were counted on by ?he Directors of the Universal at the time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of the Company a largo part of the profits accruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division isi as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal m?, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and will share tri the profits of (he Company lo precisely the same extent-as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of the capital stock, . _ By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyholder secures the following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance at the regular " Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cent, less than that charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly " dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. 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 effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too. in advance, 'instead of at the end of one or more years. It is impossible to find'any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. Participation in the legitimate profits of the Company, upon apian which secures lo the policyholders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award lo themselves. This system of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure to the policyholders every possible advantage to be derivod 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 the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legitimate profits of the b'"ine3s, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. jpy Those of the existing Policyholders who desire tb participate in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to. the Head Office, or-to^ny of the Agents of the Company. < The Cb'.npahyis'inasound.fimncialcond??m. | Ratio of Assets to Liabilities 136 to 100. ??^GOOD -RELIABLE AGENTS.
