CHESTNUT GROVE CHAT.
X Discourses ou the Good Qualities of the Potato,
the Ouioit and the Pea?An Old Debating
Society Joke?Other Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Chestnut Grove, March 7.-?The old
woman that prayed for it to rain at night
and on Sunday, so that the hired men could
have a chance to rest, would have come
pretty near getting her petition answered if
it had been offered up for the past thirty
days. The rains that we had during that
time having either been at night or on Sunday.
They have been gentle, however, and
have retarded the work of the farmers but
little. There is a goodeal of corn land ready
for planting, and if this balmy weather continues,
there will be a number of acres planted
in this community in the next two weeks.
It would be a good idea for the farmers to
plant large patches of sweet and Irish potatoes.
The swee* potato can be cooked in a
variety of ways and makes a wholesome and
palatable diet. Dr. Bratton says that a
healthy person who makes Irish potatoes and
buttermilk bis principal iooa,ougiu ue\cr iu
die except with old age. He says, however,
that the potato ought to be fully ripe before
it is eaten. But in a hard year like this, I ex4
pect a fellow's stomach will be so contracted
that he can eat them a little green without
loosening up things too much.
Onions are being more largely planted
than usual. There is no vegetable more
palatable than an onion. It is very stimulating,
and yet it is a great nervine. I once
saw a man who was sick with fever, so nervous
and restless, that all of the doctor's
efforts failed to quiet him. An old woman
present suggested to the doctor to grease
the bottom of the patient's feet and rub them
with a piece of an onion. The remedy acted
like a charm, and the patient was soon sleeping
quietly. Good corn bread, and an onion
with a little salt, will give a sick man an
appetite, and a well man can work longer
on it than almost any other diet.
If the seed can be obtained, there will be
a an unusually large quantity of pease planted.
Experienced farmers say that it is the best
to plant them in the corn, so that they will
get one working before the corn is laid by.
Let us have pease. Almost everybody likes
them and a little piece of bacon will season
a large pot of pease.
Billy Thomas said when he heard about
Preston having ham boiled in champagne,
"that he wouldn't care anything about the
meat; the 'pot liquor' would do him." If
" we can get plenty of peas and pot liquor
seasoned with a little bacon, we can afford
to do without the meat. Everyone, so far
as I know, in this community, have so far
had an abundance of the necessaries of life
and maqy of the luxuries, and I believe
that this is the case all over the county, but
owing to the short crop there will be many
who will not have enough to supply their
wants until another crop is made, so it behooves
us to plant for man and beasts these
crops that will come early, and help to sustain
life.
The amount of guano will be small compared
to what has generally been used. It
don't pay to buy guano to raise cotton at
six cents a pound.
There was a lively debate at the academy
on Thursday evening last. The subject was
<<RoanlvMl that woman has more influence
over men than money." Trial Justice Carroll,
Mr. Cal Clark and Professor John E.
Carroll, represented the affirmative. Mr.
Henry Conner and Mr. Barron the negative.
The jury tied and the president havs
ing the casting vote, decided in favor of the
negative side.
Debating societies have long been popular
in Western York, and they have been both
instructive and entertaining. They have
their humorous side also, and many are the
anecdotes related about the debates of our
forefathers. One told me by an old- stager
will bear publication. He says that a good
many years ago, some miles above here, a
debating society was formed, among the
principal debaters in which were old Mr.
Robin Whitesides and Mr. James Ray. On
one occasion the query was "Which is the
greatest, the works of God or the works of
man ?" Uucle Robin made a powerful argument
in favor of the works of God, dwelling
especially on the point that He mode mau
himself. Mr. Ray replied and closed by
saying: "Mr. President, when God made
man he done mightily ; but when a man made
a watch he beat him." This was a clincher,
and the question was decided in favor of
man's work.
The exercises at the Academy on Friday
evening were euieriuuuug as wen ?o man
ive. Several gentlemen and ladies were
present and took part in the spelling match
and Quizzing Club.
There will be a debate at the school house
on Wednesday evening, March 9, at 7.30
o'clock. x.
ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.
Another Destructive Fire?Assaulted a Train
?More Negroes Leave for the West?Other
Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Rock Hill, March 8.?The alarm of fire
was again sounded Sunday night about 9
o'clock by the electric light whistle, and it was
discovered that the magnificent plant of the
Cochran Cotton Seed Oil mills was on fire.
It caught in the west wing of the building,
which w:ia a wooden structure, filled with,
" fibre and cotton seed, and directly connected
with the main building, which was a two
story brick building containing most all of
the machinery, and some 150 barrels of oil.
In a few seconds after the lire was discovered,
it made its way through the wooden
? building to the second story of the building
which contained two huge cisterns filled with
oil, and the scene presented was such as was
never before witnessed by the people of
Rock Hill. It was not long before the
second floor was burned out when the cisterns,
which weighed several tons each,
1' *? x * ~ AL/.U dil\ n nun c?V? 1
wuo ineir couienis, ieu unuu^u mm a nuou ,
to the first floor, on which there was about
100 more barrels of oil. Thorougly saturated
with oil from the overturned cisterns,!
the second floor was soon a seething flame,
which for an hour or more burned with such j
fierce intensity, that even the very best fire
facilities could have scarcely amounted to;
more than child's play.
The fire department turned out promptly,
and did good work in preventing the spread
of the flames. They worked all day i
yesterday trying to extinguish the flames in 1
the main pile of cotton seed, composed of;
about 20,000 tons, which is still slowly burning.
The loss of the Cochran company is $35,000,!
on which they han $32,000 insurance. This
company had the plant leased from the Rock
Hill Cotton Seed Oil and Fertilizer company,
which also loses heavily by the fire. They |
estimate their plant at $30,000, on which j
they have $20,000 insurance. The gin house |
and office were saved, and these with the
grounds, will reduce the actual loss to about i
$5,000.
The oil mills were run night and day, I
and furnished employment to a hundred or
more hands. These of course are now idle.
The loss of this enterprise, if permanent,!
would be a severe blow to the town. It;
put iuto circulation some $1,200 or $1,500
each month, besides furnishing a home
market for all the cotton seed raised in the
surrounding country.
Some think that the fire was incendiary,
as it caught at an hour when the people
were going home from church. Others believe,
however, that the fire originated from
spontaneous combustion.
Some villain threw a padlock into the
northbound passenger train last Tuesday
night, and struck a Mrs. Jones, of Raleigh,
N. C., in the face. Mr. J. S. Wooten at once
pulled the train down, and, accompanied by
Mr. Izard, went back down the track and
attempted to arrest a negro whom they supposed
to be the guilty party, but he refused
to be arrested and opened fire on Messrs.
Wooten and Izard. lie managed to make
his escape, but has since been arrested and is
now held by Colonel Waters for a preliminary
examination.
Another car of forty or fifty negroes left
last week for the West. This time, as before,
they boarded a car that had been side-1
tracked for them at the river trestle.
Rev. W. M. Anderson preached an interesting
sermon on temperance, in the Methodist
church, to a packed audience, last Sunday
night.
Miss Mamie Meacham. of Pineville, N. C.,
is visiting Miss Mamie Hull.
Mr. F. II. Wardlaw, from Davidson college,
N. C., is visiting friends at this place.
Mr. J. A. Smith, a printer, formerly with
the Lancaster Ledger, has accepted a position
with The Herald.
Mr. W. H. Stewart, who has been confined
to his room for some time with grip, is im
proving. His wife is also prostrated from
the same cause.
Mrs. W. A. Fewell, who lias also been
prostrated from the same cause, together
with pneumonia, is able to be up again.
The musical concert given by the ladies of
the graded school last night, for tlie benefit
of the school library, was quite a success,

The Graded School to be Continued by Private
Subscritions?Au Enterprising ThiefTown
Election?Delegate to the World's
Fair Meeting.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Blacksburg, March S.?At a meeting of
our citizens who are especially interested in
the graded school on Tuesday last, a committee
was appointed to take charge, temporarily
of the school, select teachers and make
other arrangements for its continuation during
the balance of the regular term. About
ninety children were entered on the subecription
list. Superintendent Spessard and
Misses Belk and Gregory, were selected to
teach them, and the school was resumed
yesterday morning under the new regime.
Friday night Charlie Potton, colored, with
several aliases, stole a mule and wagon from
George Smith, colored, who lives at the old
Guntharpe place, near town, and drove up
T>-,J fin lionl* (hit Tlirpc Cr

depot, and loaded with a bale of cotton
which belonged to Dr. D. S. Ramseur. He
then proceeded to Grover by a very circuitous
route, and arrived there about daylight.
He offered the cotton for sale: but under
such suspicious circumstances, he could not
find a purchaser, and left there for King's
Mountain. In the meantime D?. Ramseur,
Smith and other parties were after their
stolen property, and having heard from
Grover of Patton's progress, telegraphed to
Mr. Charles Hambright, of that place, to
pursue and arrest him. He was caught
about three miles this side of King's Mountain,
and after a show of resistance, arrested
and brought to this place, from whence he
was committed to the county jail by Trial
Justice Camp, and taken there yesterday by
Mr. Ed. Ballow.
Dr. Ramseur sold his cotton at Grover,
and says that it was the only bale he ever
tried to "hold," and was not even allowed to
keep it for a higher price.
Messrs. Ed Davies and Sam and-Gus Deal
left on Saturday to attend a three months'
session at the Atlanta Business college.
The town council at the regular meeting
held yesterday, ordered an election to be
held on the 28th iust., for their successors in
office.
Mr. W. B de Loach, as a delegate from
the Blaeksburg board of trade, will attend
the meeting this week, at Columbia, of those
who are interested in having South Carolina

LOWRYSVILLE NOTES.
Measles?Rev. Mr. White Returns From Florida?Olil
Acquaintances.
Correspondence of the York ville Enquirer.
Lowrysville, March 8.?A heavy rain
last night will stop the plow for several days.
R. G. Smith and T. S. Lowry have had
measles since returning from Greenville. It
is hoped that the contagion will spread no
further, as it will seriously interfere with our
school.
Rev. W. G. White has returned from a
trip to Florida. He reports a very enjoyable
trip and a pleasant stay of two weeks
in the Land of Flowers. It is surmised that
the trip will be repeated at some future
time and that he will have company on his
return.
Your correspondent was pleased to meet
recently at Chester, several old time friends
from Hoodtown, Dowdletown and Gould.
I found them in possession of the same warm
aud generous natures as of old. May they
all live long and prosper. This renewing of
old acquaintances forms a pleasant oasis in
the path of life, which tends to renew the
strength for the journey on, and are as welcome
as the oases in the great deserts of the
earth are to the weary and thirsty traveler
when he crosses them. w. o. ?. [

time James will probably be hanged.
? Mrs Anne K. Ktackhouse, wife of Hon. j
E. T. Stackhouse, congressman from the
Sixth district, died at her home in Marion
on Tuesday of bust week. Colonel Stackhouse

old, is so prostrated with grief at his great
loss, that it has been reported that he will
retire from congress. The report, however,
does not come from an official source.
? Greenville News : The report of the railroads
for the month of January last to the
State railroad commissioners, with six roads

$275,000. This is the largest decrease in
South Carolina roads ever shown in any
month since the record has been kept.

boy was not responsible, as he was but 5
years old.

red in the sessions court today, says a Charleston
special of last Thursday. Sam Randall,
a negro, who had been tried three times
for outraging a negro girl named Clemida
| Ressv, and escaped twice by mistrial, was
I today convicted of aggravated assault. The
! case of a woman who was jointy indicted
with him for the rape had been nol prossed.
After conviction, Randall was told to stand
up and receive sentence, which the court
fixed at one year in the penitentiary.
While the court was yet speaking, Randall
leaned down, whipped a knife out of his
shoe and deliberately cut his throat in the
presence of the court, officers and spectators.
It was a broad gash, extending from ear to
ear, but a couple of bailiffs grabbed him and
prompt surgical aid was secured. Randall,
i who is a notorious criminal, said his reason
j for attempting suicide was because he was
! disgraced by the sentence. The knife which
! he used was made out of a bit of iron taken
I from a shoe and sharpened. It was coni
ccaled in the lining of his shoe. The wound
| is not likely to prove fatal, and the negro is
j being closely watched to prevent his doing
| himself further injury.
? Van Thomasson, a negro, was hanged
in Abbeville last Friday for the murder of
John Brackett, another negro, on May 2,
1891. The story of the crime is about as
follows: Bracket was an industrious and
thrifty negro engaged in getting out crossties
for the 6., C. and N. railroad. He had
accumulated $40 or $50, and one day Thorn
asson happened to see the money. Thomasson
hired himself to Bracket to help get out
crossties, and while the two were working in
a thick wood, Thomasson knocked Brackett
on the head with an axe. The object of the
I murder was money, but the murderer, after
! going through his victim's clothes, obtained
I only about $4.2o. The crime was discover!
ed soon after, but Thomasson had gotten
j away, and was not arrested until November,
I when he was captured at the Ilaile gold
; mine, in Lancaster. On the gallows Thom1
asson made a full confession of his foul deed,
and also confessed to having murdered nn!
other negro, Ephraim Ladis, in Chester
j county, on December 22, 1889. His connec[
tion with the latter crime had never been
I suspected.
| ? Florence special to The Stnte, Friday:
| A horrible murder occurred here last night
j about 11 o'clock. There was a regular "ou|
rangoutang" dance going on at Abraham
I Murphy's (colored) cook shop, corner Dargan
and Darlington streets. During the
evening's entertainment, while William Nelson
was looking on, Will Dinkins stepped on
Nelson's toes. Nelson cursed Dinkins, and
a quarrel ensued, Nelson retreating toward
'the door. Ed, a brother of Will Dinkins,
caught Nelson and held him, while Will cut
i Nelson's throat from ear to ear, almost severing
the head from the body. Nelson staggered
and fell, dying before the doctor could
reach the spot. The floor of the dive was
covered with blood from the wound. The
crowd at once rushed out of the building, the
Dinkins boys making their escape. Ed was
captured early this morning by Policeman
Jenkins at his brother's house. Will Dinkins
was captured this afternoon by Police
man Smart, hiding in a culvert on the theraw
and Darlington railroad. Both are now
in jail.
Edgefield Wants a Primary.?A mass
meeting was held at Edgefield last Saturday
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
convention to be held in Columbia on the
the 24th instant. The meeting was not
very strong numerically, but was composed
of representative men whose influence in the
county is unquestioned. Delegates to the
Columbia convention were elected as foli
lows: J. C. Sheppard, J. H. Brooks, ThomI

i J. H. Jennings, J. C. P. Rauch, J. W. Forrest,
A. C. Stalcsworth, M. P. Wells, J. R.
! Beall and Mark Tony. Before the meeting
i adjourned, the following preamble and resoj
lutions were adopted without opposition :
"We believe that white supremacy is essential
to the perpetuation of our institutions and to
the maintenance of good government in South
Carolina. We believe that harmony and unity in
the Democratic party is essential to the preservation
of white supremacy in South Carolina.
The harmony of the Democratic party has been
broken and we believe that its unity is imperiled
by the partisan purposes of the State executive
committee and by the prescriptive method
of the present administration. We believe
that the harmony of the Democratic party can
be restored and its unity preserved by according
to each and every white Democratic, voter an
equal voice in the selection of ollicials, and this
can be done effectively only by a direct vote of
the people in primary elections for the nominees
of the party, Therefore be it
Resolved, That the nominees of the Democratic
party for all State oflicers from governor
down should be chosen by a primary election,
at which each and every voter should have the
right to vote directly for the candidate of his
choice, and that each and every person participating
in such election should be obligated
strictly so abide the result of such election and
to support the nominees of the party so chosen.
"That wo cordially invite our fellow Democrats
to co-operate with us in securing such modification
of existing regulations as will accomplish
such purposes."

CATTLE POWDERS is the name of this
?reat preparation, and it is the linest formula
finr kponinor nil kinds of live stock in a healthy
dominion." It AIDS IN DIGESTION and so
assimilates with the food as to bring about a
saving of thirty-three per cent, of the corn or
Dats which it would otherwise require. THE
PRICES OF THESE POWDERS ARE i
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER PACKAGE,
hut as an inducement to PAY CASH, and to
help you along, in these dull times, we will give
j'ou Irom this date until further notice, . i
i
Three Pactaaes for FIFTY CENTS. ,
Now think of it, rich fanners, poor farmers
and everyone of you, ONE FULL SIXTEEN
OUNCE PACKAGE OF HORSE AND CATTLE
POWDERS FOR SIXTEEN CENTS!
It is equal to FOUR BUSHELS OF CORN or
rme hundred bundles of fodder. You don't
know what the saving is until you try it, and if
you get three packages and they don't save a
plO bill and improve the condition of the stock,
then veterinary is a failure, and we say quit.
Yes, these powders will save 33 per cent, of the
feed you give your stock, and to take com at 75
cents a bushel will more than pay for the powders
with the first bushel saved. 1
Save and Live Close,
Make every cent cut its way to the core, think
how to make money and save it. Be cautious
and buy only that which will better y our condition,
or that which is yours. Buy three packages
of CATTLE POWDERS FOR FIFTY

SAVE THE PURE SIMON PURE CASH.

CALISAYA, IRON AND QUININE,
Is the name of the l>est Tonic in the world?it
beats everything else for Grip Coughs, Colds or

CLOSING OUT.
WE want to close out our stock of Winter
Dress Goods, Ladies' Jackets, Blankets
and Flannels, and if leaving original cost entirely
out of the question will be any inducement
to purchasers, we will do it. The goods are desirable
and wo cordially invite all in need of
any of the abovfc mentioned articles to cull and
inspect. We feel safe in making the assertion
that in no single instance will we fail to make a
side when the quality and price is a consideration.
We have long since learned that in order
to sell goods it is necessary to meet competition,
both legitimate and illegitimate, and we propose
to use our knowledge with a vengeance.
We still have a few suits of Boy's Clothing in
stock and will sell them at prices that will amaze
the most econominal buyers
SCHOOL BOOKS.
The attention of parents and teachers is called
to the fact that we are headquarters for School
Books. We always try to keep in stock a full
supply of the various text books usually used in
the schools in this section, and can furnish any
Book not in stock within four days. Now don't
forget us when you want school books.
TRUMP SOAP.
It has been said by sonic one that "economy is
wealth," and by somebody else, "a dollar saved
is a dollar earned," and by still another, "take
care of the dimes and the dollars will take care
of themselves." Now, the reader may naturally
inquire what all these adages have to do with
Trump Soap. We will explain : It is the largest
tive-cents-a-cake Soap (six-for-a-quarter) we
have ever handled or known to be handled in
this section, and is pronounced by all who have
tested it to be superior to any other for the
laundry, the kitchen ami for dirt and grease moving.
So you can readily see that it will bo economy
to buy it, that you will save dollars in the
course of a year, and that you will be taking care
of the (limes. A trial of one cake will convince
you.
Ferry and Landreth's Garden Seeds are the
best. We have a supply of all varieties.
KENNEDY BUGS. A BARRON.
RIDDLE A CARROLL.
OF ALL SEASONS
IN tlii? year the present is the one at whieli the
patient and long-sulforing housekeeper is
most perplexed by that momentous question of
"What shall 1 have for breakfast, dinner or supper?"
We think we can "throw out" some hints
that will, in a measure, solve the problem. For
breakfast we would suggest biscuits made of KM)
Per Cent. Flour, short nod with pure leaf lard,
and made with lioyal Baking Powder; nicely
fried Magnolia Ham and plenty of gravy; a dish
of rice or Pearl <Irits or Hacker's Oatmeal:
a plate of freshly laid eggs, either soil boiled
or fried ; a pitcher ot choice new crop New Orleans
molasses [we have some that would make
the average honey bee turn green with envy];
some nice wallles or batter cakes made of buckwheat
or corn meal and Km) Per Cent. Flour (half
and half); a cake of fresh home made butter, (we
I don't usually keep butter because we can't always
get the kind recommended); and a pot of
good, strong thoroughly settled collce made from
the celebrated Ariea Boasted Codec or our livepounds
for ?l.tm Bio and sweetened with our 3)
pounds for a ?d.(M> Standard Ornnulatcd Sugar.
Now will the above bill of fare do for breakfast ?
If it will, you can usually find everything mentioned
at our store except those things which
I we stated we did not keep.
NOW FOR DINNER.
j If you sowed turnips last fall you now probably
have a line lot of what plain folks used to
call "greens," but what some folks now call
"salad." Anvwav, cook a liberal supply of these,
(they are sail) to lie very healthv) and be sure to
season them with a good sized piece of bacon;
bake a cakeof corn bread out of home raised corn
meal, and make it like your mother used to;
boiled Magnolia Ham; canned tomatoes; salmon
salad ; biscuit similar to those recommended
for breakfast. Our space is, we think, about
full and we will have to ask the reader to call at
our place of business and get an oral statement
as to the remainder of the dinner, and also to
hear our suggestions as to the evening meal.

MmMARBLBI1D!
I HAVE just completed my new MARBLE
YARD, which is located just south of and adjoining
my store house and photograph gallery
lot, near the Chester and Lenoir depot. It is
well stocked with numerous designs of MONUMENTS
AND TOMBSTONES of the very
BEST QUALITY, a consideration which is too
often lost sight of by purchasers, to the detriment
of the lasting qualities of the stone purchased.
In the upper, or "old yard," will be
found ante a number of designs that I prefer
to sell lrom there rather than move to my new
yard, on which, of course, liberal inducements
will be offered to purchasers from that yard.
Erect monuments over your loved ones who
have gone before;
IT IS A DUTY
That the living may easily perform for the dead,
besides it teaches a moral lesson that makes us
better men and better women, and produces a
sentiment to do better and nobler things. It
makes our surroundings more pleasant on this
earth, which, at most, is "only a. few days."
CONSULT WITH ME.
When you have decided to do honor to your
dead, or when you want any information with
regard to Monuments or Tombstones, you will
find it to your interest to consult with me. I
will cheerfully give information and exhibit
designs ana explain tne reianve vaiutra ui muuumental
stone, and, last but not least,I will quote
prices that will secure your order.

THE statement that the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association of New York furnishes life
insurance at less than half the rates charged by the
old line life insurance companies, has been repeatedly
made in these columns during the past
ten months, and scores of newspaper articles
from the editorial columns of leading American
newspapers?statements that cannot be bought
with money?and last, but not least, voluntary
and unconditional endersements from prominent
citzens all over the land, have been laid before
the readers of this paper, and "now we propose
to give a few facts and figures and defy any man
to prove that they are not absolutely correct.
The 20 Year "Endowment" Policy.
Now, in order to make our meaning clear, we
will take first the case of an insurable man or
woman of the age of 40 and compare the difference
in cost between what the old line companies
designate as a "Twenty Year Endowment
Policy"?the kind a great many sensible men
are deluded into taking?for 810,000, and a "Ten
Year Distribution Policy" in the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association for a similar amount.
We find by reference to the rate table of a leading
old line company that their charge per $1,000
of insurance under the "endowment system" is
$53, or $530 for $10,000. By reference to the rates
of the Mutual Reserve, we find that its rate is
$10.20 per $1,000 or $102 for $10,000. We further
find that the annual difference in cost in favor of
the Mutual Reserve on $10,000 insurance is $.'108.
Now if you will take your insurance in the Mutual
Reserve and put the difference in cost between
it and the old line company in a slocking or
bury it in the ground each year fortwenty years,
you will at the end of that time have saved $7,300
in clean cash. And on the other hand, if you will
take your $368 and invest it each year at 5 per
cent., (is that too high?) at the end of five years
your saving and interest will amount to $2,134;
at the end of the fifteenth year to $8,338; at the
end of the twentieth year, $12,709; so it will be
seen, the natural investment of the difference of
cost would amount to $12,709, or $2,709 more than
the face of the endowment policy for which you
would have been paying. In case of death at the
end of the tenth year, the benefits accruing under
the Mutua! Reserve plan, to the estate of the deceased,
would be $14,801; should'death occur on
the twentieth year, thcestato would receive $22,809
as against $10,000 from the level premium
company.
Now if the theory of chance is taken into consideration
and the assured realizes that there are
two chances to one that he will not survive the
twenty years, should he keep up his insurance,
the fallacy of endowment insurance in the light
of the facts given is self-apparent.
The 'Twenty .Payment ' roncy.
We will now take another form of policy that
is very popular with a great many who go in
without investigating. It is called the "TwentyPayment
Life Policy." We will use the same
age?10?and the same amount?$10,000?as in the
first illustration. We find that the rate charged
by the old line companies for this kind of policy
is ?19.80 per $1,000, or $398 for $10,000. Deduct
$162?the Mutual Reserve rate for a $10,000 policy?from
$.'198 and the result is $236. Should the
insured live to the expiration of his twenty years,
he would receive from the level premium company
a paid up policy of $10,000. The difference
of premium in favor of the Mutual Reserve at
5 per cent, would have amounted to $7,915. The
interest on $7,915 at 5 per cent, would be $395.75
a year, of which amount $102 would continue
to carry the $10,000 policy in the Mutual Reserve
and leave a balance of $233.75 annually in addition.
In case of death during or aller'the twentieth
year, his estate, in addition to the $10,000
received from the Mutual Reserve, would be
worth at least $7,915 more than it would have
been had he bought the old line company's
"Twenty Payment Life Policy "
Is it necessary to carry the illustration any
further? Does it look to yoH as if a man in his
right mind, atler he knows that he can buy a certain
article of exactly the same value as the one
he has been buying, at less than half the cost,
will continue to buv the high priced article?
Another great udvantangcof the Mutual Reserve
system is that it places insurance that insures,
within the reach of persons of moderate
means.
The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association
writes policies in any amount from $1,000 to
$30,000. Its rates range all the way from $13.80
for a person of 25, to $13.08 for a person of 00.
