LETTER FROM TIRZAH.
Prospects Brightening1?Cotton as a Surplus?
The Fertiliser Question?Road Working.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Tirzah, March 14.?After troubles and
trials and tribulations, mingled with short
crops, hard times and low prices of cotton,
Tirzah "arises Phcenix like" from many
trials and misfortunes and puts on a broad
smile with prospects of a bright future.
Ours is a farming community, or rather
was up to last year; but like all others, we
seem not to farm on the right principle,
namely: hog and hominy first, then cotton
only as a#surplus.
The short crops and low prices seem to
have brought about a revolution, at least in
the minds of the farmers. And they, by talk
at least, are cutting down both acreage in
cotton and the use of fertilizers. Well, cot-:
ton is not planted yet, and I can't say as to
the cutting down of the acreage, but I hope
. it will be done.
The guano business is still rather backward.
Up to this time last year, more than
500 tons had been brought to this place, and
up to date there has only been about 150
tons. But I uote with a "twinkle in the eye."
that those who a month ago were not going
to use "but very little, if any at all," are the
first to come with their wagons when a carload
arrives, and they come so often that I
am beginning to be fearful that if the sales
this year^o not compare with those of last
year, it will be caused largely from inability
of would-be purchasers to secure what they
x want.
Farm work generally is fully a month
ahead of what it was last year, and every!
body seems to be working with extraordinary
will and determination.
The storehouse and goods formerly belonging
to H. Massey & Co., but recently
purchased from the assignee, Mr. J. F. Wallace,
by Mr. F. H. Brown, is again opened
up. Mr. P. Y. Rudasill has been retained
as manager of the business.
Our other merchants seem to be doiug a
fairly good business, considering the scarcity
of-money.
Some of our young people made an attempt
to attend the Mikado minstrel exhibition
in Yorkville last Wednesday night,
but had a break down on the road, about
half way to their destination, and had to turn
back. I am certain no lives were lost, though
I do not know the exact extent of the damage
done. It is said, however, that one of
the party had to punch himself next morning
to ascertain whether or not he was still
alive.
Our school is flourishing, with a goodly
number of scholars, under the management
of Miss Lillie Allison as teacher.
Road working is the order of the day, and
it is, as usual, a "walk over" with a "lick
and a promise." That is about all that the
roads are getting. . Tirzah.
LETTER PKUM BLAIKSVILLC.
Work on the Farms?Personal Notes? Reorganization
of the Baud.
* Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Blairsville, March 14.?The nice weather
continues, and farmers are making considerable
headway preparing their lands for
cotton and corn. The click of the distributor,
the rattle of the guano horn, and Cuffee's
songs are mingling in inspiring harmony. I
understand that some of our early birds
have already planted a good deal of upland
corn, and it is safe to say that a good deal
more will be planted this week.
Judging /rom the amount of guano that is
being hauled, I believe there will be nearly
as much used this year as usual, but it is
likely that it will be applied to a smaller
area of land.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Sherer, of Blacksburg,
spent several days with friends near this
place last week.
Mrs. W. A. J. Robinson, of Clifton, S. C.,
spent a few days with her father, Mr. Elijah
Nix, last week, but has returned home.
Miss Sallie E. Plaxico, of Hood town, is
spending a few days with friends at Sharon.
Miss Jerusha Mitchell, of White Oak, spent
several days at this place last week. .
Mr. Joe Plaxico, who has been quite sick,
is able to be out again.
The Blairsville band met last Saturday
evening and organized as follows : A. L. C.
Robinson, 1st Eb cornet; R. H. Sherer, 2nd

LETTER PROM ANTIOCH.
A Very Old Chnreh?Closing of the SchoolCorn
on King's Creek?Small Grain.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Antioch, March 14.?As The Enquirer j
has no correspondent at this place, I will try j
to let i:s readers know something of the
happenings of ike vicinity.
Antioch church is, as nearly every one in
the county knows, an influential centre of'
the Baptist church. It is an old place of j
worship, and many of the first settlers of
the county lie in the churchyard. The congregation
has, within the past few years,
built a commodious and stylish church,
which reflects credit on their industry and
peraeverence.
The school at Antioch, which has been in
charge of Mr. Frank Johnson, closed last
. Thursday. School Commissioner James
Cansler was present, and aided in conducting
the examinations. He also made an
address on the importance of education to
successful life. His speech, as usual, abounded
in racy anecdotes, and was enjoyed by
those present. It might also be mentioned
that Mr. Cansler shook hands with the
votere in a way that seems to indicate that j
he will be heard from in the coming cam- ]
paign.
One of your correspondents, in the last |
issue, said there was plenty of corn on King's I
creek, but that it was in the "extract." I
invite him to come and see the cribs of corn j
and the smokehouses of meat, and, unless
he calls home-raised bacon "extract of corn,"
he must own that there is "plenty of corn
on King's creek."

thoughts Ho lightly turu to love," but if any
of the young meu in this vicinity do much
thinking on this subject, they do it while at
work, for every one seems to be busy getting (
ready for another crop.
There is a larger acreage in small grain
this year than usual, but it is not looking
well at present. The farmer, however, can
still hope, if there is any truth in the old
Dutch saying, that "a fair Ash Wednesday
makes a good wheat crop."
Mr. John Hughes was painfully hurt last
Wednesday, while on his way to school, by
a falling limb.
The measles and roseola have been going
the rounds, but no one has been seriously ill
with either, so far. uncle jeff.
LETTER FROM TEXAS.
A Former York County Man Seudu a Mes- |
gage to the People at Home.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Chicota, Lamar county, Tex., March 7.?
I desire to give the readers of The Enquirer
a few points about the "Lone Star"
State.
Health has not been very good in this j
neighborhood this winter. We have had la j
grippe, followed by pneumonia, and the j
mortality in the community has been very |
great, but I believe that the worst is now j
about over.
Among the deaths was that of Mr. J. M. i
Jenkins, formerly of York county, S. C., who
died quite suddenly. He had been rather '
unwell for several days but was not confined
to his bed. On the 17th ultimo, after eating;
his supper and taking his tobacco as usual,
he retired. About midnight, some member of
the family woke him up to give him some
quinine, but he said that he would not take
it until later.' Next morning he was dead.
He was 73 years of age.
Farmers are busy preparing for corn, of
which there will be a large crop planted.;
Some are done planting. There is also a j
large crop of oats sown and the stand is
very good. Very little wheat has been sown,
but it is looking very well.
Cotton is so low in price that there will
not be as much planted as usual. People
are agreeing to try to raise something to eat,
although many are preparing their cotton
land for a crop, and some will plant pretty
largely of the fleecy staple. There was
something over 1,200 bales raised in "Boggy
Bend," and I don't suppose so much as onethird
of the Bend is under cultivation. W. i
A. J. Black has ginned near 600 hales ; McMillin
& Co. have ginned over 500 hales, and
three other gins have each ginned a little.
Well, Texas is considered a rou,jh place.
I will give you an account of an election
that we had sometime ago on local option.
This county is divided into precincts '.ustead
of townships, as York. Our justice precinct
is divided into three voting precincts.
Central Springs, or Chicota precinct, polled
176 votes on local option, and of these 168
were in opposition to whisky, while only 8
were in favor of it. Chicota.
LETTER FROM FORT MILL.
A Bold Burglary?Election of Officers?How
to Malts Manure?Other Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Fort Mill, March 15.?This place was
visited by an unusually hold band of burglars
last Wednesday night. They broke into the
Richmond and Danville railroad depot, rolled
out the safe, broke it open with cold
chisels and crowbars, and stole about $50 in
money besides some valuable papers and a
gold ring belonging to Mr. Meacham, the
agent, and worth about $20. Several people
heard the burglars hammering at the safe
about 3 o'clock Thursday morning, but as the
idea of robbery never entered their heads they
did not get up to see what the matter was.

srs. Harris, Pottg & Belk, andjMr. S. M*. Mills.
They only got seventy cents in coppers from
Mr. Mills, but from Messrs. Harris, Potts
&^Belk, they got about $7 or $8 in change.
There is no clue to the robbers, but they
were evidently professionals. This kind of
thing is an entirely new experience over
here, and that is how the burglars happened
to have such a soft snap of it.
The directors of the Luna fat iory held a
meeting yesterday and elected Mr. J. W.
Ardrey, president, Mr. J. P. Bailes, vicepresident,
and Mr. C. P. Culp, secretary and
treasurer. They also appointed the following
building committee: J. W. Ardrey, M.
M. Mauney and J. M. Spratt. The committee
was instructed to push the work of
building the mill forward as rapidly as possible.
Mr. J. L. Kimbrell tells me a story about
manure that may be worth something to
somebody. Last year he had five hogs in a
pen and this year three. He has been keeping
the pen well supplied with litter all the
while, and did not remove the manure until
recently. When he went to haul it away
he found that he had forty two-horse wagon
loads.
The citizens of this place have decided to
improve the roads leading out from the
town, and today made application for the
use of the rock crusher next fall, recently
bought by the county.
A very successful union meeting has been
going on at this place for the past ten days.
It is being conducted by the pastors of the
respective churches here and great good is
being accomplished. c.

Condition of Farm Work?Planting CornDecrease
in the Cotton Acreage?The Use
of Guano?Other Matters.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Gould, March 14.?This morning is rather
cool with the wind blowing from the north.
The weather during the past two months
has been all that the farmers could ask.
There have been good seasons, sufficient almost
every week to keep the ground from
getting hard, and the farmer-, are fully as
far along with their work as they were this
time two years ago.
I have heard of some corn being planted
already, and if the weather continues favorable,
it is likely that a great deal more will
be plauted this week.
There will be some decrease in the cotton
acreage, though not so much as has been
reported in some other sections. The fact
is, a decrease is not necessary down this
way. Most of our farmers have long since
adopted the plan of raising their own meat
and bread, making their cotton as a surplus.
The acreage in oats is about the same
as usual, and generally the stand is very
good, though the crop is two or three weeks
later than I have seen it in previous years.
The quantity of wheat sown last fall was
fully double that of the year before, but it
is not making much of a show yet. There
is some complaint of a bad si and.
Those who intend using guano have been
hauling, and some ure now engaged in putting
it in. The amount used this year is
not likely to be more than half of that used
last year.
School Commissioner Cansler paid our
section a visit a few days ago. He is more
frequent in his visits than any commissioner
that we have ever had. Perhaps it is because
there are so many good looking lady
teachers in charge of the schools. H.

Grover, N. C., March 14.?A ride through :
the country just now will convince anyone
that the farmers, though discouraged at the
low price of cotton, have not given up yet.
Never before has work been so energetically
pushed and expenses looked after so closely
at this season of the year.
Cotton is 110 longer king, if fertilizers have
anything to do with it. So far there has
only beeu about half as much sold this year
as last, and the demand is about over. The
demand for garden seed and Irish potatoes
has increased in proportion as cotton has
fallen off.
Last Thursday was the windiest day we
have had this season. Besides blowing and
unroofing several barns, t played havoc
with dead trees.
David Hulleuder, a young man aged
about twenty-three years, died in Charlotte
a few days ago and was buried at Antioch
yesterday.

? The State: At Florence, on Tuesday
night of last week, about 8 o'clock, Stephen
Leggett, a commercial man of Richmond, N.
C., while on his way to the Hotel Royal, was
stopped by two negro ruffians who asked
him to change a dollar. He told them he
could not ; whereupon they seized him by
the throat and told him he had to. At the
same time they drew their knives, robbed
his pockets of three dollars and some cents,
and cut him badly on the arm and about the
face. Leggett called for help and the negroes
made their escape.
? Senator T. Q. Donaldson, in a recent interview,
stated that he will not be a candifWo
fnr rrnvopnnp nr mnfJTeSS. l)Ut will Stand
for re-election as State senator. Asked
about the political situation in general in
the State, he replied : "Without going into
detail, I will say that I apprehend no serious
trouble from Republicanism, Independentism
or Third partyism, but anything like a
real break in the rank of the Democrats and
taxpayers, means evil and only evil to the
State, and it should therefore be the patriotic
purpose of every citizen to bring about that
harmony and unity so essential to the welfare
of all.''
? Columbia Register: A few dhys ago the
six-year old daughter of William Summers,
of the Fork, in Orangeburg county, while
playing with an old pistol, struck the hammer
of the weapon against a box, causing a
discharge of its contents which took effect
in the child's cheek and eye. The bullet
entered the cheek near the ear, ranged upward
and embedded itself in the eyeball,
inflicting a very painful but not a fatal
wound. The pistol was not supposed to be
loadbd and was carelessly put aside by the
child's father. Such accidents should be a
caution to those who own fire arms. The
child is doing well but minus an eye.
? The Sinking Fund commission met in
Columbia last Wednesday to consider charges
preferred against Colonel James G. Gibbes,
agent of the commission, by Mr. W. T. Morrison,
of Georgetown, who has been associated
with Colonel Gibbes in the work of
the commission for the past two years, and
who had been with him on most of his surveys
in different parts of the State. Morrison
charges that Gibbes has, in several instances,
sold public lands at one price and
turned in to the State treasury a less amount
than was received for the lauds. Gibbes admits
the partial truth of some of Morrison's
statements, but denies that there was either
any fraud or attempt at fraud. The Sinking
Fund commission, after hearing both
sides* finally decided that the surplus derived
from the sale of the lands in question
should be turned into the State treasury,
until it could be decided to whom it properly
belonged.
? The quandary in which the asylum regents
were placed by a recent act of the
legislature, was settled last week. It will
be remembered that the board of regents
consisted of nine members. The legislature
passed an act reducing the number to
five, and providing that the reduction, as
well as the length of each member's term,
should be determined by lot. The regents
refused to comply with the provisions of the
?j. ?.1 -ii t>i<f nnn Tip A "V T'nllpv. re
out, HUll an "uv urn,, ?^i. ... ,, ,
signed. One of the members, Colonel J. T.
Rhett has since died. Last week, Governor
Tillman accepted the resignations of the old
board and re-appointed the following members
: Messrs. B. W. Taylor, W. J. Gooding,
A. White, and Iredell Jones. By the terms
of the appointment, the members were requested
to determine the length of their
respective terms by lot, and the drawing
resulted as follows: Dr. Taylor drew six
years; Dr. Talley and Mr. Gooding each
four years, aud Messrs. White and Jones
each two years.
? Spartanburg special of Monday to the
Columbia Register: It is seldom that a 12inch
fall proves fatal to a person, but this is
the distance which George White, a negro
boy, fell on Saturday night, and by the fall
his neck was broken. George was employed
at Blower's livery stable, on East Church
street, as driver, and together with John
Finley, a small white boy, also an employee
at the stables, was playing on the pavement
just below the stables, and directly in front
of Syth's barroom. It seems that the boys
4LA?vton1tTAO K*r tlii?Au,'infr cmflll
were muuMu^ uiuiuoti?vo uj WSMM..
stones at each other, and in dodging one
thrown by John Fiuley, George White fell
from the pavement into the gutter and never
arose. He was picked up and carried to the
stables and was there examined. It was
thought before the examination that the
rock thrown by Finley did the work, but a
thorough examination of the negro's body
showed that there were no bruises and the
only ailment was the broken neck. Finley
was arrested immediately after the negro fell
and was put in jail, but the coroner's jury
could see no reason why he should be held,
and he was freed.

March 1(5 11 It
. Has Already Paid for Itself.
Following will he found the testimony of Mr.
Henry F. Hoke, who farms near Clay IIill post
office. He is a wide awake and progressive
farmer, and thoroughly realizes the fact that by
saving dollars in putting in and cultivating his
crops, his profit in the end will he correspondingly
increased. For this reason he bought a
Corbin Harrow. If you will read what he says
about it, you will be able to see whether or not he
thinks he invested in a money-saver :
Ci.av Him., S. ('., March 10, 1X92.
Mr. Sam M. Gkist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear
Sir:?It is with pleasure that I add my testimony
as to the value of the Corbin Disk Harrow as a
farming implement. I bought a No. 7, 12 disk
Harrow from you on the 18th of August, 1891,
and am satisfied that it has already paid for
itself by saving labor, and leaving out the fact
tiiat by no other means that I have ever tried or
seen tried, could such good work have been
done. I have two small mules, and with them
I can go over live acres twice in a day, or I can
put in as many oats or as much wheat in a day
as any eight men and eight mules can by the old
way of using a single-loot plow ; and the work
done with the Harrow will be the best. The
draft of the Harrow is very light, especially
when you take into consideration the large
amount of work it does. I would not take $100
for my Harrow unless I could get another just
like it. I could not afford it. No farmer who
buys and uses a Corbin Disk Harrow will ever
again try to farm without it, and if he is like
myself he will always regret that he delayed
buying as long as he did. It is the best farming
implement, I believe, that has ever been introduced
in this State. Yours Truly,
Hknkv F. Hok k.
I will be jdeased to furnish any desired information
in regard to the Harrow. I always have
the No. 7, 12 disk, in stock.

""TAXES.
Taxesare of various kinds. Everybody knows
what the county taxes are, and how hard they
are on the people. Other taxes are hard, too, especially^
when a man, woman or child taxes beyond
endurance their digestive powers. This
sort of tax is hard on the people, too, because it
causes dyspepsia, colic, or some other trouble,
but is very different from the other kind, because
there is certain and speedy relief in "Campbell's

The Testimony of Five Witnesses.
Below will be found the testimony of live reliable
witnesses, which we think entirely sustain
our claim that the various stylos of Sewing Machines
sold by us are equal in every particular to
any machine on the market:
Fort Mini., S. C., December 8th, 1890.
Ij. M. Grist, Editor op Yorkvim.k Enquirkr:
Dear Sir?I received my Sewing Machine
indue time, and find it to be everything that you
claimed it to be. I would not be without it for
double its cost: and can say to those in need of
a good Sewing Machine that they need not hesitate
to purchase your Premium Machine.
Mrs. J. It. Jenkins.
Tucker, Texas, February 20,1891.
('apt. L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear
Sir?I received the Sewing Machine in a few
weeks after ordering it, and my wife is well
pleased with it. It does as gooa work as Machines
sold Ifere for from 835.00 to 800.00. I advise
every one who wants a good machine at an
honest price to buy this Machine.
C. Mason Smith.
Yorkviile, S. C.t December 7,1891.
Mr. l. M* Grist, Proprietor of The Yorkvii.le
Enquirer: I have been using the "Peerless"
Machine ordered frcin you for some time,
and find it in all particulars equal to the best
sewing machines on the market. Yours truly,
(Miss) J. S. Wii.kik.
Filbert, S. C., May 20,1890.
C'apt. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir?I take pleasure
in adding my testimony as to the value of your
Premium Sewing Machine. The machine I
Ismcht of vou bust fall has given and is giving
entire satisfaction. It is all that is claimed for it,
and more too. I would advise all who want a
lirst-class machine at a fair price to buy yours.
M. C. Parrott.
Tirzaii, S. C.t September 28, 1891.
L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.?It affords me
?reat pleasure in testifying to the value of your
remium Sewing Machine, the Chicago Singer,
which I bought from you last February. It
came promptly, was in perfect order, and complete
in every respect. For neatness of workmanship
and linish, as well as easy motion and
perfect sewing, I have neverseen its superior, and
the cost?only about one-half of other machines
sold through the country by agents. I would
not today take "Forty acres and a mule" for it, if
I thought I could not get another exactly like it.
Respectfully, J. R. Comer.

RIDDLE A CARROLL.
WITH SOME PEOPLE.
WITH some people lard is lard, whether it
be good, bad or inditl'erent; whether it
is cotton seed oil adulterated with a little hog's
fat, it makes little difference if the dealer says it
is lard. [None of our customers are built that
way]. There is another class that will have
none but the best. [They are the people who
buy their goods from us, or should do so]. To
tho latter class we desire to say a few words:
* " " 1 " ? AtlA /\ f tllfi
A lew Uliys tlgU we aunt nu uiuci HI whb ... I.UV,
best anil most reliable wholesale grocery houses
on the American continent for "the VERY
BEST bird you can send us." When the bill
came we were amazed at the price, but when the
lard arrived we wero delighted. The price
charged.was about 3 cents a pound more than
other houses' quotations for "pure lard." The
wholesalers explained the high price charged by
saying that the article sent was nothing but pure,
unadulterated leaf lard, which had been rendered
in an open kettle. The lard has been tested by
some of our customers and pronounced by them
to be the best they have used for a long time.
Now, if you want lard that is lard, we can furnish
you with it. The price is 12J cents a pound.
WE HAD THOUGHT
of calling the attention of the farmers to the fact
that we have recently received a large supply of
those very popular Cotton Side Harrows that
we have been handling for several years, but we
have concluded that the announcement might be
considered a little previous. So we will refrain,
and content ourselves with remarking that we
have in stock a full supply of Plows of all k nds,
Plow Stocks and fixtures for same, extra Plow
Handles, Trace Chains, Hack Hands, Collars,
Collar Pads, Hame Strings, etc.

often lost sight of by purchasers, to the detriment
of the lasting qualities of the stone purchased.

MAY'S CONDITION OR HORSE AND
CATTLE POWDERS is the name of this
great preparation, and it is the finest formula
lor keeping all kinds of live stock in a healthy
condition. 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
oats which it would otherwise require. THE
PRICES OF THESE4 POWDERS ARE
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER PACKAGE,
but as an inducement to PAY CASH, and to
help you along, in these dull times, we will give
you from this date until further notice,
Three Mp fir 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
one 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
810 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 corn at 75
cents a bushel will more than pay for the powders
with the first bushel saved.
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 naekages
of CATTLE POWDERS FOR FIFTY
CENTS, WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY TO
SAVE THE PURE SIMON PURE CASH.
Try it for Cows, Horses, Mules, Sheep, Goats,
Chickens and Hogs, and be convinced of its
value. Farmers in the North and Northwest
use it extensively. You see what fine stock
they have. We can do what they do, if the
proper mean? are used. Buy your Powders
now?25 cents per package or three for 50 cents.

TEN DURING'91
THE statement that the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association of New York furnishes life
insurance at lessthan halfthe 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 endorsements fromprominenl
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 $10,000, 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 fl,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
316.20 per $1,000 or $162 for $10,000. We further
lind that the annual difference in cost in favor of
the Mutual Reserve on 910,000 insurance is 9308.
Now if you will take your insurance in the Mutual
Reserve and nut the difference in cost between
it and the old line company in a stocking or
bury it in the ground each year for twenty years,
you will at the end of that time have saved 97,306
m clean cash. And on the other hand, if you will
take your $168 and invest it each year at 5 per
cent., (is that too high?) at the end of live years
your saving and interest will amount to $2,134;
at the end of the fifteenth year to 98,338; at the
end of the twentieth year, 812,769; so it will bo
seen, the natural investment of the difference of
cost would amount to $12,769, or $2,769 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 Mutual Reserve plan, to the estate of the deceased,
would be $14,861; should death occur on
the twentieth year, the estate would receive $22,869
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" Policy.
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?40?and the same amount?810,000?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 81,000, or $198 for 810,000. Deduct
$162?the Mutual Reserve rate for a $10,000 policy?from
$198 and the result is 8236. 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 $195.75
a year, of which amount $162 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 after 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 you as if a man in his
right mind, after 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 buy the high priced article?
Another great advautangeof 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
$'50,000. Its rates range all the way from $13.80
for a person of 25, to $43.68 for a person of 60.
