squad of linemen came to Yorkville ii
connection with the work last Satur
day. As yet the reporter has not beei
able to get a great deal of definite in
formation as to the company's inten
tions. It is Understood, however, tha
the town of Yorkville will be aske<
a to grant permission for the estab
lishment of a local exchange. A boot]
for long distance talking will be es
tablished here upon completion of th<
line to Rock Hill, and the matter of s
local exchange will probably not b<
definitely decided upon until later on
It is understood to be the policy of th<
Bell company, In the case of smal
towns like Yorkville, where local exchanges
are already in operation to g(
slow and take advantage of opportunities
as they are presented. There is
but little reason to. believe that thej
will attempt to establish a new exchange
either in Yorkville or Rock
Hill. . _

Coroner Arrests Sheriff.
W. Lee Rhoden, sheriff of Saluda
^ county, is under arrest on the charge
of murder. A Negro named Bob
Church was killed on the streets oi
Saluda recently and the coroner's jury
fixed the blame as between the sherifl
and a man named Matt W. Berry. The
coroner took the sheriff in custody and
Berry surrendered. The case is such
an unusual one and there is so much
local ignorance of the law in the case,
that the matter has not yet been fully
straightened out. The coroner, however.
will probably have to look after
the sheriffs office until the sheriff is
again in a position to resume charge
of it.
Struck by Stray Bullet.
Gaffney special of Saturday to Columbia
State: This morning while
Mrs. A. J. Burgiss, who lives in the
Limestone community, was in a field
? near her house. sTie was hit by a straybullet
from a .rifle. It seems that some
young men were shooting at some
birds in a tree near by and the ball
struck a,limb and glanced, striking the
woman on the neck and penetrating
about'an inch and a half of flesh. Dr,
R. B. Brown was called in and dressed
the wound, which was not serious.
Boll Weevil Lived In Ice.?Cold
does not affect the Mexican boll weevil.
Experiments made by G. E. King
manager of the Taylor, Texas, Ice company,
proved that a temperature below
zero does not bother the weevil. A
number of them were frozen in a solid
?- cake of ice. When the ice melted, aftei
thirty hours, the weevils were as lively
as ever. . ... .
From Robertson county comes the
report that the weevils are now playing
havoc with the tomato crop. The
fact is now recalled that after eating
the cotton crop of northern Mexico
they took to the corn and destroyed
^ it. They seem to prefer cotton, but il
it is not to be had, they will attach
other crops.?New Orleans dispatch ol

"The BEST
Policyholders' Company.
FOLLOWING is an actual conversation
that recently took place between
the traveling representative of a
popular life Insurance company anu
myself:
"Mr. Grist, you should come with the
Insurance company. You know
it is a good company, writes a liberal
policy and it pays a larger commission
to agents, and you know that it's the
agent that sells the insurance, and not
the company, and that the average man
who buys insurance is influenced more
by what the agent says, and the jokes
he tells, than by what the contract he
is buying says. If you are selling insurance
for a living you should come
with us." My reply was: "You know
you have a good company, and it sells
a good policy and lives up to its contract,
and also pays a more liberal
commission to its agents. I also know
that I have a better company and that
its contracts are better, plainer, more
simple and liberal, and also know that
it does not pay as large commission
as your company. I am selling insurance
for a living and expect to continue
to do so, and know by experience
that I sell lots of insurance solely on
account of the recommendations of
pleased policy holders, the best advertisement
a company can have, and
I am satisfied that the better the company
is known the more business I
will do. The fact that it pays a small
commission as compared with others
enables it to do more than others for its
policy holders." His reply to this was:
"I know the Mutual Benefit is the best
policy holder's company in the world
and that is why, in my opinion, it is
not the best for agents." A word to
the wise is sufficient. Look before
you leap.
