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. . _ SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. 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 September 11. AT THE CHtRCHES, TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL rev. j. l. stokes, pa8tor.

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.
