Col. E. 8. Hammond showed us
some stalks of young cotton, being an
average from a hundred-acre field on
his Barnwell county farm, that were
four inches high. This is remarkably
fine for such an early period.
The temperature on Wednesday
night and last night approached very
near to the white frost point. The
extreme dryness of the atmosphere,
and the high wind, were all that saved
this section.
The presence of two or three hun
dred studeuts at the Industrial School
would increase the demand for dry
goods, groceries, &c., would it not?
Then is it not to the interest of our
people to make this investment?

Treasurer Jordan’s notice in another

Citizens of Grahams have written to
the editor of the State urging the
Centennial railroad committee to se
cure an early train on the Augusta
division of the South Carolina Rail
way from Aiken or Williston, to con
nect at Branchville with the early
morning train from Charleston to Co
lumbia, so that parties attending the
Centennial may go and return the
same day. Their statement is that a
great many persons on that division
cannot attend unless they can make
the trip in one day. We trust that
this train will be secured, as it will be
a great convenience to many.

But perhaps you have not got
one. If so, THE WASHINGTON
offers to-day an insurance policy
which will save you much mon
ey. It is the well known
INSTALMENT ENDOWMENT,
which is self-supporting in the
third period. It is the perfec
tion of insurance, and is issued
only by the WASHINGTON.
THE ASSETS OF THE WASHINGTON contain the largest proportion
of Boud and Mortgage Investments of any Lite Insurance Company in this
country. None of the premiums of its members, nor any of the funds of
the Company have been imperiled or sacrificed by unwise purchases of ques
tionable securities, such as Manufacturing Companies’ Stocks and Bonds,
Railroad Stocks and Bonds, Bank and Fire Insurance Companies' Stocks, or
loans upon mere personal security. Tiie losses iu railroad securities alone,
by several Life Insurancs Companies, of hundreds of thousands of dollars, is
a fact which attests the wisdom of The Washington in the choice of its
investments.
