TB ADE-THE LATE BOWING BATCH--THE EBEN CH
srruATioN.
LONDON, September 10.-The Times to-day
has an article on the subject of Sickles' note to
the Spanish'Government, iii which it says it is
Lordly credible that America contemplates the
recognition of Cabs.- While 3pain has little to
lose, except the island, owing to the confusing
prospect of wai', and its damaging effects on
ber commerce and finance, she admits she must
ultimately consent to abandon Cana.
Th9.I%l6i?raph has an article on the samp
subject, ^ayingj '-American aotion with re?
spect td Cuba is the same that England was so
mach blamed for, though the cases are rt??
precisely parallel. The Cubans are ab??lntely
without strength, without civil or military or?
ganization, aqd without an established gor
ernmeut. If the Americans vindicate their ac?
tion by the plea that they cannot remain indif?
ferent lo the st:uRgle*s of a friendly people for
freedom and independence, then England in
1861 feted in a manner the Americans now ern.
phatically sanction. . Looking at the oontap
versv in its broadest view, we shall scarcely be
displeased tornee Amerio??p?ke a atep-which
the world would regard aa a conspicuous ex?
culpation of England from responsibility to
America."
* The Daily News Bays : " The rumor is afloat
thai the proposed parchase of Cabs by the
United States has found a powerful friend in
the Spanish adofinistration. It is difficult to
perceive, if tbs rebellion is suppressed in
Coba, hpw a materia] change can be* effected
amid the defiant ?nd subjugated population. If
the rumors bare aaa? foundation, these con
ai derations may possibly incline this powerful
leader to listen favorably to tho offer,from the
United States. Though his advocacy may ob?
tain great force with other membare of the
government and with tbe people, the interests
of England and France in the West Indies are
scjfoely inferior to thoao of tbe United States,
and they will have their say before tue settle?
ment will be rev. rded as final."
Tbe Times has uotber article to-day on the
cotton trade and supply. It says: "There
waa a time when the Intelligence of a good
supply of cotton in the United States would
have carried satisfactory assurance to tbe
manufacturers and workingmen of Ltnoashire.
The sadden destruction of ibe old cotton
trade bas been attended with tho destruction
of the old conditions.' Things are no longer as
they were. Though the cotton supply lus
come back again, new fields and factories have
been opened, some under the shelter of pro?
tection, and some in s more natani atmos?
phere. A more extensive demand for the raw ?
material raises the price, add that rise deprives
ns of the conditions essential to the superiority
we once maintained.*' ' ' .
John Bri gfat Bays in a letter a good harvest will
tend to restore health to the general trad ,- of
the country, ?nd when we have A sufficient
supply of cotton, Lancashire will recover from
ber distressed condition. It is more cotton
we want, and nb? more "taxes on imports. I
Bospect the peo pie, of Lancashire will not fail
tb anderstand this.
The Times to-day ha? an editorial on the re?
sult of the international rowing match. The
writer asks if the admission o! a coxswain does
not cortnterbalaaee the weight in the boat?
Ii sot, the American system of rowing is the
best. He regrets that the question was untried,
butinsiders that the Harvards have no ad?
vantage over the oxfords. With a coxswain
they lost in steering; without oue, thev*ou!d
have lost niora. He hope*, that if thereturn
Thatch is accepted, both crews wdl row in their
o w? fashion. If that coarse had "been followed
in the late race, it would have been quite as
fair and more instructive. He considers it
hard, however, to pick holes in a race so well
contested and so gallantly won.
The excitement in regari to the* article writ?
ten by Sirs. Stowe ou the subject of Lord and
Lady Byron has not abated. The newspapers
still teem with corresponpence on the subject.
A lettex^in the News this morning says: "In
no instance in history has any ose told a most
'-unpalatable tenth' and repented of bis bandi
^KJfK' When tie first flash of indignation sub
aides, ali will thank the author and publishers
fer telling the trott).- Mrs. Stowe unveiled a
secret formerly carefully guarded by a few, and
restored virtue and vice to their proper places.
In the future lt will be remembered that by
ber courage there is one less i m po nure in the
world. " J ' .
Mr. Wentworth wfftes to the Phil Mall Ga?
zette to-day in the matter of the Stowe-Byron
scandal. He says Lady Byrons statement in
her own handwriting does not contain an accu?
sation as grave -.s .M.w. Stowe's. Mrs. Stowe's

THE COAL MUTE HOLOCAUST.
A Connected AccoUnt Of the Horrible)
A fflalr.
The story ot the Pennsylvania disaster growd
nure more horrible as the details are
gra/.oaliy brought tq light. There is a part of
it-the closing moments of the awful agony ol
those two hundred men-which c tn never be
described. Even the manner in which tho
catastrophe originated is mainly a matter of
conjecture. In all human probability, not one
of t bat wretched company survive? to tell'the
secrets of their prison-house, and so to the
ROiual horrors of suffering and death is added*
the gloom of an impenetrable mystery. Tfio
New i'ork Tribune sams np the facts in the
following clear and connected narrative:
The colliery in which this terrible accident
occured is -enterad by a perpendicular shaft,
327 fee&idae-p, qp*the side ?W a mountain.
From^THfttonrof it, 40 feet i>elow the sur- <
faon of the valley, run two main galleries, i
sloping anuri, one 800 And the other 1200 .
feet loufpv?mallcut passages and chambers, .59 i
in number,branch off from tb ese. There is no :
access to the open air exoept by this single
shaft, which bad to serve all the purposes of
a hoist-way for tho workmen and the coal, and ;
a channel far tho ventilating current which in ?
all mines must be constantly forced by ma- :
chinery through the various galleries and :
drifts. The sides of tbe shaft were built np <
with wooden supports, and a wooden partition i
ran perpendicularly through its whole length,
dividing it into two passages, one far the up?
ward, the other for the downward current. .
Bight over its month stood a great wood- i
en building, continuing the machinery for
hoisting and for breaking, sorting and deaning i
the coal. To assist in creating a current of i
air a fire was always kept burning in a furnace I
at the foot of the shaft, and from this it is <
?apposed the wood-work must have caught. 1
On Monday morning two hundred men went I
down that shaft to resume work after a long '
.trike. They were followed, about 9 o'clock, i
by one of che mule-tenders, with hay for his <
beasts. As he reached the bottom he was 1
heard to cry "Fire!" but what he saw we i
never shall know; for in an instant a fierce col- i
nmn of flame rushed np the shaft, caught
the breaker as if ?hat bad been a house of pa?
per, and. wrapped the whole s tracto re in
sheets of fire. The mouth of the pit belch?
ed forth destruction. Hundreds of tons of
coal in the abates snd bins were soon in a
whita glow, and dropped with the falling
beams into the abaft. It was seven or eight <
hours before the engines which were hur- j
ried to tbe scene -of disaster troon all the
neighboring towns succeeded in extinguishing
the burning mass. Workmen had flpeked tu *
the spot from the entire mining region, for it i
was known that two hundred of their brethren
Were imprisoned among the deadly vapors of .
that awful pit.' Th? rubbish was cleared away 1
ir im the mooth, and fifty experienced miners i
volunteered to attempt the descent. It was j
no? about 6 in the evening. To test the puri? ,
ty of the air a dog and a lighted lamp were first
lowered info the shaft as far as they would go.
At the end of five minutes they were drawn np, 1
the dog waa alive, the lamp still burning. A 1
miner-named Charles Vurtue thou went down 1
to reconnoitre, bat about hail way from tho
bottom he found the shaft blocked with fallen
timbers. Two fresh volunteers were then low- 1
ered with hatchets. After twenty minuses 1
they were drawn up again, faint and breathless. 1
They bad penetrated seventy or eighty yards
into a gangway, finding three dead mules, and !
coming at last to a closed door.. They barn-- 1
mered at it and waited for ah answering
sound, bnt no answer came, and through the 1
crevices poured clouds of sulphurous vapor- j
the fatal "black damp." Several other parties, '
in the course of the evening and night, made 1
attempts to penetrate into the gangways, bat
with little more success. Few could remain 1
more than five or six minutes, and wheo '
drawn ap they were all speechless and ex- j
bansted. rjeverarSeerc brought buck by their '
companions entirely insensible. Two brave I
fellows, Daniel Jones anrj 'Thomis' Williams, J
were brought back dead. There wis uo hope T
now rnet any of the --min?is reunified alive, j
unices possibly they had succeeded in walling '
themselves in at-some remote part of the mine1 ]
so effectually as to prevent the entrance of tbe ?
fool gasses from the shaft. It was ouly tbe '
shadow of a hope; still tbe work want on, while I
women sat wringing their bands and weeping Tor 1
their husbands and children, and miners from
distant regions came in hundreds to offer ?
their assistance. By nine o'clock on Tues- <
day morning tn engine and'fan had been ]
placed in position to force fresh air into the J
Daine. All day long parties went down at in- 1
tervals, but the black damp drove them back,
and the fans did not seem to gain upon it.
About four in the afternoon it was discovered
that the fire at the foot of the shaft, which was ?
supposed to be entirely extinguished, had
been revived by tl e fresh current, and com- (
munica ted with a mass of coal lying near*. '.
Thus the workmen bad spinally been accele- j
rating the generation of gas, and destroying
what little vestige of hope -might remain for 1
their imprisoned comrades. A stream of water 1
was with some difficulty brought to play upon j
the flames, and the greiter part of the night .
waa devoted to the suppression of the fire,
the c'ouds of gas that eame up the shaft being I
meanwhile so awful that workmen at the month \
(vere removed insensible. Between two and
tbree o'clock on Wednesday morning two bodies
were found, both fearfully dr^ghTed and un- 1
recognizable. About 6:30 a party of/our soc- I
seeded'in penetrating some distance into one i
if tbe principal galleries, and . came upon the
oodles of over sixty moro where they had met 1
mei? fate together. They ; had constructed
fwo barriers of cars and refuse coal, and strip?
ped off their clothes to stop the crevices'. - One
joor fellow, whose duty it seems to have been <
o close the last aperture after all had passed
beyond it. bad fallen dead on tbe outside, bia
work not yet completed. Fathers and sons
were fera nfl in each other's arms. Some lay
with their bands clenched as if m agony, some
with their faces buried in the ground, some in
the attitude of prayer. While we write the
labor of bringing ont tbe bodies et ill goes on.
The causes of this horrible affair seem plain
enough. The shaft upon which the live* of
these two hundred men depended was a tinder?
box, and a fire was made in the bottom of it 1
Not a stick of wood should be used in such
places if iron can be substituted, as for most of
the equipment of a mine it certainly can be.
And that there- was not a separate shaft for
ventilation is simply monstrous. Tba miners
are said to declare that not another day's work
shall be don? in any mme which bas not a ven?
tilating abaft-. Doubtless they ?re in earnest,
bot we have no confidence tbat their resolution
would be kept. The moat rec ai ess of men are
always those whose occupations are most peni
lona. Miners we know are not ignorant of their
danger. Mine-owners are not heartless. Bat
both manifest a propensity to mn fearful risks,
which seems to us entirely inexplicable. If
men are the victims of such suicidal tenden?
cies, it is the duty .of1 the government to pro?
tect them against their own folly.
THE GALLOWS.
Execution of ai Negro Murderer ut Sa?
vannah-The Crime und its Punish?
ment.
At nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Jesse
Watkins was hung in the jail-yard of Sa?
vannah, for the murder of a little white boy?,
named Charlie Wilson. ''-v *
About the first of Saptembar, 1868, Charlie
went ont bunting, and when about two miles
from Savannah came suddenly npon Jesse and
another negro, who had gono ont to kill a cow.
Jesse, without any provocation whatever, shot
Charlie dead with a musket he had; then hid
the body in the bushes, and carried off the de?
ceased's gun and accoutrements. Charlie not
coming home at the usual hour, his mother be?
came uneasy, and a search was commenced.
Bis body was not fonnd for three days, al
thongh over a hundred persons were ont
searching for him. About two month's after
Ibo morder, Jesse's companion turned State's
evidence. As the case was carried through
the various courts, other evidence was intro?
duced, which folly established tbe guilt of the
accused, and in May last Judge Scbley, of tbe
Superior Court, sentenced bim to be bung.
The cashier of the freedman's Bureau in Sa?
vannah interested himself very mach in col?
lecting testimony to prove the innocence of
Jesse, after be had been sentenced. He in?
duced Governor Bullock to twice respite Jesse.
Bat on last Thursday the Governor, by tele?
graph, ordered the execution.
The Bea fluid waa in tl jail yard, to which
only the clergy and tho reporters were at first
admitted, bat after awhile the officers con?
sented that the crowd outside should como in.
Kev. Fathers Hamilton and Laugaree officiated.
When the cross, the sacred emblem of the re?
ligion be had professed, was held ap to him,
he pressed bis lips upon it wi h a zeal, for tbe
rn-meut, oblivions of all other circumstances
or surroundings. Father Hamilton then whis?
pered tho last words in his ear and bidding
him good bye, to which Josse respond :d wini
much feeling, descended a few stop-? an 1 ad?
dressed the spectators, saying: *. Tue n it?r?
t?nate man who is now about io meet bis G >d
desires me to say that he dies trulv sorry fur
all bis sins; that be bas prayed for .wu ail au I
as bis soul goes into eternity, be dos res e-aou
of yon to say a short prayer for its repose.
While Father Hamilton was speaking avery nat
wjB raised ia solemn and respectful attentio i.
Just before adjusting the cap, Sheriff Doooer
asked, ''Jesse have you anything yon wish to
soy to those present ?" After a moment's hes?
itation, tbe condemned mau stepped for wai d a
few inches and replied, 'Kee, air, 1 will Bay a
few words;" then to the croivA -"Gentleman,
this is a solemn occasion. 1 feel that it is God's
will for me to die. I leave all in t? is hand? (.Hie
commands mnaf be fulfilled. I wish y ott Wop ld
all pray for me, as I have prayed for -yea al).
I am sony forait thc Bios I may havw commit?
ted.- I forgive every one. The mau who swon
against me, I freely forgive even him, and
have prayed for him/'
After the apeeofa, the cap and noose were ad?
justed, the stops taken away, and the sheriff
asked, "Jesse, are yon ready?" to which be
replied, in a load, firm voice, "yee, sir!" The
fatal hatchet fell, severing with one blow the
cord that held up the trap. With a quick,
sharp fall, and a dull thug, the body hong sus?
pended in mid-air, while the terrible struggle
with death began. Th on .rh the fall waa folly
seven feet, it failed to break the victim's neck,
and death ensued from strangulation. For a
few seconds, not the least morion was percepti?
ble; then the arms drew np, tightening the
rope opon them almost to breaking tbe skin:
two or three violent efforts to expand the lunge
vere followed by a drawing np of the lower
limbs, then ali was Btill, and intro minutes,
lo external appearance, the spirit of Jesse
Watkins bad left the body forever. The heart
still beat, however, fall and strong. At the
expiration of ten minutes, the heart was still
seating at the rate of forty pulsations to the
minute. Five minutes more passed, and the
surgeons pronounced life extinct.
THE LAST OF THE BOAT RACE.
What Charles Reade says About lt.
Nearly all the New York papers contain long
iccountn of the Harvard-Oxford boat race,
Furnished by their London corresponden's.
Ur. M. D. Conway sends to the World a three
jolumn letter, very graphic in its descriptions,
md in all respects exceedingly interesting.
Ur. 8malley's Tribune letter is quite naturally
in the "I told you so" strain, but possesses a
strong point of interest in the shape of a letter
dom Mr. Charles Beade. The eminent novelist
writes:
It could hardly be believed in the United <
States to what an extent I, an Oxford man,
sympathize with your gallant fellows. But I
sdnd you my observations.
The Harvard coat goes down a little by the ?
head. As she faced the tide, coming to start, i
the water nearly ran over ber. The crew were
oot iu high condition generativ. I have long i
sein tins with regret. Bnt it is a point on
whieh - they were touchey, and could not ap?
proach it without offence. Proofs - Doil on Lo

mons, and a general want of < h-t sprightliness j
that re tul ts from high C^OOHIOTL. They were, ,
liowever, hardin muscle-harder than the Ox- ,
Ford crew. Yet Simmons had diarrheal on tho ,
lav and lor forty-eight hours* pieviously.
In the race, Oxford did not wait for them aa j
they sometimes do for Cambridge, bnt pulled ,
ill they knew from tho first. A little above ,
Bammersmith bridge they were distressed,
but got second wind afterward. Their beauti

B.-Io practicing, jost the reverso, lho ndiou- !
loue theory of the London press is answered by '
.Iiis, that Harvard kept tbe samp form ia prac- 1
lice und in the struggle. Oxford did not.
These remarks are,at your service. I think ]
rou may rely apon their accuracy. As to the
lip forwarp ot boats, my opinion was shored to '
:ho full by a distinguished oarsman, wish whom
I compared notes, with the craft and ber beha?

Yesterday afternoon General Clark and Oap

BALES-DAY GOSS li' Ct ANDERSON.
The Intelligencer says: "The property salcf
in front of the courthouse were largely at?
tended, and tbe bidding in several instances
was quite spirited. \V:W. Humphreys. Esq.,
Judge of Probate, sold several tracts of land
as follow-: 266 acres, $1965; 99.4 acres, $625;
40 acres, $330; 14 acres in tbe village of Bel?
ton. $480; 1 a~re lot in Pendleton, $300. Sborifi
McGukin sold oue tract of land, containing 140
acres, at $485. Those prices indicate an in?
creased value of land, notwithstanding the
prospect of taxation. We talked with a good
many farmers concerning their crops, and Irom
the nest information we can gather, tho con?
clusion is general that not more than a half
crop of corn and cotton will be made in Ander?
son County. Thc cold weather early in August,
attended by partul raina, was succeeded by
intensely hot and dry weither, and the last
drought has dono far more injury than its
predecessor. Altogether, the signs indicate
scarcity of breadstuffs and money."
ACCIDENT ON THE BLUE BTDOE RAILROAD.
As the passenger train on the Blue Ridge
Railroad was approaching the depot grounds
m Tuesday morning, two flat cars laden with
lumber and one box car were thrown from tho
track by coming in contact with a cow. The
two fiats were demolished and one of them pre?
cipitated down the embankment. The dim
ige will amount to one thousand dollars, it
is said. Tho president of the company bas
ordered a rigid investigation of the facts at
tandtng the occurrence.
8CALINO OLD DEBTS.
The Walhalla Courier having ?tated that the
aro .'ess of scaliug old debts originated at
andersen, ander tho auspices of Genera! Har
'ison, thc AuderBou Intelligencer remarks :
'In this our contemporary is mistaken. I? was
Irst applied on this, circuit in the manner
stated, but the scheme originated in EdgeQeld
;wo or three years ago when debts wore scaled
it twenty-five" to thirty coats on the dollar,
jlovcrnor Bickens was tho first public man,.eo
'ar as our knowledge extends, who advocated
;his course in reference to auto-war obliga?
tions.'*
ANOTHER SLANDER REFUTED.
The Abbeville PrcBS contradicts the Radical
falsehood which has been published that tho
Rev. Mauning Brown, of that placo, had declined
Lo perform the funeral services ov.r tho re?
mains of G. W. Allen, a deceased momberoi
the constabulary. Tho Press says : '"Mr.
Brown authorizes us to deny this statement as
false in every particular. Ho was not at home
at the timo of the application, and knew noth?
ing of it nutil his return. Had he been ap?
plied to, common humanity would have pre
cladod bis refusal."

THE COTTON CROP IN LANCASTER COUNTY.
The Ledger Bays: "The cotton crop has ar?
rived it that Btage that we may calculate with
some certainty ae to its yield. It ie our pur-1
pose to arrive aa sear the correct figure as
possible, and relying upon tbe judgment of
several experienced farmers, we thiok the
mark will not be missed very far in estimating
tbe present cotton crop of Lancaster County at
about the same of last year. It is presumed
that the increased acreage in cotton the pres?
ent year will make op for all deficiencies m bad
stands, &c. This estimate, we are satisfied,
will not hold good throughout tbe State, and
bnt for the superior quality of our lands and
other essential causes, injured as this crop
wis by the late frosts and wet spring, we, too,
would have fallen tar short of oar usual pro?
duction."
SHREDS OF STATE NEWS.
The number of bales of cotton shipped from
Blackville to September 9,1869, is 96. Last
?ear the number of bales shipped to Sep tem?
er 9,1868, were 3.
The following additional magistrates in and
for Orangebnrg County bave been appointed:
E. A. Price, Edward Argoe, Br. rt. V. Danner
ly, Wm. N. Mount,
Sam Beatty, colored, was drowned on the
4th instant, in the Waecamaw, while trying to
board the steamer Staples, as sbe was moving
past Bncksville.
Judge Orr will hold an extra term of court
at Newberry on the second Monday in October.
Over fifty bales of new cotton were sold ia
Wiansboro' oa Thursday and Friday, at an
average of SO j con's per pound.
Tbe Lanrensvilte Herald, in its sales-day re?
port, says: "Tbe sheriff sold, as the proper?
ty of Ferguson & Hill, the steam saw mill and
fixtures at Clinton, fourteen acres of land,
subject to mortgage. Bid off at $25. The
complaint as to crops was universal-corn
short, and cotton shorter."

THE HUERICAJTE AT THE HUB.
The ?Old Elm" Shattered-The Colise?
um Demolished-The Big Organ in
lt ulna-The Hage Drum ditto.
The New England papers are filled with (ho
accounts of the great gale which recently
swept over tbat section. At Providence, B. L,
tbe force of tbe storm was so great tint tho
sea swept into the main street, and the peo?
ple in many localities were ?only rescued
through tbe prompt action of boatmen, who
paddled through the business streets. The
Boston paper:- gi vc tbe following details of tho
late hurricane :
On the Common and in all parts of tbe city
strong tr :cs wore twisted, split and torn np by
tho roots. The "old elm" survived the gale
with tbe loss of a few branches only. Cam?
bridge, Chelsea, Charlestown and other places
suffered in the samo proportion with Boston.
No serious disaster to the shipping has been
reported. Thc damage in Bouton and vicinity
is estimated at overa million of dollars.
The once imposing Coliseum is now a little
better than a mere wreck, and its ruinons and
dismantled condition gives a more striking
proof of the fury of tho storm and the havoc
which it wrought than any other instance tbat
can be cited. Shortly before 6 o'clock a lotions
goat of wind struck upon tbe orchestral end of j
the building "like a hammer," as sailors say.
In a few minutes the large circular wind w,
which is twenty feet in diameter, yielded to tbe
blast, and the wind getting inside', the building
quivered like a reed. Tbe whole orchestral
end-now crashed in, and tho blast, sweeping
with resistless fury to the other extremity, ns
speedily forced ont the other ead. Io a few
moments the whole edifice seemed to be tbe
sport of the element?, anO the wind, getting
underneath the roof, playfully lifted it off,
piece by piece, until the whole of the transept,
was entirely unroofed. The air was darkened
with falling and flying timbors, which were
tossed ana blown about like shavings. 'Ibo
crash was tremendous, and struck awe into all
beholders. The organ was speedily levelled
to tho ground, and buried in a chaotic miss
of timber. The big drum was also laid flat,
and pierced in several places by the falling
immenso piccca-vir mc ivui wcieu*.il'UiUuou
siderable distances, and fell on every side. At
the tuno of the gale there were ten visitors
within tho building, seven of whom were la?
dies.. There nero also two boys working, and
SABIQ/?I Wilson, the doorkeeper, and a dog.
Drreetly the end window was forced io, tbe la?
dies rushed out in a state of the greatest ter?
ror aud bewilderment, and some of them made
their way amid a shower of falling timbers to
the open ground. One or two of them turned
back into the building, but were urged io go
ont again by the doorkeeper, who feared that
they might be killed, as the whole structure
seemed as if it wonld come down. The dog
was panic strickeu, and would not move. For?
tunately no one waa burt. The Catastrophe
was witnessed by several persons. A car was
broughfto a standstill on Berkeley-street, and
tome men getting out in a state cf alarm were
speedily blown to the ground.

ness for their projector;.
Solomon's Bitters are not of the flashy style, de?
pending apon large advertising, bought puffs and

medicine to make it as popular as lt is curative.
They do not pretend to offer a medicinal prepara?

bnt they do contend that the Judicious use of these
Hitlers will greatly alleviate penman suffering, and
bring very many to a state of comparative health
who have long been strangers to that great leasing.

ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To the People o/JSouth Carolina:
The above Company was organ zed in 18CC, in
consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success of the enterprise has forced several of these
companies to restore their Southern' policies, from
ihe fact that they could i?ot -operate in our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up our
impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested in tbe State froto which it ia de?
rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com?
panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded cn
patriotism and solid wealth. Iterarlo of assets to
lisjijji tics-the trae test of s company's strength-ls
second to nemo on this continent, being nearly $300
to $100.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims of this Company, lt has not only enlisted the
sympathies of our people, bnt bas also secured their
hearty co-operation. Wo have secured COO policies
in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We
number ssa ung our Directors General Wade Hamp?

known to every ePizen of South Carolina. We ap?
