8OMB OF Git ANT'S INCONSISTENCIES.-It
ia not trne that the execution of the la wa
of the United States are hindered and
obstructed. It is not true that the con?
stituted authorities of .tbe State are
*'anabie to proteus the people." Ln.ai
January, Governor Soott, ia a me&suge
to the Legislature, solemnly declared
that "the civil law of tho State" wats,
and should be, sufficient fur the protec?
tion of the humblest citizen, Last week
Governor Scott (us reported by the
Charleston Courier) vehemently opposed
martial law, which he. declared was "a
mistaken policy." Nor has any Radical
paper in Sonth Carolina dared to easert
that in any 'County, processes of law
cannot be served and arrests made. No
. person bas resisted arrest. All who
have been aconsed of Ku Eluxism, con?
solons of their innooenoe, have surren?
dered without demur, lt is, moreover,
gross folly to say that tho organization,
in the Counties named by President
Grant, are "so numerous and powerful
as to be able to defy the constituted au?
thorities." From beginning to end,
< President Grant's proclamation is found?
ed upon statements which are false.
'President Grant has been grossly de?
ceived, or he is the willing tool of aband
of unscrupulous knaves, who fear neither
God nor the do vii.-Lancaster Ledger.

AFEW reasons why they should havo the
preference over aU others:
1. whcolor ? ft Wilson's Sewing Machine is
much simpler than any of tho others; re
?airing loss than half tho amount of mt
binary.
2. As tho result of this simplicity, this ma?
chino is much lesB liable than tbo others to
get out of repair.
8. Another reeult of thia oimplioity is
greater durability.
4. Another result is loss friction, and, con?
sequently, greater ease and rapidity of mo?
tion, with lesB noiso.
6. And greatest of all, that it uses no Shut?
tle, and makes the look-stitch.
It is the cheapest to buy the best. Buy the
machine that nae justly, fairly and honora?
bly won a reputation and independence
against a strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years bas tue Wheeler ft

now stands the uniivallod Sewing Machine ol

THIS COMPANY offers the following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to thoso
about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES:
1. Insurance at Stock Ratea, being fro in 20 to 30 per cent, less than the ratea charged by
mutual companiea.
2. Each Policy-holder ia regarded aa a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium
on bia Policy, and will sbaro in the Pi elita of thc Company to the same extent as a Stock?
holder owning an equal amount of tho Capital Stock.
3. Every Tobey isauca by the Company is u'on'forftitable, and contains a .'clause slating Us
exact Surrender Value. . .
lief ore Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, \
IU?AI) T HIC, FOLLOWING?
A lengthened experience has demonstrated (but tho rates of premium ordinarily charged
j hy lifo insurance companiea are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in exec SH ot what are ne?
cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the bnsinesB. In other words, carefully and
j prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been ablo to return to their
policy-ladders from 25 to 30 per cent, ot the amount charged for premiums.
When life insutanco companies were first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre?
miums wero constructed had* not undergone test of experience It waa thought, thorefore, no
moro than common prudence to adopt a ten le of premiums which would, in any event, meot
all tho presumed and unforeseen cotitiugeiicii a of tho business. Aa long as the matter waa
involved in sumo doubt, it was better to lix tho rato too high than to incur the risk of mak?
ing it too low; because, in the former case, tho error could be eaaily rimedied. st least in
part, by returning to the policy-holders, at ctrtain intervale, such poi doa of the premium
charged na waa found necessary for Ibo purposes of Ibo business and the completo security*
of the company. Experience, however, having satisfacto il) demonstrated that these rates
arc excessive, what possible excuse can there he fer maintaining them?
Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of tho Universal Life
Insuranco Company, at its organization, adopti d a ??calo nf premiums in accordance there?
with, and which has proved to be fail and adi quate, and all that waa necessary to meet the
requirements of the business. These premiums aro about twenty-flvo per cent. lower i h an
those chargo by mutual compancia. It also appeared, iuatmuch as the ratea so established
were as near as could possibly be determined fair rat en, and not in excess of what insuranco
has previously cost tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profita arising from
prudent management justly and properly belonge d to the stockholders of tho company, for
the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business.
Experienco has shown tina there aro sources of profit in tho practice of the business which
theory aili not admit of being considered aa clements in the calculation ol the premiums.
Thean refnlts form a saving in the mortality of the members of a company owing to the me?
dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the company over that
assumed in tho calculation of ita premiums, the' profits derivable from the lapBing and Bur?
ren der of policies by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources,
in a company possessed of a capita1 of $200,000, and doing a fair amonntof bo Bin eso, would
givo to the stockholders dividends largely in excess Of what were counted on by the Direct ore
of tho Universal at tho timo of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divido
among the policy-holders of tho company a largo pa?t of the profits scorning from tho
sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders.
Tho plan adopted for such division is aa follows: Every person who may hereafter insure
with tho Universal will, for tho purposes of division, ho treated as a stockholder to exttnt < f
ono annual premium upon bia policy; and will sbaro in tho prod ta of the company to precisely
sarao extent aa a stockholder owning an equal amount of the capital stock.
Ry thia syatem of insurance, original with the Universal, tho policy-holder securcB the fol?
lowing important advantages: ,
1. Insurance at tho regular "stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to
thirty por cont, less than that charged by mutual companies, and which is equivalent to a
yearly "dividend" paid in i dvsnco of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insur?
anco is worthy of attention. Since its organization, thia company boa received in premiums
from its policy-holders the anm of $1,517.000. To effect the samo a mount of insurance in s
mutual company wonld havo coat them an initial outlay of $2 OOO.COO By allowing ita policy?
holders to retain, in their own possession, thia excess of $463,000, the Universal has virtually
paid them a "dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at Ibo end of one
or moro years. It ie impossible to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing insur?
ance at so low a coat by roturning to policy-holders au equal amount upon similar receipts.
2. Participation in tho legitimate profite of the company, npon a plan whiob secures to tba
pnlicv-holdcrn the URTU?, treatment which directors and stockholders award to themselves.
This system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of premiums, muai
necessarily securo to tho policy-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent
and careful management.
Tho low rates e.f premium con e.el economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee
to tho policy-holder bia insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the coat in well managed
mutual companiea; while, by tho proposed plan of participation in what may bo considered
the legitimate profits of tho business, the coat will bo still further diminished.
thus by tho com bi ned advantages arising from low stock rato and participation in profits,
it is conn icntly boliovod tho UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at
ita lowest practioablo coat.
Those or tho existing policy-holders who deairo to participate in the profita under tho new
plan cando so by making application to tho head office, or to any agents of tho company.
Tho company ie In a sound financial condition. Ratio of assoie to liabilities 186 to 100.
