E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postofice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1905 Mr. Elliott, Mr. H. H. Evans' law yer, says that the matter of indicting the editors of the Barnwell Sentinel on the charge of criminal libel is no "bluff" and that the papers will be issued in a few days. We have long been of the opinion that the news papers an,d others who were making insinuations as to those connected with the dispensary should put up or shut up. The Barnwell p-ner went a little too far in bringing in the pri vate affairs of Mr. Evans' family, Simply because his salary as a mem ber of the board is only $400 is no reason that he should depend on that for a living. Ii the Barnwell paper knows anything that Mr. Evans has done that is wrong it is a duty it owes to the state to bring the proof and to make the charge and the editors should go before the investigating committee with the proof on Wed nesday at the meeting in Sumter. As a public official his public and official acts are a le gitimate subject of criticism. but the privacy of his family should not be invaded. If you have proof bring it forward. If not there should be a stop to insinuations. We publish in another column a fairly full report of the speach of Senator R. I. Manning to the farmers in the court house on Saturday. It was a plain practical talk fraught with good advice to the farmers. It was along the linN The Herald and News has been preaching for a long time. The farmers now have the key to the situation. If they do not stand together now they had just as well make a complete surrender and be done with it. We believe they will stick. They have every reason to stand to the rack now and the best opportnfity they have ever had. The bankers, merchants, mill men and all -other classes are with the farmers now and want to see them succeed. The movement has already done much good. But for it wve believe cot ton would be selling today for five or six cents. In sixty days - it will be known whether or not the acreage has been reduced. lI it s been reduced, the price will advage. If it has not been reduced the gipus will have to be sold at a lower price. Let all the voters in Newberry go to the polls today and cast a ballot for the Newberry candidate. He has been tried and we know he will make a good prosecuting officer. If the reduction in cotton acreage does nothing else than to start our -rmers to raising more of their own supplies on the farm it will have ac complished a good purpose. They wll realize how much nicer it is to have plenty of corn and everything they need than to depend on western corn and hay and meat. A trip in the country a few days ago revealed the fact that in the sec tion gone through the farmers were much behind with farm work. In many places not a furrow had been run for the approaching crop and the farmers seemed much in earnest im the atter of reducing the acreage. The dispensary investigating comn miitee will hold a meeting in Sumter --- .-k. We invite them to hold STRONGER AND STRONGER THE COMMERCIAL BANK, Capital $50,000 00 Surplus 27,000 00 JNO. M. KINARD, Pres. Z. F. WRIGHT, Cashier. think they would find Newberry a pleasant place in which to meet. We trust Senator Blease will invite them here next time. As to Life Insurance. It might be well for those who are thinking of taking out a life insurance policy to read the following extracts from a talk to the agents of the Pa cific Mutual Life: lave you stopped to consider what a gem you have in your hands in the Ideal policy of the Pacific? Do you realize what it means to offer a man life, health and accident in (ne policy and to add to that, pay ment of the principal of the policy for permanent disability? Where can you find such a policy? Who has it for sale? \ho can compete with you for a moment? Did you ever think that one might need insurance money more in life than in death? How many thousands lose their in surance through inability to pay pre miums caused by accident or sick ness? !low can you insure your insurance when wages stop and expenses in crease? I-iow can one buy medicine and food and pay doctor bills and insur ance premiums while sick with fever or laid up with a broken leg? How can he proidc for his family and himself for a long series of years if he becomes totally and permanent ly disabled by accident or through ill ness? The ideal policy answers all these questions, solves all these problems. 1: costs less money than life and accident combined, and life and health combined, and it gives the full benefit of each and adds full payment during~ life of the face of the policy for total and permanent disability. It' pays the face value to the family in cae of death. It pays a weekly sum to the insured in case he is hurt and cannot work. It pays a weekly sum t.o him if he is sick and coilhpell ed to s:ay at home. It furnishes mon ey to pay the premiums on his policy while he is hurt or sick and this in sures his policy to be paid to his fami ly should he finally die of accident or illness. It pays him his whole insurance in ten equal installments should he from accident or sickness -be totally dis abled or lose his hands or his feet gr his eyesight.. It provides for him and his family while he recovers from an accident; it takes cnre of him and his dear ones while he lies tossing on a sick bed; it assures the payment of. the pre mium on his policy so that he can feel secure in the payment of the face of his policy should he finally fail to recover; it provides for his comfort, the education of his children and pre servation of his home for ten years after he is disabled, and if he dies be fore the ten years for the payment of any balance that has not been receiv edl in.the years he has had his annual payents. It cares for him and the family, in temporary ills. in permanent affliction and in death. Where can you find such a seller as that? Where can your acquain tances, friends, neighbors and patrons find such a policy? And remember there is no extra charge for the permanent disability, and the accident and health are at tached for less than the regular cost. Are you not overlooking your own opportunities?
