Mr. Stevenson, in his race for congress, advocates a rural credit system. In the south, threefourths of the people are farm1 ers. The great banking law put through by this administration . made some provision for farmers but none for the man who has to buy his land and needs long credit on it. Six months is the longest credit he can get un! der that law. There should have ; been a land credit system emI braced in it, whereby a man could get a long credit and low rate of interest on real estate and enable him to buy, or redeem, a home. Why was it not passed with the balance of the 1 bill. ?Advertisement. WANTED You to trade with us. We can furnish you supplies on time, if you can give us satisfactory papers. L. A. Harris & Co.

Sheppard, a loom ; fixer in the Millfort Mill says: "For 17 years I carried insur-1 ance in one of the fraternal or- I ders at a fairly low rate and. then, when I was 41 years old my rate was more than doubled without warning. I refused to pay the advanced premium and took a policy in the Union CenI tral Life, but had to pay a high premium on account of my age. I now find that if 1 had taken my present policy instead of the fraternal policy, I would never have to pay another cent and my life would be insured until I die without further payments by me. Besides each year I would now be getting a dividend check from the Union Central each year as long as I live. And I find that the cost of the same in the long run would have been less than my contract with the fraternal society." For nearly fifty years the Union Central has furnished life insurance at the lowest net cost. Are you wise in delaying your application? B^iles & Link, Dist. Agts., Fort Mill, S. C.
