Wilkersoo, president, and D. E. Boney secretary and treasurer. The company is operated and confined to territorial divisions, said divisions consisting of not more than one 1 thousand members and embracing not less than one or more than ten counties. It is purely an assessment | company and therefore purely co-op erative and mutual, and is managed and controlled by by its members through their duly organized board of j directors. Its object is to secure by ' mutual co-operation the protection of the lives of its members, and its plan j | of insurance embraces the principle ! laid down by the great Law ! ! Giver, “Bear ye one unother’s bur dens.” There is certainly enough of ' money and brains in this land to help | a fallen neighbor, if applied in a bus iness-like manner. The money paid out i' kept at home and every dollar goes to the family of the deceased member. Vhich means the upbuilding [ of our own country, This company, 'only operating since December 9th, ; 19Ul. has a membership in division number 1 one of the four above named counties, of about seven hundred ; members, and two hundred and sev enty-five of which are in Ch,erokee. i The company has only sustained one ! loss, Mrs. Perry Dover of Clover, S. jC., who died on April llfth. and her I beneficiaries were paid .$728 KJ on I April 2ist. .She had only paid in i ooe assessment to the company amounting to $205. This company is not a speculative company hut a home enterprise, and at the low 'entrance fee and rate of ! the death assessment as now fixed, it is hardly taking enough otl of the people to pay its actual running ex penses, but always has a sufficient amount in the treasury to pay one death loss without having to wait to collect an assessment. This company has one director for each township, and for Cherokee they are as follows: j J. Eh Jeireries, Gaffney, 8 C , for j Limestone township; John D. Jeff- : erie-', Jr.. Atbury, S.

Wednesday night a stranger went into the vSmitb Hardware Company store, and asked to look at a pistol. It was shown him and he soon agreed to take it at five dollars, the price asked him, for which he offered in payment, what appeared to be a twenty dollar bill. The money was received and fifteen dollars returned to him in change. The stranger took the pistol and change and disap peared at once. Soon after this transaction it was discoverd that the bill received was only a two dollar bill, with a figure nought cut from a Confederate bill, and so pasted on it as to give it the appearance of twenty dollars. Every effort was made to find the rascal, but hejhad made good his escape and left no clue by which he could be followed. Robert Ward, Maxey’s.
