Accident to Small Boy.
Patrick Petty, a young son. of Mrs.
Harriet Petty, who lives just out
side the city, suffered an accident
Tuesday afternoon which, while be
ing a most deplorable one, is in ad
dition, one of the most unusual ones
happening in the city.
The boy Is probably ten or twelve
years of age. He was engaged in
play Tuesday afternoon with a cart
ridge of dynamite carelessly In his
nocket. In attempting to draw it
from his pocket it exploded, tearing
away three of his fingers. The three
lagers were amputated.
Once or twice before accidents in
a way similar tp this one, have taken
place In the city. In these instances
dynamites from a railroad were em
ployed as playthings with results al
most. If not as dlsatroua^. as In this
case.
Mr. Memminger Recites.
On Tuesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. DuPr^, the Rev. Mr. Mem
minger gave a delightful and Instruc
tive reading to the Womans Literary
Club. The reading was on Shake
speare. the principal theme being on
thd play Julius Caesar, this being
the subject now being studied by the
club. By special request Mr. Mem
minger gave the oration of Anthony
over the dead body of Caesar. This
was highly enjoyed by all. The la
dies hope to have this cultured g^i-
tleman with them again at some
ture date.
To the Trustees of Second Methodist
Church,
Gentlemen: —
Don’t allow 'your* church to pay 8
cents per pound for wood.
If they buy 100 pounds of White
Lead in kegs they get 88 pounds of
White Lead and 12 pounds of wood;
but when they buy L. & M. Paint they
get a full gallon of paint that won’t
wear off for 10 or 15 years, because
L. & M. Zinc hardens L. & M. White
Lead and makes L. & M. Paint wear
like Iron.
4 gallons L. & M. Paint mixed with
3 gallons Linseed Oil will paint a
moderate sized house.
L. & M. costs only $1.20 per gallon.
C. S. Andrews, Ex-Mayor, Danbury,
Conn., writes, "Painted my house 19
years ago with L. & M. Looks well
todav.”

“There are so many really splendid things to say of
The Mulual Benefit
9
Life’s Annual Satement
That is hard to know where to begin or what to say
first. Two very important features which tend to show
why thig company stands so well with the insuring public, *
and is making such rapid progress, are that its ratio of ac
tual to expected death losses was only 81.8 per cent.,
while its gross rate of interest earned on invested assets
par .value, was 4.85 per cent. These two items show the
care with which'risks are selected and the care with which
funds are invested. Undei stand, these ratios are for the
entire business and do not cover a few selected risks or in
vestments. A feature showing economy of managements
is in the statement that the ratio of Insurance expense to
expense income or premium loading was 80.7 per cent.,
while the ratio of Insurance and investment expenses to
expense income or premium loading was 87.1 per cent.
These figures explain in part' how it is possible for the
company to show that it has received from policy-holders
since orginization the sum of $279,421,621.53 and return
ed to them in the way'of death claims, dividends and sur
rendered policies, and now holds for their future pay
ments the sum of $328,095,643.61 or the enormous sum
of $48,674,022.08 more than it received.Southeastern

If you desire Insurance it will pay you to see contract
of this grand old company before placing your business.
