HONEST INSURANCE
Plain, sure protection to the family at premium rates fixed on the basis of the
actuaries’tables of life expectation, and therefore, absolutely fair is the only
kind of life insurance written by The Southeastern Life Insurance Company of
Spartanburg, S. C No “deferred” dividends, no "participating” policies, no
schemes for profit, no opening for speculation, no element of scandal, but strict
and straight Life Insurance of the kind that takes care of a man’s family by
providing an immediate cash estate on his death, the time of all times when
they will need it most keenly.
It is every man’s sacred duly to carry life insurance for the benefit of those de
pendant upon him, and all men know this, hut no .South Carolinau need go out
of his own State to get it.
The Southeastern Life Insurance Company is a home institution, chartered by
the State of South Carolina and subject to the South Carolina laws governing
Life Insurance. It is directed by men whose homes and interests are in this
State. It is an old line, legal reserve, Straight Life Company of tae soundest
kind, and should have the support of the people of the State.

Will Employ Native Labor In Mining
and Rubber Industries — Plan to
Properly House and Feed the Ne
groes—Will Tjach Use of Money.
A I arty w hich has just sailed on the
Kni or Wilhehu tier Groxse with the
Kongo Free Slate us its ultimate des
tination will prepare for the largest
American investment that 1ms ever
been made in Africa, If not In the
world. The party is sent out by
Thomas F. Ryan, the Messrs. Guggen
heim and their associates in the com
panies organized to exploit the rubber,
mining and railroad concessions which
were granted last fall by King Leo
pold and the I.elgiau parliament, says
the New York Sun. The members of
the party will remain In the Kongo
eighteen months. Long before tbe ex
piration of this time. It is expected,
mining operations and the manufac
ture of rubber will be undertaken on a
j considerable scale.
Is. I’. Verner, general manager of the
lAineiican Kongo company, and A.
Che-ter Realty, the well known min
iug engineer of the Guggenheim Ex-
I ploratiou company, have charge of the
i expedition. Mr. Verner has had twelve
; years’ busines experience in the Kou
go Free Stale and was special eom-
| missloner of the country to the St.
Louis exposition. The party will l>e
augmented at Cherbourg by men who
have ha 1 e p rienoe in the Kongo,
some of whom '.ill be selected by Bel
gian stookb'.i ,*r.s of the concession
aire companies
The head pintterx of the expedition
for several months after Its arrival at
least will I (* Leopoldville, on Stanley
pool. From this point long trips will
be made ini" the country for the pur
pose of si ng favorable locations
for settleineir anil the settlin' up of
such maelhiiciy as will be required.
This w< of •• plorntlon will take up.
It Is t! a I'.'lit a great deal of the eur
rent year. The expedition will follow’
the river and rail routes as much as
possible. When off these routes the
leaders wall endeavor with the assist
ance of native guides to follow such
routes as w'o i lx- practicable for rail
road const ruction, for it is proposed to
constnn t ; h rail line- as may appear
necessary to name economically the
products of the country.
“As goon a a cei ter for the rubber
or the i! 'ni<:;r industry is located,” Mr.
Verner said “we propose to make ar
rangements for the proper housing.
feiHling and in general the health and
comfort of the natives we expect to
employ there. \Ye shall, o’ course, de
pend principally on native labor, for
no other is or can readily he acclimat
ed. On the question of tin* treatment
of the laborer-, concerning w hich there
has been wide public notoriety, we
have spent
thing else,
have reached tne best solution possible.

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE, RUBBED AWAY
It i3 perfectly natural to mb the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching* with the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from lac di -,t. by producing'
counter irritation on tbe flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but can have no direct mirative effect on the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more
than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by (onstitutional treatment—IT CANNOT RP, RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of urir ac id in the 1 ■ !, brought alwmt by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidm vs, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the b- dy, forms
uric acid which is absorbed into the blood ami d: tribut ’ to all parts of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. Id ■: aches and pains
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or reli'-ved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigest >n or other irregularitv. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured v.-h the circe‘ turn r m. ns saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric ;. 1 poison. The ihsease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint -> tiling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and su< h terrible pains tin the nervous system
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps lie patient becomes
deformed and crippled for life. S. S’. S thoroughly tes the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutral:/ !.. theae: is and e.:polling all foreign
matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that in >tead
of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit
ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus
cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed
and nourished by rich, health-sustaining
® blood which completely and permanently
cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed
PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties—
just what is needed in every esse of Rheu
matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is
made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and
barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not v; ,te valuable time
trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write
us about your case and our physicians will give vou anv information or
advice desired free of charge and will end our special trerli • >n Rheumatism*

Ore Deposit Signals.
German observers recorded as long
ago as 1747 that a luminous emana
tion of variable shape will appear in
the dark points on the surface of the
earth below which there are extensive
ore deposits. Immediately before or
during a thunderstorm these phenor.i-
ena are said to he especially striking.
Similar observations have more re
cently been made in North America in
the neighborhood of ore deposits. Tbe
more time than on any- electric emanation given off from the
Ur are confident that we i surface of the earth has been repeat
edly ascertained photographically.
One man is now living in his own house who joined in Jan
uary; made application for loan; paid his due- 75 cents—
which was really due February 2. He made this payment
as a matter of good faith. He is in his own happy home
today—February 10. He is saving house rent today. His
property—not the landlord’s property—-is growing in value
every day. Name furnished upon application : : :
“One of tin* great troubles not only i
In the Kongo, but elsewhere in equa

to make provision for a season ahead.
We don't expect that we can teach
them to look <uit for a rainy day. but
at any rate we are going to make pro

accustomed to satisfy their desires.
We will organize regular fisheries, and
because food does not keep very well
in that climate we will have canning
factories and preserve not only frnlts,
vegetables and fish, but perhaps such
delicacies as elephant and hippopota

“If the natives are assured that If
they work a certain number of hours
