To the Property Owners of Laurens County:
On account of the recent passage of the "Anti-Compact Law," several Fire Insusance Companies have
withdrawn from the State.
We desire to say that the passage of this law in no wise effects the interests of the old RELIABLE HOME
Institution, the
ABBEVILLE-GREENWOOD MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION
This Association of the people, for the people, and by the people, for twenty-five years has been insuring
the Property of its policy holders, both in city and country, against damage by fire and lightning, cyclones, tor
nadoes and wind storms, and has never been in a more prosperous condition than at present.
Speedy and fair adjustments of all losses of property are made at assessed valuation when insured, with no
three-fourths clause attached.
Of the TWO MILLION DOLLARS of insurance now carried the money paid out is kept at home and
dollar goes to the loser property, which means the upbuilding of your own county.
To those who desire safe protection for their property at the minimun cost of Insurance and would co-op
erate in building up home enterprise, we would say insure in the Abbeville - Greenwood Mutual Insurance
Association.

1'olumbia, April 25.-"We are pre
pared now we are beginning to move",
said John L. McLaurin, State ware
house commissioner, this afternoon in
connection with the issuance of a call
by Senator J. A. Ilanks, of St .ltthews,
for a meeting of the warehousemen in
the State system, to be held in Colum
bia on Wednesda.y, May 3. The call
says a "crisis" has been reached in
the life of the State warehouse sys
tem, and the call is made for the pur
pose of "that. in the multitude of coun
sel a plan of effort may he agree on."
The ^all was issued after a confer
ence participated in by Senator Blanks,
lepresentative W. -P. Odom, one of the
authors of the famous Laney-Odom
anti-compact bill, and others, it was
learned here tonight. The call is
sued by Senator Banks, the president,
and addressed to the members of the
State Warehouse Association, fol
lows:
"Tile State warehouse system has
reached a crisis in its life. Our one
mies are strongly organized and pre
pared for its destruction. The useful
ness of this system has been demon
stated wherever operated; its possi
bilities of development for tabilizing
cotton values cannot be over-esti
mated. It can be. preserved and ex
tended if its friends unite and work
in harmony to this end.
"You are, therefore, urged to attend
a meeting of the Association, to be
held in the offices of the State ware
house commissioner, in the city of Co
lumbia, on Wednesday afternoon, May
3, in order that in the multitude of
counsel a plan of effort may be agreed
on. The meeting will be called to or
,der at 2:30 o'clock. It will not be pos
sible in the short time intervening to
reach the members by personal let
ters, but the meeting is of vital im
portance, and each member is urged
to attend."
Whooping Cough,
One of the most successful prepara

"Our baby had whooping cough as bad
as most any baby could h'qve it. I

dated yesterday, a number of excur

the station the ii. joined .the rebels,
and by a concerted move captured all
the bakeries and their delivery wag
ons, as vell as motor cars, street cars
and carts in the vicinity. Many of the
vehicles were used to erect barricades,
while the cashions were utilized in the
line of trenches which was in St. Ste
phen's Green.
Some of the earliest fighting oc
curred at Dall's bridge and on the
main road from Kingston to Merrion
square, where the rebels seized a
school house and a small hall adjoin
ing. Along the road also men who
seemingly were working in gardens
suddenly picked up guns and began
firing at passers-by, the dispatch
states.
These outbreaks in the outskirts

the correspondent, and in the centres
in Spekville street, where the post
office 'is barricaded on the inside with
bags of paper and all available books.
Around Jacob's Factory the trouble is
accentuated by women taking sides.
Their attempts to got provisions into
the besieged rebels are resisted by
co-workeds who remain loyal. Many
free fights among the two factions of
women are reported.
