The Chester correspondent of The State, under date of Nov. 5 writes as follows: Chester has been the banner county at the State Fair for the past ten years, and this year will be no excep tion. The county exhibit will be larger and finer than that of last year; and will be taken over to the Augusta Exposition after the premium has been won at the fair. All the substantial farmers of this county w ill have larger exhibits than ever before, and Chester will make Darling ton “hump” herself in the horse arena before the usual number of the Pee Dee blue ribbons are tied. — * Burned to Death.

Woods & Milling, Proprietors. Satisfaction. When a man says he is Satisfied, he means a great deal. One of the policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. Charles A. Edwards, of New York, who, in 1871, took a twenty-year Tontine policy \ with the Equitable for $10,000, w rites as follows: "lamextremely wellnatitfled ! with thin result, obtaining more than $1,000 in exeesn of ail the premiums 1 have paid, in addition to having etijoyed the protection of my policy during the twenty yarn it has been in force lam loath to part with such an old friend as this policy has been to me, but in doing so, 1 do not propose to part company with the Equitable, haring applied for a noth r Tontine policy, the benejtts under which / also hope to obtain during my lift time." Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to policy No 09,313 as follows: "I took out a Tontine policy in your Company for $20,000. The policy has been settled to my satisfaction. I hace since taken out policies of the same kind for $50,000, because lam satisfied that the Tontine plan is to be preferred to any of which 1 hare knowledge" If these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who had died, they would be significant, or, if they were from policy-holders who were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished protection, and gave them sufficient peace of mind to offset the burden of the continuing annual premiums on their policies, they would be no more than reasonable assertions. But this satisfaction is something more than this: It is the gratification of men who have, over and above the protection from the assurance, kkalizkd on h profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes, and meanwhile their families and estates have been protected against the disaster which would have come, if through some accident they had dieil prematurely. But these dangers have now been passed, and what is the result? Must they say, “ He have paid out a great deal of money in premiums, but we hove en joyed the protection of our assurance, undare satisfied that our money has been well spent: we hare nothing more to expect, and hate nothing further to ask." They might say this, and be content, but they are able to say much more than this, thus: "We are more than satisfied because, in addition to the protection giren for all these years, our Tontine policies hare turned out to be good INVESTMENTS, as isproted by the fact that the Kguitable has returned ali that we hace paid, with interest added ” Think of it! A return of the total amount expended in premiums, with compound interest at from 3 to 5 pci centum per annum aAded, thereto. GEO. HENRY McKEE, Darlington, S. C„ SPECIAL AGENT.
