A Bill to That Effect Introduced Into the Legislature.—The Name of the Ex* tension to be the Charleston, Colleton and Berkeley Railroad. A bill has been introduced in to the State Legislature, which, if passed, as it probably will be, will bear directly upon the in terests of Darlington. It ifi a bill to incorporate the “Charles ton, Colleton and Berkeley Rail road.” This road will be an extension of the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad. The present southern terminus i of the latter road is Pregnall’s, a station on the South Carolina Railway, forty-one miles from Charleston. From PregnalTs to Charleston, the Charleston, Sumter and Northern uses the track of the South Carolina Railway. For some time past the company has been anxious to build its own road to Charles ton and, as the corporators of the Charleston, Colleton and Berkeley Railroad are all promi nently connected with the Charleston. Sumter and North ern, it is evident that the scheme is merely an extension of the latter road and that the two roads will be run in conjunction with each other or possibly be consolidated. The plan, as given in the bill, is to build the new road from Eutawville, on the Charleston, I Sumter and Northern Railroad, to Charleston, passing through the counties of Berkeley, Fact 1—Quality. Fact 2—-Variety. Fact 3—Reliability. Fact 4—Economy. Fact 5—Full value. Fact 6—We sell as low as we can. Fact 7—No one can sell lower. Fact 8—Reputation is business. Fact 9—We want your custom.

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 1. Edwards, of New York, who, in 1871, took a twenty-year Tontine policy with the Equitable for $10,000, writes as follows: “/ am extremely well satfn/ieil with this result, obtaining more than $1,000 in excess of ail the premiums J have paid, in addition lo haring enjoyed the protection of my polit y during the twenty years it has been in force I am loath to part with stn h an old friend as this policy has been to me, but in doing so, I do not propose to part company with the Eyuliable, haring applied for another Tontine policy, the benefits under which 1 also hope to obtain during my lifetime." Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to policy No 99,813 as follows: " / took out a Tontine policy in your Company for $20,000. The policy has been settled In my satisfaction. 1 hare since taken'out polii-ies of the same kind for $00,000, because lam satisfied that the Tontine plan is to be preferred to any of which l hare knowledge." If these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who had died, they would he 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 harden of the continuing annual premiums on their policies, they would l>e 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, RKA lizkd on a 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 died prematurely. But these dangers have now been passed, and what is the result? Must they say, "We Kate paid out a great ileal of money in premiums, but we hire en joyed the protection of our assurance, and are satisfied that our money has been well spent: ire 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 gi ten for all these years, our Tontine policies hare turned outlobe •good INVESTMENTS, as isprored by the fact that the Equitable has returned all that we hare paid, with interest added " Think of it! A return of the total amount expended in premiums, with compound interest at from 3 too per centum per annum added thereto. GEO. HENRY McKEE, Darlington, S. C., SPECIAL AGENT.
