While Attending the Methodist Confer ence.—Sad and Sudden End of a Useful Life. A gathering, such as a Meth odist Conference, where men working in the same noble cause, 1 meet to discuss the best meth-'\\r e handle in large quantities. Otis of promoting tlutt cause, is| ” * always a pleasant occasion and a source of profit to those who participate in its councils. But Death may even invade these pious assemblages, and, throw ing a pall over the proceedings, sadden the work of love and de votion. There is a lesson taught in death, however, particularly the sudden death; its presence recalls to our minds how slender is the tenure that we have on life and how uncertain are all things mortal. The Methodist Conference re cently in session in Darlington had its lesson of this nature. Rev. J. W. Murray, while in performance of his duty, labor ing faithfully for the good of his people and his church, was re moved suddenly from his tield of usefulness. On Wednesday night of last week he was strick en with apoplexy in the Metho dist Church, whither he had gone to hear the lecture of Dr. Morrison upon missions. He was carried to the residence of Mr. J. W. Blackwell, where he was staying, and despite the efforts of Drs. W. J. Garner and P. E. Griffin, who were sum moned, he died about eleven o’clock that night. His son, Rev. P. A. Murray, who is also a member of the Conference, was at the bed side until the heart of the good man had ceased to beat. Mr. Murray’s daughter, Mrs. A. J. A. Perritt, resides at Lamar and his remains were taken there on Thursday and interred the following day. Mr. Murray was born about sixty years ago in that part of Charleston County which is now Berkeley. From early boyhood he gave promise of a useful life and his brightness attracted the attention of Mr. Mazy ok Poreher, of Charleston, who, Mr. Mur ray’s parents being very Door, had him educated. , He was graduated from the Citadel Academy and soon afterwards joined the Conference. He was twice located in Darlington County, the first time about 1800 and again from 1887 to 1891, when he had charge of Lower Darlington Circuit. Conse quently he was well known at this place. At the breaking out of the war Mr. Murray enlisted in the Confederate army and rose to the rank of Major, making as good a warrior for his country as a soldier for the Cross. “A good man gone,” was the exclamation that escaped from the lips of every man in Dar lington, members of the Con ference and citizens generally, when it was learned that he was no more. Faithful in every thing, diligent in all his works and ever mindful of his sacred calling, he had made, during his long and useful ministry, a host of friends and admirers. He will obtain the reward of virtue for he died, as he lived, at the post of duty. We have in stock and to arrive in a few days, One car load of Bacon. Corn. Flour. Molassses.

When a man says lis is Satisfied, he means a great deal. On© of the policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. Charles \ A. Edwards, of New York, who, in 1S71, took a twenty-year Tontine policy with the Equitable for $10,000, writes as follows: "lam extremely until nolisfied \ with this result, obtaining more than $1,000 in excess of all the premium# \ have paid, in addition lohaciny enjoyed the protection of my policy during] the twenty year* it has been in force lam loath to part with such an oht friend as this {wla y has been to me, but in doing so, I do not propose to part company with the Jit/u iUible, having applied for another Tontine policy, the benefits under which I also hope to obtain during my lifetime." Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to [>olioy N'o ‘.Mi,'.si:', as follows: "I took out a Tontine policy in your Company for $30,000. The policy has been settled to my satisfaction. I bare since taken out policies of the same, kind for 450,000, 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 siitistted with their assurance because it furnished protection, and (face them sufficient peace of mind to offset the burden of the continuing annual [ premiums on their jmlicies, they would Ik 1 no more than reasonable assertions. But this satisfaction is something more than this: It is the gratification of men j who have, over and above the protection from the assurance, hkali/.kd on a profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes, ami 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 hare paid out a great deal of money in premiums, but we h ire en joyed the protection of our assurance, and are satisfied that our money has been well spent: we hare nothing more to expect, and hare nothing further to ask." They might say this, and be content, hut they are able to say much more than this, thus: "We are more than satisfied because, in addition to the protection given for all these gears, our Tontine policies have turned out to be good INVESTMENTS, as is proved by the fact that the Equitable has returned al. 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.
