PENN MUTUAL
Life Insurance
COMPANY,
PHILADELPHIA.'
We sell life iosoraoce-this is our
business; we're been at it forty-five
years and know mach of ita possibilities
and limitations. This isn't strange
We ael! life insurance at cost, AT
EXACT COST, strange as it may
seem.
The reason is that we sell it to oar
selves, and ourselves include all who
.re now mem bere of the PENN
MUTUAL LIFE* or who may be?
come Mien ; that is, are ore chartered,
?quipped, conducted for this very pur?
pose and no other. We have been ?ac
cess fal-extremely so, when measured
by jost standards-as wiii be freely ad?
mitted by our competitors.
Exact cost excludes the idea of profit
to anyone except the insured, or his
family ; and there isn't a mill of profit
to any one else. Expenses there are.
Salaries are paid officers and clerks and
doctors, and occasionally fees to lawyers
for investigation of titles, etc., with
taxes to the State, etc. Agents are
paid commissions. AU these expenses
are kept at a minimum by a board of
trustees chosen from policy-holders.
There is therefore unity, no diversity of
interest-each being interested for all,
nf! (be time, because of his individual
interest.
The proof of thew things rests largely
io the knowledge of the insured ; and
in the ?talement of results under differ?
ent plans ?nd condici?n* of insurance
camed through a series of years.
Thoa an Ordinary Life Policy for $5,000
has been carried through forty-6 re years at
aa average cost of $8.51 per year per thou?
sand ; the paid op insurance would noir be
$4,960, the cash reserve is something in ?scees
Of $3.400.
A Ten-Payment Life Policy for $10,000
COSt in gross premiums $4,294. Surplus has
been applied to increase the insurance, which
now amounts to $14,648, and ts yearly in?
creasing.
A Fifteen-Year Endowment Policy for
$5,000 which has matured and been paid cost
but $3,81125, thus Tf tu ming a large profit
on the investment in addition to the insurance
throughout the period.
A variety of illustrations, including
? concise explanation of the principles
of insurance, maj be had for the asking.

Gen. Francis Marion.
In 1732 two infants first ssw the
light of day-one io Virginia and one
in Sooth Carolina-who was destined to
figure in their country's history, side
by side, and through succeeding gener?
ations to have their names inscribed
more universally on the soil of the
Union than aoy other two citizens or
soldiers of the country.
Washington and Marion are boose
hold words from the Atlantic to tbe
Pacific, from the lakes t? the golf;
counties, cities, vilages bear their names
everywhere over the breadth of a conti?
nent without regard to the parallels of
latitude.
Gen. Marion's part in the struggle
for American independence was con?
spicuous from the first irritating cause,
the Stamp Act of 1765, down to the
i evacuation of Charleston in December,
1782
When Charleston was surrendered
in 1780, Gen Marion, anticipating this
result, left the city in a small boat and
landing on the Wando Rifer took to
the swamps, and for thirty months was
one of the few recognized leaders who
kept alive the spirit of liberty when
South Carolina was overrun by British
soldiers from Ninety-Six to Charleston.
He had an irrepressible conflict with
Kiog George III and never let up an
hour in bis efforts. His name and
fame are only second to Washington in
the hearts of his countrymen even to
this day ; he died in 1795 and was
buried at "Belle Isle" plantation, as
was the habit io those days. What
was then thought of bim by his neigh?
bors and friends is expressed in this
eloquent epitaph :
Sacred to the Memory
of
GEN. FRANCIS MARION,
who departed this life on the 27th
February, 1795,
io thc 63d year of his age,
Deeply regretted by all bis fellow
citizens. History will reeord his
worth and rising generations
embalm bis memory as
one of the most
distinguished
Patriots and Heroes of the American
Revolution,
which elevated his native Country to
Honor and Independence aod se?
cured to her the blessings of
Liberty and Peace.
This tribute of veneration and grati?
tude is erected in commemoration
of the noble and disinterested
virtues of the citizen and the
gallant exploits of the sol?
dier, who lived without
fear and died with?
out reproach.
The original tomb was built of brick
with a marble slab on top, on which
the epitaph was inscribed. Some years
ago a large tree was blown down, and
falling across the tomb wrecked it
whether, owing to climatic causes or
inferior quality of bricks u?ed, a new
structure would have been soon neces?
sary without the fall of the tree, the
old one being in a crumbling condition
wheo examined a year ago; the inscrip?
tion, too, had become illegible from the
action of the elements.
The oew memorial ordered by the
General assembly is in tbe form of a
sarcophagus, the base block is thirty
inches wide and six and a half feel
long, fifteen inches high ; upon this
rests the centre or die block, thirty
inches high ; a third piece surmounts
the struc*are for ornament and finish.
The Material is Winnsboro granite,
finished in rusti? styie, and wheo erect?
ed on its sub-base will have an eleva?
tion of six feet.
The material of the old structure
will be used up entirely in tbe concrete
foundation, wbbb is necessary to sup?
port the new tomb, which will weigh
about seven tons. This disposition
edentifies the old with the new monu?
ment and prevents these precious rem?
nants from laying around as common
material. The remnants of the old
stone slab and inscription will be pre?
served and brought to tbe oity for sucb
action as the State authorities may deem
best.
It will be a source of pride and grati?
fication to Americans throughout the
Union to know that the original epi?
taph is to be preserved to the latest
posterity io an elegant bronco panel
sunk in one side of thc three-ton die
block, while the other side will have a
second bronze panel, displaying the
full coat of anns of South Carolioa, and
the following inscription :
To preserve to posterity the burial
place of an honored son
The General Assembly of South
Carolina
Replaces tbe orumbling and broken
tomb nearly a century old with this
enduring memorial, cut from
her own granite hills.
Ksto perpetua.
1893.
The whole structure is built as against
Father Time, and it is hoped that
trees near it will be cut down, but
Mr. T. II. Reynolds, the contractor,
thinks that it another tree should fall
it would be a bad business for tbe
trees !
The plans and specifications for this
memorial have been furnished to the
Governor by Mr. L J. Barbot, with
out charge. The Henri Bouward
Bronze Company of New York are
themselves so much pleased with these
handsome bronze panels as works o*f
high bronze art that they purpose to
plaoc them on eah?bition in New York
before shipping them to Charleston.
Mr, Reynolds will also arrange to
place them on exhibition here when re?
ceived, but on!y for a ?hort time.
Th 3 State authorities are I? ebafge
of this good work, and it is presi
that so me formal ceremonies wi

Commissioner Traxler is at bis home
quite sick. In his absence most of she
dispensary business is being done by
Governor Tillman. A lot of sample
bottles have been received. They have
the palmetto tree blown on them.
A Personal Controversy.
We have given our readers the rea*
eons of Gov. Tilman for "blacklisting"
Mr. Dooaldson to President Cleveland,
and we have also presented them with
Mr. Donaldson's reply to those charges.
We think it unnecessary for us to com?
ment to any extent on the matter, as we
have great confidence in the ability of
our farmers to take the case as present
by each gentleman and decide for them?
selves what is right and what action is
best. We expect our farmers to take
the matter in their own hands and
calmly, in a judicial way, deeide the
case. Mr. Tillman and Mr. Donaldson
are both servants of the people, and
not their masters, and their personal
differences and ambitions should not be
allowed io hamper the progress of the
Alliance and the Reform movement in
this State. Their differences are per?
sonal, as politicians, and we cannot see
that the Alliance is directly affected.
Mr. Tillman's charges against Mr.
Donaldson refer almost entirely to bis
relations to the Reform Democracy and
the Reform Democracy must settle it.
Whether the charge is true or not,
that Mr. Dooaldson promised when
elected President of the State Alliance
that he would not ron for office, aod
which he denies, the present difficulty
only emphasises the position that has
always been held by the writer, that
our leading officials, on account of their
personal identity with the organisation,
which is unavoidably should scrupu?
lously avoid any personal or
partisan political entanglements
during their term of office, for
the sake of the integrity of the
Order. We cannot fiod a sufficient
excuse for Gov. Tillman's request of
President Cleveland, and* have
failed to see what good could
possibly come of it is any event and if
we thought he did it as a blow at tbe
Alliance, which we do not, we should
unhesitatingly condemn him for the
action. The thing has been done, how?
ever much we may regret it, and we
rely on tbe intelligence and wisdom of
our farmers to settle it as it should be
settled.
These are our honest views on the
matter and are given as personal ex?
planation, and we will only exhort all
Reformers, especially Allrancemen, to
not allow themselves carried into hostile
camps on account of personal matters".
