Insurance
for over One Million Dollars of Life
-A
THIS IS A RECORD, NOT A
In the first place, the premiums collected remain in the SOUTH, and the company is
using its funds for the advancement of Southern progress, which means increased value to
your property. -
In the second place, the JEFFERSON STANDARD furnishes as safe insurance as any
company on tarth can furnish, and it has as great paying power today as any company in the
world, on account of its ratio of assets to liability. , f
In the third place, the. policies issued are safe and sane, and the fulfillment of the contract
is guaranteed by the rigid insurance laws under which the JEFFERSON STANDARD
operates. s
In the fourth place, the policies issued are as liberal, and the premiums charged are as
low as perfect safety will permit.
These are logical, cold blooded business reasons why Southern men should buy insurance
from the JEFFERSON STANDARD, and no honest insurance agent, no matter for what
company he is working, will deny therh ' '-.
It will not cost you anything to investigate the MERITS of the JEFFERSON STAN
DARD. It may prove to your interest to do so.
Write the HOME OFFICE, or better still, see our nearest representative, who will take
pleasure in showing you samples of our policies, and explaining their attractive features.

venture which he, in his supreme idle
ness, planned and proposed; but he
himself had never been quite ready
to mount horse or shake out sail,
and what Griswold had said about
indecision rankled in his heart. He
was sorry now that he had told ot
this new enterprise to which he had
pledged himself, but he grew lenient
toward Griswold's lack of sympathy
as. he reflected that the quest of a
winking girl was rather beneath the
dignity of a gentleman wedded not
now and then.
, "Don't worry, Ardy," he was say
ing to his friend as "all aboard"
was called, "and don't be reckless.
When you get through looking for
the winking eye, come up to Char
lottesville and we'll plan The True
Life of Captain Kidd that is some
day going to make us famous."
"I'll wire you later," replied Ard
more, clinging to his friend's hand a
moment after the train began to
merely to the law, but to the austere move. Griswold leaned out or tne
teaching profession as well. In his j vestibule to wave a last farewell to
heart he forgave Griswold, but he Ardfnore, and something very kind
was all the more resolved to address and ' gentle and good to see shone
himself stubbornly to his pursuit of
the deity of the car Alexandra, for
only by finding -her could be establish
himself in Griswold's eyes as a man
of'action, capable of carrying through
a scheme requiring cleverness and
act.
Ardmore was almost painfully rich,
but the usual diversions of the
in the lawyer's eyes. He went into
the car smiling, for he called Ardmore
his best friend, and he was amused
by his last words, which were always

were followed usually by telegrams
about the most preposterous things,
or suggestions for romantic advent

- Chester, S. C, Oct. 23. Mr. A. M.
Hardee, who has managed the Hotel
Cheater, located on top of the "Hill,"
for the past year, has decided to retire
from the hostelry business. His lease
expires Nov. 1st..
Mr. Giis Antonokus, a Greek, who
has been in the restaurant business
here for the past few years, has rent
ed the hotel and. intends Openi for
business immediately upon Mr. Har
dee's exit; '
'Mr. Antonokus" ' is - a resourceful
young man and has been in the United
States only four years. .He landed in
New York with less than $5 in his
pocket." He had read articles in the
Greek newspapers, iri Greece, he said,
of money lying round loose in the
street's' of New York like rocks. All
one had tbv do was ' to . shovel it up
free. As soon as these articles had
fired up Antonokus' and 10 of his
friend's, they made for this wonderful
land. When they landed in this coun
try with the expectation of loading up
trunks of money; and taking them back
home,- they fouD- money as " delusive
an article as it was in Greece. Gus
went to work, however, and ultimately
landed here, where he has made consid
erable money. He intends 1 fitting up
his hotel in . the best of style.- It will
be put in the best ;of trim throughout
and will be run pn the European plan.

But before this can be accomplish

women of this' club to do thefr shop

Every merchant who opposes early

that the women were responsible, for
