A curious tax on the childless has

Some very strong objections to the
new round ootton bale are made by
Capt. Thomas Young, an experienced
cotton exporter of Charleston. Speak
ing ths other day of a round bale
which weighed 356 pounds, Capt.
Young asserted that it would take up
more space in the hold of a ship than
a square compressed bale weighing
500 pounds, while it would be much
more difficult to handle, for the reason
that, lacking iron bands, it could not
be safely bandied with hooks. He
nailed attention also to the fact that it
was almost impossible to (’raw a satis
factory sample from the round bale, a*
end samples are not desirable, and to
elit the bagging would result in the
bulging or bursting of the halo. Ac
cording to Oa]»t. Young’s view, while
| ® the round bale might do for abort
distance transportation, it is not the
proper thing for the rough handling
which must oceui incident to a long
distance voyage across the ocean

The Best Company is the Company

THE
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
IS THE OLDEST IN THE UNITED STATES AND
THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Since organisation to the present time, it has paid and now holds on
policies not yet due the enormous sum of $716,000,000.
Its dividend record is unsurpassed by any other company in the world.
It protects your dividends in case of death and provides for your old age.
See that your policy has this clause inserted in it.
As compound results are the source of life of all the old hue companies,
what is best for the company should be best for tbe insured. And for best
results take a policy in the grand old MUTUAL LIFE.
Fathers see to it that the daughter, the pride of your heart, when as
sailed by the vicissitudes of life and touched by the cruel hand of fate, shall
be provided with a guaranteed income lor life. The MUTUAL LIFE, the
strongest financial institution known on the globe—twice as large as the
Bank of England—writes that guarantee.
And to the patriotic soldier who feels called upon to avenge the wrongs
to his country, we say don’t forget the loved ones at nome—the Mutual Life is
prepaxed to take care of all. And for the benefit of those who have a policy
in this grand old company we give the following extract from a letter of the
president, Richard A. McCurdy:
“I wish you to assure every policy-holder in this Company
that his rights will be fully protected under all circumstances
and tha no one need hesitate to respond to the call of patriot
ism or duty through fear of the forfeiture of his policy.
RICHARD A. McCURDY, President.”
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
