' Orangeburg, April29.-At this

Mas er.
In a recent speech to the
South Carolina, white teachers
association at Spartanburg, In
surance commissioner F H. Mc
Magji?r made tne.followingtitter
?twi? I have be?n made sick~ at
heart as r have, heard South Car
olinians say that successful in
surance companies can only- be
conducted., in the North. Why
ladies and gentlemen, I can take
you to Columbia and-sho w you a
Negro preacher who i-f conduct
ing a successfully one of the
safest industrial insurance com
panies in America. As a matter
of fact' I know of no other com
pany In exactly, the same condi
tion. Its surplus is greater than
its liability to its policyholders."
Commissioner McMaster was
speaking- to representatives oi
the most cultured and.highly ed
ucated white people of both "sexes
in South Carolina andspeakingoi
a Negro business enterprise con
trolled and man?ged by South
Carolinians' of the Negro race.
This is the highest compliment
we have ever known to be paici
to anyinsurance company. This
company ' s advertisement appears
elsewhere in the Southern Indi
cator. We recommend it to you.
Take out a policy at once if you
have not already done so. Dr.
