INSURANCE DRIVE FOR EX-SERVICE MEN r> The United States Veterans' Bu- ? : e reau has designated the week of1 April 10-17 as Insurance Week. The d i object of the Bureau is to induce all w I ex-service men to reinstate their gov- j ^ ernment insurance. A great many of i - I ^ the ex-service men have not kept up thfir insurance since the war. Those w I having the matter in charge believe C1 this government insurance to be a' vaiuauie iu mac cA-oti? and it is hoped that by the designa-' a i tion of an Insurance Week during T which time the drive will 'be made to ^ I ^ see all ex-service men who have drop-' ir ped their insurance; that most if not ^ all of those who have done so, may be induced to reinstate their insur- J p ance. All ex-service men without disa-: bilities may reinstate their policies by paying three months premiums,: 1 * i. n one premium to cover arrears, one to cover present due premium and one j premium in advance! Men with hazard disabilities mayj _ reinstate their policies by paying all; laDsed Dremiums and five ner cent, i interest thereon, to be compounded | annually. Any ex-service man may be examined free of cost by the salaried | physician of the United States Veter-j ans* Bureau. The amount of insurance for which I reinstatement may be had must be not less than $1,000 and not more} than the amount originally granted j the insured. , There are six kinds of convertible insurance issued by the government as follows; (1) Ordinary life policy. (Z) Twenty payment life policy. (3) Thirty payment life policy. (4) Twenty payment endowment policy. (5) Thirty payment endowment policy. (6) Endowment policy at 62 c< years of age. | oj Further information may be had T by writing the Sub-District Manager S. C. Groeschel, 907 Loan and Ex change Bank Building, Columbia, S. C., Care of the U. S. Veterans' "Bu reau. Mr. James A. Broom, Plac. Assist ant's Office, was in Abbeville yes terday looking after this matter. He may be reached at the same address, and will be glad to give any ex-ser vice man needed information about the matter of his insurance. No relief which the government could give the ex-service men would be comparable to the matter of their insurance, and it is a matter of re gret that so many of them, from one cause or another, have allowed their policies to lapse. It is to be hoped that every ex-service man in Abbe ville County will take advantage of the opportunity now offered lo have sj his policy reinstated in one of the!^ forms proposed by the government, j jr I HUMBERT MAY RUN. jir iR According to reports current 01.1 the streets for the past week, strong o efforts are being made by friends of|e< Mr. H.

Planting is backward lr. Texas,, ; fie review said, and little or none : as as yet been seeded in the lower lississippi Valley. Conditions were lore favorable in the Atlantic coast itates and planting made good prog ess in that area. This work has be?r. nished in parts of Florida and the j arly planting is up to a good stand! i Southern Georgia. Planting wasj xtended during the week to Central! Torth Carolina and Southeastern j forth Carolina, whioh is somewhat) arlier than the average season. Truck crops have been seriously amaged in Southern Florida by dry rather, says the report, and some arm has been done in Arkansas by le frost of April 1 and heavy rains ecessitated replanting in the lower lississippi Valley. Otherwise the reek was mostly favorable for truck rops. Early fruit trees were reported in loom northward to Maryland and le southern portions of Indiana nd Illinois. Apples are blooming in ennessee and North Carolina, eaches are setting well in Georgia nd are mostly in good condition 1 North Carolina. Frost damage to ruit during the week was neglible.

I STATE MAY LOSE MANY THOUSANDS Automobile License Laws Are Not Being: Enforced Highway Of ficials Think. Columbia, April 6.?South Caro lina may lose something over $150, 000 because the legislature did not provide for the enforcement of the 1 motor vehicle license laws of the state, according to figures compiled yesterday by highway department of ficials for the close of business on the first quarter of the year. This big loss is now staring the 1 department in the face, and unless some action is taken by the counties, there will hardly be a chance to get the money. The loss comes about from the decrease in motor vehicle registrations. To date, including figures for the close of March, only 67,521 automo biles hare been registered and this is 1 a decrease of 15,842 automobiles - * * 1 4. TUa 4.:^^ r mune lruni iadi ytzai* aiic tunc jlui registering machines ended February 1 and the highway department be lieves these 15,842 automobiles are "somewhere in South Carolina" with out license plates. The average cost for a license for a car is $7.50 and this gives a loss of $118,815 because of the failure to have inspectors to enforce the law. A total of 5,713 trucks have been registered so far and this gives a de crease of 1,484 from last year. The average for a truck license is $17 and this means a loss of $25,228. Only 23 trailers havt been regis tered to date, this being a decrease of 36 from last year. Trailer licenses are sold for $12 and this brings a $432 loss. So far only 375 motorcycles have < been licensed, which is a loss of 385 from last year and at $3 each, a monetary loss of $1,555. Dealers have dropped in number also, only 416 being registered so far. This is a loss of $6,204.90. This gives a total of $151,834.90. that the state stands to lose this : year, according to highway officials, I who are not very well pleased with | this prospect now^ facing them. A j strong effort to get the counties to enforce the license laws and thereby! Ejet the money is being made and j this may have a good result, al hViniicVi nothing definite has as vet been accomplished except in one or two counties. Last year two inspec tors were ^maintained and theyj brought in thousands of dollars that would very likely have otherwise been lost. The salary was $1,800 Bach. No money was provided by the legislature to employ inspectors this /ear. Total receipts to date from the sale of motor vehicle licenses have reached $613,361.76. This includes , Dostage. , IT'S FIFTY-FIFTY New York, April 6.?Recognition >f the changed status of women by itriking from the Episcopal marriage ; :eremony the promise to obey and ' iliminating the compulsory giving in 1 narriage was proposed by the com- J nission on revision of the Book of 1 Common Prayer, in a report made >ublic tonight.

ESAUFORT GAZETTE r DESTROYED BY FIRE' Blaze of Incendiary Origin, it Is Be lieved?Owned i>y Senator Chriatenten. Beaufort, April 6.?The plant of the Beaufort Gazette, owned by Sen ator Neils Christensen, was totally destroyed by fire early this morning. The blaze was discovered about mid night and the fire gained such head way until practically all efforts of the fire department and marines from Parris Island were exerted towards saving adjoining buildings. It is be lieved that the fire was of incendi ary origin, as a blaze was discovered in the store of Kinghorn Brothers' uompany earner in vue mgnu a.ma was quickly extinguished. The loss is estimated at about $20, 000, with little insurance. Senator Christensen is not in the city. ; The Beaufort Gazette is the only paper published in Beaufort County. It is understood th^t immediate ar rangements will be made for erect ing another building and for the regular issuing of the paper. VEGETABLE NOTES Tomato plants may now be trans planted in Eastern District in open ground. In the Pee Dee and Pied mont Districts and similar latitudes we find April 10th and 15th as early as advisable. .""Tomato seed may also be planted in open ground either In a bed or directly in the field where plants are intended to grow. Snap Beans?Plant "1,000 to One" and the Stringiess Green Pod because of their superior eating qualities. Drill in the seed instead of dropping in hills as this gives more room to each individual plant. Where ^ Of you much cultivate largely with a hoe there is some advantage in drop ping in hills about a foot apart or wide enough to let tho hoe go be tween. Be sure to fertilize these early beans well if you want a good crop. Butter Beans?'Plant these as soon as the ground is warm and danger of frost is past, about the same time you plant cotton. Cabbage?Try a patch of cabbage at his time^ planting the seed in the field right where you intend them to grow. The All-Season and Succession varieties are the beet. These cab bages will head in July, after the early, crop is off. The main trouble you may have with them is the green worm, but if you keep them givwiiig iapiuiji| juu van ittcji auwu of the worms by dusting with lime and arsenate of lead 8 to 1. Tomato Blight or Wilt?This fun gus disease is very common. Now the only real remedy or preventative is to plant your tomatoes on land that is not affected with $he fungus. Do not plant tomatoes on land that has had either tomatoes, Irish pota toes or watermelons grown^ on it, for at least four years. Use lime 1 J irueraiy, uxuau-casu uii unt> mnu cr bher before or after setting your plants. Also be sure the land is well drained. MARKETS SIGN TOBACCO PACT South Boston, Va., April. 6.? Twenty-eight out of 35 bright and dark tobacco markets in Virginia have signed up with the tobacco powers' cooperative association for L'he next five yers. A large majority of the Virginia warehousemen who met in South Boston' representing nearly every toibacco market of im portance in Virginia signed the con tract to lease or seJl their proper ties to the tobacco growers' coopera tive association today.

Sapiro, who is al so attorney for the successful Burley growers' marketing association of Kentucky, stated that the contract was drawn up with the intention of giving absolute fairness to both far mers nd warehousemen, and said: "The men who run the warehouses now are in great measure th? men whom we shall want to run the ware houses for the assocaiton." PROPHECY OF 1886 MADE BY BISMARCK storic Document- Has Just Been V Made Available To The Associated Press .Barlin, Apr. 4.?A prophecy bear ? on Germany's present situation | si is made by Bismarck in a letter, b :herto unpublished, addressed to e Prussian minister of war, Geri al BTonsart von Schellendorf, and ted December 24, 1886. The his ric document has just been made ailable to The Associated Press. "If God wills that we shall 'be de ated in the next war, then there n be no doubt that our victorious ponents will halt at no expedient prevent us from getting on oqr et again? at least not for a gel ation?just as they did in 1807," e Iren Chancellor wrote. He warned his ministers that Gear- ^ my would be called upon to de- a nd both her eastern and western ontiers in the "next war" as the w alignment of European powers ecluded the probability of G^r my being able to count on Russian d English assistance, as was the Se in 1814,'When in addition to the pport of those nations, Germany und an unexpected ally in the issian winter which destroyed ipoleon's army.
