Columbia, S. C., May 14, 1913. Mr. T. O. Lawton, Manager, Southeastern Life Insurance Co., Greenville, S. C. Dear Sir: I had occasion recently to review in part the progress of insurance since I nave been Insurance Com missioner. I was struck with the fact that, when I became Insurance Commis sioner, the Southeastern Life had total assets of about $34,000. It has now assets of abort $380,000, practically increasing 200 per cent. in four years. When I realize that all ol these assets are invested in South Caro lina securities and that every dollar you spend for officers' salaries and expenses is spent in South Carolina, I can but real.ze the excellent wojrk you are doing in South Carolina in keeping this money in the State which wo old otherwise go beyond its borders, part of it never to re turn. The people of South Caro lina shoulu appreciate this fact. Very truly, (Signed) F. H. McMaster, Insurance Commissioner.
