Thal. is a question for a man to decide for himself. But i am going, to keep mine until the war ends. CALLING INSURANCE LOANS. "As to the insurance situation, the Darties who have been handl ing our cotton expressed them selves as entirely satisfied with the situation. and I feel no un easiness. The Laney-Odom bill has been passed in other States, and every time this action has been taken, they have forced its repeal by the same methods that the Southeastern is adopting in South Carolina. It seems that they wish to force the calling of large loans and through this bring sufficient pressure to bear on the governor to get him to call an extra session to repeal the act. Times are different now from what they have been and so far as I am concerned, I am not willing to see a corporation dictate the policies of the State of South Carolina. I have here tofore suggested to the general assembly a system of State in surance and if the legislaturE were called together I,should ad vocate this policy. This issue ih made, and certainly the StatE I of South Carolina has sufficieni resources to take care of hei citizens. "After having talked with gov r ernment officials in Washingtor and with the governor of th( federal reserve board in Rich. mond, and seeing the interes1 which the government is taking in the welfare of the people anc - what a great blessing this nev federa, reserve bank is. I feel E new love for a democratic forn of government, and that it jus tifies the hope that in this in surance situation there is amp power in our State governmen to protect our people agains malefc6ctors of great wealth. "The people with whom I an dealing say that they can plac all of the large amounts of in surance in case the withdrawal, are sufficient to threaten citizen. of the State, and while it is no strictly a part of - my duties a I t cwarehouse commissioner, am in this fight and am perfectl' willing to give freely of my tim' and energy, and am placmng in surance now for parties who are uneasy over the situation. ~SUMMONS wAREHOUSEMEN. "'d'-insurance commissioner Mr. cKaiM~h~a)ms.ueda cir cular advising the farmerstO$m ganize mutual insurance com panies, and I heartily second th< suggestion. I have been iooking into this matter myself, and wil make a statement along this lin< shortly. I do not see why through the State Warehouse as. sociation which we formed ii January, we can not organizi mutual insurance companies t< carry the country property, anc I am today issuing a call for meeting of the executive com mittee of this association. "The Southeastern is trying t< strike a blow at the State Ware. house system by advancing thE rates on country property. I di( not begin this fight, 6ut I do no' propose to quit, now that it ha been forced, and if the farmer will back me, as I know they wil andiwith Mr. McMaster's aid anc is long experience we can or ganize these mutual insuranc< companies in every county ir South Carolina. The farmers o: Anderson, Oconee, Union, New. berry. Cherokee, York, Chester, Marlboro and Darlington are nov getting insurance on their dwel lings and tenant houses at less than 50 cents per $100, while th< farmers in the other counties o: the State have been paying $1.2( per $100. I find in looking ovei my mail this morning that in thE county of' Lee orders have beer issued to raise the county insur ance from $1.20 to $2. "P-ow, I have been for 25 year: trying to better the industria condition of our people and i: they will organize and make uj their minds to stick, we will wvir this battle, which will only be forerunner of greater victories. I FIELD) OVERWORKED. "Another reason why insur ane is so high in South Carolinm is t:hat there are too many com panics and too many agents. I looks to me as if when a man ha: failed to make a living in an' other line of business, he eithe: goes into politics, selling books or trying to write insurance. I would be a good thing if a large number of these companies woult .withdraw and about two-third: of the people now writing insur ance to earn a living had to gt to work at some useful, produc. tive occupation. In the hearing before the legislative committee: the agent of' one of the larg4 companies said that the expense -'of putting insurance into the hme offices of the companie: was about 41 and eight-tenths er cnt.

Mr. Fee came to Columbia in January from his farm in the Feasterville section of Fairfield to make his home with his son in this city. He was in his 82nd year.

Of cours< small amounts of insurance, wide ly scattered, are more expensive ~but if we can place the largl amounts. through the channel; which I now control and ther will follow the suggestion of Mr McMaster and organize thesi :mutuals in every county, with:a central office in Columbia, w' can save around 50 per cent. o: amounts paid in premiums to use less insurance agents.

These colds would sometimes con tinue two or three weeks and would be quickly followed by an other. Cold would frequently settle in my limbs, back and shoulders, causing me intense pain .of a neuralgaie nature. Dur ing several winters I have-worn plasters on my back almost afl the time. At times I was forced to arise at night and bathe my limbs in a strong linimemt to re lieve the ache. lEven in the sum mer months Iwas greatly troubled with colds, which my system seedied unable to throw off. When I had a cold I felt miser able and as if I were about to' fall to pieces. "I began taking Tanlac and took five bottles before I stopped. Now I enjoy -a freedom from colds I have not known in years. Before I took Tanlac I would catch a fresh cold every pay day, when I went into the cold pay 1car, and would feel-terrible for a wekor more. Last week when I paid off employees no ill effects came from the exposure, and the day was very cold. "For years I was peculiarly ef fected on my right (side, where there was a lump which would swell up and become sore and painful when I would take cold. I could not sleep on.that side, but the lump disappeared while I was Itaking Tanlac and can now rest well on that side. I feel splendid in every way. During the past ,five years I had to stayin at [nig*ht because I knew I ol take a severe cold if I went out S1and be almost.sick, but now I can' go out at night and go around in my shir't sleeves without suffer ing later from cold.
