And when we take into consideration that in many cases it requires only the removal of sundry stumps and boulders to make this land profitable, it certainly looks as though something might he done to save the waste. "Stumping with dynamite" is both an economical, quick and labor saving method as well as one that is growing in popularity daily.

Mr. McLaurin's + statement follows: > I have just been north In an endeavor to reach some adjustment of the Insurance trouble in this state, I am making a detailed report to Governor Manning, containing some specific conclusions. I feel that I owe it to the people of the slat, to let them understand the situation as 1 view it. \ The companies, whether "board" or "non-board," were informed by certain people in (his state that an extra session of the legislature would be convened on account of the $100,000 appropriation of the asylum. They were also led to believe t at the insurance legislation was intended to punish the insurance companies unrl a nrhiii'irile t'i v i 1* a 1 did what I could to relieve this impression and think that I succeeded to some extent. I lit; Companies Dominant. I found, however, that the situation was completely dominated by three of four big companies, and ?\3t there was no common ground upon which I could treat with th in. While they are doing business ir New York, Now Jersey and other states whore the rates are supervised by the state, they said that the> were fighting for a principle and that they contended for the right to go into any state and fix the rate of Insurance and that the authorities in such state had no right to question these rates. I explained to them that all we wanted In South Carolina was to Insure that there should be competition; that under present conditions there was competition between the agents for busin<*.s, but nr.: at all between the companies in fixing the rates. I expressed my perfect willingness to have the matter of fixing the rates somewhat on on tlio lino of the New York law with a representative of bolli the companies and the state acting Jolntly. but tlic v were absolutely determined In their position. These. men are so far off from (he people and get their Information from sources that are so antagonistic to popular thought that I concluded It was best to aay nothing more to them at the. present time. In my report to Governor Manning I shall discuss what is practical for us to do. ?
