PEASANT WITH TRUE VISION
Traveler Heard Robert Burns Praise
Washington, the American, for
His Patriotism.
A traveler exploring the wild beau
ty of the Caves of Colzean Id Scotland
- mot a young pennant, who astonished
him by his poetic description ot tho
scene, according to Hugh Miller's
"Tales and Sketches" published in
Boston half a century ago. A discusminn
a " * **
ui uiiTHiure ana philosophy, as
W?U as nature, Is concluded aa follows.
an exchange remarks:
"Man," said my companion, "should
lore his spocies at all times, hut It Is
'ji"with him If In times like these he
was not his country more. The spirit
of war and aggression Is yet abroad;
there are laws to be established,
rights to be defended, invaders to be
ropulsed; tyrants to be deposed And
who .but* the patriot Is equal to these
things? We are not yet dono with the
Bruces. the Wallaces, the Tells, the
Waahtugtons?yes. th* Wnshlngtons.
whether they fight Tor un or against
us we arc not dono with them. But
we are getting ashamed of our country,
of our langua?\ orr manners, our
music, our literature: nor shall we
have enough of the old spirit left us
to assert our liberties or fight our battles.
Oh. for some Barbour or Bltnd
Hurry of the pre ent day. to make us
once more proud of our country!"
I quoted the famous saying of
Fletcher of Saltoun, "Let mo make the
songs of a country, and 1 wilt lot you
make its laws."
"But hero," f said, "is our lugger
stealing round Turnborry Head \\>
shall soon part, perhaps forever, and
I would fain knew w'th whom I have
spent an hour so agreeably. and have
some name to know hint by. My own
namo Is Matthew Lindsay. I ain a
native of Irvine."
"And I," said the young man. rising
and cordially-* grasping the proffered
hand, "am a native of Ayr My name.
Is Robert Burns."
WONDERFUL INSECT IS FLY
Nuisance, and a Menace to Human
L'fe. but Wrll Worth the Most
Careful Study. .
Kill a fly. but fltudy him He Is a
wonderful creature, though a menace
and vfauisance, writes Garrett P.
SorviHft His muscles are as strong
as steel; his nerve action is as quick
as lightning If you were proportionately
as strong as a fly you could
seize a beam over your head with your
hands, and, with two tons of iron
fastened to your feet, easily raise your^
elf, together with the attached
weight, from the floor.
This calculation is no mere guess;
It fs based upon experiments made by
the Belgian naturalist, Felix Plateau,
who harnessed insects and small animals
of many kinds. In very Ingenious
ways, to ascertain their strength.
Likewise, if a fly were as big as a
man. and retained hta relative
strength, he could kill tigers with his
lands and split asunder the Jaws of
Hons with much more ease than Sameon
did.
U you were as quick as a fly you
op$}d 1st an oncoming express train,
traveling a mile a minute, come within
a foot of your nose and then dodge It.
9trtke at a "fly that Is lazily circling
with a playmate before your eyes and
observe with what nonchalant ease he
avoids your blow and instantly returns
to his play

FIRE INSURANCE ACT ti
DEFENDED BY AUTHOR
T
Senator Lancy lleviotvs Iauik, Hard a
Fight Wajced on Hill.
w
To the Kdltor of The State: I p
SI
I have hesitated about having any- w
thing to say about the act commonly
known as the anti-compact fire in-' ~
surance act passed bv the recent een
eral assembly because so much was
being written about it on both sides.
But I have been asked as to my
(views on this law by several as I
am one of the authors or the bill and
I take this opportunity of expressing
them.
Let me clear up one matter. 1
introduced this bill at the Instance
or suggestion of no man, and I introduced
it because I believed that
it was not right for fire insurance
companies oing business In this state
to make tho rate and then to combine
on that rate and thereby stifbany
possibility of competition on
rates. It was fought out strenuously
in the general assembly and the
house of representatives, after en*
during a most notable filibuster,
passed the bill after being tip prac*
tleally all night at about a. m
The farmers practically to a man
in the legislature stood by this hill
pud so did a great many of the members
from other walks of life.. Certain
fire insurance companies carried
the fight before the governor in order
to get him to veto the act but
he had the manhood and the backbone
to sign the same notwithstanding
the unrelenting f'ght put up by
these insurance companies, and the
people of this state should uphold
his hands and support him in this
gignntie fight that is now on between
the State of Soutb Carolina and
these certain fire insurance companies,
the great question being: "Shall
ibis great and proud commonwealth
he governed by these certain fire
i..ou>uii<< win |>c? iii i *-n:i i-ii? i- i'l
fire insurance matters, or shall th-1
state govern these certain fire insurance
companies in refernce to fire
insurance matters?" These same
fire insurance companies say, by
their acts, that they will not only
withdraw from the state bu* that
they will do all in their power to
inconvenience and frighten the poo
pie of this state and humiliate them
by bringing about chaotic conditions
as much as possible in order to fore
the repeal or nullification of this
law-, and now, when these certain
fire insurance companies think that they
have gotten the people sufficietnlv
frightened, they want to rush *
int othe supreme court with this law1 T
in order to have it declared uncon-'4j
stltutional. ^
I believe that there are sufficient
manhood, brains Rnd resources left t
in South Carolina to keep the stain J
from her fair name of having been J
brow-beaten, forced and humiliated T
lnt othe repeal or nullification of thisi^
law by these certain gigantic fire j ?
insurance companies. The state can
protect her people and. if it becomes V
necessary, the general assembly can -i
be called into extra session for that ,
purpose. The state is already in the|T
fire Insurance business in a limited T
way and is making money In this ^
business and this fight can not ii
be won in any othor way, the state [T
can easily and safely provide firo^ v'
insurance for the people.
Now, briefly, why have certain fireilE
Insurance companies left the state? IT
My answer is, for two reasons: First, i +
because this law prevents the making +
and combination on the rate. And.jX
second, because they desire to force v1
this state to repeal this law in order J1
that no other state may enact simi- T,
lar legislation. But already several T]
states have the anti-compact law in
one form or another. In a generalsway.
let us see what is the position i.!
of these certain fire Insurance com V|
panics at present judging from their,
letters and newspaper articles as to T,
how the state should treat them. T,
They take the position first on this 4";
Important question that the fire in- <
suranee companies be allowed to i
make whatever rate they please to *
make on all classes of property Ir.
this state without any interference .
from the state. Let the state de- ]
liver her sovereignty over to them
In this respect. Let the people take this
rate or leave it nlone. And. to (!
carry this position to its final analy- J
sis, it nionns that, though tho rate .
may In- excessive and exhorbitant
and unreasonable, you people ofrtouth
Carolina li?vo got to swallow ^
it or take no Insurance. They say .Tlet
them agree and combine and
makq compacts among themnelvea as 4'
to what the rate shall he and make ?<
this Inflexible rate Just what they ^
please. In the seoond place they vj
say that the state has. no right to. i J
and should not, supervise the rate | T!
made by them Leave them alone,'J g
they say. and have no power lodged ?e
anywhere to determine whether this
