Philadelphia, contending ! that tire insurance rates should b? lixed by common agreement anion* all the important companies, sayi Ithat "several states have attempted to utidertcrmine insurauce by forbid' ding the companies to make Joint rates" and that "South Carolina Is ! the latest example." "Many com ??"loo ? if arlil? "instead of ruinous' ly competiting as to rates, have simply withdrawn from the state,'' ami that "they owe it to their policy-holders elsewhere to withdraw from any state where they can do business on i a sound basis. That the principle of co-operation in rate-making is wise the state agrees but. of course, somewhere , there should be lodged a power ot revision and correction. The Saturday evening l'ost is : responsible journal, published in one of the centres of the fire underwriting business, and it is about as well placed to reflect the opinion of the great underwriting companies as is any journal in America. It will be noticed that it puts its linger on the inhibition of joint rate-making as the objection of the companies to the Laney-Odom law. In other words, the opinion of the Philadelphia weekly, reduced to concrete terms, is that the companies have withdrawn from South Carolina mainly because the Southeastern Underwriters' association has been forbidden to operate in the state. Tit is some of the companies deny, but it is probably true, nevertheless. The Saturday Kvening Post knows what it is talking about. In its concluding paragraph our Philadelphia contemporary says that "co-operative insurance in perfectly fori Cl 111 A :r> U * - ? Al - - * 4 ............it i.ui, ii is pracxicea xo a considerable extent, especially in farming communities. A community that thinks its insurance rates are too high should turn to that, and not to a mistaken attempt to enforce competition in rate-making." To this doctrine we subscribe. Those citizens of South Carolina who ire dissatisfied with insurance rates should provide insurance for themselves or they should cease botherng other people about it. The suggestion that the state hould go into the insuring business s wrong because it is unfair. If injuring by the state is practicable ind economical this newspaper would profit by it bora use it is a large buyer of insurance. Its proper-! tics being covered by policies for <unis ten times so great as those of the average farmer, lawyer or doctor. but it would lie manifestly unjust to force all the taxpayers of South Carolina to indorse the insurance on the state's printing presses, linotype machines and building. Tlie bulk of the insurance property of the state is owned by a relatively small proportion of the people. Much of it is owned by corporations. State insurance, if it should be suc. essful. would l>e tantamount to the use of the stale's name and credit lor the benefit of the well-to-do and v on It by. Three of four out of every five citizens would derive no ad ventage from it whatsoever. It would be another long step in the promotion of an aristocracy founded on roperty The State. - In emphasizing the value of home demonstration work the Florence i niM-s puis 11 in a iiuisnpii. as roilows, "For having learned thes" homely arts the girl grows fnto .1 flifr lady, a better wife, a hette" moth* r and a surer benefit to thy neighborhood in which she lives." + The old soldiers ran not at least hope to celebrate many move re unions and we hope that those that remained will be as enjoyable a< tlte on< held this week in ltock Mill the good town which honored itsel in honoring the heroes of the south + The coal dealer seems to In- de term ned that the ice nian must post pone his coining for awhile.

THE LANCASTER NTP I it ISH AT TIIK KHONT The clash between Dublin clvilia in<i British soldieis cannot be sn - properly to illustrate the spirit ; all gallant sons of Erin. The Iri j regiments in Fran?e represent battalions of foot soldiers, in ad< s,tion to hussars, laLcers, dragoo *|and yeomanry horse. There are te 1 of thousands of Irish in the artillei . j the medical corps, the engineers, t . royal navy and in English, Welsh ai u * Scottish regiments. ' I The war has brought into vie " the military qualities of the Iris - It has done more, it has provi . them to be the primier soldier , this war. Her own interest is us ally the last thing to move Irelan generous people that the sons Erin are. We quote John Redmoi i "What stands out is that on eve front the work of the Irish soldie has been not only of great, mei in every instance, but of exception merit, and they have to their cred some of the most splendid and a * tonishing achievements.'' We could enumerate to the exte of multiplicy the daring exploit not of individual Irishmen but entire commands. The Irish Guai at Mons; the Royal Irish Regime; at Ypres; the London Irish at Loo; the Irish division which saved tl allies on retreat from Serbia; tl brilliant feats on Gallipoli. "Clim! ing into hell on an aeroplane seemc an easier proposition." The Irish have won their nlace i the center of the picture. For loya ty. courage and fidelity they ha\ been unexcelled in this war whir has mothered so much of heroism.Columbia Record. CATAWBA .U NCTION' TRAIN CO?
