INSURANCE. Editor Press and Banner: Sir: I noticc an article in your last issue on 1 Life Insurance?a Great Drain upon our ilcsourccs." In reply I would say tho writer has failed to provo what lie asserts, and has proven the contrary if you take his own figures. "Six hundred thouBand dollars paid in life insurance companies by citizens of Abbeville R County, and sixty or seventy thou r8and pakl back by the companies." , "What does this prove? That there has been over ten per cent, realized on the investment as a public onewhile as an individual benefit I can and am ready to prove, by actual figures from my books, that from live to seven hundred per cent, upon the am'ount paid in by individuals whose policies have matured (by their death) has been returned to the ben-] efieiaries. I. ask them What more would an individual or even acommu'nity want, for when apart is benefitted the whole has its share. Are his figures correct ? I answer no, most Emphatically no, without fear of contradiction. I represent a company '(the Piedmont and Arlington) which 'has done at least half of the business 'in Abbevillo County since tho war :ind am certain that not more than 'half of six hundred thousand dollars has been paid into life'insurance companies during that time, and one-third tff the amount received has been paid back to" beneficiaries of policies. Th'iA nf ten ner cent. \hero has actually been "returned thirty-three per cent. ZKot much of a drain, if any. Whose ftrcltis it if a policy is forfeited ? Not tho corfrpany's. Does ''Public Policy" expect ouo party to a contract to comply, if the other docs not? Insurance is nothing* moro than a contract. There are certain provisions which renders policies noa-forfeitable. The assured should read his or her policy nnrl net jionordinj?! v. So fur as an in ? o %! ? vestment is concerned common, senee should teach every one that no benefit can accrue to the assured. It is a provision for thoso who may be left behind, and such an one that every head of a family should make, instead of depriving the members of any of the necessaries of life. He can anil will foe! better able to supply their wants tiiore abundantly, Knowing that it will continue to do so.after he is gone, as many can testify. A policy taken out on tho life '6f A for the benefit of B, eflnnot b(Haken for or applied to the liquidation 6T any debt which A may havo Contracted during his or her life. So day tho C6urts, '-Public Policy" to the contrary notwithstanding. I fc'old that it i$ more morally right for one to provide for those who arc dependent upon him for a support in! this Vvaj*, than to.die and they claim the ho'ritotead. I ailiriit thai companies do of'tfct liandsome and costly buildings not only fbr their otfn use, but for rent. What of this? Is there any bottci* mveStnifcnt so far as security is concerned than real estate ? Security is the most prominent feature a life company should possess. I't 4s not life insurance l)>at "renders our people so impoverished, that -wastes o<ir money, causes our lands to lio idle, and tho waters of our streams to flow unprofitably by." It is want of energy and enterprise their part coupled with fraud and "misrule on tho part of "the powers that be." So, my erring friend, who ?vcr yo:i be, Life Insurance is the noablest, wisest and surest plan ever conceived of by man, for the benefit of 'hte fellow man, and I would advise that you use your pen and brain in a better cause than that against Life Insurance, say agaiust public printing. \Y\ T.
