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.
