Cue of the greatest afflictions from wbl this country now suffers Is lire Insuran The enormous Rurpl s 'und of the compan Is proof conclusive that the system Is dang ous, and Is to be avoided. We see It stal that la-t year 1S94). according to the report the comptroller general, all the old line o panies doing business In the State of Sou Carolina collected $836,313 trom their poll holders, and paid S366.7S7 in death loss which leaves $409,526 that was collected o\ and above losses. Here then Is nearly half a mlllloo dolli actually thrown away every year in Sou Carolina. luniwu <11 tuiuni?K men iuuu away on life insurance, these same pi pie had Invested their money in cott mill stock. This State woujd now have i teen millions in good paying investmenl Cotton mills will stand and pay dividends the end of time, and be a blessing to genet tlons yet unborn. But Instead ot building < our waste places, Instead or giving emplo ment to the laboring classes, instead of hs lng profitable stock whose dividends wou be a blessing to old and joung, millto of dollars are taken lrom us to Impovi ish the country and to bankrupt the lndlvi ual citizen. If a man gambles in futures. If he bets on horse race, if he buys a lottery ticket, the is a possibility of some return, but where the chance for profit n becoming a slave the insurance companies? When men a youngand prosperous they may keep up t! strain for a lew jeurs, but, except in rareca* the same result awaits them all?bankrupt and ruin. Few men can stand the strain ( their estate#, even when young, but wheu II increasing burdens and Infirmities of old a come, nine tenths of the insured must si render. The large majority of the Insured squand their estates, and they are left to die In ne and want. In the few cases where the individual wit the widow comes into possession of morn which Is she unable to manage and she eltn spends it or lends it to poor relatives, and it Is gone in a very short time. If men save tbelr money, and make ihf wives their trusted iriends and coroseliei the wives become accustomed to the own* ship of propertj and tbey hold on to it beti than they can to uninvested leady cash.
