rhe Press and Banner VV H. <1 H. K. BKADI.EY, Editor** ABBEVILLE, S.C. . Published every Wednesday 8> C n f ur ! advance. ^edDesday, Jan. 17, 1912 . SENATOR MARS HITS INSURANCE TRUST Senator Mars has introduced a bill looking to th6 expulsion of the South eastern Tariff Association from the State of South Carolina. While his immediate purpose is to relieve the burdened condition of property hold ers of Abbeville, the bill is of course Sate wide in its application. A mammoth petition representing about a million dollars of property insured in Abbeville, setting forth the inequality of rates as well as the ar bitrary and excessive rates made by , the association, has been placed in Senator Mar's hands, and will be dis tributed to members of fie legislature. The total insurance premiums col lected annually in South Carolina, should bear some reasonable prpor tion to the total of losses paid The to tal of premiums paid for fire inscur ance in any county can be ascertained in the office of the Comptroller Gener al, and perhaps in the office of the Insurance Commissioner. The losses paid may be had in the office of the Insurance Commissioner. Compari son of premiums collected and losses paid would make interesting reading to the public and would open the eyes of members of. the legislature to the systematic robbery conducted through the insurance tariff trust Without having accurate information, at a ven ture, it is safe to say that for every dollar paid in losses three are collect ed in premiums. The main grievance against the in ; , surance trust, however, is not the ex f?oosivA rate nhareed. but is on ac count of its arbitrary methods and its discrimination in rates, without re dress. Railroads and telegraph lines are held to some kind of accountability in making rates, and a grievance may be carried to the Railroad Commission. Fire insurance companies collect from people of the State tremendous sums, make their raes through an alien trust and we tamely submit to the rates. Until the legislature moveB for the protection of the people, we are pow * erless to do otherwise. A bill Bhould pass the legislature prohibiting any fire insurance company to do business in South Carolina that either belongs to the Southeastern Tariff Association or has its policies go through the stamping office. It should also pro vide for appeal to the insurance com mission or to certain officers in each county, in case the insured has a grievance.

Frank B. Gary to the position of Judge of the Eighth Circuit, Abbeville county has again been signally honored. He is the third and youngest son of Dr. Frank Gary, ana enjoys with his brothers the unique distinction of all occupying places on the bench. Judge Gary has been exceedingly popu lar with the State Legislature from the time of bis entry into public life. In his recent election he was unopposed. He is also deservedly popular with the people of; Abbeville county. He has their confidence, and they have honored him from time to time, as much on account of their personal regard for him as on account of the faith fulness and ability with wkich he has dls cnargea tne amies unaercaxwu uy mm. Judge Gary, both In temperament and In point of ability, Is well qualified for service on the bench. He is a lawyer of ripe ex perience, good Judgment, and thorough ness of information. It is certain that his judicial career will be marked by ability, and that fairness that seeks the right in the tangled contradictions of court pro / cedure. Short Sketch of His Life Judge Frank B. Gary was born at Cokesbury on March 9th 1860, and is a son of Dr. Franklin F. and Mar} Caroline Gary. He attended school at Cokesbury and Union College, Schen ectady, N. Y., admitted to the practice of law at Abbeville in 1881; member of the legislature 1890-1900,1906,1910 1911; Speaker of the House 1895-1900; member of the Constitutional Conven tion from Abbeville county 1895. On January 7th, 1897 married Miss Maria Lee Evans of Florence. March 8th, 1908 was elected United States Sena tor to succeed the late Senator A. C. Latimer. Delegate at large to the Democratic National Convention in 1908. Several times appointed Special Judge by the Governor. Judge Gary has only one child. Prank B. Jr. , Chief Justice Gary. The act of the Legislature In elevating' Associ te Justice Eugene B. Gary to the Chief Justiceship, is but proper recogni tion of his able and faithful service on the bench. Abbeville Is proud of the honors conferred on him and confidently extends the assurance that the people of the State will have every reason to congratulate themselves on the choice. Judge Gary's known disposition to brush aside technicalities and do justice in his decrees has Impressed those who are in formed, and to this fact strengthened by his known knowledge of the law is due his promotion. Judge Gary was not opposed for election a fact on which the Press and Banner con gratulates him and the members of the court with whom he is serve. ? YA I Splendid Work Rural Police. Elsewhere in this issue of the papar wi II be found a report of the Rural Police of Abbeville county to the Sheriff of the county. Viewed from every standpoint the re port is most satisfactory. The fines col lected for about three months amount to more than the salary of one man and the work done for law and order In the county has been more than gratifying. Tt. is believed that the mode of apooint ment of the rural police iu Abbeville coun ty, accounts in large measure for the suc cess of their work. In Greenwood county they are appoint ed by the delegation, and It seems that at no time have they worked in harmony with the Sheriff. Here the Sheriff has a voice in the appointment, their work is di rected by him and they feel their respon sibility to him. This method of appointment and of ser vice has proven so satisfactory that other covntles would do will to adopt the plan. ' New Law Partnership. Messrs. W. P. Greene and D. H. Hill have formed a law partnership which will be effective at once. Mr. Greene by his ability and punctual ity has built up a practice that any man might well be proud of. Mr. Hill, who is to be associated with him as Junior part ner, is a young man of good mind, steady and industrious habits, and Is a careful student of the law. He was a law partner of Hon. F. B. Gary, who was elected cir cuit Judge a few days ago. The Third Degree. "The Third Degree," a splendid story now running in the Press and Banner, In all probability will be presented at the Grand Opera House on the 13th of Feb. To Appear Next Week. An interesting contribution ? subject, Abbeville and Vicinity, was left out of the Press and Banner this week for lack of space.

COOT. And Something of His Good Work for Abbeville. The Rev. Z. T. Cody, D. D., Is recognized as one of tbe leading ministers among Baptists In South Carolina and the South. Among Southern Baptists be Is held In the highest esteem; Is a trustee of the South ern Baptist Theological Seminary, of TstniciriliA Kv_ and is the anDolntitt to preach the annual sermon "before the Southern Baptist Convention in Oklahoma City next May. Among South Carolina Baptists Dr. Cody is held in highest honor, and entrusted with foremost places of responsibility., For about ten years he was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Greenville, resign in? that pastorate to aocept the editor* ship of the Baptist Courier, the denomina tional paper of South Carolina Baptists. He is president of the State Mission Board, president of the Baptist Education Com mission and a trustee of Furman Univer sity. Abbeville Baptists are Indebted to Dr. Cody for championing their cause before the brotherhood. When the pastor of Ab beville Baptist Church introduced a reso lution in the State Convention in 1910, ask ing the Home Mission Board to enter into co-operative work with South Carolina Baptists, it was Dr. Cody who ably eeo onaed the effort; when the Abbeville mat ter was brought before the 8tate Board, President Cody gave it hearty support; and, at the request of the pastor, Dr. Cody went to Atlanta with him and made a speech before the Home Boa: trongly urging the claims of South Carotina Bap tists in behalf of Abbeville. When the time came to delicate the new house of worship, as a matter of right and pride and love, Dr. Cody was invited to be pres ent and take part in the exercises; and an ail-wise Providence made it so that he had the place of peculiar honor that day.
