FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1919. VALUABLE FEATURE OF GOVERNMENT INSURANCE. Your Government insurance is protected from the claims of creditors. Your insurance money can not tie taken away from you (or later from your beneficiary) for the payment of your debts or those of your beneficiary. This is a most important provision, which insures your insurance. Government insurance is non-assignable, which means that neither you nor your beneficiary can lose. In connection with this converted insurance the Bureau asks the right \SO to frame the policy forms that if the insured desires to have his conJ -? ??/> no!') in nno cnm Vtp verveu luauianwc paiu *** ? may so elect; and if he wishes his beneficiaries to receive the installments within, say, three years rather than over a period of twenty, he may also so elect. It also asks the privilege so to draft the converted policies that a man may designate his beneficiary who will- receive all the payments. Thus, if a man wants his wife as a beneficiary and does not want the "* installment payments after her death to go to a ^ister or a brother, the policy will provide that installments will be paid to the wife and on hf.r death the remaining installments to her estate. During the war, if a soldier tuok out an insurance policy and v;as lulled ami did not leave any beneficiary who could take the insurance monev. the tiolicv reverted to the Government. Also conditions have entirely changed, due to the cessation of active warfare, the Bureau asks that this forfeiture be eliminated fiom the act so that in ik ease will the Government forfeit an insurance claim. The bill introduced by Mr. Rayburn, of Texas, and those of otner . members widening the provisions fci payment of disabled /sold'.ers, have the indorsement of the Bureau. By these bills a man totally permanently disabled will receivo $100 in stead of $30, as at present ($?.0O being paid now only in specified eases), and a man with one leg off wil' receive a percentage of $10") rather than a percentage of $30, as at present. The amounts payable if he is temporarily totally disabled are cons' J -ably increased by ;hes'j bills r.nd are deemed more nearly to fit present-day conditions, taking into account the present high cost of living. Provision is made in a bill introduced by Mr. Sweet to pay $200 In case of double total permanent disability. There is only one known case of this kind in the country, the man having lost both eyes and both arms. If this becomes an act he would therefore receive $200 from the compensation feature of the act I and $57.50 from the insurance feature. * ?????^???? MOTHERS-IN-LAW CAUSE 3 MEN TO SERVE TIME "Abbeville county has a record that no other county in the state can equal" said W. A. Stevenson, county supervisor Tuesday morning, "and /that is that we have three negroes on the gang who were put there for the k'lling of their motner-in-!?w." According to Mr. Stevenson this is a record that may not be equalled in any part of the south and perhaps not in the entire nation. The three j r:?? ners who were sen l* for the killing of their mother-in-law are Jim , DuBose, Robert Wilson and Pleas Bibbs. Mr. Stevenson, who has been coun\ ty supervisor of Abbeville for twelve J years, is in the city for the Old Hick-1 ory reunion and expressed himself as being pleased with the first annual meeting of the veterans of the Old Hickory division.?Greenville Piedmont. NOTE:?Pleas Bibbs did not kill his mother-in-law. Mr. Stevenson is in error as to him. He kiiied a negro man. The sentence of Bibhs was recently commuted from life imprison ment to fifteen years.?Ed. THIRTIETH ELECTS SPRINGS PRESIDENT Greenville,' Sept. 30.?With the selection of Asheville, N. C., as the plaCe for the holding of the 1920 reunion and the transaction of a number of other business matters of importance, the first annual reunion of the "Old Hickory" (Thirtieth) division session came to a close here today. Col. Holmes B. Springs, formerly of Georgetown, but now of Greenville, was elected president of the association; Regimental Sergeant Major M. M. Frost, of Tennessee, first vice president; Sergeant John L. Williams, of North Carolina, second vice president; Sergeant Eugene M. Milford, of Anderson, third vice president; Frank P. Bowen, of Tennessee, secretary and treasurer; Lieut. John McSween, Jr., of Timmonsville, chaplain ; Harry H. Frear, master at arms and Capt. A. L. Fletcher, historian. Address by O'Ryan. At the session this morning addresses were made by Gen. John F. O'Ryan, of New York, commander of the Twenty-seventh division; Col. Albert L. Cox, of North Carolina; Brig. Gen. S. L. Fayson and Sergeant Robert A. Fulton. The meeting was presided over by Brig. Gen. L. D. Tyson.

The crosse; were Tinned on the two recipients by Maior Gen. Edward M. Lewis, who commanded the Thirtieth division. At the business session following the speechmaking officers were .elected *rd the meeting place for next vear selected. Ashevill? na-l a In^e do.'t gation and maio a vigonus tf-t fcrr for the next reunion, an.l the sviiHment was almost unanimously in ffc\oi of that city. A bid was put in behalf of Knoxville, but in view of the strong sentiment for Asheville it was not pressed. Want* League of Nation*. A number of resolutions were adopted. Among t{ie most important was one declaring it to be .the sense of the association that the treaty of peace with Germany and the league of nations covenant should be immediately ratified without amendment or reservation and directing that a copy of the resolution be sent to President Wilson, to the president of ^he Senate and the Senators of North and South Carolina and Tennessee. Under the terms of another resolution the name of the organization was slightly changed. The name will hereafter be "Old Hickory Association, Thirtieth Division, A. E. F." A resolution of tribute to those members of the division who fell in action was adopted: another urging the prosecution of good roads projects; another expressing gratitude to French and British officers who worked with the division, for their splendid coperation; and another favoring the granting of an additional bonus to disabled soldiers, but not to soldiers who were not disabled. A resolution of thanks to Greenville for the entertainment given the men was adopted by a rising vote. Officers and men alike declare that the first reunion of "Old Hickory"! has been an unqualified success.
