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

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.
