INSURANCE DRIVE
FOR EX-SERVICE MEN
r>
The United States Veterans' Bu- ?
: e
reau has designated the week of1
April 10-17 as Insurance Week. The d
i
object of the Bureau is to induce all w
I
ex-service men to reinstate their gov- j ^
ernment insurance. A great many of i
- I ^
the ex-service men have not kept up
thfir insurance since the war. Those w
I
having the matter in charge believe C1
this government insurance to be a'
vaiuauie iu mac cA-oti?
and it is hoped that by the designa-' a
i
tion of an Insurance Week during T
which time the drive will 'be made to ^
I ^
see all ex-service men who have drop-'
ir
ped their insurance; that most if not ^
all of those who have done so, may
be induced to reinstate their insur- J p
ance.
All ex-service men without disa-:
bilities may reinstate their policies
by paying three months premiums,:
1 * i. n
one premium to cover arrears, one to
cover present due premium and one j
premium in advance!
Men with hazard disabilities mayj _
reinstate their policies by paying all;
laDsed Dremiums and five ner cent, i
interest thereon, to be compounded |
annually. Any ex-service man may be
examined free of cost by the salaried |
physician of the United States Veter-j
ans* Bureau.
The amount of insurance for which I
reinstatement may be had must be
not less than $1,000 and not more}
than the amount originally granted j
the insured. ,
There are six kinds of convertible
insurance issued by the government
as follows;
(1) Ordinary life policy.
(Z) Twenty payment life policy.
(3) Thirty payment life policy.
(4) Twenty payment endowment
policy.
(5) Thirty payment endowment
policy.
(6) Endowment policy at 62 c<
years of age. | oj
Further information may be had T
by writing the Sub-District Manager
S. C. Groeschel, 907 Loan and Ex
change Bank Building, Columbia, S.
C., Care of the U. S. Veterans' "Bu
reau.
Mr. James A. Broom, Plac. Assist
ant's Office, was in Abbeville yes
terday looking after this matter. He
may be reached at the same address,
and will be glad to give any ex-ser
vice man needed information about
the matter of his insurance.
No relief which the government
could give the ex-service men would
be comparable to the matter of their
insurance, and it is a matter of re
gret that so many of them, from one
cause or another, have allowed their
policies to lapse. It is to be hoped
that every ex-service man in Abbe
ville County will take advantage of
the opportunity now offered lo have sj
his policy reinstated in one of the!^
forms proposed by the government, j jr

efforts are being made by friends of|e<
Mr. H. B. Humbert, former county I
supervisor, to have him offer for the'C
place again this summer. Mr. Hum-}
be-rt is now engineer of the Abbeville

stated that Mr. Humbert has ^ot flal-jG

that he is not yet willing to allow rr

Truck crops have been seriously

STATE MAY LOSE
MANY THOUSANDS
Automobile License Laws Are Not
Being: Enforced Highway Of
ficials Think.
Columbia, April 6.?South Caro
lina may lose something over $150,
000 because the legislature did not
provide for the enforcement of the 1
motor vehicle license laws of the
state, according to figures compiled
yesterday by highway department of
ficials for the close of business on the
first quarter of the year.
This big loss is now staring the 1
department in the face, and unless
some action is taken by the counties,
there will hardly be a chance to get
the money. The loss comes about
from the decrease in motor vehicle
registrations.
To date, including figures for the
close of March, only 67,521 automo
biles hare been registered and this is 1
a decrease of 15,842 automobiles
- * * 1 4. TUa 4.:^^ r
mune lruni iadi ytzai* aiic tunc jlui
registering machines ended February
1 and the highway department be
lieves these 15,842 automobiles are
"somewhere in South Carolina" with
out license plates. The average cost
for a license for a car is $7.50 and
this gives a loss of $118,815 because
of the failure to have inspectors to
enforce the law.
A total of 5,713 trucks have been
registered so far and this gives a de
crease of 1,484 from last year. The
average for a truck license is $17
and this means a loss of $25,228.
Only 23 trailers havt been regis
tered to date, this being a decrease
of 36 from last year. Trailer licenses
are sold for $12 and this brings a
$432 loss.
So far only 375 motorcycles have <
been licensed, which is a loss of 385
from last year and at $3 each, a
monetary loss of $1,555.
Dealers have dropped in number
also, only 416 being registered so
far. This is a loss of $6,204.90.
This gives a total of $151,834.90.
that the state stands to lose this :
year, according to highway officials, I
who are not very well pleased with |
this prospect now^ facing them. A j
strong effort to get the counties to
enforce the license laws and thereby!
Ejet the money is being made and j
this may have a good result, al
hViniicVi nothing definite has as vet
been accomplished except in one or
two counties. Last year two inspec
tors were ^maintained and theyj
brought in thousands of dollars that
would very likely have otherwise
been lost. The salary was $1,800
Bach. No money was provided by the
legislature to employ inspectors this
/ear.
Total receipts to date from the
sale of motor vehicle licenses have
reached $613,361.76. This includes ,
Dostage. ,
IT'S FIFTY-FIFTY
New York, April 6.?Recognition
>f the changed status of women by

iliminating the compulsory giving in 1
narriage was proposed by the com- J
nission on revision of the Book of 1
Common Prayer, in a report made

Gaining equal rights with men in
heir marriage vows, however, the ,
vomen would lose a special privilege (
iow accorded them. For the propos- j
tl to change the ceremony also pro

>roposing more than 250 alterations
?nd the'inclusion of seven entirely!
lew offices, or forms of worship, will

ier the constitution of the church,1

DESTROYED BY FIRE'
Blaze of Incendiary Origin, it Is Be
lieved?Owned i>y Senator
Chriatenten.
Beaufort, April 6.?The plant of
the Beaufort Gazette, owned by Sen
ator Neils Christensen, was totally
destroyed by fire early this morning.
The blaze was discovered about mid
night and the fire gained such head
way until practically all efforts of
the fire department and marines from
Parris Island were exerted towards
saving adjoining buildings. It is be
lieved that the fire was of incendi
ary origin, as a blaze was discovered
in the store of Kinghorn Brothers'
uompany earner in vue mgnu a.ma
was quickly extinguished.
The loss is estimated at about $20,
000, with little insurance.
Senator Christensen is not in the
city. ;
The Beaufort Gazette is the only
paper published in Beaufort County.
It is understood th^t immediate ar
rangements will be made for erect
ing another building and for the
regular issuing of the paper.
VEGETABLE NOTES
Tomato plants may now be trans
planted in Eastern District in open
ground. In the Pee Dee and Pied
mont Districts and similar latitudes
we find April 10th and 15th as early
as advisable.
.""Tomato seed may also be planted
in open ground either In a bed or
directly in the field where plants are
intended to grow.
Snap Beans?Plant "1,000 to
One" and the Stringiess Green Pod
because of their superior eating
qualities. Drill in the seed instead of
dropping in hills as this gives more
room to each individual plant. Where ^
Of
you much cultivate largely with a
hoe there is some advantage in drop
ping in hills about a foot apart or
wide enough to let tho hoe go be
tween. Be sure to fertilize these
early beans well if you want a good
crop.
Butter Beans?'Plant these as
soon as the ground is warm and
danger of frost is past, about the
same time you plant cotton.
Cabbage?Try a patch of cabbage
at his time^ planting the seed in the
field right where you intend them to
grow. The All-Season and Succession
varieties are the beet. These cab
bages will head in July, after the
early, crop is off. The main trouble
you may have with them is the
green worm, but if you keep them
givwiiig iapiuiji| juu van ittcji auwu
of the worms by dusting with lime
and arsenate of lead 8 to 1.
Tomato Blight or Wilt?This fun
gus disease is very common. Now
the only real remedy or preventative
is to plant your tomatoes on land
that is not affected with $he fungus.
Do not plant tomatoes on land that
has had either tomatoes, Irish pota
toes or watermelons grown^ on it,
for at least four years. Use lime

plants. Also be sure the land is well
drained.

Twenty-eight out of 35 bright and
dark tobacco markets in Virginia

This meeting of the warehouse
men and directors of the marketing
association was attended by a large

spirit of fair play and cooperation
emphasized in a statement, by Aaron
Sapiro, attorney for the tobacco
growers' cooperative- association who
said: "We do not want any ware
houseman to sign any contract unless
he sees it is fair." Sapiro, who is al

was drawn up with the intention of
giving absolute fairness to both far

PROPHECY OF 1886
MADE BY BISMARCK
storic Document- Has Just Been V
Made Available To The
Associated Press
.Barlin, Apr. 4.?A prophecy bear
? on Germany's present situation | si
is made by Bismarck in a letter, b
:herto unpublished, addressed to
e Prussian minister of war, Geri
al BTonsart von Schellendorf, and
ted December 24, 1886. The his
ric document has just been made
ailable to The Associated Press.
"If God wills that we shall 'be de
ated in the next war, then there
n be no doubt that our victorious
ponents will halt at no expedient
prevent us from getting on oqr
et again? at least not for a gel
ation?just as they did in 1807,"
e Iren Chancellor wrote.
He warned his ministers that Gear- ^
my would be called upon to de- a
nd both her eastern and western
ontiers in the "next war" as the
w alignment of European powers
ecluded the probability of G^r
my being able to count on Russian
d English assistance, as was the
Se in 1814,'When in addition to the
pport of those nations, Germany
und an unexpected ally in the
issian winter which destroyed
ipoleon's army. The letter added:
"The present German empire
)uld not remain intact after a lost
mpaign, as witness the Reichstag
?ction and partisan acerbities
lich prove how readily patriotism
forgotten when party interests
id out it is desirably to court favor
road.
"A victorious Trance would find
r opposition parties equally as Eer
ie as did Napoleon and Rhenish
igue in his day."
