Illlf IIIIIIIIIIHII HIHI if *Pa?metto^ The News of South Caro niiiiiiiiiitmtm s; Important Baling in Insurance Fees. Columbia, Special.-Commissioner | McMaster has received a ruling on the insurance laws from the attor ney general which will have an im mediate effect upon'all South Caro lina companies doing a general State . business before the acts passed at the last session of the general assembly. The particular act ruled upon is the one requiring South Carolina com panies doing business in more than two adjoining counties to deposit a bond of $10,000 or securities to that amount. - A diff?rence bf opinion arose between the insurance commis sioner and one or two companies which had done a general State busi ness, but which did not deposit the j bond, and took a license for only two ?counties, as to the time when they should terminate their business in other counties than those for which they took license. The attorney gen-J eral holds that under section 2, arti cle 9, of the constitution, and under) section 1S42 of the code, which gives; the general assembly power to alter, ?mend or repeal the charter of an}' corporation created und?r the laws of j this State, that the act requiring the deposit of the bond or securities foe doing business in more than two ad- f joining counties, operated as an amendment to the charters of all such companies and they must all (cease to do business in counties other | ?than those for which they have taken .license. The insurance commissioner, .therfore, will take steps to see to it. that all South Carolina companies having insurance outside the counties for which they have taken license shall bring this business to an early close.

'My business has been looted, wrecked by the hands of my enemies, ?nd but for the kincY.y and timely as sistance of friends my wife and chil dren would have been thrown into the street.

Thank God there comes a day of reckoning a day when the 'other side' may speak. The finger prints upon my throat wi!', mark the end of thugism in finance. The exultant cry of vic tory voiced by my tormentors will re-echo their own funeral dirge. Anti if by the pain cf my body thugism in finance may be blotted out I will rejoice and give thanks for the af fliction sent upon me. "I nm herc to fight, fight and keep on fighting; lo expose thugism and villainy in high places and low places, and to keep on exposing it. Every drop of blood in my body has been dedicated and consecrated to the task before rae-and that task I now enter upon with joy and gladness. "To my faithful friends I send this message. Right will conquer. 1 am not discouraged. My name will be vindicated. I am looking to the future with my eyes clear and bright. I can see over and beyond today and behold the brilcnt sunshine of the west. Over and bej'ond the wreck I can see peaceful valleys where bloom fragrant flowers and flitter from tree to ire birds or rarest plumage and sweetest song. My eyes are fixed upon the future, tomorrow, tomor row." King's arrival at police headquar ters was dramatic. He was immedi ately taken to Chief Watts' office The chief and King had been friends for years, and both expressed gratifi cation of meeting each other again, shaking hands with a firm grasp.. "I am glad to see you again, chief," said King, and the police head recip rocated the greeting. "Knowing, chief, that you have an indictment against me," quickly con tinued the financier, "I have come back to surrender myself. I got into, Boston less than fifteen minutes ago.
