' Fitz Hugh McMaster, Insurance Commissioner, is greatly appr?cia- ^ ted by the officers, stockholders and j policy holders of the first legal re- . serve Life Insurance Compauy ever organized in South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., I May 14, 1913. f Mr. T. O. Lawton, Manager, \ Southeastern Life Insurance Co., Greenville, S. C. Dear Sir: I bad occasion recently to review . in part the progress of insurance since I nave been Insurance Com missioner. I was struck with the fact that when I became Insurance Commis sioner, the Southeastern Life had total assets of about 134,000. It has now assets of abort ?380,000, practically increasing 200 per oent. in four years. When I realize that all ot these assets are invested in South Caro lina securities and that every dollar you spend for officers' salaries and expenses is spent in South Carolina, I can but real.ze the excellent work you are doing in South Carolina in keeping this money in the State which would otherwise go beyond its borders, part of it never to re turn. The people of South Caro lina should appreciate this fact. Very truly, (Signed) F. H. McMaster, Insurance Commissioner. (Note: Since the statement to Insurance department the assets have increased to 1430,000.00.) G. M. Mellichamp, Local Agent. "What's the wrangle about in PlunkvilleT? "Some of the community want to maintain mudholes and swell their private fortunes by hauling auto mobiles ont. Others want to im prove the highway, pinch 'era for speeding and apply the proceeds to public works of all kinds." Fall Legumes. There seems to be much confu sion among some of our. readers about the reseeding habits of the so-called winter legumes. .The vetch es,- bur clover and crimson clover are annuals. That is, they must come from seed each year. The vetch es and bur clover if allowed to ripen on the land will reseed it,even tho' some other crop may be growing on the land the same season after the vetch or bur clover is turned under or the seed allowed to fall on the gTouud. The vetch Beed does not seem to germinate freely until fall, while if some of the bur clover seed germinate, the free or abun dant seeding habit of the plant and the protection of the seeds in the bu/s, leave plenty of seed to re seed the land in the fall. Crimson clover seed which fall to the ground on the ripening or plowing under of the mature plants in May or early June have a grea', tendency to ger minate and get killed by the hot, dry weather of July and August, especially in the cotton belt, so that it is necessary to sow orimson clover seed in?every fall in order to obtain a good stand.-Progressive Farmer Sale Stock of Merchandise The entire stock ef goods of S.
