WAR RISK INSURANCE. ? - .. Big Sura i? Being Paid to South Carolina Beneficiaries. Uncle Sam Is paying South Carolina families white and colored $15,635,860 in war risk Insurance claims as compensation for those soldiers who died of disease or wounds while in his military service. South Carolina families are being paid $15,635,880 in war risk insurance claims by Uncle Sam. He is making restitution as far as money will do it to those whose sons and husbands died in the service of their country during the greatest war of all times. There are 1,789 insurance claims being paid in South Carolina through the bureau o< war risk insurance to benoliciftries named at the time application for insurance was made by soldiers, sailors and marines, now dead. The average policy carried by these 1,789 men was 88,740. Disabled soldiers, as well as widows and children and dependent parents of those who have died, are being made comfortable by the government which is paying 1,167 compensation claims to I residents of South Carolina. In addition to the inaucanoc and compensation claims now being paid in South Carolina, there are 655 of i bbth these classes of claims under in * - hnmovov n rft I ve?llg*llivil. A ncoc Uioco, uunviv?| M> V rapidly being adjusted folloyrlng an investigation by bureau representatives The bureau of w?X risk .insurance which administers these affairs has been established by the government as a permanent institution in recognition of the services veterans of the world' war rendered their country. ' The Insurance which veterans are able to carry as the result of this act of an appreciative government will be a constant reminder to them of \he part they took in the war; whether it has been a matter of accomplishing a' deed of valor as performed by Sergeant Alvin Cullum York of Pall Mall, Tcnn., or that of the newest recruit who only underwent the discomforts of barrack life and was deprived of overseas service by the armistice. Records in the bureau show that this ha8/been a young man's war and a mother's war. More than <7 per cent, of the men who carried government insurance made mothers their beneficiaries. Fathers were named by approximately 16 per cent of the men. Tho average age of the men killed in France was 23 years. An examination of the records in >>? Hnrooti nf war rlslr Insurance shows that a large percentage of married men in arranging for the future protection of their families planned for insurance to he paid to their mothers, whiles their thought, in arranging their compensation benefits, was far their wives. j About 32 per cent of the men who v carried war risk insurance named their wives in making arrangements for gpmpensatlon. Mothers were named by 22 per cent., while the "wife and chtld" were named by 14 per cent. is. the natural consequence of privileges granted by the war risk Insurance act. They felt it their first duty t* provide for the immediate needs of their family, making at the same time, through application for insurance, provision for their parents In their ad vancing years. ? Albemarle, N. C., has beer In a state of turmoil during the past few days as the reuslt of ^ riot growing out of a 3trlke that has been in progress there for some time past. There arc as usual, conflicting stories as to who is responsible; but It seems that non-union men had been brought hi to take the places of the union men, and the mill gate was being picketed hv hnth hIHao At tho Wlanncpft mill on Monday shCts were exchanged between the union and non-union men the firing having been commenced. It is alleged by the non-tinlon strike breakers. Sheriff G. D. Blalock and Dee Porter, the latter a union striker, w were quite seriously wounded and others were hurt. Immediately following the riot, Governor Bickett was asked for troops and he sent several .companies from the surrounding towns. Quiet had already been restored before the arrival of the troops and there was no more disorder. The union men have made a number of concessions looking to the establishment of the open shop principle; but the trouble .has not yet been settled. Governor Bickett has not yet gone to Albemarle; but the members of the union are quite anxious for him to come. About 20 of the rioteru were brought before County Judge Ingram Wednesday afternoon and being unready for trial, they were put under oona ox $_\t>uu eacn tor their appearance in couit on September 22. at 10 o'clock. All of them except six or eight very promptly arranged bail and were released, the others having been remanded to jail. They are charged under the rebellion law with having conspired to resist the laws of the state, the charge being of such a nature as to make all aiders and abetters equally guilty with the principals. ? B. H. Lanier, a fireman in the employ of the Southern railroad and the father of .five children is under arrest in Winston-Salem, N. C., charged with attempted criminal assault upon a young white woman, the alleged assault having taken place in the ladies waiting room in the Winston-Salem station several days ago. niimiiiriiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiaiiiniiiii 1 TRY JONTEEL?TH - OF TWENTY-SIX DIFFER! = THE FACE OWDEK.
