C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. Marct- 15, 1916 BUTTER BY PARCEL POST Mrs. J. Z. Green, of Marshville, who is looking after the selling v of butter direct from producers in her section to consumers in other parts of the State by parcel post, has agreed * to come to Pageland and tell how it is profitably done if a meeting of interested Tarmers and their wives can be secured at an early date. Is there interest in the matter? THE THREE-SIDED CASE Coun was the topic of conversation throughout the county last week, and the progress of this important case was observed with the keenest interest. Most cases have just two sides. This one had three. The lawyers and the judge acknowledged that this was the first case of its kind they had ever had occasion to engage in. Fiftv-nine witnesses were examined, which was less than half the number summoned, and the evidence would fill a .volume or two. As was to have been expected, few were able to agree as to the details. The cost of this trial was well above the seven hundred mark, and the county is the looser. As we un derstand the matter, the trouble did not begin here at the trial last March, but months and years before in petty neighborhood wrangles and annoyances. How pitifully insignificant these worthless rontonlinns must an. pear when viewed in the light of the awful results! While the verdict was ligher jjB^^Bifi-we^Tpecfed, w-hope it is for the best. The jury, we be- , lieve, did what seemed best after hearing the evidence. We hope there will not be at any time in the future a renewal of the feud, but a better understanding of each other and peace and good will among all the parties concerned. THE NEW INSURANCE LAW The anti compact bill, known as me l^aney-Udom bill, which passed the legislature a short time before the close of the session was signed one day recently by Governor Manning, thus becoming a law. This law drives out the Southeastern Underwriters association from the State, and opens the doors to competition between fire insurance companies doing business in the State. T he association named above was considered a trust foi making the fir6 insurance rates in South Carolina. it is argued by some that this competition will cause rates to be lower; by others higher. Many of the companies are giving notice of withdrawal from the State. It remains to be seen yet how the new law will work. The opinion of this writer is, however, that, barring a temporary derangement of the business, the law will prove a benefit to the people. Perhaps this view was strengthened by the announcement that about a dozen fat job holders were thrown out i ? i UI Ciupiuj'iiieill IIV uie Closing1 of the oflice of the underwriters association in Columbia. Perhaps Mr. W. P. Odom deserves more credit for discredit) for the passage of this bill than any other man. An effort was made in the house to filibuster the thing to death, hut Mr. Odom, as chairman of the agri- 1 cultural committee, marshalled ' his forces and prepared to stay 1 the thing out if it lasted a week .v, 1 ?' 11 * - ~ hi nunc, mm imany aooni 6 o'clock one morning he was able to get it to a vote.
