RAY AND FAIR IN A NEW FOX PLAY Love is the greatest thing in the world and in the new William Fox photoplay, "Love is Love," which * will open an engagement at the opera house next Wednesday, September 10th, those two delightful young stars, Albert Ray and Elinor Fair, purpose to prove the wonderful uplifting power of this constructive Jforce. If advance reports of the story hold true, the picture will be well worth a trip to Manager Wells' opera bouse. Ray and Fair have already made an enviable place for themselves among motion picture theatre goers here and the new picture gives every lindication of winning greater favor :for them. f Mr*..

LOCAL SOLDIERS * DROP INSURANCE Approximately Thirty-three Per Cent Keep Up Payments.?Deaths in 1918 Above Normal. The State, 3rd. Men of Richland and Lexington , counties, until recently in the service of the United States army and navy, ( i are displaying considerable indiffer-; ! ence with regard to their war insur- ; : ance, according to advices received ! by the war camo community service. I A short time ago, the W. C. C. S. j ; sent out post cards to men in these two counties to ascertain whether or i j not they were keeping up the pay-1 iments on the war insurance and the replies indicate that approximately only 33 per cent, are making the pay- ' !ments regularly. Out of 247 replies 'which have recently come in, only-82 are maintaining their policies. The j others are permitting their policies to lapse through non-payment of pre-! ! miums. All the cards sent out are . i wot yet in, but the percentage will! I hardly be changed by replies yet to ' i be received. j "There is no good reason for al-' , lowing this war insurance to lapse/' l said J. D. Neal of the war camp <?om- j j munity service yesterday. "I realize ; I that some of the men are not able to ' maintain their policies as they found i it difficult to get settled after leavj ing the service. Many simply negi lected the matter and others do not ' seem to appreciate the value of the i paper. It is to be regretted that so j many are dropping their insurance." Insurance Per Capita. | The per capita insurance in the ! State of South Carolina is approximately $147 according to figures i compiled yesterday by W. A. Mc j Swain, State insurance commissioner. I The total amount of insurance in force at the present time in the State : lis $367,950,773, the life insurance; i companies carrying $288,457,579 and the fraternal orders $79,493,194. j The loss incurred during the year 1918 by the life insurance companj ies totaled $4,055,733 while the fraternal companies had losses of $1,I 096,740. The losses paid during 1918 j by the insurance companies was $3,609,874 and by the fraternal orders $671,083. Since the close of 1918 it j I 111 11 A f X 1 _ 1 is prooaoie mat many 01 xne losses have been adjusted, the report covering the period closing December 31, 1918. ! Mr. McSwain said that the per, capita insurance in South Carolina is slightly below the average for the j United States, the large negro popu; lation probably accounting for the fact. High Death Rate. The death rate in 1918 was obnormally high over the country on x - * xl 2 _ _ " J account 01 ine mnuenza epidemic. The Insurance Press in commenting upon the death rate in 1918 says: "The rate of mortality the -life in surance companies had to meet in 1918 was about 32 per cent greater than the average death rate for a score of years. This great advance was due mainly to the influenza epidemic, the averages "by which contin- j ued during several months of the current. year. Thirty-eight life mPiivnvtnA A/\ Ati nArNA^f f A tU A ouiautc wuipa-ui^o wv/ tuc New York insurance department were called upon to pay for death claims and endowments about $93,-1 000,000 more than in 1917. The increase in death losses paid by legal j reserve companies was aboui $123,-i 000,000 in the United States and Canada?mainly due to the influenza, on. lives under age of 50. To. meet the exceptional mortality the j surplus funds of legal reserve com-! panies as they stood at the end of j 191* were depleted more than $37.- i 000,000. Normally the increase of , surplus should have been about $40,- j 000,000, indicating a direct draft on! surplus of about $77,000,000, owing j to the abnormal mortality. Fratern- j al orders having limited surpluses and small reserves suffered very se verely." I CUT IN PRODUCTION j MEANS HIGH PRICES I Gross Profiteering Charge to Wool and Shoe Industries as Result j of Curtailment. Washington, Aug. 30.?High costs of living, which the government now is seeking to combat, are due pri- ? marily to the curtailment in the pro-! duction of nearly all commodities, hoarding, profiteering and inflation of currency, the council of national defense said in an exhaustive report" sent to congress. j The report was made public today through Secretary Bakers, chairman 3 of th-s council. 1 Suggestions of the council for meeting the situation include stimu- i n 1 * p C. lation 01 prouuciion. repression or ; hoarding and profit coving, improve- J ments in the methods of'distribution 1 and marketing and the dissemination of more exact news cc :.cernir.-- prob Gross profittering in the wool and shoe industries throug conscious curtailment of production was alleged in the report: The shortage of housing accommodations was attributed to a shortage in building material caused by uncertain conditions, and. to labor disputes and the report said ? 1*1 11XA_ the shortage proDaDiy vvouia "continue for some time to come." A national standard of living higher than that existing during the war or before can be maintained, the report said, if production is placed on an efficiency basis. The distinction between apparent prosperity, which is expressed in terms of dollars, and real prosperity which is expressed in terms of pro duction was macle clear. The nign cost of food was ascribed, not to a shortage, since on the whole the nation is producing more than in prewar days, but to the abundance of circulating medium. Relief of the food situation was predicted. COTTON CROP CONDITION AUGUST 25 61.4 PER CENT % South Carolina is 67 Per Cent of Normal Crop?Estimate for Entire Crop is 11,230,000 Bales. Washington, Sept. 2.?A cotton crop of 11,2^0,000 bales this year was forecast today by the department of agriculture which based its estimate on the condition of th^ crop August 25, which it announced as 61.4 per cent of a normal. The condition of the crop by states on Auggust 25 was: Virginia 67, North (Carolina 70, South Carolina 67, Georgia 55, Florida 38, Alabama 55, Mississippi 61, Louisiana 47, Texas 61, Arkansas 65, Tennes nr\ it: : r: n 1 see OZ7, iuis&uun 10, wMciuuina < x, California 98, Arizona 90. Increase and Decline. Washington, Sept. 2.?An increase during August of 214,000 bales in the prospective cotton crop this year was shown in today's cotton report of the department of agriculture which forecast a total of 11,230,000 bales. The condition of the crop, 61.4 per cent of a normal, showed a decline during the last ten years of 7.7 points. Boll Weevils, boll worms, army t spider combined with almost continuous rains over considerable areas cf the belt with dry, hot weather following the heavy rains, caused the deterioration of the crop. In Virginia, Georgia and Florida, the decline was heaviest, being,'43 points in Virginia and 12 in Georgia and Florida. In Alabama it was 9 points and in North Carolina and Texas six points. Sea Island cotton in G.crgia and Florida p-actically has ' ?^n destroyed by boil weevils which are now damaging the crop in South Carolina, having appeared on th'e islands of ii . _ . _j_ ine coast. In Mississippi and Alabama where the crop is short because of the boll j weevil most of it will be harvested by October 1. Outside the weevil in-1 fested areas the crop continues two weeks or more late. Last month the crop was forecast at 11,016 000 bales with the condition 67.1 per cent of a normal while the July report forecast a production of 10 896 000 bales with the condition 70.0. Last year's crop was 12040 532 bales and the condition on Ano-nct 9S was =?5 7- The averaere condition on August 25 during: the last ten years is 67.8. KILL EACH OTHER ON PUBLIC ROAD Two Negroes Meet and Shoot, it is ! Supposed, Near Starr. I The State. Anderson, Sept. 2.?A case like the Kilkenny cats happened near Starr- iVfnndnv afternoon when i Charles Rice and Moot Sanders, two negroes, killed each other. There were no witnesses, but the weapons were found, a pistol and a shotgun. Both negroes were in buggies when they met, and whether they fired at the same time or whether one was i not seriously hurt at first will never; be known. A singular coincident was ! that both men stayed in their buggies after being shot to death, one being i carried to a neighbor's house t>y nis ; mule and the other getting very ftear j his own home when he fell from the j bujfgy. Sanders had two wounds j from a 38 calibre revolver, one in j the leg and one in the breast, and i Rice was shot in the legs by thugs ' and shot. It is supposed that he bled j to death. j ~TW~ Military authorities at Laredo, ! sew Mexico, have demanded the reease of Private Clcctine Flores, rhirty-seventh infantry who was ar'ested in Xueve Laredo, Mexico, Sunday on a charge of beinjr a 1'>: Diaz conspirator.
