'TATE REALIZES LARGE PROFITS "unking Fund Commission Goin^ Forward r '.:'he State. . . The profits frori the insurance of A >ublic property by the sinking fund ommission for the year 1921 amount- ^ d to $87,274.14, an amount consul-J rably in excess of the profits for r*ny 1 revious year, according to figures by hilcolm J. Miller, secretary cf the jmmission, yesterday. "This result was made possible by he large increase in the business, . s our fire losses for the year were <; javy," Mr. IVIiller said. Due to the taking over of the in- . urance on the public school buildings f the state the volume of business ? andled has increased enormously. In * 915, for instance, the premium income was $10,916.69, while in 1921 , : was $143,344.76, an increase of 747 per cent. The assets have in reased in corresponding proportion j o the business handled, having in- . reased from $147,115.56 on Decern- ^ >er 31, 1916, to $448,724.11 on December 31, 1921. : ? The law fixes the limit of accumu-: + ation of the insurance fund at $1,- j )00.000 and when this amount is: j. r eached the commission will cease ; 5 hargmg premiums and carry all insur v -nee in effect at that time absolutely: r without cost to the insured. ; + T4. ^ t f.T -fl-iof -fKlCl I It C UlillUCII LI V UiCUltlCU uiuv j * I imit of accumulation will be reached ^ .vi hin five vears' time if the work , J V 5 allowed -to continue as at present; j and without being hampered by un-' r vise legislation, Mr. Miller said. By j mwise legislation, Mr. Miller said j hat he deemed it most unwise to ex-' mpt any county or any particular ^ lass of public school buildings from ' > 'he provisions of the law governing j he insurance of public property in . South Carolina, for if any county or." any class of buildings were exempted i. - t ina did not insure wun tne sinKing fund commission, when the limit of, accumulation was reached. thev! * r would endeavor to come in at that J Jme and participate to the extent of securing: free insurance, which would je manifestly unfair to those who had built up the fund. The commission now carries all of the insurance on all of the -buildings of the various state institutions, the counties and the public schools. South Uaronna is tne only state in tnc Union which has undertaken this work and the success that has been ; achieved has recently attracted the attention of a number of other slates and their inquiries would indicate; :hat they contemplate such a program at an early date. POSITIONS TO BE FILLED BY THE LEGISLATURE Considerable interest centers iround the election of circuit judges >y the general assem'blv, balloting for which will start next Wednesday, and which is a contest is expected in connection with the election of the first ircuit judge. No other contests in he election of judges are expected.: Judge I. W. Bowman of Orangeburg is judge of the First circuit. ":arvin M. Mann of St. Matthews, lember of the senate, is in the race , "or this judgeship, and has received1 :e endorsement of the Calhoun coun-! - i tl. r\ 1 i u_~ ! y oar. ine ^rangeuurg uar iisa t-u-i ;iorsed Judge Bowman. It is undertood the Orangeburg delegation will Jf vote for Judge Bowman's reelection. | Mr. Mann has many friends in the general assembly and he will receive I t is expected a handsome vote, i i Friends of Judge Bowman, on the other hand, predict his reelection.
