WALL ‘ LAURENS, S.C. ■■■ — I SUBSCRIBE \o THE CHRON1CL* KLa i GOING UNTIL SUCCESS RESULTED rjTTHY is it tl)at so often when you lay your plans carefully, something goes wrong? You fix everything so that you think nothing can possibly upset your calculations—and then ^ * something promptly does. But how often things work out for the best when vizstc no chance of it. Here’s an example: A few“years ago there was a clerk 1 in Ellin- wood, Kansas, a town so small that it takes an eagle to find it, whose. name was Tom Grant ; or, more formally, W. T. Grant. One summer there was a crop failure and Tom Grant was fired. In Kansas, that’s how closely farming and banking are connected. He went to Kansas City and got a job sell ing life insurance. While he was peddling insurance, |here came to him an astounding idea: he would start an insurance company himself. Talk about thinking in big terms—well, young Tom Grant did! This w r as in 1908. .' The Missouri law decreed that a life insurance company could be started by anybody who had $3,000 in his pocket; if a man, br a group of men, had that much money he would he issued a charter. There wete othtr regulations but this is the one that concerns us. So Tom Grant, late of Ellinwood, Kansas, went out and sold 500 insurance policies at $10 a throw. Now he had the money to start. He hand-picked Kansas City and chose eight prominent men as his board of directors. They were a living proof that his company meant business. So far,, so good. Then trouble came dow r n like a robot bomb. TJie company had just barely got under way when there was a railroad wreck and one of the policy holders was killed. And the amount of his insurance was $5,000—all the money, the company had! Tom Grant called his directors together to discuss the calamity that had struck. He said, “We’ve got to pay it. It’ll bankrupt us, but we’ve got to keep faith with our policy holders.” • Then he persuaded the directors to sign a note; which he took to the bank, borrowing that same amount of money. The ^ reputation ^>f these men was goqd—note that, they had a good reputation—so the bank loaned them the money, they paid the insurance policy, and continued to operate—on borrowed money. . v . , * * There w r as no other immediate death and the~£ompany soon began to flourish. He called it the Business Men’s Assurance Company of America. Today the company owns its own ten-story building in Kansas City, has branch offices in 33 states, and has 250,000 —:t>°^y holders. f So, as I’ve said above, sometimes when you make careful plans to launch an idea, and something goes wrong at the e- ginning, there is no reason for becoming discouraged. Owi- come the discouragement and good luck usually follows. c;:::: rtitr-F F.’tcr.i Symptoms of Distress Arisinc from STOMACH ULCERS ducto EXCESS ACID FreeBookTellsofHomeTreAtmentttiat Must Help or it Will Cost You Nothing Over three million bottle* of Ihe Willard Theatmknt have been told for relief of •ymptomflofdlstrcse&rliilnK from StomacH and Duodenal Ulcer* due to Excais Acid — Toor Digestion, Sour or Upset Stomach, Dasslness, Heartburn, Slftf-'sssness, etc., due to Excess Acid.

Telephone Folks really did a job in '47 In spite of the continued scarcity of mater ials and equipment and in the face of rising costs all along the line, Southern Bell went right ahead in 1947 improving and expand ing your telephone serv ice.

( j The report, by the judiciary com mittee, was favorable “with amend- , ments.^L The three chief amendments a- greed to by the committee and out lined by Chairman Harvey of Beau- ! fort, provide for separate Senate and House veto of reorganization recommendations for consideration of recommendations in whole or in i part, and for alternate recommen- I dations when consolidation or elim- mination of departments or agencies i is recommended by the reorganiza tion committee the measure would ,create. There was indication other amend ments would be offered when the~ ! senate begins actual deliberation of | the bill. } One of these. Senator'Gressett of Calh ;un said, will propose a three member reorganization commission appo.nted by the governor. As written now, the bill would i create a reorganization commission i of 7*3 members: three named by the j governor, three by the Senate, three j chairmen of the Senate finance and ! by the House and the other iour the ! judiciary committees and house ways I and means and judiciary commit- j tees. Gressette said with such a- lineup ’it was inevitable in his opinion that it would be difficult for the commis sion to agree. -A three-member com mission appointed by the governor should have little difficilTty in reach ing decisions, he added; Considerable support for this pro posal - was predicted by Gressette. T He foresaw possible prolonged de- | liberations over the "measure but: ssqd "some sort of bill” was sure_to be passed. ! In the House of Representatives publicity for .vorkmen’s compensa tion case records wus a renewed 'question. ’ it’s money against Human rights,” Rep. Welborn of Anderson said yes-] terday in opposition to a bill to make j industrial commission records of workmen’s compensation cases mat- ! ters of public recqfd. The records jnow are k pt secrelt, as requital,by.’ *"P'taVute «•' » v-A.,*'’ “Iif these reoiifrds afcB fnade public,” Welborn declared, “th*' ( ppor working man who gets hurt won’; be aole,^ get a lawyer. That’s what moneyed industry and insurers w4nt.” AuthorE qf the bill were Reps. Brawley and Rice of Greenville, and Wallace of York.
