Some seem to think that the tiouhle

situation will In time adjust Itself.
* A well known lnsuranee man In this
state wives the following as his opinion
of the matter:
"The only resource left to the nveru
age pro|K?rty owner after the mini)
large fire lnsuranee eomptinles In the
Southeastern Cnderw t iters' Assocla
tloii withdraw from South Carolina,
would he In local underwriting or the

danger of this, would he that "wild

ing and ready t^ tnke any and every
risk and j>erhaps not having the capi
tal to hack It up Incase of loHs. The
|M'i*sou insuring -proiHTty could perhifps
write his Insurance through the home
offices of the larger eonipnnles In case
they accepted It It I* uiiderstiKsl,
liowever. that most of tin* larger com
panics are refusing to consider taking
a risk on* any property in this state.
"This will work a great hardship to
the jH'ople In the state. The fanner
in taking out insurance on his prop
erty would he forced to get in touch
wit If some Northern broker, who wo.uhl j
offer him a policy in sttine company
that could not send a man to investi
gate the risk unless at a prohibitive
premium, Itesult of this w<mld he that
the farmer might take out his Insur
ance In a company not on a sound
basis In case of failure to receive
reimbursement in loss by lire, he would
he powerless to sue the company hi
this state and would have to plead
his ease before the jury in the state
In which the company is located."
