Greenville, March 22. ? A more or
lea* unexpected turn in the Sundav
blur law question came about this
morning when I>r. \S . ( . Thomason,
proprietor of Sloan's Drug store, this
city, said that he would open for
business next Sunday, allow himself
to be arrested and make a test case
of Governor Richards' interpretation
jftf the ancient Sabbath laws.
Furthermore, Dr. Thomason said,
he was considering the bringing <?f
wholesale prosecutions against those
who violate provisions of the laws
that are said to be so far reaching
that they prohibit any house work on
the Ixird's Day, such as cooking Svrr.?lay

Golf in South Carolina
j We catch ourselves wondering
sometimes why it is that golf seems
to be the special object of the wrath
of the governor of South Carolina.
Such violators of that state's newly
resurrected blue laws as have been
hurried off to jail are apparently all
golfers, and we can not help but ask
ourselves why this should be so.
Or.e reason thai has been given u?
is that they're down on golf in South
Carolina because they don't know
' i nough about it, that they err througn
[ignorance rather than tr**V,ugh malice.
! Not themselves victims f its fasciI
nations the hulk of the population,
it is alleged, look on it with a jaundiced
eye. They bear vaguely of
golf as a sport for ne'erdowells, a
i raucous game played as a sort of
.mimic warfare by rapscallion? carej
.ess both of the public weal and of
the goexl of their own souls, and when
| Governor Richards denounces golfer?
| bv implication they lend a ready eat
to his arraignment.
"Are you going to stand for a game
i ike a boiler factory disturbing the
'tranquility of our Sabbath?" ask"
! the governor in effect. "Leave them
j to me!"
If this is the altitude of South
! Carolina we think g-lf is getting a
.raw deal. know of no game les?
calculated to disturb the public peace
The gSTfer plays on his own privatelyowned
land and. save for an occasional
muttered curse, makes about a?
much noise as a grazing sheep. He
annoys no one except perchance hi;
opponent when he happens to rur
down a putt from some indecent distance
away, and in a great many
cases he is only obeying his doctor?
orders in playing the game at all.
Ha; mless to others, he is doing himself
good, and the average golfer i?
a nuisance only when off the links he
tries to tell you about it. From nc
viewpoint can the game be said to be
a detriment to either private or public
morals or an offense against religion
No people take their religion more
seriously than the Scotch, and to ask
a Scot what he thinks about golf
might open the eyes of the voters of
South Carolina.?Asheville Citizen.
* Bus Trips Delayed
The buses of the Hayes Bu* Linn
played in tough luck Sunday afte-noon.
The 3 30 bus to Camden, with
a number of paftengers aboard, had
lire trouble between Elgin and Pleasant
Hill and was marooned on the
side of the road for ?everal hours
awaiting a spare tire. The bus from
Columbia met a similar experience
near Camden arte, was likewise delayed

"Our attention has been called to a

| To the Policy Holders of the New I
| York Life Insurance Co, Jjl
iYou, the members of the New York Life Insurance
Company, owned 2,220,784 policies at the close of
isS business on December 31, 1926.
SYou are a vast community of people representing
every honest walk of life?farmers, bankers, tradesmen,
merchants, laborers, manufacturers, employers
and employees, and professional men and women?
25 young and old?all banded together in a common enjjSpj
terprise for the common good.
If you and your families could be brought together,
you would populate one of the largest cities in the
world. What a city it would be, with every family
5j striving to safeguard its own future through a single
!as co-operative institution for insurance and savings!
* A Prosperous Year.?In 1926, this Company, which
you own, wrote another chapter of progress:
[S New insurance over $900,000,000,00
1;sBs Total insurance in force over $5,750,000,000.00
; i?S Paid to members and beneficiaries
'is over $133,000,000.00
Including in dividends, over $53,000,000.00
EE You, the policy-holders, have accumulated assets of
i 25 more than $1,125,000,000.00. This money plus your
i, 3= future deposit* and compound interest will eventually
I PH provide for payment of the Company's obligations to
t 8 you and your beneficiaries.
EE We believe we are one of the companies Hon.
Charles Evans Hughes had in mind when he recently
? sa^ :
"I like to think of the spirit of life insurance, for it
1 ss is the spirit of achievement."
s [53 Nylic Is Your Investing Agent.?The fund of more
i ? than $1,125,000,000.00 is invested in accordance with
ss the strict requirements of the laws of the State of New
- ss York; and it plays a substantial Dart in the developi
-as ment of the nation's farms, homes, railroad and public
. ? works. . t
. jg| As policy-holders, you practice thrift. You invest
' [5 soundly and safely. Your money will be available to
8 you and your dependents, impressed with emergency'
ss power, at a tim* when it will be needed most.
That is what Mr. Hughes meant when he said, in
W the address to which we have just referred, that a
life insurance policy was the best guardian of the
; s purse that had ever been discovered.
: 5 Small Average Policy.?Your total insurance is im
pressive; but if you divide it by 2,220,784, the number?
of policies, you will find that the size of the average?
policy is only $2,590. ,
Of course, sofne members have more-4Jum one po&l
icy; and many of you are also insured in other coal
panies. But the great majority are underinsured, a*l
you will see. I
Gash Value of Life.?Fire insurance and life insur-l
ance protect values. The value of a worker's life hi
the cash worth of his future net earnings, usually farl
greater than the value of his property. The following!
points may help you to estimate the monetary value ofl
your life.
The United States Government fixed $10,000.00 asl
the insurable life-value of American soldiers and sail-l
ors in the Great War, mostly young unmarried men!
who had been earning small incomes or none at alb I
Recently, according to the New York Times, thel
American Statistical Association declared that thel
money value of the average American life (including I
children and adults who earn no income) is $17,p-' I
As an income-earner, the value of your life is iwh 1
greater. Consider the capital required to produce I
ccme from interest. At 5 percent it takes $24,000 t'1
yield $1,200 a year?$100 a month.
How Much Insurance is Needed??The answers to 1
the following questions will enable you to ipeasure!
your insurance needs: What is the minimuny'income J
you will require in your, old age, or if you become!
totally and permanently disabled; and what is toll
smallest annual income your family couid managS^Jflj
if you were taken away? !
Is it $500 a year, or $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000,!
or. more?
How much will it require to settle your estate?to
pay your-debts, mortgages, and taxes, including the,
federal and state inheritance taxes?
How much cash will be needed at your death, or the
death of your partner or an official of your,, company
to stabilize credit or to enable surviving partners or
stockholders to acquire the deceased associate's interest
in the business and carry oh? }
Your Program.?You probably have a program, b*
cause you are insured; but how does your progra? ;
t stand today? How far short is it of the safety marl
or the mark you arei aiming at? May we suggest thp ,
you figure it out for yourself, or call in one of oar
agents to help you work out a plan suited to
needs, 30 that you may feel secure as to your own ana
your family's future. DARWIN
