About the Insurance Muddle. ;
It is so very easy—and one of the
weaknesses to which the flesh is heir
—to put the blame on “the other fel
low” when things wrong and try to
“cop” all the glory when it is the.
other way about. This has been the
case in the muddle that has resulted
frotp the. passage of the Laney-Odom
bill. • Nearly everybody has been
blaming either the members of the
General Assembly, who . enacted the
law, or Governor Manning, who signed
it: ~lt might be well, therefore, for
the readers of The People to give a
little consideration to the good com
mon sense views expressed in the foP
lowing extracts from a letter that
appeared in Sunday’s edition of The
State:
Are we, the people, sure that, we
are not fording ourselves >n trying’to
lay the blame for the insurance mud
dle on others and that it. should not
attach srdely to us? Had the insur
ance companies remained in the State
and gone on doing business under
conditions so bumpered we , would
have had them entirely under our
thumb, and would not every mother’s
•on of us have lieen ready to cheer the
legislature, the governor, the insur
ance commissioner and every other
person even remotely connected with
the transaction ami to swear roundly
that we know how to' keep unruly
corporations in their place? Is it not
only when the insurance companies
carry out their threat of withdrawing
which we had regarded as being a
bluff, that some of ua are ready to
condemn the legislature, others to
think it short-aighted in the governor,
•n*l others to blame the whole thing
on the insurance commissioner?
The answer is obvious. In our
greed we have overshot our mark and
touched our own personal interests.
We have poached on our owt
serves The worm we have
prodding has turned We are horn-
Ad at the aspect and wish to punish
those we employed to do the prod
ding. when the truth la ere would have
refused to elect them had they de
clined to prod at our bidding
We need this amdicine It Is a good
dose We ought to have enough of it
to make ua thoroughly sick. That
might make us ait up and take notice,
which would possibly enable ua to see
the folly of our course.
We call oursclxt-s democratic and
claim to advocate equal rights to all.
yet we are so selfish, so prejudiced,
that it would he nest to impossible to
imagine a politician being aucreaaful
in a campaign where hia platform
stood for even half way fair legisla
tion towards corporations. We find
it impossible to trust a man enough
to vote for him if he is or ever has
been employed in an official capacity
by a corporation. In order for a poli
tician to have even a remote chance
of success he has to give an ear to
the federation of lalior, an eye to
the cotton mill employes and an “all
day sucker” to the farmers. We are
not far-sighted enough to realize that
organized labor is only useful as a
balance of power, and that if it ever
outweighed capital in power the re
sult would be its own destructHHi;
that cotton mills can only pay em
ployes when they can operate at a
profit, and that the success.of farmers
depends on the public being 'able to
buy produce at fair prices.

Money Insurance
It is possible to insure almost any
thing against destruction from almost
any source. But there is one thing
that can’t be insured—rrtoney.
The only way to secure yourself
^against Toss of money is to put it
where it will be SECURE. That
place is a good, reliable bank?, like
ours. Here it will be safe and secure
from theft, fire and waste; yet it is
where you can get it quickly and con
veniently. All you need to carrY is a
bunch of blank checks—keys tp your
deposit in, our bank, but- of no value
to anyone but yourself. Isn’t that the
best insurance ?

R. M. Josry. one of Darlington ( ounty'a most substantial, reliable and
best known citizens, for years Justice of Peace in Lydia Township. Promi
nent in rhurrh circles, superintendent Mount Eton Baptist Sunday school;
cured of piles of 40 years' duration in four days.
Lamar. S. G , Fi b. 1916,
To Whom it May Concern: j
1 suffered for forty years with a severe case of piles. Many times I have
been laid up. Often I had bleeding spells. I used many kinds of lotions,
salves, suppositories and “home treatments,” which only gave me tempo
rary relief. Every physician that I consulted told me that nothing short of
an operation would ever effect a cure for me. I dreaded this and went on
suffering.
Year before last I saw an advertisement of Dr. Register’s, and having
known him from childhood I consulted him in December, 1914. He treated
me for four days and I have not* had any symptoms- of signs of the piles
since. I feel- interested in sych sufferers and this is my reason for this no
tice being in the paper. I want all such suffers to know that piles can be
cured without an operation or pain and With no bad effects duriing the treat
ment. 1 know this from experience :.ml I do not believe any one ever had
the piles worse than I did.
Since 1 have been cured by Dr. Register. Union National .Bank, Columbia,
S. G. t I have spoken to and written to several hundred sufferers from pile:'
'rmd-adyjsed them to go to him for treatment. No oHp would suspect that
there aresoTntwy^afflicted with rectal troubles unless they have suffered ami
investigated as I ha.ve.^Hmqiyjier.sonally many whom L was instrumental
in sending to Dr. Register, and it~Ts~a~pkm£ure to me to know that they got
cured. My sole motive has been for others’ gooff:—U-hayejK) financial inter
est in Dr. Register, but I have an interest in the suffering~huma,nity, and
feel amply compensated to know that I have been the means of directTfrg-
\sufferers where they cap be cured and afterwards learn, that they have been
cured without having t<) undergo harsh'and dangerous surgical procedures.
1 have this satisfaction now, and trust that many others may be cured in thin,
future through my efforts and influence. *
