In Savannah a day or so ago _ person in a spirit-of deviltry gave a.i ostrich a stump of a cigarette, which It promptly swallowed and in a few hours wag dead of nicotine poison ing. Surely if this ,blrd, with « di gestion which,ran master almost any substance, is killed by swallowing one cigarette stump, no stronger ar gument can be need«*d for a sane person that to smoke them is siU'ely bringing death. Why will men and especially boys do so foolishly? We cannot answer this question, but wo Tan urge them to stop so useless and dangerous a habit before they are reduced to the fatal results followin'? the prank of th» boy who gave the .(Ostrich a cigarette stump. dtlsena against loss by Are. the better it will be.

' ■i - 1 That Get-Togrether Meeting. Following the editorial in the last Issue of The Press and Standard rel ative to a get-together meeting of the editors of the coastal counties of this section of the'State, the Beau fort Chamber of Commerce has is sued an Invitation tfi the edim-s of six of the counties to meet at Beau fort Friday night of this week to dis cuss the matter and see If some plan caunot be worked out w hereby there Tan be concerted boosting done for the low- courflry. We are glad to see this prompt action taken by the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, w’hlch must' by the way, a live one and we trust every editor receiving an invitation will ibe present and ready to unite on a boosting policy so we can put lower Carolina on the map. ' w That Insurance Muddle. XTuch is being said and written Just now about an Insurance muddle recently brought about by the pas sage at the recent session of the legislature of what is called an Anti-Compact law, which in effect outlawed the Southeastern Under- writers 'association whlcli has been Axing rates for (ittihrance in South Carolina for practically every big insurance company doing business in the State. These big insuranre com panies refuse to sign an agreement not, to enter Into a compact aa to rates charged on insuranre with any other insurance company, but to write insurance for what they think are |ust and equitable rates. In oth er words the effect of the new law. would be.to ereats some competition In making rates and would possibly result in saving considerable money to those *ho insure in this State. The big Insurance companies, in high dudgeon, have risen in revolt and many of them have already withdrawn from the State and refuse to write any more insurance in South Carolina till this law’ fs v repealed. Many South Carolinians have become w * panicky and have' predicted all sorts of dire consequences to the State if this law be not jrepealed and at once. Some have gone so far as to Impor tune Governor Manning to call the legislature In extraordinary session to repeal this law. ami in effect sur- . render to the Insurance trust. ' Thl* the Governor so far has not done. Now the editor of The Press and Standard is not an insurance expert, and we do not *o*‘ the dire and awful results pictured following in the wake of this effort to lash South . Carolina Into submission Wo re- * * sent the attitude of these Insuranre companies, and we trust Governor Manning will,not call an extraordi- 1 nary session of the legislature to re peal the Anti-Compact law. but we would like to see him call the legis lature in extraordinary session » * enact a State'Insuranre law, where by the State should be empowered fo write the insurance these beg com- paaies are refusing ta write. We do not believe in aurrendering to Important Office. l-ast week’s issue of the Wal- terboro Press »and Standard con tained the annouricemenfs of three men for Coroner while no ’ other candidate's have announc ed, thcmselvev. Judging from thh tfumher, of people killed there last year we are not sur prised to learn that it Is one of that county’s most important of- ' fjees.—Jasper Herald. Those killings were last year. We aro going to show our friends a bet- tter record this year. . WISH VAN IH HKVS VISIT CKKATKS MUCH INTKRKST . \ Poplin And Serge Silk Poplin Sport Coats, -i (Continue.d From Fibst 1 Page.
