COLUMN Life Insurance and Alcohol One of the greatest arguments for tewpetant that has ever been made is that which is giver in The Pelican for AMarch, 1915. The Pelicati b a publication of the blutual lienefit Life linsur ance company, Newark, N. ,J., and this spelial number has been scattered pretty widely in I South Carolina by Mr. M. M. Mattison of A ider son, the genieral agent of the company for this state. We are not authorized to say so. but we suppose he would be glad to sen( copies of this issue to those deslring then, proviuled his sup ply holds out. This issue of The lPeliam wias not gotteii out for the benefit of proh.,bitioi. What it has to say on the alcohol questiont is said solely in the interest of its own business and for the guid anece of its negents. lint it is of immense value to temperance simply beequse it gives the col lective experience of a large number of insur anie companies. fiefore giving some itemus fron this experl ene we will ask our friends to read this state mnent concerning the investigation. We take it from a letter sent out by Mtr. Mattison accon panying the copy of The Pelican we received: "it 1909 forty-threcof the principal life insur ance companies fin the Unite:1 States and Cani ada decided to analyze their collective expt ri cave on the variousclasses of theinsured. This Investigation was put into the hands of the Aeturla l Society of A nerica and the Association of Life Insurance Directors. Records of ap proximately 2,000,000 lives were supplied, and lese records covered a period of twenty-flve years. It required three and one-half years of continuous labor with the most up-to-date electric sorters and tabulators to secure the final result." This was the greatest investigation of the kind that was ever undertaken and the results and conclusions reached by it can be relied up on as final or as nearly final as at is possible for human judgment to beon such subjects. What this investigation revealed its to alcohol is sim ply startling. The general conclusion reached was that the whole whiskey realm was in the "danger" zone so far as life Insu rance is concerned. Those who sell whiskey and those who drink, the whole sale dealer und the retail dealer, those who drink moderately and those who drink to excess -all belong to that class which constitute a heavy risk to life insurance companies. Tihe Pelican gives two tables which register the results of this investigation as to the whis key classes. The first table is about the dealers and the second about drinkers. As to the dealers: We have the facts concern Ing seven classes of these: and concerning them at four different age periods. We can note only two of these classes, but the death rate among all of them is above the uormal and among some of them more than twice as great its the normal. liut these two classes we select are those who own and attend their saloons and those who own but who do not attend their saloons. A t the age period of lfteen-twenty-niesay,at twenty-two years of age, for this is the medium age of this period, the death rate is almost twice the normal. If the nornal is reckoned at 100, then the death rate for the first class, those wh o attend their saloons, is 201. The death rate of the other class, those who do not attend their saloons, is stIll great, r. It is 208. They have more leisure and consequently drink more and die faster. But the figures show that for a young man of twenty-two to go into the whis key business is to surrender one-half of the re maining years that tie could of normal right claim. liut take the drinkers.

Yard & co. S ys Busy" for Next Week Letter From Faraway Honolul Honolulu, ilawall Islands, June 19, 1915. Dear Mr. Editor: ,Will You please give a Pickens county boy space in your paper for a few lines from Honolulu? I've been wanting to send for your paper for a long time, but have been unable to give you my address, as I have not been settled long enough at one place. I joined the army in Spartan burg February 18 and went from there to Fort Slocum, N. Y. After a few weeks at Fort Slo cum in sonic of the coldest wea ther I have ever felt I left there March 24, in company with about 400 men. We took a boat for Jersey,where we caught aNickel Plate railroad train, and after riding for two days and nights we changed to the Lehigh road for two more days and nights. Then we caught the Santa Fe and on the first day of April we landed at Angel Island, Cal., where we could visit the exposi tion in Frisco,where Isaw many wonderful things. On the 5th of April we boarded the old Sher man for this part of the world. I shall never forget the scene when the old Sherman was leav ing the dock. The boys who had .joined at Frisco were met there by their mothers, sisters and friends; and oh? how they were crying to see the young men leaving their homes! Then the band began playing "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary.'" By this time the boat was mov ing away and it seemed as if some-of the young men's hearts would break. I staved on the top deck until I could no longer see Frisco, then I went down to the next deck, where I spent about an hour. Then, to take my last look at land for a few days, I went back to the top deck. We were then passing through what is known as the Golden Gate, which is about seven miles from Frisco. They say the water here is always rough and angry, and I know it was that day. This little rock ing and tossing bothered me very little, but just after we ate din ner, about 2 o'clock in the after. noon, the waters grew worse and worse and about 4 o'clock that af ternoon I was so sick I thou ghl I could not live. I was so sick ] couldn't eat any supper, but or the third morning the weathe: was pretty and the waters quie and I began to enjoy my trip After two more days had passe< another storm arose and every thing was sick again and al times we thought the Shermar was no more. But we got her< ~O.K. We were then quarantined or account of mumps and measles. It was then that I met up witli Mr. Gart Bolding, a well-knowni young man of Pickens and who is loyed and honored by every one here. A fter leaving the quar antine camp I met Mr. Arthur Alexander, son of Mr. J. C. (Sweet) Alexander. With these two young men I am well pleas ed and without them I would be lonesome. Mr. Editor, you will find en closed a dollar for your paper for one year. Will try to wait pa tiently for it to reach me, for I always enjoyed reading it so much. If this misses the waste basket I'll write again when I have something to write about. DE~Wirrr DAvis, 1st Inf., Schofield Barracks fact s to tive clans , hust the heavy 'riiker is niot one of these. ILfe insuarance companies do not take heavv drinkers. We will niote only two of the classes given, those who are in the habit of taking one glass of beer, or its equiva tent, a dasy and those who are accustomedi to as much as four drinks a day. lioth of these classes have always been consideredi among the tuoderate--even tenmperate-users of alcohol. A mind we have been accustomed to look on such a mnoderate use as practically innocent and per fectly safe. lint the facts go strongly the cither way. A younig mian of twenty-two who is in thet habit of taking a glass of beer n dlay will give for this privIlege four years of his life. I might he thought that he began too soon, that if lhe hadiic waited until he was, say, forty-five, lit wouldl have beeun perfectly safe In such1 a mod crate use. lint not so.
