Just at this time of year ipost of us feel like
-sitting under the shade and letting some of the
things that need attention go undone, but pretty
soon if we were to give way to ottr feeliggA we
would regret having been so "lazy." There is
- much'fruit and vegatables that' need saving and
it means now or never, hot or coll, rain or shine.
We have on haiid a good supply of fruit jars,
fruit jar rings for Mason jars, White Crown jar
tops, rubbers, Economy jar tops, preserving
powder, pure apple vinegar and white wine pick

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.

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:

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.

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

classes have always been consideredi among the
tuoderate--even tenmperate-users of alcohol.

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
