LIFE INSURANCE
FOR MILL OPERATIVES
Arendel and Ninety Six fills Give Aid
to Employees. Plan was Instituted
by President McKissick.
(Greenwood Journal.)
One of the latest and most impor
tant moves on the part of the man
agement of the (rendel Mills Nos. I
and 2 and the Ninety Six Cotton
Mills, a move which in its effects
will doubtless have far-reaching re
sults, is the placing of each opera
tive on the pay roll of the IMills un
der the protection of a life insurance
. policy. This important development
affects about three hundred opera
tS'4 in Grendel stills No. .1, and
about one hundred and fifty each in
Grendel No. 2 and the Ninety Six
Cotton Mill,-a total of approximate
ly six hundred employes.
This move has been contemplated
by Mr. A. F. MeKissick, iresident and
treasurer of the above Mills, fo rsev
eral months, and is .iust another evi
dence of the cordial relations exist
ing between the moanage reni i and
those who operate the machinery in
thse enterprising Plants. It. is need
less to add, in this connection, that
Mr. McKissick is one of the pioneer
manufacturers in this State who has
instittued this plan of insuring all
of his employees, and h, together
with Mr. F. M. Burnett. Special agent
of the Southeastern Life Insurance
Company of Grcrnville, S. C., has sue
ceeded in Working out soie very in
teresting as well as practical details.
First of all, the entire premium
is paid by the .Mlilt itself. The near
relative or relatives of the insured Is
the sole benetleiary in case of death.
Each oprative receives a policy of in
surance, the atiotat 1of wiich is
based on the earning capacit y of tie
Individual. In each case the maxi
mum amount of tie policy is one
year's salary on the basis of three
hundred and t welve working (lays.
In case the insured earns one dollar
per day, his insurance amriounts to
three hundred and t welve dollars;
the maximum amount. however, ie
ing in force only after one year of
continual service in the Miii.
The insurance of all the operatives
in these .\ills went into effect on
Jan. 1st, 1917. in case of the death
of any one of the persors insured
during the first four month:: ti(e policy
is in force, the beneficliary will re
ceive one fourth of a full year's sal
ary; if death occurs during the sec
ond period of four months, the a
mount .to be paid is one hal' of the
year's salary; d'tring tihe third pe
riod of four months the amount of
benefit in case of death is Ihree
fourth of a full year's salary, arid
after the insured has been in the em
ploy of the mill for a full year the
amount of insurance carried for his
benefit by the mill atounrts to a
full salary.
This generous move on the part of
the managemnent of this group of
mills is merely Iho otctomie of an
earnest (lestire toi recogiz'e ihe loyal

BLEASE LEADER
(0F REFORMERW
Former (4overnor Will Agala tod in
the campaign of 1918, as at Candi
date for Governor.
'olunbia, Jan. 10.-Former Gov
ernor Cole L. Blease .will again lead
the Reform party in the campaign of
1918 as a candidate for governor.
After i thorough consideration of
the resolution adopted last night by
the central committee of the party,
urging him to take the fleld, he has
consented, and he so stated to The
Charleston American tonight.
"I have discussed the proposition
today," saidl Mr. lilease when asked
about the matter, "with prominent
members of our party from different
parts of the State, and as a result of
the dispatch in The Charleston Amer
ican this morning, I have received
messages fromi a large number of
members of our party who have,
through that source, learned of the
action taken by the central commit
tee. While I do not. feel that I should
care, individually, to bear the burden
of another state campaign, and while
I feel that we have others that should
be put forward as leaders, I have
coie to the conclusion that it is my
(lty to obey the dictate of the com
bined iudgmen of may party, and in
accordance therewith I will be a can
didate for governor on the reform
platform in the campaign of 1918.
"'the cominiittee that met here last
night, was empowered and lsstructed
to take such action as it, believed to
be for the best interest of the party,
an( the members of that. committee
have assured inc not only by their
resolution, hut personally, that, they
had determined, for the best interests
of the party, that I make the race
for governor.
"'T'his states lly position when takl
il in connection with the platform
which I have announced ill previous
races. I hope that. the campaign will
be free of biIterness and that it will
be eoidited on such a plan that. it
will have a tendency to promote the
best interest of all the people of our
state."--Charleston American.

ENTENTE ALLIES REPLY
TO WILSON PROPOSAL
Recite EAustro-Verman Vilmes and
Courteously Refuse Suggestions
Made by President Wilson.
Washington, Jan. 11.-The entente
reply to President Wilson's peace
note is regarded in all quarters here
as putting an early peace practically
out of the question but still leaving
an open door for the "president to
make further efforts.
The official view on first considera
tion is that it constitutes a complete
answer to the president's note.
German diplomats regarded the re
ply as even more severe than they ex
pected. They declared it evidence
that the enemies of Germany are
waging a war of conquest to crush
and dismember her. The Germanic
allies they declared, never would
agree to any such terms.
President Wilson's next move,
which now becomes the center of at
tention. will not be decided upon un
til a careful and detailed study of
the replies of both the central powers
and the entente has.been made.
Several courses are open to him.
lie ma-y inform each side of the oth
er's reply and in doing so may for
ward the documents without con
ment or with some expression to ad
vance the situation to the point of
another exchange. He may begin a
series of confidential negotiations
cither through the ambassadors here
or through the ambassadors at the
foreign capitals. Also he may base
his next step not upon the notes alone
but upon an estimate of the situation
in the belligerent countries.
Nothing will be decided without the
most deliberate and mature consid
eration and it will' not be unexpected
if the curtain of secrecy is thrown
neon the next moves.
The e'ntente statements of terms is
regarded as presenting a legitimate
opportunity for the president to take
another step if he chooses. By for
warding the replies of each set of
belligerents to the other with or with
out suggestion the president may act
without incurring exception from any
of them.
While the German diplomats de
nounced the terms laid down in the
entente reply, American officials
made no attempt to estimate their
real feeling. Naturally they expected
the entente would state the limit of
its expectations. At any rate they re
gard such an assessment. of the war
situation as a valuable stepping stone.
Whether the president still htopes to
get from the central powers a similar
statement of terms is not known.
Germany's reply, while holding to
the idea of ma conference to find a
starting point, was not regarded as
making other means impossible.
