Oil Company Not
To Ask Permit
To Build Station
The application for the erection
4>i a service station by the Pure
Oil company at the corner of
Main and Walnut streets, which
has dieted vigorous opposition
from residents of that commun-
ity, was withdrawn in a letter
read at the meeting of city coun
cil Tuesday night. A special meet
ing had been called last month
for council to consider the appli
cation, but because of some op
position at that time, council de
cided to take no action on the
request until the September meet
ing. The letter was received by
council “as information.” There
has been no indication as to whe
ther another application will be
jmade in the future.
Council was notified that im
provement to Harris and Mow
er streets were underway and

Farmers Mutual
Is Large Aid
To Newberrians
By MRS. A. H. COUNTS
Newberry County does not have
a rural fire department, but the
county is well manned by a fire
insurance company which is re
garded as one of the most effici
ent and cheapest to be found any
where.
A number of progressive farm
ers in the county met in 1894 and
organized the Farmers Mutual In
surance Association for the farm
families of v Newberry County,
making it possible for farm fami
lies with good records to have in
surance on their home, furniture
and outbuildings. During the past
62 years the company has surviv
ed fires, windstorms, several tor
nadoes, and has steadily grown
in number of insurers and volume
of business, and has acquired a
large reserve.
The company has been the sa
viour of numerous farm families,
saving many from total destruc
tion. The company was organized
when farmers had practically no
water protection and when stock
fire insurance rates were too high
for farmers.
Today there are 1,500 policy
holders with a combined insur
ance in force amounting to $5,-
606,880, with assets totaling
$118,851.81.
The entire work is carried on
by only one person who is secre
tary and treasurer, assisted by
the president and a board of di
rectors, there being one director
in each of the 12 townships.
Since its beginning the com
pany has but four presidents and
four secretary - treasurers. The
presidents have been J. L. Keitt,
R. T. C. Hunter, Dr. W. C. Brown,
and the present president, Claude
L. Lester. The secretary-treasur
ers have been Irenius I. Epting,
W- E. Elmore, R. C. Hunter,”and
C. C. Lominick.
When the company was organiz
ed no reserve was set aside but
this regulation was changed in
1936 when the company began
building a reserve during the
presidency of the late Dr. W. C.
Brown.
The growth of insurance writ
ten for the past 17 years has been
spectacular. In 1939, when R. C.
Hunter became secretary-treasur
er, the total insurance amounted
to $1,006,000. Mr. Hunter served
until Jan. 1, 1955, when C. C.
Lominick became secretary-treas
urer.
At the end of 1955 the company
had $4,934,110 in force. During
the past year a total of $710,-
492 of new insurance was written
with a cancellation loss of only
$37,722, making a gain of $672,-
770.

Oil Dealers Are
Concerned About
Hikes In Taxes
A meeting of the Newberry and
Laurens County Petroleum Indus
tries Committee will take place at
Wiseman Hotel in Newberry on
Wednesday September 19 at 8 p.
m-
Harry W. Dominick of Newber
ry, chairman of the committee said
that all oil dealers in the county
are invited to attend the meeting
and participate in the election of
officers.
A talk entitled “You Write the
Headlines” will be given by J. T.
Melton of Columbia, executive
| secretary of the South Carolina
Petroleum Industries Committee.
He will include an explanation of
how the newly enacted federal
highway program will affect
county gasoline dealers.
Mr. Dominick said: “Motorists
of this state now pay a full $1.00
in gasoline taxes on every ten gal
lon purchase. With such a.tremen
dous levy on his principal product,
the oil dealer cannot afford to
neglect developments on either the
national or the state level of gov
ernment. Taxes add almost 50
percent to the price of gasoline
and the service station owner as
well as the motorist must give
them serious consideration.
He pointed out that the seven
cent per gallon state levy places
South Carolina in the top bracket
in the nation.”-
Newberry County oil dealers
have watched with alarm as gaso
line taxes have increased in the
last six years. They feel that it is
high time to hold the line against
further tax raids on their Custo
mers—the motorists of South
Carolina, Mr. Dominick said.
Concert Sunday
The Newberry Concert Band,
under the direction of Boyd Rob
ertson, will play a concert a t
Willowbrook park Sunday, Sep
