Charleston Banker Lays Down Prop? osition Tliat Only Adjustment of Insurance Dispute is by Agreement Satisfactory to Insurance Compa? nies. The subjoined circular letter is self explanatory. It is a part of the cam? paign against the Anti-Compact law and is calculated to foster and ex? tend the confusion and panic in the public mind relative to the insurance uKuation. If the fire insurance inter? ests can enlist the active co-operation j of all the bankers, trust companies j und money lenders in the attempt to coerce the State of South Carolina and the people of the State to surren? der to the dictates of the fire insur? ance combine, the result will be a considerable hardship and loss to the public, but at the same time such widespread antagonism will be arous? ed among the people thjj all hope of an adjustment of the differences be? tween the insurance companies and the people of South Carolina may as well be abandoned. The people of South Carolina iare not going to "eat out of the hands" of the insurance combine and if forced to it, they are able to provide their own Insurance, and will do. it, either by State Insur? ance-or by mutual fire insurance as? sociations: , Bank of Charleston, N. B.' A. Charleston, 8. C, March 23, 1916. "? To the Banker? of South Carolina: Jfrear Sirs: In view of the disquiet? ing situation which confronts every* end Interested in credit in this State, ~ and 'in view of the fact that the law making body which was persuaded to bring about this unfortunate situ? ation Evidently acted under a misap iurcihenston of what was being done; In-order to bring before the citizens ?ot the State Just what is likely to happen if our present laws are not changed, it would seem that each bank officer and employe should rep erserit l;flPd*lils Directors Td the general business public To his Representatives In the Gen- \ erat "Assembly the facts that V'liJ The fire Insurance companies J have , been legislated out of the State. 2;"That' their business Is to write insurance and t\ \v cannot make mon? ey without writing insurance, con? sequently thnt they haVe \hti the State Is alone sufficient commentary and criticism ol the legislation in ques? tion. 8. That commercial and Industrial chaos is not probable, but absolutely certain to ensue within the next 12 months provided the situation is not remedied, either by legislation or by court action, or by agreement satis? factory to the insurance companies. Loans cannot be made against any property which fire can destroy, and existing loans will have to be called as insurance expires. This means that merchants will not be able to buy goods on credit. ' except whore the merchant's to? tal debts are covered by assets which fire cannot depreciate. It Is a condition and not a theory which confronts the State of South Carolina. Yours very truly, E. H. Pringle, President. School Day. I ? ; ? The seventh of April will bo a very Important date In Sumter. The chil? dren of the whole county will be as? sembled in Sumter and there will be a parade of all the pupils, city and rural. The corner stone of the girls' high school will be unveiled on that occasion, athletic contests will be held in the afternoon and altogether the day will be an interesting one for the whole county. The merchants will realize a very great demand for pur? ple cheese cloth and for white duck trousers. It Is hoped that the sup? ply will meet the demand. Married in Georgetown.
