FIED BY AGREEMENT.
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:

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

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?

Is alone sufficient commentary and
criticism ol the legislation in ques?

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,
