Tho Insurance Convention.

The labors Of this Convention, as reported
In our columns, are manifestly well directed.
A considerable amount of work has been laid
out, and it is likely that the session will be
prolonged for another week. Special CON-
mittees have been appointed, whose duty it Is
TO consider and report upon the important
questions of assets and the valuation OF poll
cies, or, in other words, the actual liabilities
of companies and their available means Of
meeting them now and in the future. With q
satisfactory solution OF these points the entire
confidence of the public will be accorded to
the system, and especially 10 those COM
panies statement of whose affairs may
strictly comply with the acquisitions that will
be made.
In putting themselves in constant communi-
cation with those parties whose long expe-
rience in the insurance business entities their
opinion to much weight in tho management of
detail particularly, the assembled commits
sioners have taken wise step; and this,
combined with sense of the responsibility
which rests upon them as guardians of the
public interests, will produce results which
must prove highly satisfactory to the insur-
ing world.
The most encouraging harmony prevails in
the Convention. Each member seems aware
of the Importance Of the subjects under con-
alteration. All evlnce an earnest desire to
bring about such results as shall afford the
best possible protection to the public and at
The same time prove Of real value to every
sound company engaged in a business which
directly interests all classes in the community.

CUMULATIVE VoTINa OR MINORITY
REPRESENTATIONS newspapers and
public men OF the State seem fully com
mitted to lhis measure. It will do some
good and some harm, but We think the
good must predominant. The harm
that it will do, will be to encourage
party organization and party intensity.
The good will bo to give some repre-
aentation to tho prescribed minority Of
every County. Greenville, Spartanburg,
Oconee, Anderson, Laurens, Marion,
and perhaps some other Counties will
lose by it representation and influence,
whilst nearly all the middle and lower
Counties will gain materially. We
would like to see the experiment tried
for tho general good of the whole State.
