Insurance Rates.

Mr.. Samuel F. Colt, a representative OF the
Southeastern Tariff Association spent last
week and the week before in the city re-map-
ping.
II is feared by many that thisi is a precursor
to an increase in rates, and there is consider
able dissatisfaction in consequences.
There has been no increase in insurance
rates, SO one of the leading local agents
informs the writer since Feb. 1892, when
there was a general raise iu rates.
IL is not probable that there will be any
reduction in rates, Notwithstanding the
excellent system of water works and emc'ent
6re department that Sumter now has, as the
insurance companies claim that they lose
money at lower rates.
The only way in which insurance rates can
be reduced in Sumter seems to be for the people
to organize a home company and carry their
own risks. The scheme is feasible and can be
successful by cooperation.

of the Society of Red Men, and their blaze
1912 to 1915 in the second war of Indepen'

prolific seed they had sown, and but few Of
them lived to see the giant that has grown
from the embers of The fires of the days o.
III and 1872.
Ia 1894 a few Of the surviving veterans mel

undermining their loved order; and there in

Amid the change of time, the shock of
battle, the strides of civilization and improve

or heated by the summers sun, our cause has
