Cotton Mill Insurance.
For sometime there has been talk of
the organization among the cotton mill
men of the state of mutual insurance
company, the purpose being to provide
| insurance among the companies
against any loss that may be incurred.
In this state 60 per cent. valuation on
the cotton mill property amounts to
very nearly eighteen millions Of dol
lars, and the property is divided among
twenty-eight counties. 1t is thus seen
that a properly managed company,
| with the different mills as members,
will necessarily save money to each.
The application for a charter for the
company was made last Wednesday to
the secretary of state, being signed by
the leading men Of the principal mills.
In this it is stated that the business
office will be in Greenville and the
name of the association is to be THE
Southern Manufacturers Mutual In
surance Company Of South Carolina" :"
