The Conference opened on Tues
day with a gloomy and rainy day.
Yesterday we had the sunshine
and the balm of the ideal South
ern climate. From the appearance
of the heavens as we go to press
this morning we very much fear
there is more bad weather ahead
for the Conference. It is too bad
for the members will be unable to
see what we have in Newberry and
may go away with a bad impress
sion of the town.
They should visit Newberry
College before they leave and we
feel sure President Cromer will be
glad to see them and will take
pleasure in showing them through
the grounds and the buildings
With only 5000 Lutherans in the
State Newberry College, a denomi'
national school, has an enrolment
of Us. If we had $4,000 members
! we would need another college.

CnLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE,.

One of the most important ques
ton to come before Conference at
this time is ,the settlement of the
agitation of the question of the re-
moyal of the Columbia Female
College, A committee has been
appointed 10 ask for bids and to
make a report through the board OF
trustees to the Conference at this
session. That report will be made
this morning and the question Will
be made q special order for twelve
O'Clock today. 1t is probable that
the report will bring forth the ,liv-
est and most interesting debate of
the session.
It is claimed that there is need OF
more buildings and more room than
is available on the present site IN
the city of Columbia. Bids tor
the location have been invited and
four propositions were submitted
to the committee and through the
committee to the board Of trustees.
Greenwood and Laurens are the
main competitors. both having
representatives here and both SUBJ
hitting propositions.
Laurens offers $4,000 IN cas-
and a choice of three sites, any one
of which the committee from Lau-
rens claims is worth $40, 1000, which
would make their offer aggregate
$4,000.
Greenwood offers $4,000 IN
subscriptions which are guaranteed
without any site.
Sumter had in an offer OF any
site in the city which the commit
tee might select but no CAST or
subscriptions.
Columbia seems to be making no
Effort TO secure the retention Of the
college in hat city. Either the
neoole think it will stay there just
so, or they are Indifferent to
whether it stays or goes.
The board has unanimously
recommended the acceptance OF
the offer of Greenwood and the
removal of the college to that city.
The question now comes square
w before the Conference on the
recommendation of the board.
What the Conference will do of
course cannot be foretold.
To an outsider it looks like bad
Indictment to move the college
from Columbia. 1t is central and
there are advantages at the capitol
Of the State which cannot be en-
loved elsewhere. Besides to 60 to
the up country would put the two
Conference schools close to each
other. |
Still we admire the pluck OF
Greenwood and Laurens and the
public spirit they display in trying
to secure this school. And we
cannot understand the Indifference
Of the business men of Columbia.

ness in this State, will be found on

attention is again called to the fact
that the insurance laws of this State
do not provide for the examination
Of companies organized in this
State, o that they shall make an
nual statements or other returns to
this department. We have no
means of ascertaining their fnan.
cha. condition Or standing. Our
laws should be so amended as
to require all companies organized
in South Carolina to furnish this
department with some evidence of
their standing and reliability.
AGENTS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Each agent or representative of
an insurance company, before So
Letting business, should be re-
CURED to apply to the comptroller
general for a license. A small
sum should be charged for this H.
cense-say, $500.
ADDITIONAL LICENSE FEES.
Under the laws of this State in
surance companies are required to
pay a tax of one-half of one per
cent. to the State treasurer of
South Carolina. l suggest that
you pass an act, requiring in
lieu of this tax of one-half
of one percent, and State, county
and school taxes. to pay the State
treasurer two per cent. on gross
premiums collected in South Caro-
lima. The change will simplify
the work of this department very
much, and save the insurance COM
panies trouble and annoyance, and
will give as much revenue as re-
ceived at present.
