Exhibits.

The South Should Make Appropriate
Exhibits.
At meeting of Southeastern Rail-
way Land and Industrial Agents As
soclation, an organization composed Of
the heads of the Land, Industrial and
Immigration Departments of the rail-
ways south of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers, and east of the Mississippi
tSiver, held at Miami, Florida, March
6, 1903, the following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolved, That appreciating the
"great value that an exhibition of the
"products of the several States within
1.-The territory of this Association at
"the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
Ito be held at st. Louis, in l904, would
"be in inducing immigration to those
Estates, we would earnestly urge upon
1.-The people of those States the impor-
"tance Of early and active effort to Sc
"cure such exhibition by legislative
appropriation, and would suggest
"that such effort be made through
Boards of Trade and other local or
"ganizations. In this effort we pledge
"our earnest support and cooperation"
The objects of this Association, and
all the efforts of its members, being to
develop and build UP the States within
our territory by increase of population
and industrial enterprise, we especially
realize how much good can be accom-
plished in this direction by an exhibit
tion of the projects of the several
States at the st. Louis Exposition,
where il would attract the favorable
attention of hundreds of thousands of
people of the populous Northern States
from which we must hope to secure
immigration. 1t is for this reason that
we urge upon the people of the several
States within our territory, who should
be equally interested with US in our
work, the Importance of taking active
and immediate steps toward creating a
popular sentiment that will demand Of
the Legislatures of the several States
that they shall make sufficient apprO-
priation TO defray the expense of max
ing such exhibits as will reflect credit
upon the States making them. All
classes of citizens should be interested
in this movement, for it is for the ben
eft of all, and we would suggest that
action be taken through Boards of
Trade, Chamber of Commerce, City
Councils, County Commissioners,
Farmers Clubs, State and County Ag-
ricultural and Horticultural Societies,
and other organizations representing
the people. The time is short in which
to make preparation work should be-
gin Immediately and be continued un-
| til the object is achieved.

And every little while there come out

am speaking in this letter
of what I have seen and actually
know. No hearsay aboutit
"And so, by keeping ones eyes
open, it becomes clear that the Chris
tian religion is not dead, that good
people are still following their Master,
and that sometimes Catholic clergy
men are slandered and depicted as sor-
did, grasping knaves. 1t is awful and
regrettable bigotry which prompts
these unscrupulous attacks on body
of men for the most part sincere and
laborious. Men who love ease of life
are not confined to the Catholic priest
hood, nor is sincerity exclusively per-
tinent to Protestants. I have no rea-
son to defend the Catholics, not being
of their communion, and rarely enter
ing their churches; but so many good
and noble people have seen among
them in this country, SO sweet are the
Mexican women, so charming the
homes of the Catholic people of Mex
leo, that when any one attacks them l
am ready to tell the truth about them.
1t is cheap and silly weapon, this of
sIander; it is never employed by men
and women with the love Of God in
their hearts,"

INSURANCE COMPANIES
Complying with the Law - COmptrOi'
Ter General Jones Has Revolution
lied the Assessments Oh Building
and loan Companies.
Trhe State,)


Hon. A. w. Jones, the comptroller general
has received returns OF the property OF the
building and loan companies In all OF the
counties except Richand, Charleston and
Spartanburg. He is anxious for all 10 De SEM
ln so that his office may get the matter ended'
This has been one OF the most surprising ac.
lions ever taken by the tax department. but
II will no doubt result In good. tor MT. Jones
ia not at all arbitrary in his declaration .that
all property must be taxed for lts proper
value, and the attorney Penerals oihce mas
advised him that this Is property. The opin-
ion OF the attorney general was sought on
account OF the fact that. a number OF COM
psnies which had been paying taxes con-
blamed that there was discrim inatlon In the
way ip which the law was being admins
tered, The new way Of getting at these COM
panieS Will put all on Il common lootlng.
There Is another matter In which the
conptroller's office has tax en- very decided
stand recently, the matter OF requiring nre
insurance companies to put Valuatlon
clause on each OF their poliales. 10 clrcu'
lar issued recently by Mr.. Jones tnere nave
come many protests from the nre insurance
companies. But the comptol!er genera
stands by his determination to enforce the
law and the representatives OF companies
who have been sent here TO see him nave con-
ceded that the comptroller ls rlght at lhe ac
tion he has taken, and the agents OF lne cou1'
panies doing business IN this state are re
ceiving Instructions TO attach the value clause
10 all policies, and II policies have been SEM
out without the clause SO attached, these pol
icies are to be recalled and put In proper
shape.
The effect of the valuation clause Is that
the Insured and the company must nave
definite understanding as to the value OF the
property, so that In case OF Joss the policy
must be paid dollar for dollar.
In speaking OF this matter yesterday, Mr
Jones said:
"Inauiry has been several times made by
fire insurance companies 81 the ONCE OF the
comptroller general As 10 The necessity OF In
cooperating IN fire insurance policies Valua'
tion clause as required by the laws OF South
Carolina which provide that the value OF the
property insured shall be stated In the policy
and also the amount OF insurance as liked oy
the insurer and the insured. For any Viola
tion OF this chapter the comptroller genera
IS required forthwith To revoke and recall the
license or authority Of the company, or asso
ciation, or partnership, to do business IN thlt
State; and alter such revocation there shall
be no renewal OF license or authority for three
years. II also provides that upon con Victlon
OF any such violation u fine OF 500 shall be
paid.
at Is thus seen that fire insurance policies
on property In this State must contain va
uation clause, and that failure to embody
such a clause In tn policy renders the com
pany liable TO revocation OF It's license, and
pay fine"
