Interesting Figures on Life In.

There has been much complaint
among life insurance agents generally
that the bitter warfare that has been
waging In the management of the
Equitable and the disclosures that
this contest has brought out have to o
considerable extent destroyed faith in
lie Insurance and made business much
more difficult to write. But, says the
Charleston Post, no such condition
is II fl l3cted in the Comptroller Gener-
ais comparative taoulation, just COM
pleted, OF business done by all life
companies operating in this State.
These figures ere for the year ending
December 3lst last, the figures for
the first quarter Of the present year
not having yet been tabulated.
Whether the figures for the ney quar-
ter will show any falling Off can not
ne said, but certain 1t Is that last

increase that has been manifest for
the past several decades.
