THE LICENSE REVOKED.

Insurance Commissioner McNlaster
Takes Action Against . Mutual
Company.
Columbia, July 14.-Insurance Com
missioner AcMaster has revoked the
license Of the Piedmont Mutual
Fire Insurance company Of Spartan
burg.
In letter Of some length to the
president Of the company he gave in
detail his reasons for such action.
Concisely put, they are:
That the company is mutual in name
only, and that 1t is managed and con-
trolled practically by A. M. Alexan-
der. the president. who is under no
bond and whose actions are under
the supervision and control Of neither
the directors nor the policyholders;
that the directors have never had a
meeting since it's organization, 50 far
as the records show; that the books OF
the company are wholly inadequate
and unbusinesslike; that he finds that
Mr.. Alexander, according to his own
statement, in order to protect the
funds of the company from attach
ment by judgment Of creditors, has
deposited the funds Of the company
In his own name. which the commits
sioner thinks is unwise and unwar-
ranted; sthat regardless of the fact
that the company Is licensed to do
business In the counties Of Spartan
burg and Union only. it has renewed
policies outside Of those counties or
revived old policies in amounts diff
ferent from the original. in violation
OF law.
The commissioner says that he has
serious doubts as to the solvency of
the company and from the manner Of
books that have been kept he does
not believe that the solvency can be
determined without a complete reor-
ganizatiOn. Because Of the alleged
general irregularities the commission
er does not feel that the policyholders
are given proper protection and hs
revokes the license.

control Of the party. But it was
argued, with no little FEASIBILITY, at
least. that the hard times could MT
well be made effective in favor Of a
candidate who represented even more
radical policies and a more radica |
spirit than those which were charged
with producing business and industrial
depression.
On this ground the Democratic re-
actonaries, commonly and sweetIy
called traitors by the Bryan men, ar
gued against Mr.. Bryan's nomination,
ond' as we have said, hoped vainly
TIL the crack Of doom at Denver that
some man acceptable to the entire
party might be nominated on a plat.
form that would heal all factional dis
make the most Of Republican mis-.
sensions and enable the party to
takes and dissensions and OF bad
business conditions and thus once
more come into control OF the gov
ernment But the gods, or the tenn
porary gods, Of the Democratic party
have spoken in convention at Denver
assembled, have cast these warning
counsels to the wild winds of the wild
prairies, and have nominated Mr..
Bryan in an apparent frenzy Of en-.
thusiasm. The Bryan Democrats have
thus answered with scorn and deris-
ion the doubling Thomases" of De.
mocracy. and, buoyed up by sublime
and almost incredible faith, are pre-.
pairing to Sweep" the country from
California to Maryland, and from
Maine to Texas.
The question is, Will the country
allow itself to be swept? Will faith
accomplish miracles in politics? Is
Mr.. Bryan as strong with the voters
OF the country as he is with the Dem
yer convention? He has shown what
he can do with his party; it now re-
mains with the country to show what
1t will do with Mr.. Bryan.
The Republican and Democratic con.
ventions have said the first words OF
the campaign. and those words are
Taft and Bryan. 1t Is for the $4,000.
600 voters OF the United States to say
the last and deciding word next No
vember. Will that word be Taft or
will 1t be Bryan?-Baltimore Sun.
