DEMAND FOR LOANS.
People Anxious to Borrow Insurance
Money.

Columbia, April 10.-Insurance
Commissioner McMaster is receiving
letters from persons throughout the
State who wish to borrow money from
insurance companies. In reply to
these Mr.. McMaster is sending out
letters today as follows:
Dear Sir: Answering your letter
relative to insurance companies which
will lend money in South Carolina:
You will appreciate the fact that 7
cannot, either personally or as an
official, have anything to do with in
dividual transactions. This must be
entirely between the borrowe, and the
lender All l may do is to strive TO
encourage companies to lend money
in South Carolina would impress
upon all applicants for loans shis fact
that insurance funds are most sacred
trust funds and cannot run specula-
tive risks. They must be loaned with
the clear understanding that the in
terest is to be paid regularly and
without any expense of collection, and
the principal Is to be repaid without
expenses when it is due. The colla,-
eral must not only be worth twice the
amount Of the money loaned on It.,
but must be Of such marketable na-
ture as would avoid all possible
danger of ever having to be taken by
the company making the loan. In
other words the companies do not
want property on any terms. They
want their interest and their money
back when it is due without trouble
and without expense. Otherwise they
cannot afford to loan these trust funds
at so low a rate of interest Loans
en- must be had from sources which
will demand higher rates Of interest
II have not yet been able to accom-
plish all 1 wish in this line, and later
may be able to give you fuller in
formation. Loans on both town and
farm property may possibly be had

TURKEYS BORN LEADER
IMPROVING CONDITIONS

A stirring story Of leadership comes
from that part Of Turkey which has
suffered most from the recent massa-
cres. The situation seemed perfectly
hopeless. Thousands still have to be
fed from charitable funds. and are
wearing the clothing they had on when
they fed from Gre and sword last April.
Multitudes still sleep. on the ground
with scarcely any covering. and winter
is clio. Q at hand. Nearly $4,000 have
been expended in buying tools to set
artisans at work again. but the appli-
cations are endless An American board
missionary. Rev. W. N. Chambers, has
been placed at the head of the relief
work as the successor of Major Doughty
Wylie. Writing from Adana he says AT
this moment, in the early morning, there
are about 500 men in our yard waiine
in the hope that their names may get
into the list for money for tools It is
pathetically pitiable to see able-bodied
men. formerly prosperous. break down
sobbing when told that their names
cannot appear.
The discouraeing feature was that
the local government did virtually
nothing. and the people were fast sink
ing into dispair.
At this point masterful young Tur-
kish officer. less than forty years old,
appeared on the scene and the whole
situation was CHANGED. He arrived at
Adana Thursday evening, and within
"a hours had government relief work re-
organized on radical lines. BY Monday
evening he had inaugm ated the only
effective reconstruction movement set
in motion since the terrible month of
April. He fairly 1ampled on few
strong prejudices. He organized a
relief commission of % persons, only
three of whom besides himself were
Moslems, and six of whom were for
eigners. With this commission he
made arrangements for the administra-
tion of over $500. 900 and secured it's
honest and effective handling by making
the Imperial Ottoman bank the custo-
dian of the money, with a fnan cial
committee composed of himself and two
foreigners.
All this was like a cooling, life
giving breeze from the sea to thirsty
souls on the scorching sands. Hope
revived and confidence grew apace.
With marvellous instinct this man is
gathel ing about himself men of serious
mind, both Moslems and Christians,
and uniting them in a common cause.
Mr.. Chambers says of him: He is the
first Turkish official have met in thirty
years of service in this country with
whom find it real pleasure to work.
Taking him as representative of the
Macedonian Young Turk I can easily
conceive how the revolution of a year
ago became possible. The other day he
entered his Office at 7 O'Clock in the
morning and left it at 80 in the
evening"
The Constantinople government has
given credit for 81, 800, 600. One-tbird
of this is for feeding and re-housing
the destitute. one-third for helping
small farmers in the way of a loan,
one-third for loans to business and large
farmers. As in China, after the Boxer
uprising. American missionaries have
been asked to help formulate a scheme
of national education modelled on West
ern ideas. At last a new day seems to
have dawned for Turkey.
