State Insurance Commissioner Nc
Master will have an opponent from
Clarendon in the person OF Ellison
Capers O: Summerton, who will make
the contest for the position interesting.
already there are assurances from all
over the State favorable TO Mr. Capers.
and bv the time the general assembly
corvenes it would not surprise US II he
wins. Mr.. Capers has made insurance a
study, and if elected he will introduce
some reforms which will appeal to the
business men of the country as sound
and practical without driving a single
reputable company from the State.
Clarendon has NOT had a State officer
since the lamented Tindal, and it is
about time for this section to receive
consideration, if Mr. Capers is chosen
we feel assured be will make an officer
the whole State will feel proud OF. and
one who will bring his Office up to q
high state of efficiency.
