A GOOD LETTER

The following letter from Hon.
Fitz Hugh McMaster, Insurance
Commissioner, is greatly apprecia-
ted by the officers, stockholders and
policy holders of the first legal re-
serve Life Insurance Company ever
organized in South Carolina.
Columbia, S. c.,
May IA, 1913.
Mr.. T. O. Lawton, Manager,
Southeastern Life Insurance Co.,
Greenville, S. G.
Dear Sir
had occasion recently to review
in part the progress of insurance
since ] nave been Insurance Com
missioner.
was struck with the fact that,
when ! became Insurance Commits
sioner, the Southeastern Life had
total assets of about $4,000. 1t
has now assets of abort S3s0,o0o,
practically increasing 900 per cent.
in four years.
When | realize that all OF these
assets are invested in South Caro-
lima securities and that every dollar
yon spend for officers salaries and
expenses is spent in South Carolina,
| can but realize the excellent work
you are doing in South Carolina in
keeping this money in the State
which would otherwise 30 beyond
it's borders, part of it never to re-
turn. The people of South Caro-
lima should appreciate this fact.
Very truly,
(Signed} F. Fl. McMaster,
Insurance Commissioner.
(Note: Since the statement to

have increased to s430,O00. o0.)

New Skirts.

The dress of the near future need
mot necessarily be too tight, Judging
iby Paris fashions of the moment. The
newest skirts, though not full, are
lcertainly not tight, although In the
ievening the pannier form is still
}worn, and. as the modern woman is
too vain TO have anything bunchy at
iher hips, the pannier is simply made
.Eby tightening the skirt around the
ankles.

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
IS EMBARRASSING
TO MARSHALL
NEW VICE PRESIDENT SAYS HE
FEELS LIKE BEING IN A
MONKEY CAGE.

Washington. March 5.-lIundreds of
inaugural visitors who thronged into
Vice President Marshals office to-
day so disturbed the equilibrium of the
vice presidents first day of official
duties that he determined to ask for a
new room over in the senate office
building, where he can put his feet
on the desk and smoke a cigar in
peace"
The vice presidents single office
room adjoins one of the main corri-
doris near the senate and, through
long custom, its doors remain open to
the public. Mr. Marshall, early at his
desk, found that he had to do busi-
ness in the full view of the passing
crowds, which frequently surged in
and demanded the visitors preroga-
tive of shaking hands.
II don't see that this room differs
much from a monkey cage said the
vice president during a lull in the
constant rife except that the visitors
do not offer me any peanuts
The vice president anaged to
maintain his dignity throughout the
day, but he confided to his friends
that he was determined to get a re
firing room" where he could drop his
official pose and enjoy a little privacy.
Another change that will be necos-
sary in senate accommodations to meet
the demand of the new congress Is the
providing Of a special chair for Sena
tor Ollie NJ. James of Kentucky, who
enjoys the distinction of being the
biggest man in the senate. senator
James found the nrmchairs used by
other senators crowded him too
much.'
Senator PenroSc, the other giant of
the senate, has Il special size chair,
and new one of the same dimensions
has been ordered for Senator James.

BRYAN PUZZLES
HIS HEARERS

Washington, March 6.-William
Jennings Bryan, in addressing the
assistant secretaries and heads of
the various bureaus OF the state
department today, declared:
Il am not prepared to discuss
tenure in office. My own tenure
is, as l was about to say, brief, but
my tenure has not even begun. l
am sure your tenure is, therefore,
not more uncertain than mine. |
have not had time to learn from
the president the general policy
that will be impressed on the Nari-
Gus departments but it is not neCes-
sary for us to discuss the length
of the service. 1t is sufficient at
this time to make each others ac-
quaintance and I hope that when
the time comes for me to reassem-
Bile you to introduce you to my sue
cessor l can look back on as de-
lightful associations as the retiring
secretary docs"
Mr.. Bryan,s words caused sur
prise, but he followed them with
no explanation.

WANTED TO DIE, BUT NOT
THAT WAY
John Anderson was determined
to die this morning, but preferred
suicide to murder as a route for
humping off. Because of this pref
erence he is still alive.
Policemen Fred Feddyment
and John Good were stamping
along S. Water St., cussing the
snow. "A figure streaked by, run
ming weakly, just like a H.-H.
candidate in the primaries.
Auto banditsl'' yelled Teddy
ment.
"Haltp cried Good.
The man, who was Anderson,
continued to run. He turned
north on La Sale street, the cop
pers in pursuit. There is no
bridge across the river there. An
derson dived in.
When the policemen reached
the river Anderson was feebly
beating the icy waters. 1t was
pretty cold for suicide. The po-
licemen threw Anderson a rope.
He could imagine nothing of less
consequence and went under
twice.
Policeman Feddyment then
numbered his trusty gun and
pointed it at Anderson's head.
Come out, you nut, or I'll
blow your head off, ordered the
cop.
