Correspondent From Fort Motto viii
Call Upon Candidates to Declare
Themselves on Insurance
Question.

Dear Sir:
In this emergency brought about by
the withdrawal of most Of the in
surance companies from South Caro-
liua South Carolina faces condition
even more serious THAI confronted
her people during the fall OF 1914:
when an extra session OF the legls!a-
tire was convened by Gov B!ease.
At that time We we're passing through
period of commercial depression
CLOSELY borderi,g on panic and finan-
cial ruin. as a result of the European
war but we we're not alone in the
battle which we were waging for SELL
nrotection. The nation was acting aS
unit, a-d the whole power OF the
Federal government was being
brought to bear in aid Of all the States
The extra session was wise. however
at that time, and resulted in the "s-
! tablishment of the State warehouse
system which regard as one OF tn"
most beneficial pieces of Legislation
since the W2r Between the States.
Today. South Carolina stands alone
The attorney general of the United
States has held that the power of the
National governme It can not De
brought to her assistance, against the
conspiracy which would destroy her
nroperty interests if she dare main
tain her right of sovereignty to super
wise corporations doing business with
!; in her borders.
State Warehouse Commissioner
McLaurin under date of March 5o'
addressed a letter to Governor Nan-
ming in which the situation was fully
and clearly analyzed, and in which
measures were suggested for protect
ing our people in a manner consistent
with the digcity Of the State.
Some solution must be found now.
Something will be done. Whether 1t
he in the nature of action or inactlon
the issue has been made, a,:d Soutn
Carolina will either tamely submit to
the dictates of an insurance combine,
or she will assert her rights and take
care of herself
! Her course will be shaped very soon.
Events are moving rapidly. Fire IN
surance policies are being cancelled.
Others are expiring, and can not be
renewed. Property will be unpro-
tected and at the mercy of the cor
norations which have money outstand-
ino on a great deal of it-a d most OF
this money is insurance money. If the
Stqte does nothing, it will mean sub
mission without protectio2. If she
bows to the will OF the insurance
companies, it will mean submission
with protection, but with shame.
There are several candidates for
governor already announced, aad it
is probable that the gentlemen now in
the field will be the leading candi-
dates, whoever else may enter. The
people would like to know where they
stacd upon this question. The cam
paign does not open until June. At
that time the course taken by South
Carolina will have been decided, and
it will be easy for the gubernatorial
statesmen to holler. q told you so,
or 81 would have done thus a d so.

FIRE LOSSES OVER $4,000.
House of William S. johnson Badly
Damaged-Bad Blaze in Bosworth
BIock-Two Chimney Fires.

Two Monday morning fires mere
caused damage estimated at from SIS
900 to $4,000. The first fire, for
which the alarm came in about $50,
Quilted the handsome new residence of
William S. Johnson, Church street.
This fire had just been extinguished
when another alarm was rung in for a
blaze in the Bosworth block. Elm
street. This fire. discovered shortly
after seven o'clock. ragged fierce1y for a
time and flames spurted and smoke
poured from every window. seemingly
threatening destruction to the build
ing, but the situation was well within
the control of the fire department
which had the fire out within an hour.
The business firms that suffered loss
es in the Bosworth block were Ballard
and Clark, furniture and hardware
dealers and undertakers; S. Diamond,
mems clothing and ladies' garments;
the Direct. Importing company, teas,
coffees, spices, candies, etc. All were
protected by insurance as are Bos-
worth Brothers, owners of the build
ing, which is a two-story structure.
The two serious fires were supplement
ed by two chimney fires-one on School
street, the other on Canal street, dur
ing the forenoon, giving the fire depart
ment a very busy morning.
Mr.. Johnson was alone and asleep in
his home when the fire broke out near
the heater, in the basement. He was
awakened by a choking sensation and
found smoke making it's way 10 the
upper floors. Hurriedly investigating
he found the smoke denser on the main
floor of the house and heard the crack
ling of flames. Selling a hand gren-
ade of chemicals he dashed it against
the place where the fire was beginning
| to show and attempted to make his
way to the basement, covering his face
with a wet towel so that he might
| breathe. But even with this protec-
| ton he was forced back by the density
Of the smoke. Mr.. Johnson found his
| own telephone out of order, he says
| when he attempted to send in an alarm
| by that means, so he ran to a neigh
bors., Herbert Smiths, and got a mes
sage out over the telephone there.
Loss $1,000 or $4,000.
| In fighting the fire the members Of
| the department had to cut through
partitions in a number of places, but in
spite of the prompt and effective meas.
ures taken the fire made it's way
