these that have come under the notice
Of the department are:

censed companies. 90 cents. South
eastern Underwriters Association
rate. $s.7S; unlicensed companies.
$3.50. Southeastern Underwriters

unlicensed companies. $500: South
eastesa Underwriters Association
rate. $1.1o; unlicensed companies, go
cents. Southeastern rate. 60 cents;
unlicensed companies. 80 cents
The instances might be multiplied.
The variations are too great to be
founded on good reason. There is
something radically wrong In rates or
classifcations or practices or meth
DDS. and. as the laws now stand, the
rates. the classifications. the practices
and tbs methods are entirely in the
keeping Of the companies.
1t is all Leside the mark to say
that reduction in fire losses will solve
the matter. That has nothing to do
with the case. Fire losses fall on the
Factory Insurance Association, the
factory mutuals. tho domestic mu.
tuals. the unlicensed companies as
we'll as the Southeastern Underwriters
Association.
This is the case the department
makes up.
Thsrs are several methods of SO.
luton. One Is TN enlargement Of the
sphsee of the mutuais and thereby the
bringing about forcing Of rates b,
classes to natural costs with low &C.
duisition and management costs.
Another frequently tried by with
doubtful success is tho forbidding OF
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1916-03-22


Two other ordinances, adopted at
tho same time, are of special interest
to the public. These ordinances re-
Z 70 to interference with the fire de-
partment at fires. Citizens. especial
~ those in vehicles. are forbidden by
one ordinance to approach the scene
OF q fire, and the other ordinance re-
quires all vehicles to give the right OF
way In ~he streets to fire apparatus
when gcing to q Are. The penalty
for failure to obey either of these or
dinances Is a fine or imprisonment.
The effort OF DR.. w. w. Long, State
Farm Demonstration agent to arouse
interest In the plan TO establish pack
Ing houses in South Carolina for tho
purpose Of promoting the live stock
industry by developing local market
for the surplus cattle and hogs raised
by South Carolina farmers. has met
with an immediate and enthusiastic
response. Several towns are already
enthusiastically at work to raise the
capital to erect Backing house. and
there Is danger that the packing house
industry may be overdone at the out
set. II all the plans come to fruition.
Community pride and an ill-consid-
cred ambition to take the lead in a
new line of industry may rush some
towns head-long into investing a large
sum Of money in packing house be-
fore that section produces sufficient
live stock to furnish the supply re-
quired for the successful operation Of
a plant Of that description. A packing
house to succeed must have an ade-
quate supply of live stock and 1t must
also be able to sell its products in
competition with the big packing
houses that have reduced the econo-
mical operation of the business to an
exact science. utilizing and turn
ing into profit every by-product OF the
animals slaughtered-only the squeal
OF the hog and the below of the stccr
escaping the efficiency expert who Is

cold water OH the rising tide of pack
ing house enthusiasm. but careful in
vestigation and mature consideration
before hand of every element that en-
ters into the success OF a small pack
Ing plant may prevent needless finan-
cial loss and useless regrets later ON.
Local pride and temporary enthusiasm
often induce business men to invest
some Of their money in a local manu-
featuring enterprise. but the same
men will refuse to buy the products
of the plant II they can obtain else
where the same products for less
money or better and more salable
article for the same price. This is
