THE INSURANCE SITUATION.
Resolutions Recently Adopted by the
State Bankers Association.

The following resolutions have
been furnished to the press Of South
Carolina with the request that they
be published:
TO Governor r. l. Manning and
the Members Of the Legislature Of
the State of South Carolina:
The following document was favor
ably reported by the resolution COM
mittee Of the South Carolina Bank
ers' Association at it's recent conven-
ton and unanimously adopted with
instructions that copy be sent to
each of you:
The State Bankers Association Of
South Carolina would respectfully
call to the attention Of Governor
Manning and the members of the
Legislature the critical condition of
the insurance situation In our State.
All the large companies have with
drawn from the State and the local
companies are entirely unable to han
die the volume OF business that Is Of
fered them.
If risks are placed through brokers
in other States, the insured have
none of the safeguards chat formerly
existed, and in case Of loss must sue
in other and perhaps distant States.
Last year the insurance companies
paid $4,000 in taxes to this State.
This year only a small fraction of
this amount will be collected
Last year the bankers Of South
Carolina were able to loan large in
surance. Through these loans our
cotton growers were enabled to hold
their cotton while it increased in
value from SIS to $40 bale, thus
adding millions of dollars to the
wealth of the State.
Another cotton season will soon
open, and, unless we can secure safe
insurance, we will not be able to
command the funds to repeat those
loans, and very little cotton will be
stored in South Carolina. This may
cause heavy loss to our cotton grow
erS.
Shipping is being driven away
from our chief port Charleston, on
account Of inability to secure cargoes
there.
Many pending loans cannot be
completed, as the risks cannot be in
sured in safe companies.
AS present policies expire we ex-
pect to see the calling in of large
amounts now loaned OH South Caro-
lima property by Northern companies,
and local capital is not sufficient to
absorb these investments.
While the quality of insurance now
sold in our State Is poorer, the price
has advanced in many cases from SO
to 100 per cent. especially on coun-
try property, and many buildings
cannot be insured at all.
In. view of these facts we ask that
immediate action be taken so as to
remedy the evil. What that remedy
shall be we leave to your wisdom to
determine. We name the disease. 1t
is for you to make the cure.
Urging that you give this matter
such attention as the seriousness of
the situation demands, I have the
honor to remain,
Respectfully yours,
Julien C. Rogers, Secretary.

Fires Keep Timber Lands Poor.


why Is raw pine land so poor?"
is q question we are often asked. The
answer, we believe, is that this soil
poverty is due, moro than to any
other one thing, to the fact that pine
lands are burned over on an average
at least once a year, and in some Sec
tions twice. This burning is sup
posed to Improve the range" but
does it? AS matter Of fact 1t helps
destroy the range, because it burns
all the vegetable matter that Is really
necessary to soil fertility, and kills
the helpful soil bacteria.
If you doubt this statement, you
can prove or disprove it by fencing
piece of poor land and keeping fire
off it.. At the end of few years it
will be loose, mellow, and chock full
of vegetable matter and available
plant food. We have actually seen
lands capable Of making hardly any
thing at all fenced and fire kept away
from them, with the result that in q
few years nature had built them up
to where they would produce forty
bushels Of corn per acre.

WANT AN HONORABLE PEACH,
But Not Peace at Any I'rice-Peace
Committee at Work.
A Berlin dispatch of July % ga,

A Berlin dispatch of July % says:
The German national committee
for securing an honorable peace has
drafted an address which will be
published IN few days calling for
support Of Chancellor von Bethmann-
Hollweg and the influence Of public
opinion toward moderate peace
aims. The signatures to the address
indicate the Importance Of the
movement, which will begin its work
on August 1. They include Count
Won Wedel, general adjutant Of the
Emperor and head of the movement;
Philip Heineken, director of tho
North German Lloyd; Paul Won
Schwaback. director of the Bleichro-
der Bank; Prof. Ad0lph Harnack
and many important manufacturers,
merchants, professors AND others.
The address outlines the aims of the
committee, steering course be-
tween the pacifists and the pan-Ger-
mans. The latter 1t characterizes as
annexation lunatics." 1t empha-
sizes the fact that the controversy Of
the last few weeks between the peace
advocates and the annexationists has
had harmful effect, and that it Ia
necessary for the moderates to ere
ate uniform views concerning a ba-
sis Of peace. The program Of the
committee includes the delivery Of
fifty addresses in as many cities OF
the German Empire by prominent
Germans. One Of the executive off,
GERS Of the new party outlined it's
purposes, saying: "We desire to sup
port the chancellor, but we disagree
with the governments prohibition of
discussion of the aims Of the war.
We want an honorable peace, but not
a peace at any price. Neither do we
want peace delayed by those who
would have us take all our military
power enables us to get"

nor Of Alsace-Lorraine.

RELIEF FROM PAIN
BRINGS HAPPINESS
Substantial Farmer is Now
Happy Man.
RECOMMENDS TANLAC

1t has been said that health and
happiness go hand in hand. After
much suffering, when relief is expert
enced, there is no wonder that one
experiences happiness and JOY. 1t Is
in the wonderful story told by J. c..
Cain, one of the sturdy farmers of
Westminster, near the dividing lines
of the States Of South Carolina and
Georgia, that we are given O beauti-
full example Of this return of Joy
when health is again made better.
Mr.. Cain wrote recently to the
State agent for Tanlac at Columbia
voluntary testimonial of Tanlac. His
experiences are best told in the fol-
lowing letter, which he wrote:
81 feel under obligations to send
you correct testimonial for Tanlac.
81 have been sick for the past five
years. stayed bilious and sick at
my stomach all the time. Nothing l
ate agreed with me, and nothing l
took did me any good. The doctors
here announced that | had gall
stones and gravel stones. My kid
neyS gave me severe pain all the
time.
Before began to take Tanlac it
was drag for me to get out every
morning to feed my stock. Now
can get up and call my wife to get
breakfast, and by the time l get into
the yard l catch myself a-whistling
and a-singing the sweet songs l used
to sing. My mules recognize my
voice and begin to bray and to
knicker, knowing that | am coming
to give them their feed.
Before l began taking Tanlac my
wife would ask me If / wanted to go
with her to preaching on Sunday
morning. l would tell her, No ]
didn't feel like going. Now l get
up every Sunday morning and ask
my wife If she wants to go with me
to preaching.
Before began to take Tanlac it
was drag for me to go to the field,
and sometimes I had to tell the boys
and show the other hands what to
do. Now l can get up every morn
ing and eat a hearty breakfast and
drink my coffee, too, and 1t doesn't
hure me; and l Ian go to the field
and do as much work as any hand
have got"
1t is just such statements from
citizens Of the various walks of life,
like Mr.. Cain, who hold the highest
esteem Of the community In which
they live, that have prompted others
to buy the great preparation, and,
therefore, the makers Of Tanlac are
indebted to these persona for their
testimony.
After sending the above testimony,
Mr.. Cain sent additional testimony,
and says, among other things: "I
can cut wheat all day long now
something have not done in five
years"

TO BUY DANISH WEST INDIES.
Nothing Known Officially at Saint
Thomas About Dickering.

st. Thomas, D. w. l., July 28.-
Nothing Is known here officially con L.
cerning the probable purchase OF the
Danish West Indies by the United
States from Denmark, but the news
that negotiations for the transfer of
the islands have virtually been COM
pleted caused no surprise, persistent
rumors Of the probable transfer Of
the islands having been received of
late.
Probably due to the reluctance Of
Danish capitalists to invest more
money for improving and maintain
ing the islands, conditions daily have
become more unsatisfactory. st.
Thomas Is. threatened with bank
ruptcy, the harbor trade, It's princi-
pal support, being almost dead. st.
Croix Is facing q social revolution,
following agitation by laborers for
higher wages and better living condi-
tions.
Public sentiment in st. Thomas Is
divided over the transfer Of the is-
land, the lower classes being the
more desirous for a change. 1t is
pointed out that st. Thomas would
only be useful to the United States
as a naval base and that it Is prob
able should the shle he effected that
the harbor would be closed.

Progressive Farmer.)


Our agricultural advisers as we'll
as our farmers seem to have COM
pletely lost sight Of the true reason
for diversitication and livestock pro-
duction. To produce the food and
feed supplies Of the farm is an eco
nomic necessity which no one seems
to doubt; but this is not enough to
build up or maintain sound agri-
cultural system, because it is not
enough to build up and maintain soil
fertility.
Until we begin teaching diversifi-
cation as necessity for economical
soil building we shall make little
progress toward a sound agriculture.
1t Is not practicable to economically
maintain soil fertility and grow one
crop q year on the land and make
the crops cotton and food and feed
crops like corn, oats, wheat, potatoes,
etc. We must reduce the cotton
acreage because Of the necessity for
growing legume, soil-improving
crops, and because more cotton can
be produced on less land when this Is
done.
