ture so that the situation caused by
the withdrawal Of practically all the
fire insurance companies from the
state will be clarified.
This decision was reached by the
committee in a session which COM
menced at noon and was continued in
the afternoon. Fitx Hugh McMaster,
insurance commissioner, and James
A. Cathcart, president Of the South
Carolina Fire Underwriters Associa-
ton, appeared before the committee at
its request All members of the COM
mittee were present. Thy are: Will
liam NJ. Otis of Columbia, chairman;
Rawley ". Holcombe of Columbia,
secretary; B. F. Mcleod of Charleston,
George H. Edwards Of Darlington and
E. E. Child of Whitniire. The meet
ing was held in the rooms of the
chamber of commerce.
Through the assistance Of members
Of the committee. Mr.. Otis will appoint
county chairmen, who will be dele
gated with authority to call mass
meetings of business men. farmers, in
surance agents and legislative dele
cations. Should the law be found
constitutional. it is pointed out that
further steps by the commercial in
terests Of the state will be available
through the concerted action of these
