Martha Washington by an English
corporation, Watts. Watts & Co.. to

MIR. COHEN NOT DODGING.

1t is really refreshing these days to
run across a candidate who is open
and abovc-board in his announce
mcnts as to where he stands. both as
to measures and men. AS a striking
example Of man who stands def
nitely for something and has the man
hood to boldly state his convictions,
we point to Octavus Cohen, Of
Monck's Corner, a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor Of South Carolina.
Mr.. Cohen 'tates his position on i'm
portant matters in this weeks issue
OF The Courier. No man need worry
as to his position; it is stated so
clearly, so frankly as to leave abso-
lutcly no doubt in any mans mind.
We congratulate Mr.. Cohen on the
open position he has taken, and we
commend him and his views and
principles to the very serious consid-
Grafton OF the voters of Oconee.
There is none of the "all things to all
men" stamp about Octavus Cohen.
IT is evident that he is what he is
from high principle. Would that
there were more OF his kind in the
political arena to-day. We detest a
:lOdgor.'

Oconee Farmers Insurance.

The annual meeting of the Oconee
County Farmers Mutual Insurance
Association was held in the Court
House yesterday, the 18th. An unu-
sually good crowd was present and
took part in the business presented.
The report of the secretary and trea-
surer was read and appeared 10 be
very gratifying. The association has
passed the one million mark in in
surancc in force, and it became nee
essary to authorize an amendment
to the charter allowing an increase
in the capital stock. 1t was decided
to amend under the general law,
which will permit any amount that
may be desired.
The bylaws were also amended
so as to allow a transfer Of insurance
policy when Il member transfers a
piece Of insured property. This may
be done by presenting the old policy
to the secretary, paying fee of fifty
cents and he vii Tissue new policy
to the new owner. Heretofore the
new owner had to take a new policy
and pay the full first premium.
All the old officers were reelected
for the ensuing year.
