Columbia, Oct. 15.-W. A. Nc
swain, State insurance commission
er, issues a warning to investors of
the State to scrutinize carefully
stock statesmen when approached
and to ascertain If they have per-
mits to dispose of their securities
In South Carolina, as required by
an act passed in 1915.
The insurance commissioner lately
has received many requests for per-
mits to sell stock of various con-
Germs, most Of them oil companies.
So far this year, said Mr.. McSwain,
the insurance department has issued
permits to only four oil concerns.
The insurance department and the
attorney generals office have to de-
pend upon the public for informa-
tion in regard to stock statesmen.

Poisonous matter clogged in the

CLI0NiENCEAU VERY WEAK.
Evident That He Has Not Fully Re-
covered from Wound.

Paris, Oct. 14.-Premier Clemen-
ceau's delivery Of his peace ratitlca-
ton treaty speech in the Chamber
OF Deputies was very labor,uus and
he rouahed "epeat tcdly. This was
regarded as evidences that he had
not completely recovered from tho
effects Of Cottin's bullet. He at
times became almost inaudible, depu-
ties and spectators alike fearing a
collapse of the old statesman.
Responding to the criticism that
the peace conference had lasted too
long, NJ. Clemenceau cited the West
phalian congress ending the thirty
years war, which lasted seven years,
while the Paris peace conference had
lasted only seven months.
Il am sure," NJ. Clemenceau,
that the work accomplished by the
conference will occupy a greater
space in history than the entrance
Of Mohammed II in Constantinople."
Everyone laughed. There was the
"Old Tiger" again, always humor-
Gus, even when weak, tired and in
poor spirits.
He Is all right" everybody said,
che Is quizzical again."
With very rare exceptions depu-
ties and spectators did not seem to
realize that Clemenceau was in earn
est that the entrance of Mohopnod
III in Constantinople is regarded as
the end Of the middle ages and the
commencement Of the period known
as the modern times" Mohammed
II entered Constantinople May 20,
1853.

THINHssyII4L TAKE PETRoGRAD.
Enemies on -Four Fronts Are Closing
In on SOViets.

London, Oct. 16.- Forced back by
the onslaughts of enemies on four
fronts, the armies OF tho soviet gov
ernment of Russia appear to be
facing "a period pregnant with dis
aster. Gen. Denekine's Cossacks
from the south, Polish forces from
the west, northwestern Russian le-
gions OF the northwest and northern
Russian troops from the north, have,
during the last few days, forged
ahead until 1t seems the Bolshevik
armies are between the upper and
lower El.ll stones.
Petrograd is doomed to capture,
in the opinion Of observers, Gen.
Yudenitch being at Gatchina, only
25 miles south Of the former Rus
sian capital. Int the extreme north,
the northern Russian army has
broken the resistance Of the Bolshe-
Wiki, according to reports, and are
pursuing the Reds toward Omega, n
village about $50 miles west Of
Archangel
Further to the south, it has forced
its way far down along the Dvina
river. Polish forces have captured
Kovnc, on the extreme northern end
of their line. Denekine's men have
driven a giant wedge into central
Russia as far as Orel and are
thought to be on their. way toward
Tula, an important railway center
that is considered the key to Mos
COW. East of the Urals is Admiral
Kolchak's army, but 1t is seemingly
too far away to enter into considera-
ton as vital factor in the situa-
ton which is developing in Russia
proper. Gen. Denekine and Yuden-
itch and Admiral Kolchak are said
to be operating in close co-ordina-
ton.
Wesi OF Gen. Denekine's army
are forces Of Ukraines, who, while
supposed to be hostile to the Bolshe-
Wiki have declared war on Denekine
because Of alleged atrocities perpe-
trated by the latter's soldiers on
lheif advance toward Moscow. Re-
ports nave been received, however,
that pnrt OF the Ukrainian army has

sured That the latter will wrest east
