Gross profittering in the wool and
shoe industries throug conscious cur
tailment of production was alleged
in the report: The shortage of hous
ing accommodations was attributed
to a shortage in building material
caused by uncertain conditions, and.
to labor disputes and the report said
the shortage probably would "con-
tinue for some time to come
A national standard of living high
er than that existing during the war
or before can be maintained, the re-
port said, if production is placed on
an efficiency basis.
The distinction between apparent
prosperity, which is expressed in
terms of dollars, and real prosperity
which is expressed in terms of pro-
duction was made clear. The high
cost of food was ascribed, not to a
shortage, since on the whole the ma
ton is producing more than in pre-
war days, but to the abundance Of
circulating medium. Relief of the
food situation was predicted.

KILL EACH OTHER
ON PUBLIC ROAD
Two Negroes Meet and Shoot, it is
Supposed, Near Starr.

The State.
Anderson, Sept. "a case like
the Kilkenny cats happened near
Starr Monday afternoon when
Charles Rice and Moot Sanders, two
negroes, killed each other. There
were no witnesses, but the weapons
were found, pistol and a shotgun.
Both negroes were in buggies when
they met, and whether they fired at
the same time or whether one was
not seriously hurt at first will never
be known. A singular coincident was
that both men stayed in their buggies
after being shot to death, one being
carried to neighbor's house by his
mule and the other getting very hear
his own home when he fell from the
buggy. Sanders had two wounds
from SO calibre revolver, one in
the leg and one in the breast, and
Rice was shot in the legs by thugs
and shot. 1t is supposed that he bled
to death.

LOCAL SOLDIERS
DROP INSURANCE
Approximately Thirty-three Per Cent
Keep Up Payments.-Deaths In
1918 Above Normal.

The State, 3rd.
Men of Richland and Lexington
counties, until recently in the service
of the United States army and navy,
are displaying considerable indiffer-
ence with regard to their war insur-
ance, according to advices received
by the war camp community service.
A short time ago, the W. c. c. S.
sent out post cards to men IN these
two counties to ascertain whether or
not they were keeping up the pay
ments on the war insurance and the
replies indicate that approximately
only SO per cent. are making the pay
ments regularly. Out of 247 replies
which have recently come in, only.S2
are maintaining their policies. The
others are permitting their policies to
lapse through non-payment of pre-
miums. All the cards sent out are
mot yet in, but the percentage will
hardly be changed by replies yet to
be received.
"There is no good reason for al
lowing this war insurance to lapse"
said J. D. Neal of the war camp COM
munity service yesterday. ~ realize
that some of the men are not able to
maintain their policies as they found
it difficult to get settled after leav-
ing the service. Many simply neg
lected the matter and others do not
seem to appreciate the value of the
paper. 1t is to be regretted that so
many are dropping their insurance.
Insurance Per Capita.
The per capita insurance in the
State of South Carolina is approx
mately STAT according to figures
compiled yesterday by w. A. Nc
Swain, State insurance commissioner.
The total amount of insurance in
force at the present time in the State
is $367,950,773, the life insurance
companies carrying S2S8,457 ,579
and the fraternal orders $79,493,-
I194.
The loss incurred during the year
1913 by the life insurance compan-
les totaled $4,055,733 while the fra
ternal companies had losses of ST.
096, TAO. The losses paid during 1918
by the insurance companies was $3,-
609,874 and by the fraternal orders
$671,08 Since the close of 1918 it
is probable that many Of the losses
have been adjusted, the report cover
ing the period closing December 81,
1918.
Mr.. McSwain said that the per
capita insurance in South Carolina
is slightly below the average for the
United States, the large negro popu-
lation probably accounting for the
fact.
High Death Rate.
The death rate in 1918 was OBJ
normally high over the country on
account of the influenza epidemic
The Insurance Press in commenting
upon the death rate in 1918 says:
"The rate of mortality the life in
surance companies had to meet in
1913 was about 80 per cent greater
than the average death rate for a
score of years. This great advance
was due mainly to the influenza cpl
demic, the averages by which contin-
ued during several months of the
current. year. Thirty-eight life in
surance companies reporting to the
New York insurance department
were called upon to pay for death
claims and endowments about $685.
