following sne signing OF the decision
made the following statement
"The present decision Is one Of the
most important TO former service men
that has been made In the history OF
the bureau.
MANY service men have been de
TERED from ayailing themselves Of the
former and less liberal reinstatement
privileges by reason Of the relatively
large amount OF money represented by
accumulated overdue premiums, and
because Il would seem that they were
paying for something that they never
actually had. which. In fact, was the
case,
Under the new decision a man Is
relieved Of the burden OF overdue pre-
NUNS He has an opportunity to re-
habiltate himself financially after
getting out Of the Army, Navy, or Ma
rine Corps. and to reinstate his insnr
ance at any time within Is months fol
lowing discharge without the burden
OF paying a large amount Of money.
'rhe reason payment for the month
Of grace Is required under the new de-
cisiOn Is that the insured was protect
ed by reason Of his insurance contlDu-

that had he died during the period OF

dropped his insurance should reinstate

he should die before reinstatement his

Therefore. urge that care he taken

man who has dropped his insurance
that the new ruling does not automatic
cally reinstate him. and To Impress
upon him that he will be without In
suranee until he voluntarily applies for
and secures reinstatement. He should
Immediately apply for reinstatement
for his own protection and that IL his
dependents.
Don't forget that men die or be-
come disabled In peace time as wall rs

NEW DECISION
ON REINSTATEMENT

Secretary OF the Treasury Carter
Glass, ON July 20, signed decision OF
momentous Importance and interest IA
discharged soldiers. sailors, and ma
rines.
In the decision ct. ID. AZ, W. r. the
Secretary ruled that discharged sol
diers, sailors and marines who have
dropped or cancelled their insurance
may reinstate within eighteen months
after discharge without paying the
back premiums. All they will be ask
ed TO pay will be the premium on the
amount OF Insurance TO be reinstated
for the month OF grace In which they
were covered and for the current
month.
Thus. for example. II man dropped
$4,000 OF insurance In January, 1919.
and applies for reinstatement the LIST
OF September for 5000. all he will
have 10 pay will he the premium for
January (the month Of grace) on
5000 and the premium for September
on $1,000. Or. II he applies for rein
statement OF the full $4,000. he will
pay a total OF two months premiums
ON $4,000. one for January and one
for September. He will not have 10
pay premiums In either case for the
intervening months.
The decision stipulates that the for
mer service man applying for reinstate-

tected from the claims OF creditors.
Your insurance money can not be taken
away from you Tor later from your
beneficiary for the payment OF your
debts or those OF your beneficiary.
This Is q most important provision,
which insures your insurance.
Government Insurance Is nonassign-
able. which means that neither you nor
your beneficiary can lose the fruits az
your labor and sacrifice by pawning
your insurance.
Neither you nor your beneficiary
ever win have to pay cent OF taxes
to the Government on the proceeds OF
your Government insurance.
You may pay your premiums by the
month without having TO pay anything
extra on account OF the additional ex-
pense 10 the Government OF collecting
monthly premiums. Or, II you prefer,
you may pay quarterly. semiannually,
or annually. The Government pays all
the expenses Of running the business.

MEETS
THURSDAY M.

At the meeting of the Lexington
Post of ths American Legion tomor-
row night at the school house the re-
port of the delegates to the State Con-
vention will be given and this will
naturally draw many of the service
men out to ascertain just what the
State body did, what changes were
made in the constitution and bylaws,
what policies will be advocated and
supported by South Carolina delegates
to the Minneapolis Convention this
week, and other general information.
It will be of interest to those men
eligible to membership in the Legion
who do not live in or near Lexington
to know that the State convention au-
thorized more than one post to a
county, and provided that any village,
city, or county might have one post
upon the petition of fifteen ex-ser-
vice men. This will afford the men
in or near Batesburg, Leesville, Swan
sea, Chaplin, New Brookland, and all
the other towns of the County an op-
portunity of having their own Post.
Today being the first anniversary
of the signing of the arnlistice, a day
very fresh in the minds of many who
now are back at the old grind, sew
eraI talks by service men about condi-
tions one year ago in their sector
have been arranged for, and all ser
vice men, whether members or not,
are cordially invited to attend the
meeting promptly at seven-thirty to-
morrow evening.
