WITH LEAGUE

It has, been intimated at the
White House that the government
will give at least partial accept
ance to recent invitations from the
League OF Nations to participate in
the work of its commissions on
white slavery and the opium traf-
fc.
The administration proposes to
do as it has done already with
some of the Leagues activities,
and designate unofficial repre-
sentatives'' to the new commits
sions. It has announced also that
1t is considering the appointment
of an observer on a labor commits
sion OF the League which is con-
cerned with the investigation Of
anthrax.
All this is in the nature of what
one Washington correspondent
calls "a policy of semi-detached af-
filiation with the affairs of the
League" There does not seem to
he anything in such a policy to
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1922-10-28

anee at the same time, for which
the old line companies make addi-
tional charge. So that for the
protection enjoyed by the farmer
through his own company he would
be charged a rate so high as to
be practically prohibitive. In ad-
dition to the savings made by lnu-
tual insurance companies. must be
listed the fact that it furnishes the
farmer opportunity to insure. Irs
some of the counties it has not
been easy to get insurance on coun-
try property at any figure. Wher-
ever there is q mutual company,
this need is supplied and the form
er breathes easier because his home
and his barns are, to a very great
extent, protected by that insur-
|ance.
The coast counties of the state
are now the only ones without this
insurance; the Piedmont and the
eastern parts of the state are fair
ly well supplied with mutual COM
panies.
The most vital reform in mutual
insurance is that each company
shall confine Its business to its
home county. Most of them are
one county associations but a few
do business in two OR more coun-
ties. Experience in the state
shows that it is best to conf1ne
business to the home county. This
is in line with all mutual or CO.
operative history, which indicates
that successful mutuality in business
depends upon a circle SO small
that the members can know eacn
other personally. :,
The field Of mutual fire insurance
is BY no means exhausted. Mich
new business can be obtained in
every county, and competent agents
can cut down the loss ratios by
careful inspection and choice Of
risks. 1t is quite within their
province to carry on a campaign to
reduce the fire hazard among their
policy holders.
/ Probably no institution in the
state excels these mutual companies
an service rendered at little cost.

BRITISH RECIPROCITY

Ever since the British dominions
beyond the seas began to attain
their increasing measure of self
government, enthusiastic support
ers of the imperial idea have work
ed, to bind the various possessions
together more. closely by means of
reciprocal tariff agreements. Now,
after a generations effort, their
work bears fru1
Australia and New Zealand are
the first of the dominions TO rati-
fly the new inter-empire tax: They
have scrapped the old general tar
iff rates which formerly applied to
each others products and, in the;
case of most commodities, have
adopted the preferential custom Of
the United Kingdom. AS a result
these antipodean commonwealths
expect considerable stimulation
of their mutual trade. and it is
only reasonable to expect that
other countries. and especially the
United States, will feel the effects
of It.
Lower duties in New Zealand. for
instance, will give Australia a
measure of advantage in supply
ing rubber tires and, other rubber
goods. boots, shoes and leather pro-
ducts, canned and dried fruits and
vegetables. Australia's CORE
spending concessions will open
new markets for New Zealand pro-
ducts, and Canada's expected con-
currence will work to the same end.
1t becomes increasingly appar-.
ent that the British Empire is one
league of nations" that actually
functions.

The article on peach growing IN
South Carolina by Prof. Musser. OF
Clemson College, which was print
ed yesterday. contains information
that is of value to peach growers,
present and prospective. The-
comparative temperature and rain
fall statistics of the peach grow
ing sections of South Carolina and
Georgia are especially interesting.
The temperature record Of Camden
is probably approximately the
same as that of the Sta.eburg and
Providence sections of Sumter
county, which are now being de-
veloped as commercial peach
growing sections; but there are
temperature and rainfall records
.extant, that would be directly in
formative as to Stateburg and Vi
cinity. The late DR.. w. W. Ander-
son of Stateburg. kept a careful
record of temperature and rainfall
for more than forty years. and m
this he merely carried on tHe
weather observations begun by his
father many years before. The
weather observations made and
recorded at Statehurg by the Drs
Anderson. father and son, both n.ea
of scientific attainments. are said
to have been among the earliest
and most complete in the United
States. In his later years DR.. An
derson was one of the volunteer
weather observers for the Weather
Bureau. ard the writer was told by
DR.. Anderson that at the request
of the Weather Bureau he had fur
nished copy of the records made
by both hiself and his father. If
this record could be obtained by
Prof. Musser he could derive
from it very valuable information
for the guidance of the farmers
who are now planting peach or
chards in the Stateburg section.

what a splendid part st. Joseph's

Sisters and their pupils and teach
