M'MASTER WRITES
LETTER TO AGENTS
HE SAYS THAT COMPANIES
COULD OPERATE, BUT
THEY WONT
MUST COMBINE
Says Companies Will No} Be De
nted Righi to Combine as
to Rates.
.'lint 'I'.ey Won't' ls a suitable title
for a letter I huvo received from In
surance Commissioner Mcmaster,"
stated one of the local fire insurance
agents yesterday. "He seems tr.
think that the word 'wont' ls the
cause of all the present trouble."
Copy o? Letter.
The fol ?owing is a copy of Mr. Mc
Master's letter:
"There aro about a dozen stock
companion now doing agency busi
ness lu the state. The withdrawing
stock companies could ?lo hiislreBS
Just as well under the law a< the
companies which are here, but I1 ey
wont.
"Tlie withdrawing companies could
help their old agents and persistent
policyholders by taking renewals
through their foi mer agents as brou
ers, without the companies subject
ing themselves to -tho law o? the
state, but they wont.
"Tiio withdrawing companies
could take reinsurance from the com
panies now hero and the sUktit'on
would be much relieved, but :'uey
wont.
' The withdrawing companies could
w ihhold their disapproval (and the
consequences) and thus permit the
staidly reinsuring companies doing
business with the companies now liera
ind tlie situation would be mud.l re
lieved, but they wont.
"Thirty of tho withdrawing com
panies forming the Factory Insurance
association, which is by name ex
empted from tho law, could continuo
that form of insurance and flint would
bo snino help, but they wont.
"The withdrawing companies will
not do but incas here, and no oilier
companies closely allied wi'Ji them
.viii do business here.
'T.'sgaraless of what may be tho
law? of other states, the fire in
mrance companies' which havo with
trawn from South Carolina are de
ermtned they will npt bo denied the
sower to combine SB to rutcB and they
"efuso to permit tho stato to have
iny revisory. power over those rates.
There are a few incidental conten
ions, but ttoey auteuil, to nothing, und
:he eise is stated In the preceding
lenience.
"Thereiforo unices tho law ls re
pealed South Carolina must take
:aro of herBeli, with the aid of the
Insurance organizations now ?toing
justness here. In my opinion, these
irganlzatlons will scarcely be able to
ak? care or the best Insurable risks
Which are protected by municipal wa
erworka. Property not so protected
mist be Insured otherwise, and I see
io chance for UIIB except in mutual
L'ompanies. Bvcry tl.inking IndHvi
lual knows that each class of pro
perty must or should pay Its own fire
osaes, whether the insurance be In a
dock company or In a mutual. Thero
s no prospect of organizing many
Uoek companies.
"The agents who havo lost their
companies throughout the state

CIT M PRIMAI
HELD MA'
GOVERNING RULES ADOPT
ED AT MEETING OF EX
ECUTIVE COMMITTEE
YESTERDAY
ENROLLMENT OF
j VOTERS REQUIRED
I Very Little Difference in Rules of
Two Years A go-Regulations
Should Be Read By All
Voters.
j
The approaching city primary for
j Andersen will he hold on Tuesday.
.Muy IG, tilla matter having been de
rided yesterday afternoon ut a meet
ing of the city executive committee,
when rules to govern"1 ?ho primary
election were adopted. The meeting.
wu3 held at 4::IU o'clock in the office
of i e chairman, Mr. G. Cullen Cul
len Sullivan.
The most significant change in thc?
rules from those in uso two years
ago is in the'fact thut the enrollment
on tho club rolls must be made in
person, this rule being made to con
form with those adopted by the Demo
cratic party and later adopted in'o
law by the South Carolina legisla
ture. Till? does not mean that new
club roll books will be made un. The
com m it tee as decided to use thu
same roll books tha't were- used In the
state and country primary election
two years ago, and it will only he
necessary for those who have moved
to the city since that time and those
who have moved from one ward lo
another, and also those who have been
affected by the changing of the
boundaries of Wards-and-. As
soon UH t.:ese books- are located, the
names of the secretaries from the
different wards, who will have Char g ?
of them, and the places where they
can be found, will be announced.
The committee decided to have the
primary election carly since, if this
were the case, lt would be over and
out of tile way before the state and
county politics begin to demand so
much attention.
