LIVELY WAR
Over Insurance Rates Will Be.
Probable Outcome.
It looks now as if a big insurance rate
war is pending in Macon. At a meeting
of the local board of underwriters held
yesterday afternoon Mr. Henry Horne gave
notice to the members that he would with
draw his membership pending a readjust
ment of the rate*
This means that Mr Horne has deter
mined to stand by the rates of the local
board no longer and that he will cut the
rates to a lower figure He says that he
has ample facilities for doing this and that
he will make it a merry tight if iho other
members of the board want a tight. But
Mr. Home says also that he does not want
a condition of shaos. All be wants is a re
adjustment of the rat.-s, which he consid
ers entirely too high He was one of a
committee appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce some time ago to look into this
matter, it being the opinion of the mem
bens of the chamber that the rates are too
high. But for some reason that commit
tee has failed to meet and Mr. Horne says
that the simples: way for him to get at the
rearrangement is to propose to do the thing
himself by cutting the rates if the Others
decline to come to his figures.
It i 4 hedd by the other insurance agents
that th- 1 rates are not too high -and that
they cannot get the insurance written with
their companies at lower rates, bu-t Mr.
Horne says that he will define the com
panies who will write the Insurance with
out any hesitation.
It was int mated in these columns some
tim- ago that this would be done in the
near future, but It was though: at the
time that the Chamber of Comerce would
take the matter up It is understood,
how eve. -'a. Mr Horne will have the
chamb< at h:s back m what he proposes
to do now.
Th- developments of the next few days
will be interesting.
Following * the letter seat by Mr Horne
bi the board
Mr. F a Williams. Manager. Macon. Ga.
Dear Sir 1 ba to notify you <hat from
this dale I will not be bound by tha exist
ing rates of the Southeastern Tariff Asso
ciation as they apply to business In Macon.
I have been aware for a long time of
methods that have been employed by et>m
pani-cs represented at Macon by wuh-b ad
vantage has been taken of companies and
agents who have maintained the Tariff As
sociation's ribs and rates I do not pro
pose to compel-, with my brother agents
m any underhanded manner, bu: to com
pete with them fairly and openly. I have
always -eheved hat the present rates ex
isting ar<- unreasonable on a certain class
of business, in which selection of the moral
and physical hazard will compare favora
h y with similar risks m other sections of
the United States. I do not wish to enter
into a competition that will mean an un
reasonable demoralization of rates and re
sult In chaos, but believing that a uniform
reduc'ion should be made and um.i that
reduction Is made. I in’end to act inde
pendent of -he Southeastern Tariff Asso< a-
Uon rules and rates I only want what ii
fair an-’, equitable to the aseured as well
as to the compares that have to carry the
risks, and I am prepared to meet a com
mittee from the local underwriters to en
deavor to agree upon an adjustment of
rates that will give the assured a uniform
n:- fair and equitable to all parties con
cerned. J assure the members of the as
sociation that there is no personal feeling
whatever In thia matter On account ofi
my absence from the city for a few days I 1
regret I will not be able to meet any com
mittee from tne board until Monday or
Tuesday of next week
Yours very truly,

CEMENT ROCK
COSTS LITTLE
Mayor Price Savs It Is Not
as Expensive as Clav
Roads.
CHARGES HE UNFOUNDED
That the Rock Costs as Much as
Another Kind of Paving —Pav
ing Fund Not Used,
The charge has been made that the lay
ing of the cement rock on the residence
Btreets of Macon is as costly as it would
be to lay asphalt or any other paving at
a reasonable rate.
At a meeting held at the Academy of
Music some time ago it was stated that the
co»t of laying this rock would come to
11.60 a square yard.
Speaking on this subject Mayor Price
says that the proposition Is simply pre
posterous. He says that the cement rock
is as cheap as the laying of a dirt street.
To begin with the rock costs fI.SO g. cubic
yard and out of this six square yards can
be made. - *
That brings the cost of the material laid
down in Macon to 25 cents a square yard.
If a street has to be improved the clay has
to be mixed with sand or tbe sand with
clay. The hauling of this is expensive
Then the gutters on either side of the
street are reduced in cost to less than half
by the use of the cement rock. The mayor
says that the people who make these
charges have not looked into the matter,
but that they are at liberty to go to the
records of the city and find out for them
selves.
Taken altogether he says that the city
has saved money by the use of the cement
rock and that in his opinion it is a first
class material.
The mayor is thoroughly posted on this
subject and is ready at any time to give
the facts and the figures as he has brought
them out for his own satisfaction. He in
vites an investigation of the cost of this
work. He says that not a cent of the
paving fund has ever been used for the
work of laying the cement rock. This
charge was also made at the same meet
ing. These are records in the office of
the city treasurer and he wants those who
have made or considered the charges to
go the city treasurer and invest’-ate the
matter for themselves.

JUSTICE COURTS.
Ir Is a Fact that Some of Them Are Better
Than Others.
There are justice courts and justice
courts. Some courts are better than others
and some of them are very bad.
The fact that a thorough investigation
is about to be made, as announced in The
News yesterday, has been received with
pleasure by the community at large.
Some of the justices and bailiffs called
upon The News today for the purpose of
disclaiming any connection with the ille
gal practices complained of.
To them and all other justices it was
and is explained that in past and future
reference to the conduct of the justice
courts of the city The News has no in
tention to hold up one court as against
another until the records speak on the
subject.
All justice courts look alike to the gen
eral public until the searchlight shows up
the rottenness of some of them.

LIBRARY DIRECTORS
Held an Important Meeting Yesterday
Afternoon.
The library directors met at the library
last night and the reports of the various
committees were received. The ehatauqua
committee requested that they be given
more time to look into the matter as they :
had not fully decided and wanted ano.her I
month to examine into the matter
she athletic committee reported that they
held a conference with the football team
and that they had arranged matters satis
factorily with the boys. The committee re
pored that they had agreed to furnish the
team with the suits and other equipments
and that they had also made arrangements
with the Carnival Association as to the di
vision of tbe receipts. The carnival is to
pay the expenses of the visiting team and
half of the gates receipts are to go to the
library. The directors think that they can
make money out of this sceheme and that
it Will be a good thing for the library.
Several new ideas were introduced, but
the directors do not wish them made pub
lic. The library is in good condition and
is improving every day. The directors are
working hard to put it on a firm basis and
they are meeting with success on every
hand.
They intend to make the library equal
to any in the state, or the South, and the
people of Macon are with them.
HATCHWAY wTs
HIS BEST FRIEND.
Romance of Ensign Powelson
and Miss Miller, of
Wyoming.
New York. Sept. 2 —Unharmed by the
enemy’s shot and shell. Ensign Powelson,
recently with the auxiliary cruiser St.
Paul, could not persuade his betrothed to
marry him immediately upon his return
from battle. As a victim of an accident
that might befall any landsman, Powelson
may now persuade his betrothed to forego
the pleasure of a big church wedding, in
Wyoming, 0., and take him for better or
worse without delay.
Winfred Van Nest Powelson is the son
of District Attorney A. V. N. Povrelson, of
Middletown, N. Y. He entered the naval
academy in 1889 and was the leader of his
class when he graduated in 1893.
The discoveries he made concerning the
nature of the explosion that destroyed th
Maine had much to do with the subse
quent action.
In June, 1897, Powelson was on shore at
Old Point Comfort. At a reception he met
Miss Margaret Oliva Miller, of 'Wyoming,
0. In the course of time the young people
oecame engaged. They were to have been
married last spring. The war cloud arose
and the lovers were parted. Miss Miller
came to -New York to visit friends, and
never tired of talking of the heroism of
her betrothed.
When the St. Paul came back Ensign
Powelson, who had remained with Captain
Sigsbee, sent a telegram from Montauk
Point .asking in an authoritative way that
the marriage take place immediately. His
request distressed pretty Miss iMiller.
About a year ago there was an epidemic
of weddings in Wyoming. Nearly all her
girl friends have been married in the big
stone Presbyterian church. She wanted
to go home and become Mrs. Powelson in
Wyoming. She wanted her old girl
friends now matrons, to envy her when
she walked up the aisle on the arm of the
hero. Powelson would not hear of it,
There was an argument, and the young
ensign was sad when the St. Paul sailed
for Philadelphia.
Miss Miller was sad too. But she could
not miss the pleasure of a wedding in tile
old stone church at home.
At the time when the St. Paul got into
port, at Philadelphia, Powelson fell down
a hatchway and broke his leg. Not a word
did the pround young officer send to his
sweetheart. She read in the newspapers
of the accident.
Miss Miller is in Philadelphia now. She
declared before she went away that if
. Powelson insisted on immediate marriage
she would not object.
i Yesterday there came a telegram to a
’ girl friend in this city, calling her to
Philadelphia at once. The girl friend took
along her best frocks and announced that
she was going to be a bridesmaid.
It was hard for Powelson to go through
the war unscathed and then to break his
’ leg by falling down a hatchway, but he
I may have the satisfaction of beating the
old stone Presbyterian church at Wyom
ing, Ohio, out of a wedding after all.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than tfirin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
is inactive, you have a bilious look; if
your stomach Is disordered you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af
fected, you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters" is a good Altera

LODGING IN THE CARS
And Waiting Until the Track Can Be
Repaired—No Trains From
Savannah.
The storm which has swept over south
east Georgia during the past two days has
put six counties under - water and parab
ized railroad and telegraphic communica
tions as absolutely as though It never ex
isted.
Savaunah is entirely isolated. Armies
of railroad employes are at work on all the
lines leading into the city, but they are
making slow headway.
Trains are massed on all the tracks, at
Tennille, but none are within a hundred
miles of their destination. The train from
Atlanta last night, over the Georgia Can
tral, plowed through three feet of mud to
reach Tennille and the passengers on
board are now the guests of Tennille’s
hospitable people. It is extremely doubt
ful if they will get away for at least two
days, for the road from there to Macon is
in even worse shape than that to Savan
nah.
Many prominent men are sojourning,
making their headquarters on the long row
of mud-bespattered sleeping cars at the

CINCINNATI LEADS.
Boston is a Good Second —Race is Very Ex
citing.
Notwithstanding the crippled condition
of the Boston team, the aggregation of beau
eaters are putting up an article of ball that
is 'hard to beat. They lost the lead Sun
day, regained it Monday and pulled away
from Cincinnati and Baltimore, being the
only leading club to win. Yesterday, how
ever, they lost again.
Os the other teams close behind the lead
ers Cleveland Is losing some valuable
ground, while New York and Chicago are
running a neck and neck race of it to see
who shall be next to the Cleveland team.
At present Chicago has the best of it and
are giving the Clevelandltes a close race.
Cleveland is playing in hard circum
stances, as her home games have been
transferred to other cities, thus placing
her opponents on the same footing with her
regarding the sympathies of the crowd.
Philadelphia is fast overhauling Pitts
burg, and it is highly probable that they
will beat the aggregation from the Smoky
City out.
Stallings has got a great team together
for Philadelphia, but he was not given the
opportunity to develop the material, which
just now’ seems to be getting on to the
hang of things. That Philadelphia has
one of the best teams in the league cannot
be disputed and it Is becoming more ap
parent eevry day.
New York will and it a hard matter to
hold its present position if the Phillies con
tinue to win.
Louisville, too. Is playing splendid ball
and will, no doubt, be at the top of the
second division when the season closes.
A present it is a hard matter to pick the
winning team, but the Boston team seems
hard to beat. At present they are in a
crippled condition, but that does not seem
to prevent them from winning. They have
a strong infield and an excellent corps of
pitchers, and their team work is some
thing wonderful.
Cincinnati and Baltimore have good
teams but Boston seems to be ahead on
team work.
Still the are hard to down and
are playing the finest game of ball ever put
up by any team in the league. In three
weeks time they have worked their way up
from the fifth place to second and stand a
splendid chance to win out.
The race is so close that changes will re
sult from each day’s games and either one
of the teams may be leading in the next
few days. The following is the record up
to date:

There are just half a dozen teams in the
League that W’ould like to promenade in
the ‘‘Jonah sixty hole”—the entire second
division bunch.
Captain Dick Cooley was called to
Scorers’ Roost In the first Quaker game
to get a telegram. Before he opened it he
was informed “Shetts has signed Tacky
Tom Parrott.”
Umpire Gaffney isn’t very generous In
calling strikes. The twirler who depends
on cutting corners is liable to start a pro
cession of the Balls Guards while “King
John" is on duty.
These are times that try the prophetic
souls of men. Earl Wagner was an early
tooter of the Cincinnati horn, but he
weakened after the last slump and picked
■Boston. Now he Is guessing again.
A J. Reach, who is a conservative
among conservatives, voted to punish
Holmes because he insulted the*Hebrewe.
Ther are a few Sons of Israel who are
pushing quills. One of them —Jake Morsb
—scoffs at the idea that Holmes meant
any affront to his people, and no one
scored the League directors more merci
lessly than the Bostonian.
The Quakers havn’t brought much luck
to League Park. During their spring trip
Billy Douglass was responsible for a seri
ous injury to Elmer Smith. The Phila
delphia first baseman had crouched over
the line to take a wild throw, and Smith,
rather than eut him down, turned quickly
aside and strained his leg The same sort
of play led to St. Jacob Beckley’s retire
ment with a sprained left wrist in the
opening game. Napoleon Lajoie collided
with the Reds’ first baseman. There was
nothing Intentional about it, but it was
the Reds’ ill fortune to get the bad end of
both plays.
