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.

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.

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. ‘‘HIAWASSEE ROUTE.” Only Through Sleeping Car Line Between Atlanta and Knoxville.

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.

WASHOUTS ARE VERYJERIOUS Trains on the Central Have Been Massed at Ten nille. 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 station, but jaunting about the country to look at the awful ravages made by the storm 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: NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

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. CASTOR IA For Infants and. Children.
