HOPE IS REVIVED FOR
LOWER RATES.
Since Thk IIrrau) began the agita
tion of the question of lower insurance
ratps for Sandersvillc, we have been
willing to concede that any reasonable
demands ot the insurance companies
should be met, if by so doing a reason
aide concession would be made by
those who lix the ratvs for fire insur
ance here.
We believe the V.ily should {provide
the lire companies with suitable lad
ders and a chemical, engine of the
smaller and less expensive clnss. We
believe this a good and wise invest
ment. The lire companies have already
rei|nested this additional apparatus
and there seems to be no doubt that it
should be provided, even if the city’s
credit must be used to obtain them.
It is now stated that, the Southeast
ern Tariff Association is willing to
grant some reduction in rates if the
request of the Sandcrsville fire com
pany is granted.
While we believe the city deserves
the reduction without this new ex
pense, the protection to the property
of the city deserves consideration and
we hope that the condition will be
speedily complied with and that the
rate reductions may go into effect by
the first -f the new year.
Of course if the equipment can be
provided by voluntary contributions,
there is no objection to this course and
it would show a very generous and pa
triotic spirit. If not we hope the city
officials will not hesitate to provide
this additional means to protect the
property here,
The panic has retreated. Santa Clar.8
is in hot pursuit.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller says the
worn is over, so we may ns well have
the lamps filled with oil and go to
work again.
We suppose its up to Spenker Slaton
to hold down the lid while the Govern
or is getting things in shape for the
entire country.
The fact that Sandersvillc enjoyed a
splendid trade all during the recent
dull season is an indication that the
enterprising merchants her? have
found it profitable to reach out by
more advertising.
It is recalled that a republican was
president and congress was overwhelm
ingly republican at the time of the
panic of 1873, which was probably the
most disastrous financial reverse since
18.17. A republican was president and
there wns no thought of a change when
the panic of 1884 oeourred. The panic
of 1893 occurred after a democratic
president wns inaugurated, but while
the highest protective tariff we had
had up to that time wns in force, and
business was not checked by the elec
tion of Mr. Cleveland. The financial
panic in 1901 and the present far more
severe one were both under a republi
can administration and with the high
est tariff we ever had in operation.
And yet the G. O. P. has been con
stantly advertised Jtu the generous and
unfailing giver of prosperity.—Macon
Telegraph.
Life of Leisure.
There are still a few who are leisure
ly In their hours of freedom, but what
about the old life of leisure? It used
to he thought that such n life was In
nocent and admirable and that good
fruit might come of It. Hut nowadays
the man who does nothing but medl-
tnte and observe and write a little Is a
mnn condemned by the ordinary opin
ion ot' society.—London Reader.
Rebuked.
Young College Woman (interested in
polities)—The office should seek the
man. Grandma (rather deafi—I know
that's what girls think nowadays, hut
in my time it was considered very uu-
ladylike.—Puck.
It is indeed a desirable thing to be
well descended, but the glory belongs
to our ancestors.—Plutarch.

THE CHRISTMAS ISSUE.
—
Parties desiring advertisments to go
in the Christmas edition of Tnr Hkk-
At,n will greatly favor us by letting us
know how much space is wanted, now,
in order that we may know what prep
arations to make and in order that the
work may progress as rapidly as
possible.
Some of our patrons have already en
gaged advertising space and we would
be glad if they would furnish the copy
for their advertisments as early as
possible.
The Christmas issue is being gotten
out by our regular force and in order to
do so we have begun to do whatever
may be done in advance to save the
printers n rush of work at the last
moment.
We hope our friends will bear this in
mind as we are anxious to issue a
Christinas paper worthy of our town
and the generous patronage we feel
sure will be given it.
It appears that the advocates of Mr.
Bryan for the democratic nomination
are already at work to this end. Ala
bama seems to be taking, the lead in
this matter. The Mobile Register
lias the following to say of the llryan
movement! '‘The movement started
in Birmingham to forward the nomi
nation of Mr. Bryan at the national
convention bears out what was .said
when the Bryan announcement was
made that a majority of democrats
believe in the Nebraskan, and will
vote for him again if given the op
portunity. Alabama, ns the first
state in the list, will be watched with
interest, and the position taken by
Birmingham democrats, believing that
Mr. Bryan can get more votes than
any other man, coupled with knowl
edge of the extent of the Bryan sen
timent throughout the state, leads to
the opinion that when the iirst state
name is called before the convention
Alabama will place in nomination the
man who can get the votes.”—Colum
bus Ledger.

New York, Oct. 7.—To his congre
gation In St. Stephens Episcopal

pose, teaches temperance in strong
drink, and urges the extermination ot
the saloon.
