little folkK and their careful instructors.

WHAT THOMSON NEEDS.
SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS OP
much Importance.
Au Interview With Mr. W. S. Curtis—
The Benefits Our Citizens Would
Derive From a Hook aud
Ladder Truck,
As w ? e have gone to the expense of pur
chasing a steam lire engine to protect our
i property from tire, why not go .ahead and
invest a little move aud secure a hook and
| ladder truck and organize a company. By
iso doing we would be entitled to benefits
j from the insurance companies in a reduc
, tion of rates aud an increase in the msura
, hie value of property
| Meeting Mr. Walter S. Curtis in the
post office, n few days ago, we applied a
; few questions to him aud elicited the fol
lowing information :
! ‘‘What benefit is our new steamer to the
town as regards insurance ?”
| 4 ‘There is none. But, if the town will
purchase a hook aud ladder truck aud or
ganize a company the benefits would be
! two-fold. Insurers will got a25 per cent,
j reduction in rates and the ‘three-quarter
clause' Will bo eliminated from their poli
cies. By getting rid of the three-quarter
clause property owners are enabled to in
sure their property for its full value.”
“What amount will the 25 per cent, re
duction represent in a year’s business ?**
“A reduction of 25 per cent, on the in
surance premiums paid would amount to
about sjsfiOO a year,” ,
“What do you thiuk a sn'tablo truck
would cost ?”
“Oh, well, that depends on the kind of
truck. A truck that would meet the re
quirements of the insurance companies I
represent would cost, I should thiuk, about
$225 or $250.”
“Are there enough cisterns in town?”
‘Tire business jmrtion of town is pretty
well supplied, but we need three or four
more to protect residences. Of course ve
could not "Ive V-r redu. cu rat* aud in
creaiod valuation to property not fully pro
tected.”
“Is there anything else of importance
the people ought to know ?”
“You might say that the town ought by
all means to buy tho truck, and the sooner
they do so the bettor.
“You may also call attention to the fuot
that we all should be careful about fire, hr
a majority of fires arc traceable directly to
carelessness. A fruitful source of fires is
the practice of ‘taking up’ ashes and setting
them out in wooden boxes. This should
nevor be done. When ashes are ‘taken up*
I they should bo immediately emptied aud
j every spark of tiro extinguished. If this is
! done the danger from fire is reduced to the
| minimum.”
It will he a good idea for every (me to
consult with himself about tho above, both
|as to the need of a hook and ladder truck
j and the advice about fire.
to-day the advertisement of
the great Backet Store, of Argusta, and in-
I trod vice its managers to our people. Mr.
| John F. Speck, the proprietor, is a South
j Carolniau, a gallant ex-Conf©derate soldier,
1 and an honest, obliging gentleman, who
wins a friend with every acquaintance. His
first lieutenant. Mr. W. S. Howard, has
been one of the buxineas men of Augusta
so long, and has so many old army com
rades and acquaintances through this sec
tion that he needs no introduction. He is
a whole team within himself; and, with
the assistance of Mr. J. O. Speck, and a
corps of clerks, tho Racket proposes to sell
more goods and cheaper goods than any
house in town. Our people have a special
and cordial invitatilon to visit the Backet
Store whenever they are in the city, and
particularly during tho Exposition. We

“ Another wonderful discovery has
been made,and that too by a lady in tills
county. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital or
gans were undermined and death seem

coughed incessantly and could not sleep.
She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, and
was so much relieved on taking first
dose that she slept all night, and with
one bottle has been miraculously cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus
