ed in Reports from the 8anltary
Inspector and the City Engineer
Interesting Information for Tax
payers and Citizens.
TV> the Honorable Mayor and Coun
cJl, City.
Gentlemen:—The general sanitary
condition of the city is good,
without need, however, of some im
provements, which are set forth in
the reports of the sanitary inspector
and city engineer, whose reports are
attacheJ to this paper, being a part
of same.
We recommend that the improve
ments called for in these reports be
carried into effect as nearly as
be done with expedience.
We find that the constant use of
the carts and instruments repuire
that they be repaired and that some
repairs are now needed.
It has been the ainvof this depart*
nient to conduct it's management
in such a manner as to make the
health conditions as good uspossible
and that every means tending to this
end has been put into effect to the
fw'st judgment of the committee, as
we consider it. of paramount import-
mice to the city’s future growth
Wo are cognizant of the fact that,
new conditions are constantly aris
ing. which make necessary some
.classes of work that* has heretofore
escaped the attention of this depart*
in on t, an.] we recommend that these
conditions bo met and dealt with to
the best Interests of the city at heart
As we grow let us improve.
Respectfully submitted,

The Demand For Lumber it Said to
be Phenomenal and the Output
8mall—Next Meeting of the Asso
ciation to ba- Held inU Valdosta*—
Talk of Bringing Italian Laborers
to Work in the Lumber MillA
While lumber prices were not ad
vanced at the meeting od the Geor
gia Interstate Sawmill Association
in Jacksonville Tuesday, there
every indication that h material ad-
ance in prices will be made at next
meeting of the association.
One matter of great importance
discussed at length was feat of de-
curing foreign laborers. The propo
sition of Mr. B. F, Buck, .third vice
president and general manager of
the Italian-American Agricultural As
sociation of New York, to locate eol-
nies of Italian laborers In fhe south'
rn states, which has already been
accepted by ( eight or ten large lum
ber manufacturers, was laid before
e association.
The committee on freight rates ad
vance and car equipment In Florida
submitted reports showing that con
siderable progress is being made,
able to the mill men and the
cause they are advocating.
Differential Allowed.
In regard to the question pf rate*
from Mobile and Gulf CfWt' ship-
.menIs of lumber, which was discuss
'd at the Mobile meetlhg and refer
red to a committee, the committee
reported recommending that the Mo
bile and Gulf coast port shippers be
governed by the price list of the
Georgia ^Interstate Sawmill Associa
tion but that an allowance of a differ*
ential of $1.50 per Jhousand feet In
their favor bp made. This was
agreed to as the freight rates from
the Gulf ports are approximately
J81.60 per thousand higher than from
the South Atlantic ports. This will
permit of the Gulf Coast shippers
listing their lumber at $1.60 per
thousand less than the prjee list of
the association. . ’ b . r
A £ommlttee was appointed-la com
pliance with a resolution adopted to
take up the question or an advance
it the price list of lumber and sub
mit a report on the same at the sneet-
lng to be held in Valdosta March IB
Great Demand For Lumber.
At the experience meeting a num
ber of the members related their ex’
perlences and It developed that the
mills are getting anywhere ftezn $2
to $5 per thousand feet above the list
price The demand is phenominal
and mill men are getting their own
prices for lumber.
The matter of “mill inspection”
was discussed at great length, but no
definite action was taken as It was
agreed that this is a matter thpt
would be settle! at the Valdosta
meeting. It is the desire of the mill
men to have the nflll inspection to be
final and avoid the controversies that
grow out of the numerous inspec
tions that have been the rule in the
past.
'LIFE INSURANCE.
The following letter from Dr. W.
A. Davis on Life Insurance is timely
and to the point:
Quitman, Ga., Feb. 16, 1906
Mr. \V. A. May, Sec. and Treas.
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.,
of Georgia.
Dear Sir:—Inclosed I herewith
hand you check on the Bank of Quit-
man, for $2.30 in settlement of fol
lowing deaths:
Mrs. Jane B. Parker, Policy No.
(1347, died Dec. 8, 1905.
Mrs. Elinda Powell, Policy No.
1478, died Jan. 24, 1906.
I am glad to learn that the com
pany have some good agents at work
and that they are meeting with suc-
ces$. This is the only kind of insur
ance that our Southern people ought
in take. It is as good as govern
ment bonds, and costs about 20
timgs less. What fools we mortals
be to pay those Northern companies
millions and millions of money more
than It. takes to pay the death losses.
Tho old line companies deposit about
one-flfth of the premium to pay death
losses, with and the balance they
put In their pockets, true, they use
of this surplus hiring agents
to catch more suckers, and to talk of
how safe you are to get your insur
ance. No man ought te take any
thing but plain Insurance, premiums
to be Just enough to pay death losses
with, and allow a small per cent, for
doing the business. This company
Is all right, and every man in the*
county ought te have a policy with
this home company. No Insurance
Company ought to be allowed to col*
lect any more money than it takes
to pay the death losses. The Mutual
Benefit is the right kind of Insur
ance for the Southern people. Look
at the Athens Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, of Athens, Ga. They re
turn you from 30 to CO per cent of
the premiums, and at one time re
turned about all of it. The old line
insurance companies, of Georgia, col
lect fully three and one-half times
as much from the people every year
as they pay back . The Comptroller*
General can give the exact figures.
I wl&h every young man of good
health would take out 1,000 to 2,000
In this company, it' is the cheapest
insurance and as good as gold.
W. A. DAVIS.
—Quitman Advertiser.
We are glad to see that our neigh
bors are talking so kindly of The
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.
Its home Office Is in Valdosta and It
well deserves all the good things
said of it in the above letter. It is
doing the business and its office
force seem to bp the busiest people
In the city. it.
A 8UGGE8TION
To the People of Valdosta.
The articles appearing In some' of
our leading publications have creat
ed a gooi deal of discussion In Val
dosta in regard to advertised medi
cines, their reliability and power to
cure, and as a local druggist, I, A. E.
Dimmock, want to say to the people
of Valdosta that I believe one of the
most reliable medicines that we have
known in our drug experience, ex
tending over a long period, is Vinol
the cod liver preparation, made with
out oil.
Vinol Is not a patent medicine;
everything in it is printed on the
back label of every bottle, and It ac
tually does contain in a highly con
centrated form all of the meJicinal,
curative elements of cod liver oil
taken from fresh cods’ livers, and
without a drop of the system-clog
ging oil to upset the stomach and re
tard its work, and this is why It is
fast superseding old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions
Memorial of Mra. R N Fender.
Valdosta, Ga. Feb. 21st, 1906.
This is a bright, glad, beautiful
world, fragrant with the odor
flowers, tuneful with the songs
birds resplendent with the glories
of earth and sea and sky, and yet
its attractions now are, no doubt,
unnoticed by you. for grim, merci
less death has appeared in your
midst and snatched from your com
panionship one of your loved ones.
,Your sky is hung with black and
somber clouJ curtains, your vision
is o'er cast with the gloom of sor
row, and every sound that strikes
your ear has in it a cadence of dis-
pair. Without the presence of that
one who has gone before, the world
indeed, seems empty and cheerless
to. you and in your heart there Is a
dreary, dismal, aching void.
The only consolation that !s vouch
safed you Is the sweet realization of
the fact that your beloved is at rest.
The one upon whom you have lav
ished your affection is now in the
Land “where the weary are at rest.”
Bending over The open coffin, look
ing at the folded hands, which will
never clasp yours again in this world
gazing upon the closed eyes In which
you will never more see your image
reflected on this earth, your scald
ing tears fall as you realize that
your earthly companionship with
this one is forever at an end.
And, as stated before, your only
consolation is that your heart’s Idol
has heard the words from the Fath
er’s Ups, “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the
joys of thy Lord.” Your consolation
is found in a consideration of the
ft that your treasure is in Heaven.
The poor, worn frame will never
more be racked with the agonies of
pain. Suffering is at an end. But
It will only be a little while until you
wjy cross the dark river and join
your companion among the hosts of
&e saved on the Other Shore.

A Pretty Good Payroll.
The Times reporter was this morn
ing shown the pay roll of the Valdos
ta Sash and Door Factory for the six
months previous te the time of the
fire. The weekly payroll was about
$400 six months ago, but # it had
grown steadily until It was above
nine hundred dollars the first week
in December. The amount paid out
In wages from July 3rd to December
1st was $21,130, every cent of which
went to the grocerymen, drygooJs
merchants, laundries, cooks and
washerwomen of the city. As each
dollar la spent on an average of
three In the city, a payroll of that
amount tepresents a trade of not les*
than $60,000 In six months or about
$10,000 a month, which is no small
business for the city. ^

She Had a Better Test.
“I’ve just learned a new charm to
tell whether or not a man loves you,”
says the girl with the bulging pom
padour.
“What is it?” asks the girl with
the new diamond ring.
“Why, you take four or five apple
seeds and name each of them after
a particular man and place the—the |
apple seeds, I mean—on the stove
and the first one that pops Is the one
that loves you.”
“Humph!” mused the girl with the
5W. diamond ring, absent mlndedly
twisting that piece of jewelry about
her finger. “I know a surer waj
than that.”
“You do?”
“Yes, indeed. You take one par
ticular man and place him on the
sofa In the parlor and sit close to
him with the light a little low and
look up to hm attentively and if he
doesn’t pop you know it’s time to put
another man on the sofa.”
