FIRE AGENTS SHOULD UNITE.
Complaints That Bates are Too High.
If True, Why So?
There is some complaint among
the business men and property
owners in Cordele that the rate of
fire insurance is not kept down in
proportion to the fire protection,
and it appears that in two or three
instances which have come to light
that the complaint is well founded.
It will be remembered that two
or three years ago there was much
talk and a great deal done to re
duce the rate of insurance on all
property in Cordele. The mayor
and council went to the extra ex
pense of getting a fire bell, a hook
and ladder outfit, of adding new
hose, cut-off nozzles, extra boiler
at the pumping station, and other
improvements such as good volun
teer fire companies.
As a result, the basis rate of in
surance was changed from that of
a fourth class town to that of a
second class, which has saved hun
dreds of dollars in reduced premi
ums to the policy-holders on all
property located within 500 feet
of a fire plug.
For example, an unexposed
dwelling located within 500 feet
of a fire plug was no longer one
dollar per year for each one hun
dred dollars insurance, but same
was reduced from one dollar to
seventy-five cents. The same is
true to a larger extent as to the
different business enterprises.
There are a few instances to which
attention has been called, where
business enterprises enjoying all
the advantages offered by Cor
dele’s water protection, haye been
rated as if not enjoying the privi
lege of this protection, and neces
sarily the policy-holder is out a
great many dollars, which pos
sibly he should not be out.
We presume the fire agents

have not especially noticed these
discrepancies, and it can be seen
that for lack of sufficient inform
ation to the Tariff Association
that the association, which always
takes advantage of defects or sup
posed defects in a risk if not. ex
plained by the agent not to be a
defect, that it overlooked and is
not at fault; but tln-re is one who
never overlooks a raise in rate and
that is he who pays the premiums,
supports the agents and the
companies.
Now it appears from this reas
oning that nobody is at fault, and
yet somebody must be, for some
body else is suffering. It is not
the object of this article to jump
on anybody, or to particularize
any enterprise as being imposed
upon; but we use for example, The
Cordele Sash Door and Lumber
Company’s planing mill; if this
concern is to receive any benefit
from being within 50 feet of a
plug, and other advantages of our
water supply, then there should be
a difference in a basis rate of fifty
cents a hundred or five dollars per
thousand, else the improved lire
department is a failure.
In the past there has been a lack
of organization on the part of the
looal fire agents, which no doubt
accounts largely The for irregularity
in rates. fire agents should
unite. The Tariff Association not
only anticipates thia but requires failed
it.; yet, the agents here have
to organize as they should. These
agents should organize at once,
guarantee to every citizen the best
rate he is entitled to, and an agent
who does not and will not. co-op
erate in a complete organization
of this kind should not remain an
agent, to say the least. We be
lieve it is only necessary and to this call
attention to these things
is the object of this article.

SUPERIOR COURT NEXT WEEK
John Hanaway Attempts an Assault on
a 14-year old Girl.
Quite a crowd gathered around
the county jail at Vienna Monday
when it was learned that John
Hanaway, a well-known character
and half idiot, attempted an as*
sauIt on the person ot Miss Christ
mas, a 14-year-old girl, a daugh
ter of a prominent planter who
lives about, tour miles fromVienna.
The young girl with two nr three
other girls was in the woods when
seen by Hanaway, but before he
could accomplish his purpose he
was frightened away. When the
girls reported the case, men went,
in pursuit,lie was promptly arrest
ed and taken to jail through the
excitement, of the neighborhood.
A crowd gathered about the jail
and exhibited signs of willingness
to protect the honor of their coun
try. Cool heads prevailed and the
crowd dispersed with the promise
that if the men would stay their
hands the judge would be asked to
call a special term of court and
give the prisoner a speedy trial.
Alter dark it was discovered tha.t
a crowd had assembled near the
jail yard and desired admission to
the presence of the prisoner. The
jail door was open and men walk
ed in but John was not there.
The sheriff, fearing a lynching,
rushed Hanaway off to Valdosta
jail to remain until he is brought
back for trial.
Judge Littlejohn has adjourned for
Sumter superior court next
week and has called a special term
of Dooly superior court to convene
next Monday for the purpose of
trying John Hanaway.
