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 -IMPORTANT! NOW IS YOUR TlflE TO MAKE MONEY. Money Saved is Money Made, Our Enclosed Price-List Will Tell You All About It.

RACKET STORE, Smith – Baker, Prop’rs CORDELE, GEORGIA, flAY 31, 1899. The Cordele Sentinel. 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. Do you want a remedy for Fis tula or Foot Evil in stock ?

J 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. Judge T. A. Musselwhite, of the Piuia ict, gave the Si '?■ a r> call Monday.

His corn and cotton did not suffer du ring the recent drought, and he never felt, better over the prospects for a good crop.
