THE SOLDIERS’ HOME WILL BE RE
BUILT.
The destruction of the Soldiers’
Home on last Monday,30th Septem
ber, was complete and seventy one
of the inmates were made homeless
It presented a difficult problem for
the trustees to solve for the instant,
but the Atlanta Journal nobly, pa
triotically and generously came to
the relief of all. In a few hours th°
Journal had them comfortably
housed in a large hotel in Atlanta
which was rented for that purpose
at the Journal's expense.
Of course the president of the
board of trustees would have found
means to fix them comfortably 7 , |out
and now the judge advocate Lem
ley’s sister was burned to death.
A Brooklyn girl encircled the
world alone and did not need a
chaperone or guard. Certainly; what
peril would tackle a Brooklyn wo
man ? Why, evan a Japanese earth
quake would hesitate.
The Soldier’s Home will be rebuiil
and on a different plan. The insur
ance is about $21,000 It will require
$25,000 or $30,000 to put it back prop
erly, and the people of Georgia will j
furnish the amount necessary.
The quarrel between Paul Dana
of the N-. Y. Sun and Hearst of the
N. Y. Journal is a lively tilt, but
there is no doubt the Journal has
Dana well pillorid. Dana will not
fight Hodgson who called him a liar
and the Journal tells Dana of it
every day.
Selfishness is the great overseer rf
human individuality. It is cruel and
mean ia its excesses and as it exists
is the bane of human progress. With
all its good purposes perverted it is
a gioomy wail around the hearts of
men holding back the moral ad
vance of mankind through all ages
plexing as the board was scattered
over the state and had to be calied
together while the responsibility-
rested entirely on Judge Calhoun,
the president.
A report went out that only $10,000
of insurance was on the building.
That was a mistake. It amounted
to $21,500, which will go a great way
to replace it. Already $5,000 has
been subscribed and the people of
Georgia is coming to the rescue
The money will be made up. There
is not another state that can boast
of the noble manner in which the
great Empire State of the South
built the first home and she will not
lag in the business of providing for
her old heroes who have been de
prived by accident of this asylum.
Burke must do her pari. She has
never failed yet to do it.
Subscriptions sent to The Citi
zen will be duly acknowledged and
forwarded to Judge Calhoun, presi
dent board of trustees, Soldiers’
Home, Atlanta.
GOOD ROADS AND AUTOMOBILES,
It becomes more and more appar
ent that we need good roads. The
, farming interest need it more f h n
, all other interest. The fact that cu-
j tomobiies will be utilized to move
i freights and save the farmer ibe
i rates that have robbed him of so
| much of the profit of (he farm,
j makes it necessary (hat good dirt
! roads should pervade t veiy com
munity.
The plan is discussed in many
places of employing automobiles for
hauling cotton to market. The
scheme is entirely practical. An au
tomobile truck 13 made that will
carry twenty bales anti puli a car
with twenty more at a rate of about
twenty miles an hour over dirt road
properly constructed.
Practically one-third of the freight
on a bale of cotton, if not more,could
be saved in going a distance of 30
miles—say to Augusta. To Savan
nah via the Savannah river more
than half freight can be saved. This
is simply on th9 item of cottou
alone. In a short time there will be
a radical change in the common
carrying business. Railroads will
find competitors that twelve months
ago were not thought at all danger
ous.
Here in Waynesboro one of our
best business men will introduce
the subject and if the county au
thorities will look after the roads,
the automobiles will soon be au ac
complished fact for th9 benefit of
the farming interest more than
auv other.

Oct. 2.—Death has visited our lit

our best Christians. Last Saturday
morning when the sad Dews of Mr
Tom Chance’s death spread ovei
our community there were many

we did not know the end was so
near. He was intered in the ceme
tery at Lawtouviile. He had many
friends, judging from the immense
crowd that was at hia funeral. Rev
J. N. Hudson officiated Mr. Chance
w as held in high esteem by all iba
all that knew him. He leaves par

friends to mourn his loss. He g.-iv
every evidence of his acceptance of

In Wfcat Ct.mpaDy Shall I Insaro? j
‘ So many have written us, asking .
us So tell them plainly which com 1
pany is the be.- t to insure in, that i
we have been investigating the!
mailer thoroughly.
‘To thousands of readers of this;
paper ike above question will no!
doubt be oi interest. It is intended, I
however, that the inform;-.tiuu here |
in contained shall, in keeping with i
he generui policy of thi-, paper, be i
of real practical value to each
reader, and especially thos9 who in
tend to protect their loved ones.
To lhe latter a question of consui-
crabie importance is, ‘which is the
Debt company to insure iri?’ We
appreciate fully the great difficulty
the ordinary business man finds in
obtaining a trulbiul and correct
answer to that question.
In 1 he first place, he himself is not
acquainted with the relative merits
of the various companies, and there
fore cannot decide for himself
Second, he can not rely upon ine
opinions of others, as they like him
self, may be unacquainted with the
merits of the other companies, or be
prejudiced in favor of the one he is,
insured in, or have a selfish interest
by means of a commission from au
agent in making his reeommenda
tion. Third, he can not lake his
choice by reading printed circular*
of companies, since one and ali be
lieve tney are right and justified in
saying so, and claim their respective
plans are the very best.
“Fourth, be cannot expect to have
his questions answered by any
journal devoted Jo this line, because
n doing so such journal would com
mit financial suicide, since all cotn-
nanies except the one given the
first piace as best would withdraw
their advertising patronage. He
could, of course, receive from any
such paper an opinion, couched in
the non-committal terms, ‘such a
company Is one of the best.’ As
this answer would apply in turn to
all, the Information thereby obtain
ed would be of no benefit.
“We write advisedly upon this
point, having conducted a most
searching examination of almost all
iife insurance companies, studying
their various forms of contracts and
tables of rates, their annual state
mc-nts and detailed reports. As our
efforts to serve our readers by giv-
iug the plain facts without the
slightest touch of prejudice were
made without the knowledge of any
life insurance company’ officials or
agents whose statements, figures
and contracts were undtr examina
tion, the fairness of the investiga
tion can not be questioned, nor th.
value of this report estimated too
highly, for this is probably the firs 1
time a trades magazine of standing
and influence has gone into Ihe
matter in a thoroughly practical
and. unprejudiced manner. As a
result of this investigation, we un
hesitatingly assert that the best
company in which to insure is the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insur
ance Co., Milwaukee, Wis.
The policies of this company dis
play many features whose excel
lence render a special mention o!
tiie same a matter that can not
fairly be ignored This company
recognizes life insurance as an un
avoidable duty to one’s family; but
a man’s “duty to protect his fam
ily by its policy fixes axiomatically
the company’s duty to make that
policy secure to ihem beyond all
question just so far as the premiums
he pays will permit, and here is
no element of speculation in the
contract which may cause the loss
by them of any part of their pro
tection. The company’s economy
is proverbial, and it seeks new bus
iness only ou a favorable basis, li
prosecutes absolutely legitimate
life insurance best adapted to its
only legitimate purpose —family
protection —by equitable contracts,
ee from speculation, with the
greatest care and economy, on a
more conservative basis as to sol
vency than any other company,
backed by a financial strength at
least unsurpassed. It aims to give
absolute family protection, with ab
solute certainty and equity, at the
lowest attainable cost consistent
with reliable insurance. It offers
no ingenious, speculative, and there
fore tempting novelties in the name
of life insurance. We do not call
attention to these significant fea
tures iu a spirit of detraction cf
oilier reputable life insurance com
panies, but upon its own high
merits alone wo bestow the praise
justly due.
In consequence, we unhesitat
ingly advi-c our correspondents
and all who are interested to in
sure in this company in preference
to all others.” — United States Trade
Reports.
