TEE MACON TJLLEGJRAFBi THUESDAY MOKNING, MARCH 24. 1898,
INSURANCE MEN GONE.
They Elected Officers Yester
day Morning.
OBJECTS OF ASSOCIATION.
AN IMPORTANT BRANCH OP THE
STATE’S COMMERCE.
Macon Was Selected ns Headquarters
and the Fxecutlv.o Committee Meet
ings Will Bo Held Hero—Social
Pleasure Interspersed Business *
The' Insurance men have adjourned,
and most of them have gone to their
homes.
While here the local Insurance men
did everything possible to make the
stay of the visitors pleasant, and many
of them went away regretting that they
could not stay longer. Notwithstand
ing the pleasant time the Insurance
men had, however, they did not forget
business, and all of them are satisfied
with what was done. *
The insurance men of Georgia form
one of the strongest branches of the
state's commerce, and heretofore they
have been without organization. This
was the first meeting of the kind ever
held in the state, and in fact, was the
first time the local agents ever got to
gether and discussed plans for their
mutual benefit. In some manner the
erroneous Impression prevailed that the
object of the organization was to in-..'
crease the rates of Insurance, but as a
matter of fact, the object was Just the
reverse. The agents state that their
Interests are Identical with the Inter
ests of the people of Georgia, and there
fore 1 anything that helps the people
helps them. One of them, In speaking
on this point, said it never did help
an agent to have the tariff increased,
as it only inured to a reduction of poli
cies, and consequently a corresponding
decrease in the premiums paid. They
assert most postively that the object
of the organization is the protection of
the assured and to promote better prac
tices among the underwriters of the
state. They hope to correct the custom
of people outside the state owning prop
erty in the etate placing their insurance
In outside companies, thus depriving
the state of the tax on the premiums.
They think all of the property In Geor
gia should be Insured in companies rep
resented In the state, so that the tax
could be collected by the county and
municipal governments.
Another object of the organization
Is to be united in case legislation should
be wanted. Heretofore each agent or
company has been compelled to fight
alone for any kind of legislation wanted
but in future the agents will be pre
pared to make ithe fight as an orgnnt -.
zation. The meeting was called to or
der ' yesterday morning at 10 o’clock,
with about fifty delegates present. They
represented all of the eompanie doing
business in Georgia, and it was truly
a representative body of men. The
principal business transacted at this
session was the election of officers,
Which resulted as follows:
• President—F. W. Cole, Atlanta.
First Vice-President—R. E. Allen
Augusta.
Second Vice-President—Geo. R. Tur
pin, Macon.
Secretary and Treasurer—Merrell P.
Callaway, Macon.
Executive Committee—W. P. Patlllo,
‘Atlanta: H. Horne, Macon; R. M. Hull,
Savannah:. Rhodes Brown, Columbus;
R. H. Drake, Griffin; O. H. McWill
iams, Rome; J. D. Carswell, Savan
nah.
The annual dues were placed at $2,
nnd every agent in the state Is invited
to Join. All who desire to avail them
selves of the benefits of the organiza
tion are invited tio semt theii” napies to
the secretary Mr. M. P. Callaway, at
Macon.
The meetings of the executive com
mittee will be held at Macon.
The Invitation of Savannah to hold
the next meeting in that city was ac
cepted, subject to the approval of the
executive committee.
A unanimous vote of thanks was ten
dered the local underwriters for the
manner in which they bad entertained
the visiting agents.
Macon was selected as the headquar
ters 1 for the Btate organization.
All of the agents who attended the
meeting are highly pleased with what
was dene, and the organization starts
out under the highest and most prom
ising auspices.

LOCKE IT l « 8» HIS SUIT.
The Jury Stood 11 to 1 In Favor of tho
ltefemient Company.
In the city court yesterday the Jury
decided that Jim Lockett, the one-
legged murder and life convict, was not
entitled to any money as damages from
the Central railroad for the loss of his
if*.
Lockett wanted live thousand dollars’
damages for the pain and suffering and
loss of time caused by the accident, but
from the llmt ballot In the Jury loom
the men favored finding in favor of the
railroad, while only one expressed the
opinion that the negro was entitled to
nnythlng.
It was a peculiar case and involved a
novel question. Lockett was run against
and knocked down by a Central rail
road train some time ago. He was not
employed by the road, but was stand
ing near the track talking to a woman
when the train approached. Instead of
getting out of the way in time, lie was
teo deliberate about It and the accident
resulted.
He brought milt against the road for
$5,000. While the suit was pending he
became enraged at old man Freeman,
an aged negro living In Lockett’s por
tion of the city, and taking his rifle he
went to the old man’s house and shot
him down while the old man was pray
ing for mercy. It was a clear case of
brutal murder, but as Lockett had but
one leg the jury took pity on him and
recommended that he he sent to the
penitentiary for life. Lockett was indif
ferent as to what the Jury did with him
at the time of the trial, but he did not
want a new trial, being sure that he
could not hope for a better verdict than
he had received. He clung to his suit
against tlhe Central railroad for the
Ions of his leg. and the matter was dis
posed of yesterday, when the Jury re
fused to allow him a penny for the
damage he had sustained. The Jury was
not out very long, for as soon as the
ease was talked over a few moments the
dissenting Juror agreed to tho verdict
In favor of the ratiroad.
In charging the jury Judge Iloss
treated the case very ntueh as if Lockett
had never appeared before a court be
fore, and In Instructing the Jury a*-to
how they should determine who;
amount he coukl recover for pain arl
suffering, if he could recover at all, the
court made no reference to the fa:t
that the plaintiff was a life convict. AS
a matter of fact, Lockett's conviction of
murder was not allowed to enter Into
the civil suit, except for the purpose of
■Drawing whether or not bis testimony
was worthy of belief.

Question—Specnlatlon na to now
Ho Will Unodlo the Donation.
The annoum-oment of Hon. John
Tempi© Graves' lecture at Wesleyan, to-

of interest throughout the city. It is
known tlhat Mr. Graves is quite liberal 4n
bis views, and it is thought 1-hnt he will
devote n portion of his time Friday night
to nn advodtey of woman suffrage. It
thin Is the ease, the Macon people will
be given an opportunity of hearing the
■•other ride" of this interesting question.
Muoon beard Rev. Tom Dixon In, opposi
tion to extending .the suffrage at Mercer
last winter, nnd Mr. John Roach Straton
on the conservative middle ground at
Wesleyan a few months ago, and now
Mr. Gtttves comes to advocate tits other
ItoHcy.
Rut title discussion of the suffrage
question is oniy a pact of 'the lecture.
It is paid that ’The Twentieth Century
Woman” is the most perfect and evenly
balivnved lecture before the American
people. A gentleman who has heard it
elsewhere raid of it yesterdOtf:
"It ubounds with.' most delightful
humor, fct brilliant in wit and abaolutely
captlu iting In the charm of its wonder
ful eloquence."
The lAugula find.) Daily News says:
"Featien, >» Jeremiah the prophet, res.
olute as Martin Luther, the famous
Southern orator, John Temple Graves
wins 'til hearts, captivates nil Imagina

The Cleveland (O.) Leader©:

SHOWED THEIR TRAINING.
MERCER AGAIN WENT DOWN BE
FORE THE ORIOLES,
McGrow’s Good Training Was Clearly
Soon nnd the Hoys Played Good Ball,
Will Play Again Tomorrow After
noon-How tho Score Stood.
The trf.nie of ball between Mercer and
the Baltimore team yesterday afternoon
clearly demonstrated that die Mercer
boys hiavo profited by the Instructions
given them by McGraw of tbs Balti
more team.
On account of recitations oil ot the
Mercer Hearn could not participate in
the game and three of the professionals
played on their aide. Thla of course
greatly strengthened their team and
made the regular •professional team play
for all they were worth.
The attendance was rather small, not
Mr. Ed O'Oonuell umpired the game
over 200 people being in the grand aland,
and gave' the tutu-cat MileOactlon to
both teams. At the eml of the eighth
Inning ho called the game on account
ot darkness.
The Orioles aro making the best of
tho fine wearher they have for prac
tice. It is the best weather they have
ever had while practicing previous to
the opening of the season, and Mana
ger Hanlon is delighted. He has crit
ically observed the work of each player
and is satisfied that he has made no
mistake In the make up of hvs team. Ho
knows a ball player when he sees him,
and although some ot his men have not
"toted fair!' with him and are sulking,
he will not be dependent on them, ns
the moil who are heie have proven to be
all that he thought they were.
Te. Orioles give fine 'promise of lead
ing the league In ba.tt.ng this year, as
every man on the team has done some
astonishing stick work. All of them are
young men, however, and are active
and quick.
The Orioles will practlve today, but
no match game will be played. Tomor
row afternoon they will again play the
Mercer team, end Mercer expects to put
up the best gafbe she has yet played, as
the boys have learned much under Mc-
Graw's teaching. Yesterday's game re

In the afternoon ycutcndiay Dr. Bach
man's subject In- *h5s zerrootn at Trtttaoll
Square Presbyterian <.-hunvh was the
opening of tho oyes of ithe blind man
recorded in tho 9th chapter of the Qoepel
by John.
Faith -aippeams to be a favorite theme
with -this eminently pious servant of
God. The blind man implicitly obeyed
the dlreotloaa of the Saviour ami re
ceived the inewtaKtoto boon of els'ht
•without nuking for it. “We cannot,”
saild the doctor, “have faith in nuyone
we do not know; therefore, if we would
have faith In God tho FMfoer uud Ills
Son our Saviour, we -miwt eoek to know
them, land then we can hope to receive
the bleating* He 'promise* to bestow on
the lovingly obedient to Him.”
The night service •waw t>cgun by to-
questirvg the congregation to Join heartily
in singing the old familiar hymu ”How
Firm a Foundation Ye Sahyiti of the
Lin'd.” He wa-id this wa» the flnst hymn
he remembered to bare heard, ami the
vocivi often enoie hack to his memory
of his uged parents sitting together in
the old church and binging the*; beauti
ful limr* whkh was doue yiat might with
a pntho* and power indescribable.
Lneteud of reading a chapter, Dr.
Buohma-u requested that -all who would
should repeat a vense or two of Scripture
from memory. Many embrac'd the op
portunity of doing so. >H&» text wits in
the Gospel of John 4th chanter mid 14tli
verse, and he requested tU hearers to
turn to their Bibles and feud the whole
chapter tor {hemwlveb. as it would do
them good mild teach them more about
Jceus.
The scene was Jacob’s well and the
occtvtion -the interview with the woman
of Samaria. He spoke of the a*ll suisfy-
ing snlvatiou by Jesus Christ, of the
■many times He wilt* symboUzcd by water
in Scripture. As water was indispensible
to -h'umr-n life end all life, so the sulv.i-
t4o» of Christ la to the life of the
for there is no salvation in any other.
We oiunot save ountelves. Our efforts
in this direction are like residents of
Extern coumtrits preparing cisterns to
■receive water during the rainy s«\tsou,
expecting to find it there when a drouth
came on, bat on opening it found it hud
cricked nnd the water was gone.
At the close he requested every Chrin-
>;ian In -the Chtir^h who was willing to
pledge himself to try to live .1 better
life iu the future I’hun in the past to
come up and give him and the other
ministers their bind. In the congreguiun
were Christians of *11 denomination*—
young, middle aged and old—and oil
crowded forward to do as requested. Il
was an enthusiastic throng end a sceue.
never to be forgotteu.
This sfteroooo at 4 o’clock the service
will bo for children, but nil, old nnd

rents show their Interest In the future
of their children by crowding the church.
