TRY A WANT AD IN THE GEORGIAN The Underwriters' Salvage Company, of New York, which le an organisation backed by nearly ona hundred Ore In auranca companies, for the purpose of saving and realising upon the wreck age from Aren, will ehortly open an of fice In ^Atlanta and eelect a board of directors for the Southern states from among the representative underwriters of this section, which will have full charge and direction of Its affairs In the territory under the Jurisdiction of the Atlanta office. George W. Campbell, a well-known business jnan of Rome, Ga. who has In the past had much experience In the appraisal line, has been Selected as Southern general agent of the company, and la now In Atlanta completing ar rangements to opan an office here. He will have quite a force of men work ing directly under him, and It le pos sible that several branch offices or warehouses will be established, where spoiled goods will be overhauled for the material that Is In them. The,Underwriters' Salvage Company was organised to assist the companies In settling losses by making invento ries, checking and appraising stocks, taking charge of damaged goods, re moving and overhauling them pending adjustments, tn order to save greater loss, which often happens by delay In such matters. It Is often able to facil itate settlements by advancements of money when stock Is tn excess of In surance and affords also a quick mar ket for damaged gopds. The company now has a large plant at Boston. Mass., and big warerooms In New York city, with over 10,000 feet of floor space and special drying apparatus. OME STATE MUTUAL AGENTS TO ORGANIZE A movement, which Is said to have originated at Atlanta, Is now on foot. It Is stated, for_ the formation of a state society of'the Ilfs Insurance agents belonging to the forces of the State Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Rome, one of the most progressive companies now doing business In the South. The company has several hun dred representatives In all parts of the state. The Alabama agents of the com pany at a meeting last week formed a state organization, which will meet as a body several times a year for social and business advancement of their common Interests. At the ban quet following the meeting which was held at Birmingham President Porter, of the company, was the guest of honor and several other officers of the com pany were present NE W RAIL WA Y FOLLO WS BED OF DESERTED ROAD 0“ v - x of VER the original roadbed of one America a party of engineers the first railways built tn and a force of laborers sre grading tbs way lor a modern railroad. Inciden tally, they expect to provide railway t ran* port at Ion to one of the beet har bors on the gulf coast and to bring to life a eummer reeort which flourished and died generations ago. On the southern coast of Florida, al most due south of Atlanta and but a short distance from the Apalachicola rlvsr. Is St. Josephs bay, a body of ■alt voter landlocked by a long pro tecting arm. safe from storm at sea and deep enough to float modem ships of commerce. No railroad touches the bay today. There was one seventy years sgo, but nothing remains of It but fragments of rotted.ties and occa sional strips of ths thin Iron platw used as the rail of the period. The great railway systems have overlooked the Importance of the bay, but a St. Louis syndicate has grasped the oppor tunity and la building to the' deep water port. The Apalachicola Northern le the name of the new road and the Moray Engineering and Construction Com pany la at work, grading the right-of- way. Three-fourths of this work is completed and track-laying will follow rapidly. The road will be open for traffic by January 1 of next year. Rich ard Morey, a young engineer and con tractor, la supervising the work. He Is president of the company and E. A. Faulhaber, another young man, but ex perienced In railroad finance. Is vice- president A wealthy St. Louis eorpo ration la paying the bills. One of First Railroads. Probably not ona railroad man In a hundred remembers that one of the first railroads built In the United States, tha aecond In the Sotdh, was the St. Joseph, built In lift from SL Joseph to Iola, a point on the Apa lachicola river. The roed was about thlrty-flve miles long and the track was bsallt of thin Iron strips nailed to the top of wooden stringers. It was n construction which would be laughed at today, but It served for the light equipment of the time. In those days the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola rivers wars the outlet for Georgia cotton, floated down the riv er* to the gulf. The port at She mouth of the river was not deep enough for large vessels, and freights were light ered out to sea by small boats, a te dious process. But Just west lay St. Josophs bay, and soma pioneer cap tain of Industry conceived the Idea of utilizing the new steam railroad, then In Its Infancy. Materials were brought round by ship, the road was built and a puffing little locomotive drew the cot ton of Georgia from the river to the bay, where ships from the gulf rode at anchor In a deep harbor. The road did a thriving business for while, but other railroads sprung up In northern Georgia and the cotton trade was diverted In another direc tion. Exports from St. Joseph dimin ished and the little road was aban doned. The engineers of today are laying their roadbed over miles of ady gi.uli'd i lx lit -of-way, digging up III i"--ing nuliie tha half-burled frag ent» of that i loneer road. Grim trees hare gr.mii between the rraestlea In many places all f seventy years ugo of the old rot traces of the la obliterated Famous Summsr Resort. And not only St. Joseph, tha bay. but St. Joseph, the town, may sprfhg Into new Ilfs whan tin- (run wand of Indus try waves over It. More than half century ago "SL Jo”—as the town wa* called—was a noted watering place. Hundreds of wealthy planters found their way to the coast for the heated months. Summer homes sprung up, there wes a hotel ns famous In Its day As "Old White" In Virginia was to the planters of that section. There was a splendid beach beyond tha point, theta waa mint to be had In plenty, and thre Was never a lack of society. But St. Joseph fell Into disrepute In later years. The painters boarded the new steam cars for other resorts. The town be cams noted aa tha haunt of gamblers and gained the reputation of being tha "toughest place In the South." The fact that It waa the scene of the first constitutions! convention held in Flor Ida did not redeem It. The town of "SL Jo" has vanished with Jha planters and the railroad and only a few cabins mark the scene of former gayety. lint with the coming of the railroad It Is hoped to restore, the resort to something of Its old-time fame. The beach and the surf are still there—the brasses are as fresh and tha water aa clear aa fifty years ago. That tha new railroad may become an Important factor In transportation to tha gulf can be refdlly seen by a study of the map. It extends from St. Joseph through tha city of A pa lachlcola tn River Junction, a distance of about 100 miles. At River Junction are terminals of the Atlantic Coast Line, the Seaboard Air Line end the Louisville and NaahYllle railways and the new Apalachicola Northern railroad will furnish an Independent outlet for these systems to A natural harbor of splendid advantages. The construction of tha Panama canal has brought new Importance to porta on tha gulf, and tha promoters of the road atata that St. Joseph la the nearest port tn the renal. It Ilea directly north of Panama. St. Josephs bay la about alx mils* wide and twenty miles long. Its depth In about forty fast, while a vessel draw. Ing twenty-fdur feet may pass aver the bar, at high tide. No streams flow Into the bay and no sediment from tha up lands Is deposited In the bay to render constant dredging necessary. Tha new road paaaes through a sec tion wealthy In virgin pine. The tlm her has been scarcely touched, Its dis tance from transportation facilities protecting It. Tha company controlling the road has acquired several hundred thousand arras of these timber lands. "The road la being built as an Inde pendent project,’’ said Mr. Faulhaber. n discussing his plans. "It Is not a | part of any other system and Is not be- ng built at tha direction of any other system. Of course I cannot say whsthsr or not some other road will eventually purchase It. It Is a valuable piece of | property." INSURANCE PERSONALS lightning lowers bell FROM CHURCH STEEPLE. Special to The Georgian.

A form of Insurance which la found very helpful In soma parts of Europe, and which, If Introduced Into Georgia, would be of great benefit to fanners, Is frost Insurance. One French com pany does a tremendous business In Ibis line, end has branches In Ger many, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Holland and Belgium. It losuros all k'lida of crops and tha premiums vnty In accordance with tha meteorological conditions which prevail In the country where the Insurance Is placed. Crops of all kinds may be protected by this form of Indemnity, although whan a crop la written up It la never Insured to tha full extant of Its value, aa la the case In some clnasaa of flru Insurance. Tha farmer him/elf cintf- quently has to bear some pert of tha loss. This Insurance la mostly used to protect fruit crops and the morn deli cate kinds of products. In Franoe tha vineyards often suffer heavily from lata freeses, and It la there that the com pany does tha most of Its business. An effort has been made to gat this com pany to operate In Brazil, where the coffee crops sometimes suffer from bad weather. It has bean suggested that some form of Insurance similar to this might be used to protect the cotton planters from loss through the boll weevil and other damages, but to be f iractlrable It would have to be put nto operation over practically all the cotton growing states. INSURANCE SOLICITORS MAY BE TAXED $2001 Atlanta local agents are vitally In terested In tha probable decision of tho tax board next week, aa to whether so licitors of ths various kinds of Insur ance are to be classed aa brokers and taxed accordingly with tha fee of 8200 required under the city tax ordinance.

On the other hand, all tha solicitors operating at present In Atlanta, do so under a special arrangement with some one local agent, who. In his turn, pays the taxes on each business according to tha amount of premium end In ad dition pays his own license fee for operating si an agent. ~ ' claimed that to tax tha a ____ _ turn would be to Inflict an oner ous double taxation, which would In Jura tha business, besides compelling many worthy persona who make a liv ing by soliciting to give up tbla means of livelihood, as they wouia not bo able to pay the required 1300.
