NEWS OF INTEREST TO MEN WHO WRITE POLICIES, AND CHRISTMAS FIRE WARNING The approach of Christiana I* nltvays recorded with more or less npprehen- alnn by lire Irtauranpe men, on nrcount of the elaborate but tnfiammable ills, rl ivs Which many stores make of the holiday roods. The greater part of such area start In show' windows, par ticularly those where electric lights are used lavishly and which are not dust proof. A' set of excellent rules for the guidance of merchants In making Christians displays safe from the dan cers of nrn Is given as follows by Fire Marshal. Creamer: Never use swinging gas brackets. Don't decorate, with straw, leaves or paper. Don't use cotton to Imitate snow, anywhere. Don't use electric wires as lines to hang displays on. Don't fall to put out smokers nr their tigers. ■ Don't use arc lights without ■park arresters. Don't have any light •wltlmut a globe or wire screen. Don't «ut off ventilation from thr show win dows. or the heat from electric bulbs may become strong enough to set lire. Dont put Inflammable stuff ugalnst nn electric light socket or bulb.

Don’t block nlrles «ur exits .with displays, to Increase the ■lunger from fire panic. Don't fall, If 'you have a department store, to test -The fire apparatus and havo your extra •* !arki participate In a fire drill.

He rare- tful about exposing celluloid to heat. 2n a store at Waldo, last month, n bundle of celluloid combs exploded jfrcni having a lamp placed two test below them. It Is well, also, to re member that If any electric displays art to be used, they must be Inspect ed and approved by a competent In- ■I ector or the Are Insurance policies ,m the premises will be void under their conditions. Still Paying to Frisco. Fire Insurance companies are still paying losses at Kan Francisco, ul- .though the majority have cleared up all their liabilities there. A few figures i from the recent special reporta of the companies Illustrate the tremendous drain which the lire insurance capital fit this country and Great Britain has been called upon to sustain. .The fol- Insurance Company, ns rccelvor ap pointed by the courts of that stale, left Atlanta iin Friday without accomplish ing hfo purpose, ns the securities are all In the hands of Receiver John M.

The Alabama - * h »* «* the Atlanta R!rtn)rtgtiani ! wak chartered under- the Inws of that state, they have the right to the administration of the compoliy's n(fairs, but the Georgia claimants feel otherwise and an Interesting legal struggle seems to be In prospect unless nn agreement can be made for a Joint receivership, which seems probable. Mr. Bvxtqn will return to Atlanta Bat- urdny. Big Bond In Metropolitan. The executrix of the estate of J. M.

Jackson, It la stated, has not ni yet decided to remain with the Fidel ily, hut It Is probable that he will do so, although he has received many flattering offera from other companies to tnke up work for them In this field.

Riley & Co., to Fred C. Robin son & Company. Tho transfer was brought about by the application of the Kagle for membership in the Southeastern Tariff Association, uml, under the rulea of membership In that body, the company cannot be repre sented tn any agency whero more than 15 per rent commission Is paid for buslneaa by any company, os the uni form commission rule Is the founda tion atone of the association.

It was not until today that .Mr. Jackson allowed his name to be used In connec tion with the construction of the pro posed road. The Augusta-Alken line, which was built by Air. Jackson, has proved to ho a great success and the success which attended Ills efforts In this will lead him to construct a line of electric rail way of much greater pro|iortlons.

Special to The Georgian. Columbus, Oa., Dec. 8.—The fifth case of sudden death among the ne groes of this city tn the past few weeks occurred yesterday when Ous Golden, an old negro men, dropped dead on Sixth afreet about noon. In, its report, the auditing commit tee of the Central Juvenlla Protectory Association, paya the following com pliment to the work of Rev. Crawford Jackson, chairman . of thfc committee, and his assistants; The special committee appointed for the purposes above Indicated, begs to report to the Central Juvenile Protect ory Association and other friends of the cause, that It has carefully exam ined the books of the committee, nnd find them Intelligently nnd properly kept. The work outlined has been con scientiously nnd faithfully pushed, through the special Instrumentality of Air. Crawford Jackson, the chairman of the committee, and his employed as sistants, nnd the work tins been done at a minimum coat; that la to nay. with commendable economy. We And that the work has been pressed In ev ery quarter of the South, and that a very considerable Interest tn the move ment has been aroused throughout all sections; that at a grant many points tho movement looking to the estab lishment of Juvenile courts has arntfli- cd special Interest, nnd voluntary Juve nile courts have been established. We believe that the entire rountry is being educated In the direction of the establishment of juvenlla courts nnd protectories and that the work of the committee, through Its official chair man.

C/7 Y PAY ENVELOPES SHO W QUEER RANGE IN SALARIES; MIGHT YLITTLE FOR MA YOR Who holds the most. Important posi tion In the city government? CLIFFORD L. ANDERSON, J. L. ANDERSON, l-'RANK EASTMAN, Auditing Committee. TO FORCE RECOGNITION OF NEW RAILROAD. McRae, Dec. 8.—Tho abort line nt railroad that waa built nome time ago from the Southern railway at McRae to the Seaboard Air Line haa been re organized. and the new management haa put it Into operation. The difficulty that haa been In the way for nome time In getting connection with thene two great Southern nyntemn, but that now I* annured. Two loaded earn have been pushed over the road and tendered to the Southern railway, and unless they permit the connection with their track. It la stated litigation will be Instituted under the recent Interstate commerce acts. ANGRY BECAUSE CORPSE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM Who Is looked upon as the head ,of the city government? On whom lies the mbst responsibility and to whom goes the moat blame If anything Is nmtsa during hla term of office? Everybody knows what the proper answer Is. The mayor, of course. His is the position of most honor, of most Importance, and of most ■ responsibil ity. And this Is why the question Is naked: “Why should he not get the most pay?' As a matter of fact, there are ten officials who receive as nulch pay for their services, under the present salary- system, as the mayor. At the meeting of council Thuraday, called especially tn consider the proposed raises In sal ary, one of the atrongest arguments ad vanced for this raise, was to mako the heads of departments of equnl Im portance get equal pay, but no move was made to havo the head of tho whole administration get more than the head or a single depaiiment. Lett Than Fire Chief, The mayor gets 93,005. The chief of the fire department for the last ten years has been getting 94,000, free house rent, and other conceaslons. This has been remarked not because this was too much for the chief, but because It is thought the former amount was too little for the mayor. The city attorney gets 93,000, the same as the mayor. The qlty comp troller gets the same. The city dork gets the tame, The tax collector gets the same. The superintendent of wa terworks gets the same. Likewise,' the city engineer and the chief of police, commissioner of public works and the recorder. It la pointed out that "Cap" Joyner resigned a position, with the pay of 94,000 a year, to accept the highest position In the city government, that of mayor, and thnt he will get 31.000 less I-ay. Mayor Woodward, having twice been mayor, was asked for a statement 1n regard to the apparent Inconsistency tn the pay of tbe chief executive of the city government, ns compared with the heads of subordinate departments. “Looke Inconsistent.” "1 can have no personal Interest in this now,’ said ths mayor, “as my ad ministration closes In Just a few- weeks, and any change In the salary of the mayor can’t possibly affect me any mnre than It does any other dtlsen of Atlanta. 'it does seem Inconsistent to me, though, to give all these men as much as the mayor. Not that they don't deserve what they get, but If they do, then the mayor deserves more. Why, Macon. not half the site of Atlanta, nm- hulf so rich, puys her mayor ns much as Atlanta. 'I say the mnyor ought to be the highest paid official of the city, ami any reasonable inan will bear me out, ! think. I am down on record as hav ing advocated this, so no surprises are due. "The mayor of Atlanta ought to get MISSIONARY LEAGUE SESSION WILL CLOSE ON SUNDAY EVENING 93,000 a year, und lie ought to be re- Special to The Georgian. Macon, Ga., Dec. 8.—Th*wol k of the qeorgla Students' Missionary League will close for this session on Sunday. Today Is the, most Interesting an! largely attended of the session.
