THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1884.???TWELVE PAGES. OUR ANTI-LIQUOR FIGHT, [We solicit short letters giving the evil effects of liquor in communities, as witnessed by the writers. We don't care for arguments. Wo want facts and figures. Send them In, mothers, fathers, wives, sons, everybody, and help in the tight against this terrible and growin gevil.J The prediction of Geuernl Neal Dow that prohibition will soon become an accomplished fact in all English speaking countries is re garded as too sanguine and extravagant. It would be more in accord with the signs of the times to say than an enlightened publis opinion, high license and local option will greatly reduce the extent of the liquor evil. At the present rate of progress the Americans will soon be the most tern pc rate people in the world. Ustold St r.JF.RiNc.s Caused by Ixtempkr- axcr.???Praiseworthy efforts have been made from time to time to collect statistics of the ravages caused by intemperance. ??? But how much ot its deadly work can never bo meas ured by statistics! Who shall tell of the hearts that are broken, the happy homos made desolate, the loving ones forever wrecked by dfink???s satauic influence? No internal reve nue report can give the list of these, and their names and suffering cay be known only to the pitying Father of all. Few persons appreciate the great number of these sufferers until some striking incident in proof thereof is brought to their notice. For instance, some time ago a young man in Loudon committed suicide, lie was a stronger in the city. No oue at his poor lodgings knew his name, and when ho was found dead in his room, having shot himself, his body was taken to the morgue for identi fication. A letter was found in his room with out address or signature, nml giving no clue to the circumstances of his life, save the fact that he had left a good home, and had been brought to this state of degradation and misery by the cursed habit of drink. This letter was published in the London papers and within the two mouths following- ana here is the point and pathos of the inci dent???no less than three hundred letters were received by the ehuritnblo associations that buried the youth, from heart broken mothers all over the united kingdom, giving descrip tions of sons who had left them, and begging to know if some memento had not been left by the dead lad, if they could see tho letter he wrote, etc. # Not long ago our attention was called to a similar instance which occurred in a small town in this state.* A sharp fight had been in progress between the respectable element nml the snlocn, and in this fight tho local newspa per had given some sturdy blows for the right. In one issue it mentioned the fact, which had been reported to the editor, to whom, however, the name of parties concerned were not given that a mother and several little children in the town were actually starving to death, while nearly the entire weekly wages of tho hus band and father went into the till of one of the thriving saloon-keepers of the town. This fact was published without giving names, as we said, nml during the following weok the editor received five letters reproach ing him for having made the painful case pub lic. fio the editor was assured that the mi4- chief wrought by the saloon-keepers was five times greater than he supj>osed, and like a worthy champion of tho truth, did not refrain, but redoubled his blows. Similar instances to tho nbovo might occur anywhere, so much greeter is the actual sum of the crinto and consequent suffering growing out of the liquor business than any one person is likely to suppose.???Union .Signal.

They all desiro a resub mission, and would work to defeat the law, but they do not want to soo the law violated or rendered nugatory by the action of the ex ecutive of the state, as is done by Govornor Glick, who so freclv uses the pardoning power in cases where juries of twelve men, ninny of fbem anti-prohlhitionists, find men guilty of repeatedly violating the law. Nor do they in dorse the action of the democratic convention which voted John Foster n hero and a martyr because he refused to do his duty as county at torney.

Regarding this low, I camo Across a curious phase of the popular vote that seems to have been entirely forgotten. By comparing tho vote enst for and against the prohibition amendment, I find that it received, in propor tion to the total vote cost at that election, about 30 [K*r cent more votes than any previous atitutionol amendment ever received. Tho records in the office of the secretory of state show that no other amendment voted upon by the people came as near receiving the full vote polled.

The tropic will surely protect themselves from this tre mendous evil. The liquor sellers see tho eud coming and strive to prolong the time by false ly affirming that in Maine the uttempt had failed to suppress the trade by which they live, while by it hundreds of thousands are slain. Prohibition was enacted bv this state iu 1851, and it stauds stronger to-efay in the hearts and Consciences of the people than at any former time for its wonderful results for good. And in September, by an overwhelming majority, they will put it Into the constitution, that in Mai ine the manufacture, sale, and keeping for sale, of intoxicating liquors, except for medic inal and mechanical purposes, and tho arts, shall be forever forbidden. To tbit proposition there U no opposition, organised or otherwise. It is objected to by no party, and by no person who has any connection whatever with any temperance movement. And the secret liquor dens which now infest our cities and larger towns will be swept away." ???A Bio Door ix Whisky.???The above is the heading of a dispatch from Cincinnati. It concludes by saying whisky had ???dropped 10 victim of the atrocious crime was the young wife of Charles Hose, night ynrdmaster of the Air-Line railroad. After catiug his supper at the usual hour Mr. Rose went to his work in the yard of the Air- Line, leaving his wife and little child at home with a young lady, Mls&X. M. Frasier. About 12 o???clock Miss Frasier was aroused by the sharp re port of a pistol. There had been a light left burn ing In the room and when she opened her eyes she was astounded to find that the light had been extinguished. She at first thought that Mr. Rose had entered the room and in the dark ness had stepped upon a mutch, ???Jennie," she called to Mrs. Rose. There was no response, but Instead the young lady heard the rustllng???of hurried footsteeps and a man darted through one of the rooms and sprang a window and was gone. She arose from the boil much excited, and with a trembling hand lighted tiie lamp. She walked over to the bed where she supposed her sleeping friend lay, when a most distressing specta cle met her gaze. The sleeping baby was literally spattered with blood, while on the right side of the mother's head great clots of black blood lay. The dying woman raised her left hand, w the young lady caught It In her c The hand of the dying woman fell to her side, gasped feebly once and was dead. The young lady in the wildest state of excitement, but without uttcriug a cry, sat down the lamp, ran out of house, and into the yard. The moon was shining through the clouds, but no one could be The man who had done tho terri ble deed had gotten well away. Miss Frazier ran to a neighbor's house audguve the alarm. A number of people, men and women, proceeded to the place, while others telephoned the news to police headquarters, and a detach incut of policemen weut out. The husband was sent for, am! when he reached bis home and found his wife murdered he was wild with grief. The house was a small woollen structure, two rooms. Mrs. Rose was sleeping iu the end toward the city. The burglar, for such he has proved to be, entered by a window at the opposite end of the house. He placed an ordinary chop ping block oil tho ground under window, while he cut the putty from around a pane of glass, He then ran his hand and removed two unlls that were over the sash The window was then raised and a stick placed uu dor it to hold it up. He then crawled In and went into the room where lay sleeping the two women, On the mantel lay a pistol owned by Mr. Rose, is supposed that this was the first thing he took, and with it in oue hand proceeded to rummage u trunk at the bedside of Mrs. Rose While he was in this act it is supposed that she awoke and raised up In bed. Tho burglar quickly raised Ids hand and fired tho cruel shot, then hurriedly extinguished the light, sprang through the open window over a buck fence and was gone.

In 1847 the Southern Mutual insurance com pany was organized iu Grilfin, Ga??> ami later was moved to Athens,where it has had its head quarters ever siuce. The company was purely mutual in its organization aud charter provided after paving tho louses and expenses tho bal ance should be divided ninoug its policy hold ers. Borne years afterward to iucrease the confidence in the company and its ability to stand any unusual losses a resolution was passed wliish provided that ten per cent of its profits should be passed to u reserve fund. Binoe that time the reserve of tho company has increased rapidly until about two years ago when it amounted to a million dollars. At this (mint inquiry begau to be made: ???To whom does this million dollars of sur plus belong?" There were those who held that it belonged to the policy holders who hud policies nctuuily iu force. Others claimed that it belonged to all |H)rsoils who had ever held nollcie* in the com- jinny and should be divided equally among all was made before tho supreme court in Februa ry, tho decision was held back week after Hold Poll- , week, and not delivered until now???, when four months have elapsed since tho case was sub rnitted to the court. WHAT THE DECISION DECIDES. The decision is full and absolute, and is made without n dissenting voice. Hid of its legal verbiage, it decides: First. That tho surjdus of the company be longs to every person who has held a policy at anv time, and by paying in a premium has thereby contributed to making the surplus. Second.???That the eomjmiiy w'as organized ns a purely mutual company ni??d still con tinues such, and that the directors have nc authority to retain any amount for a surplus beyond what the recognized rules of insurance would allow as security for their business. Third.???That it is ior tho jury??? under, in structions from the court, to fix what that aiiiouut should be. Fourth.???All of tho surplus nbovo the amount fixed by the jury ns necessary for the' security of the company???s business, should be divided among the policy holders past and present, whoso premiums have made up this surplus, k ifth???Ttat when the amount to which each person interested is entitled shall be fixed by proper calculation the company shall divide the surplus above tho ordinary reserve, pay ing to each jmrty tho sum so fi*Ad.

Richmond. ascertain if any decision hud ever been made settling tho disjiositiuii that should bo mado of the. surjdiis fund of a mutual insurance company that had grown beyond the limits for which it w*as intended. Among: others, an njqieui was made to Mr. Ed wart Atkinson, tho renowned publicist. Ho was very much interested in the matter, and spent sev eral months investigating it. He finally i ported that no where was there a record any court liaviug decided (he owuershiji of tho surjdus fund of mutual insurance company and thnt the nu thoritic* which he had consulted were at vnri ance iu regard to it. TIIE COMPANY OOKB ISTO COURT. About this time the directors of tho company themselves decided to take the mutter into the courts and get instructions as to what they should do with the income of the surjdus, thus incidentally deciding to whom the hotly of the surplus belougcd. They employed Kx-Senn- tor l*ope Barrow and Colonel 8. P.Tkurinond to rejiresunt the eomjmny. In their bill they divided the jwdicy holders into various clneat-r that might be generalized under two hends, namely: the jiresent policy holders and the old policy holders. They designated two men from each class to represent the clnss ns del'ciidnnU to the bill and jirayed that each class thus represented might be bound by tho decree made as to the jinnies defendant. Her vice was jKjrfected ujxm these various jiarlie defendant nud the two representatives o j>res??nt policy holders appeared in court and admitted all the allegations of the bill, and claimed thift the entire surjdus fund ns well n-s the income de rived therefrom belong to tho class represented by them* CAPTAIN HENRY JACKSON ENTERS THE CASK, (treat difficulty was exjieriuiiced iu getting judge who was qualified to try the case as ei cry judge njqiroachcd had been interested in the eomjmny either directly or indirectly, Judge Hneed, of the Augusta circuit, was tho only judge who was found to be qualified, lie entuo to Athens to hold court that this itnjior- tant tase might he tried. A final decree might have been obtained without further litigation delay settling the ownership of the fund in tho jicrsous who hajijicncd to jHdicy holders at the time the directors decided to make a division cither of the inter est or jiriucijml hud it not been for the entrance of n now element into the litigation. Cajitaiu Ifoury Jackson, of this city, received a retainer of five hundred dollars cash from certain. jmrtics who represented the old stockholders in the coinpnny and who de sired him to njijiear in their behalf, lie, in npiM conjunction with Mr. J. II. Lutupkiu, of this city, and Messrs. Carlton and Lu * ' mpkin, of AtFious, ujqicarcd before Judge Suend, r??q??re- senting not only the j??ersons who hud retained them, but lurgo numbers of policy-holders They ciuimed iu the ?? pauy had no right to uaiup the men who should represent the various classes at iutorcst but that under the constitution of this country ???nd the very ^spirit of our institutions that any body of men hud the right to decide who should be tbeir representatives. Tho court sustained this jwidtiou und ordered that the judicy holders represented by tho gentlemen named should bo made parties to tno litiga tion with right to atuwcr. Tho court tbci adjourned without any definite settlement of the matter. THE IHMUK BECOMES A POPULAR ONE, III the mcaiitUno hundreds of jxdjcy holders nil over the state u ho bad held policies iu this coinjmiiy, but hod allowed them to exjrirc, sent their jinnies to Captain Jackson and his asso ciates and jmt their interests in their hands, The issue thus became a jiojmlnr one, for there if people iu ull sections of thi' mid other states who had been at some time iu sured in this company, and who felt thnt they might have an interest in tke enormous surjdus that it hud accumulated. Cajitain Jackson nud his associates then filed cross bills not only for the benefit of the past [wHcy-holders who had directly employed hem, but of all others standing in like relation to the comjiauy, claiming that the charter had instituted u purely mutual eoinjmny, and that its entire jirotiU belonged pro-rata to the jier- who had contributed hi the way of jircin- to the creatiou of the surjdus'. At the next term of Clarke superior court, tho caw ante on for trial before the Hon. N. L. Hutch ins,when elaborate arguments were heard occu >ying several days, Hon. N. J. Hummoudhav ug in the meantime been cmjdoyed by the eomjmny to, represent it, as against Captain Jackson and his associates who had been cm ployed by the policy-holders. Upon Colonel Hammond???s entrance into the case a demurrer to the cross bills was jirotnjdly filed and ujxm these pleadings an argument was had. After several days consumed in the discussion it was discovered that the Georgia Kailroad and Banking Com j/any held jmlieies in the company and that Judge Hutchins was a director of that road, and therefore dis qualified to jtreside. This caused an immedi ate siisjiension of the discussion, and the case went over to the next term of the court. This term was held by Judge Kstes, and again be fore this judge ihe same questions were dis cussed. lie sustained the demurrer to the cross bills throwing the case out of court. Excep tions were immediately filed by Cajdain Jack- son aud bis associates, and the case carried to the supreme court for review. When reached in the supreme court, Colonel Hammond came from Washington for the jmrjiose of making the argument in behalf of the company, ami together with Ex-Senator Barrow jirescuted : ts side of the case. Major William S. Basin- ;er, of Savannah, represented the present pol icy holders. Captain Jackson and Mr. J. If. Lumpkin submitted elaborate arguments in behalf of all persons who had ever been^nh???r- ested as policy holders in the company. Colo nel Hammond consumed au entire morning in arguing the case, and made an uble sjieech. Mr. J. H. Lumjikiu made the opening argument for the policy holders and a surprisingly able argu ment it was. Captain llenry Jackson con a million dollars will be divided among the j>ol- icy holders. Under tho laws of New York ami various other states, it is settled that a safe re serve for a fire insurance company is an amount varying from forty to fif ty per cent of its annual premium receijits. Tho annual premiums of the Southern Mutual company amount to about $250,000. Taking the highest rate of reserve this would call for only $125,- 000 ns a safe surplus fuud. The history of this company itselt shows thnt never in its history, unless the year just ended, has the losses of any one year amounted fifty j>er cent of its jiremlums, and ns its surplus now is suid to amount to about $1,200,000 it will bo'aoen that even allowing it $200,000 ns a surjdus there would bo one million dollars to divide. HOW Tntrt MONEY WILL DK DIVIDED. The first thing for tho court to do is to settle tho amount due to each policy holder, past or present. To do this nn auditor will doubtless bo appointed by the court. Ho will have access to the comj>nny*s books nml will cxainino each claim as it np- ponrs on tho books. As soon fis this is done n definite time will bo fixed Upon by tho court for tho jiersjns so appearing on tho books to present their claims lor jmyment. As there arc thousands of jioojdc, jierhrifis, to whom there are amounts duo on the books of the comjmuy who from having died or moved away from tho state or taking no interest in t}ie matter will not njqriy for the amount** duo them, there will of course be a large fund left after tho first division. The court will then order a second division among those who have ciuimed their rights under the decision to cover the fund that is left until the whole ninouut has been divided down to the ordinary surplus, which the company under the decision or tho court will be jtermiUcd to carry. CAX THERE BE AN AFPRAt.? The inquiry was frequently made Tuesday can tho eoinjmny appeal from this decision. It is held by Beverul lawyers to whom wo qj>- plied thnt there Is no chnneo for nu npjHnil to tho United States su pro mo court ns there is no question arising upon tho eoustition and laws of tho United States, therefore, it is jirobnblo that this decision is final. ; _ , ??? /jcoTcin Crop Nows.
