Fishes Survived Drought.
A curious drought survival by fishes
is reported from France. The ditch
or moat of Monaco, completely dried
up last summer, although usually a
canal three miles long. and fifty feet
wide, with five feet of water. All carp,
tench, perch, and pike disappeared,
leaving dry mud. A recent sudden
rainfall however supplied a little wa
ter, and the fishes were actually seen
rising—as lively as ever—from the
mud in which they had buried them
selves. ¢ |

~ “Since childhood I drank coffee free

“My friends greeted me with ‘How

Policy Holders Warned. =
Insurance Commissioner W. A,
Wright has issued a warning to Geor
gia policy holders in life insurance
companies against so-called abstract
i ors or auditors of life insurance con
tracts, who are said to have come
into Georgia from another state, In
some states this business is prohibit
ed by law, while in others the insur
ance commissioners have warned pol
icy holders against it.
In his warning to Georgia policy
holders Commissioner Wright says:
“Under the laws of all the states
level premium life insurance compa
nies are required to set aside a cer
tain part of each premium as a re
gserve on the policy. These reserves
increase year by year, and are in the
pature of a trust fund, rendering the
policy more valuable. If this were not
the case the annual premiumg would
necessarily have to be increased year
by year in order to meet the increas
ed liability by virtue of increased age
of palicy holder. The- methods em
ployed by these people are very se
ductive and misleading, and may in
volve great loss to the policy holder
who is induced to change the form of
his policy or to switch it to some oth
er company. I might add that the peo
ple conducting this business require a
policy “holder to pay them a liberal
fee for the 'so-called services rendered
which is payable, whether they avail
themselves of the information or not.
They are therefore not engaged in a
philanthropic work, but are here for
what-is in it for them without regard
to the interest of the policy holder,
which fact should require the closest
scrutiny of their methods.
«In view of the fact that I am not
given authority to prohibit this busi
ness in Georgia, in order to protect
the public I feel constrained to warn
all policy holders in the class of com
panies referred to that it is essential
that they investigate very thoroughly
the so-called analyses of their policies
before they entertain for a moment
the proposition to either change their
policies or surrender them to take
insurance in some other company
with premiums payable based upon
the advanced age of the pelieyholder,

‘Lucky C:unties to Get Pensions; -
_ Half -of the Georgia eounties are
going. tc get their pension money at.
once; ic depends upon which are the
Jcky ones; -o 00 e :
There is approximately $550,000 in
the:state treasury, and Governor Sla
ton sees no reason why it should be
_held there until the entire $1,100,000
pension fund has been collected.
He is of the opinion that all the
veterans who can be paid should be
paid their pension money at once, and
to that-end he: he:g(a ‘conference with
State Treasurer W..J. Speer.
.As a result he will order paid out,
probably, one-half of the entire pen
sion fund, leaving it up to Governor
Brown to pay the other half as soon
as it can be:collected. ° o
Last year the pensions were paid
on February 10; this year one-half of
them will 'be paid at least two and a
half. we¢ks earlier.”’ =
-Having decided that it was best to
pay -all the veteraps possible: with
the cash on hand in the treasury, the
question that confronted Governor
Slaton was how to make a fair and
equitable distributioh. . .
Of course there is no reason why
one county should be paid “earlier’
than another, and some might thing- it
unfair to take it by the _alphabet. If
the alphabet were ‘to be the guide,
why not take the last half of -it, just
as well "as the fipgt? ..o "0 Ln
So it has been determined, to write
the names of all the.counties in Geor
gia on slips of paper to put them in a
hat and shake them-up. S AR
Then Pension Cammissioner John
W. Lindsey will draw them out, one
&t a <time, until he has taken out
enough names of counties to absorb’
the entire $550,000. ;- o L
It is not stated Whether Captain
_Lindsey, will blindfold himself =or
blindfold Some “one. else to do the
drawing, It is certain, however, that.
every county in Georgia will get a
square deal, and it is going to be the‘l
.question of the luck counties. £; ‘
-So the veterans in half the Georgia
counties will soon have their money,
but which half is yet to be determin
ed, The others will be paid probably
early in February. .
Hoke Smith on Committees,
Senator Smith has been appointed
as a member of the important com
mittees on postoffices and post roads
and the committee on agriculture and
forestry. These are places that he
particularly desired. His service on
the postoffice committee, which was
also .held by ‘the late Senator Clay,
will be of val.ie in the event a Demo
cratic president is elected this year,
as is hoped. :
The other committee berths which
g 0 to Senator Smith are those on
coast defenses, insular affairs, manu
factures and university of the United
States. ;
_The work of these “select” commit
tees is not burdensome, and their
chief purpose formerly was to reward
certain senators with chairmanships
and an office in the capitol. This need
has disappeared with the construction
of the new monumental building.
Atlanta Plans Exposition. st
To hold a great Southern- exposi
tion in Atlanta in the summer and
fall of 1914, advertising the South’s
wonderful resources and commemo
rating Atlanta’s rise in 50 years from
the ashes of Sherman's fire— -
Such is the plan that was launched
in the city council with a resolution
by Councilman Aldine Chambers in
structing Mayor Courtland Winn to
meet with the Atlanta chamber of
commerce, the Atlanta newspapers,
Fulton county commissioners, Atlanta
Federation of Trades, Atlanta Federa
tion of Women’s clubs and other au
thorities and civic bodies with a view
of enlisting their interest and suuport.
Councilman Chambers laid the
plan before Mayor Winn and as a re
sult the mayor sent telegrams to Sen
tor Hoke Smith and A. O. Bacon and
Congressman William Schley Howard,
briefly informing them of the plan
and asking their support in getting
recognition and liberal aid from the
United States congress.
Lakewood park, a tract of 380 acres
owned by the city, would afford an
ample and ideal site for the exposi
tion. It contains a number of hills
on whose summits the buildings would
be a commanding location, slopes and
valleys which could be terraced with
beautiful effect, and a splendid 20-
acre lake, which presents opportunity
for all sorts of aquatic features on a
large scale.
The first thing necessary to the
success of the plan is an appropria
tion from congress, and it is believeé
this can be secured. .
