Mortgaged Farms.

1t is no exaggeration to say that more
than one-half of the farms of the Middle and
Western States are mortgaged and in most
part to eastern insurance companies.
In the face of this alarming fact is it to be
wondered at that the farming class is becom-
ing restless under unnecessary taxation?

collectors the farmers lot is hard one.-

all OF which is composed Of the rich

INSURANCE In CHARLESTON.

A movement was inaugurated in
Charleston, =. c., under the aus
pices of the merchants exchange, to
secure the cooperation of other mer-
camille bodies, as well as property
owners generally, to demand re-
duction Of insurance rates, 1t is
claimed that five or six years ago,
when the old volunteer fire depart
ment was in existence and the city
depended on its tidal drains for a
supply OF water for fire purposes, the
insurance companies promised a re-
duction Of rates as soon az water
works were built, and the fire depart
ment reorganized. The city has now
a complete system of water works and
paid fire department. Insurance
rates have not been reduced. Should
the insurance companies refuse to
make the concessions demanded, it
is said thst steps will at once be tax
en- to organize local mutual insurance
companies. There are two of these
in operation now. The Germania,
which has been in operation many
years, is rich, and the Hibernia,
which started only three or four
years ago, is getting rich rapidly.

a dress or bonnet displayed under

best advantage. Probably the es-
