Why He Attended

The papers read before a scientific asso-
citation had been of an unusually abstruse
character that evening, and the comments
on them more than ordinarily technical
and profound, says the Washington Star

ner close to the door listened with close
attention to all that was said. All the
members of the association regarded him
as the guest invited by some other mem
Der. and. as a matter of fact, he was an
entire stranger to everybody. One of the
members in a spirit of hospitality, stop

Much of the money which should be in
circulation in the south is sent north to
pay insurance premiums. The south should
have her own insurance companies. There
are some insurance companies in the
south, and among them are some excellent
Ones but they cannot anywhere near do
the business there is to be done. There
should be many more of them.
Why not have a fire insurance
company here in Savannah? 1t is
true there have been several here,
all of which have gone out of
business for one reason and another,
but there is no good reason why a well
managed company should not succeed here
now. Among the young and progressive
business men there are some no doubt who
could make an insurance company a sue
cess.
1t is not necessary that the company
should be a big one in the beginning. Let
1t start as some of the banks started in
a small way, and grow with the growth
of business. One of the largest insurance
companies in the world began business in
a small room in which there was but one
desk.
There is great deal of money here seek
ing investment and there is nothing that
could offer better security and yield better
dividends than a carefully managed fire
insurance company. 1t couldn't afford of
course 70 pay big salaries or to pay any
salaries TO incompetent men. To start
with live president a good bookkeeper
and a small room would be all that would
be necessary. The fine office and the
thousand-dollar desk would be things to
be thought of later. A good company would
keep a great deal of money here that now
goes elsewhere. There are men here who
can successfully manage an insurance
company and there would be no difficulty in
getting the necessary capital If the right
men should take hold of the enterprise.

Too Much AduIteration.
From the New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin Qnd).

There has been too much adulteration
in this country, and the means of dealing
with it are not so efficient as might be
desired. We have never shared in the
common abuse of oleomargarine, but its
sale as butter is a fraud on the pur-
chaser, or upon the consumer. and the
export of oleomargarine as butter has
seriously injured the business of export
ing butter from this country. The filed
cheese fraud has inflicted a deep wound
upon the export of another dairy product
Much cotton is shipped in a shape that
raises a strong suspicion that somebody
on this side of the ocean magines that
there is a profit in getting the cotton as
damp and dirty as possible under the i'm
preston that mud and water can be sold
at ne price Of cotton. our wooden manu-
facturers have been complaining for a
long time Of the steady deterioration of
the condition in which wool is marketed
by producers who imagine that they can
sell grease and burr for the price of wool
ana that the inferior portions can be
sold for the price of the best by mixing
them together. Last year we exported
small lot of wool TO Bradford, and the
comments of the buyers there were far
from fiattering to American business sense
and honesty.
