Possibly the only piece of property own
ed by the state of Georgia upon which no
Insurance is carried is the capitol build
ing. The state library is insured for S4V'-
n CO. but there is not a dollar OF insurance
n on the building. The reasons given why
n this is so is that the surroundings are
such that there is very little danger Oh
\ the building burning. Its location in the
middle of very large lot, far removed
q from any other property, and the tact
ii that the structure is considered fire PROOF,
II ii is claimed makes it an unnecessary eN-
n he b1Tfi
n this one or two watchmen are in the
building every night and during the day
1 all the offices are occupied by the officers
Of the several departments.

"A Shoes in good condition, and in the trous-
4 err pocket was a knife 1t is impossible
10 tell whether the man in life was
