Pertinent Points,

At the present time, when millions Of
dollars are being annually invested in
life insurance, and thousands of people
are yearly receiving it's benefits, the SUE
ject needs no extended Introduction to
the average person. Its advantages are
clear and it may be said that no better
method has been devised in the world S
history to provide against the uncertain
ty and irreparable loss of a productive
life; for destiny cannot be controlled nor
the hazards of sudden death adequately
guarded against Thus life insurance
ranks among the greatest enterprises of
the world; it is known among all people
and classes; it is the resort of the pru-
dent and the eXtravagant; the young and
the mature; it is the only resource open
to the man of moderate means, who is
by force of circumstances deprived Of
saving for those who shall survive him
after his weary journey is ended; it is a
blessing in the material form for the
widow and orphan; in short, it affects all
sorts and conditions Of men. The New
England Mutual Life Insurance Company
of Boston, Mass is here to assist all
mankind, by issuing the most liberal con-
tract of any life insurance company, and
as it cost you nothing for specimen poll
cies and other information concerning
this, the oldest life insurance company IN
America, 1t will be to your interest, be-
fore insuring your life, to consult w. E

Grasp the Opportunity While You

While the free breezes are blowing
things your way; while success follows
success, and everything promises a gold
en- harvest, then is it eninently proper
time for you to barrel up some of your
luck or enterprise, and life insurance of
the right kind affords the means. The
right kind is a policy in the Massachusetts
Mutual organized 1851. dts policy pro-
vides for every contingency, has cash,
paid up and loan values plainly written
for every year beginning with the second.
Pays handsome annual dividends. No
waiting twenty years to find its results"
are as good as estimates" and what is
most important, has the protection of the
laws of Massa chusetts. You should under
stand all about these laws before you
take any kind of a policy. We will send
all necessary information-all you have
to do is to send us your age and address.
A postal card will do. Harry & Apple,

MouLrRIE's TRIAL FOR MURDER.
VIII FAnswer Tomorrow for the
Killing of Moses Williams.

Jake Moultrie's trial for murder will be-
gin in the Superior Court tomorrow morn
ing The trial has been several times
postponed, on one account and another,
since the day first set for the hearing
Moultrie was indicted by the grand jury
at the last term of court. The crime
with which he IS charged is the murder
of Moses Williams in house in Fanny
cake lane in Yamacraw, last July. The
coroner's jury that investigated Williams
death determined mat Moultrie was guilty
Of murder and ne was indicted by the
grand jury.
From the statements of the eyewitness
Of the killing il would seem that ii was
hearless and unprovoked Williams had
entered the house in which he was killed
for the purpose Of seeing his child, from
whose mother he had separated The wo-
man lived in the house in which Williams
met his death. When the man asked for
the child whom he desired TO take out
walking with him the woman had inter
posed some objection and Williams walked
through the door which she slammed af-
ter her as she herself entered.
Mouluie rented a room from the wo-
man, and was in the house when Will
Jams entered Her story has it that as
the father of her child came into the room,
Killed.
The slayer picked up his hat and fed,
pursued. after the lapse of a few minutes,
by Patrolman Jernigan ana an excited
mob In the crowd that followed on the
trail of the murderer there were at least
POO men and boys, on foot. on horseback
and in buggies. and armed with every
conceivable weapon. They chased Moul-
tre for two or three miles ana finally sur
rounded and caught him, hiding in a cane
brake west Of the city, near the Louis
vile road.
The man has never assigned any rea-
son for The killing of Williams but his
contention will probably be that ne shot
him to prevent the invasion Of the house
in which the slayer was living. II is true
that Williams entered the house over the
objection of the woman by whom it was
rented, to get the child she had refused
10 give up. As to what transpired after
the entrance was effected, the woman her
self is the only witness. She and Moul-
trie are the only living spectators OF
what then occurred.

BOY BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Two who Cut Their Way Into Evans
& Co.'S and MOyIe's stores.


By a stroke of good luck Officer Rauzin
arrested as suspicious characters two
young negroes, Robert Alexander and
Joe Yates, who, when they1were examined
in the Recorders Court yesterday morn
ing turned out to be not only the robbers
of the John T. Evans Company, but also
Of the store of Mr.. f. Moyle, which they
had left a few minutes before their cap
ture.
Shortly after / o'clock the officer saw

made him suspect that something was
wrong and he arrested them and sent
them to the barracks. When they were
searched it was found that one had new
IOcketbook and that the other had an in
strument for cutting glass. Seeing that
the game was up they confessed they had
Just robbed Moyle's store by cutting the
glass, and through the opening had taken
out such goods as they could
reach. That such robbery could
be done on a well lighted street would
seem unlikely but the boys explained tina t
one of them cut the glass while the other
watched. As they were interrupted a
number of times the work progressed
slowly and it took about an hour to get
through. Yesterday morning in the Re
corder's Court they confessed to the rob
berry of the John T. Evans Company. They
were remanded for trial in the Superior
Court.
Both boys have bad records Alexander
was arrested once before on a charge of
pocket-picking, and a few days ago he es-
capped getting a sentence in the Superior
Court, where he had been sent on a charge
of arson, because 1t was said that he was
only years old and 100 young to be
amenable to the law.
Yates has recently been released from
the chain-gang, where he served a year
eentence on q charge of larceny.

STRUCK BY FLYING CARRIER.
Foreman of Central of Georgia Shops
Injured.


General Foreman E. L. Bouchard of the
shops of the Central of Georgia Railway,
was accidentally injured at the shops
yesterday morning. The nature of the in
jury has precluded an examination, but
it is not believed that Mr.. Bouchards con-
dition is serious and no danger is appre-
hended.
The injury was caused by carrier fly
ing from a lathe. Mr. Bouchard was pass
ing, and the flying portion of the machin-
cry struck him I'm the side At the time it
did not seem that there was much force
in the blow or that Mr.. Bouchard had
been at all painfully wounded. The injury,
however. became gradually, and with the
passage of the minutes. more and more
painful and it was necessary eventually
to have the injured man taken home in
a carriage.
SO acute was the pain that it was not
possible for the physicians by whom Mr.
Bouchard was attended 10 make an ex-
animation, and it was deemed essential 10
place him under the influence of opiates
1t was not learned definitely that any
ribs were broken. BY this morning il is
hoped that Mr.. Bouchard will be SO far
improved that a thorough examnati ton in
TO the nature of his injuries will be pos
sible.
The physicians are not inclined to think
that there are broken ribs or other serious
injury, They acredlt the pain which he
is suffering more to bruises and soreness
from the force of the blow than to broken
bones, and ore OF the opinion that within
three or four days Mr.. Bouchard will be
upon his feet and able to attend to his
business Mr. Bouchard's friends join in
