A Laudabie Purpose.

John Lockard, az truant officer
has had an opportunity to look in
to many homes of Florence, and
while about his duties he has be-
come impressed with the utter
cheerlessness and poverty that has
fallen TO the lot of numerous chill
dren of the city. Yesterday morn
ing happy thought suggested it
self to him, and he at once started
out with subscription paper, with
the following pledge:
I'VE, the undersigned, su bscribe
the sum set opposite our respect
i've names, to a fund, the object OF
which is to provide Christmas
cheer to any children or Others
who might otherwise be over
looked by Santa Claus. Subscrib-
ers hereto to meet at the City hall
Thursday evening, December 20
at I:3O O'Clock, to appoint proper
committees to see that the fund is
wisely and appropriately ex-
pended"
That tells the whole story No
one has declined to contribute to-
ward the fund, and by Thursday
night. when the meeting will be
held, there will be handsome
sum ready for Santa Claus dis
posal in bringing Christmas cheer
and gIadness to child hearts in
Florence.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

If you want to sell, list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-one to whom peo-
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises literally, far and wide, for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
If you want to buy, go to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title.
If your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones. Most of us can't af-
ford to take them. If you can't,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is a RESPONSE
BILE citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rates-he don't let
business get away from nim by
charging more than others-that
would be ridiculous.
Loans made when security Is
satisfactory.
Deeds, mortgages, leases and the
like, drawn skillfully on short no.
tice.
Notary public always in the Of
fee.

COMBINED EXPERIENCE NIL,

Albany, N Y, Feb, 13,--The flre in

York state lost more than 81, 900, ,0OO
during the last year, This condition
Is shown in the annual report OF State
Superintendent Of Insurance Payn, to
the legislature;
1.-THE statistics presented indicate
that tho results of the fire insurance
business for 1909 have been disastrous
to the insurance companies as q body,
and had 1t not been for the apprecia-
tion In the market value of their

still greater

that the losses through the country in
che companies representing to this de-
partment have been increased during
the year by Slf, AGO. ,iil,73, Examina-
tion also shows that the average rate
OF premium charged by all companies
has materially decreased from year to
year,
During the last four years many
state legislatures have passed anti
compact laws, which have prevented
companies from utilizing their COM
bined experience and Judgment in de-
termining the adequacy Of premiums
for fire insurance and in enforcing
rules and regulations designed for the
purpose Of preventing fires.
"The continued and continuing as
saults upon the insurance companies
threaten serious impairment of their
resources and their ultimate destruc-
tion, unless this crusade is stopped"
He recommends that the state, and |
not each individual company, shall pay |
for the cost Of each examination OF its
financial condition made by the state
department, He recommends also the
repeal Of the retaliatory laws.

STILL MORE COMPLICATED,


Frankfort, KY, Feb, ia large
number OF political friends OF Governor
Taylor held conference which was
protracted,
Governor Taylor stated that there
were two courses TO be pursued, First,
to sign the Louisville agreement Sec
ond, TO quietly withdraw the troops,
allow the legislature to reconvcne in
the capitol building In Frankfort, to
call of the session held In London, and
TO ignore the Louisville agreement en-
tlrcly Several speeches were made
and II was soon apparent that the
sentiment Of the gathering was very
strongly in favor of the second course,
and this was adopted,
Orders were at once issued TO General
Collier to prepare for the departure of
the troops and In very short time n
large number of them were ready to
leave. Six companies have left and
more are to follow, only small de-
tachment remaining, These will be
retained only as peace guard and
will in no way be obtrudcd upon the
presence OF the legislature,
The action OF Governor Taylor re.
turns the gubcrnatorial fight to the
exact position 1t occupied on the day
following the Goebol assassination,
with the additional complication that
there was but one legislature and one
governor, in fact, whereas there are
now two claimants for the position
and two separate bodies, each claiming
