AN HONOR
To One of the Largest Insurance Agen-
 cies in Alabama

The Louisville Insurance Herald, one of the leading insurance journals of the United States, has this reference to one of the leading insurance agencies of Ala bama:
 Louis V. Clark and Company have been appointed state agents of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of Balti- more, their office having been advanced to that point from a general agency. All the Alabama men working for the company will report to these headquarters which will have the effect of largely increasing the business. The company has ten gen. eral and sixty-six local agencies in the state. The new arrangement will make no change in the general or resident agency working forces as all old agents who are efficient will be retained. This new move was made necessary by the large increase in the business of the company, and is a compliment to Messrs. Clark and Com pany, and a special recognition of the good work of MT. w. Hill Ferguson, who has charge of their bond department, and will have control of the special agency work over the state. The new order takes effect October l."

POOR GALVESTON
 IS NOW BANKRUPT
No Money on Hand to Maintain
 City Government
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
Special Session of the Legislature May Be Called to Make an Appropria- ton of $1o0,Ooo-Plan
 is Feasible

New Orleans, September 30.-A special from Galveston, Texas, says:
 Galveston is confronted by a serious problem. The city is virtually bankrupt; there is no money on hand to maintain the municipal government and something must be done if the city Is to be saved. and done quickly. Judge Norman J. Kit trell, Representative in the state Legisia- ture from the Houston district who has been active in his efforts in relief work at Galveston, has a plan, which, if 1t Is car ried out, will assist the municipality in tiding over the present embarrassing con- dition.
 Judge Kittrell favors the calling of a special session of the Legislature to ap- propriate s1OO,000 to carry on the city gov- ernment. He says the state can well afford the appropriation, and he will use his every effort to obtain It. Today he had a conference with Mayor Jones and several members of the City Council on the sub ject and as a result a special meeting of the City Council is called for tomorrow to take up the matter. The city, prior to the storm was from three to six months in ar- rears in its accounts and the scrip which was issued to city employees was subject
The age-herald., 1900-10-01

to discount at the rate of from three to ten per cent The salaries of city employees for the month of September are due tomor- row. There is no money in the treasury to pay them and if scrip was issued, difi- culty would be experienced in having it cashed.
 A we'll known money broker who has heretofore handled city scrip said today that he did not want any now at any price, Conservative business men think If the city should decide to continue issuing scrip money, brokers would demand a discount of from 25 to 35 per cent and probably more. In view of these conditions there have been several restignations in city de- partments.
 If the Governor, acting upon an appeal from the City Council, should decide to call a special session of the Legislature to appropriate the money to maintain the city government, ninety days would nec- essarily intervene before the city would receive benefit. In the meantime city of ficials would be subjected to outrages dis counts or be without money.

 Speaking of his experience in the South African war, Colonel Lynch said that his most thrilling experience was at Elands- laagte after Butler had relieved Ladsmith ana had come up towards Dundee.
 T was under Gen. Louis Botha, and went down to attack the English" said he. "There were about fifty of my brigade all told, and we were sent forward to occupy the most advanced kopje, where we were under the English fire. Not only that, but they were supported by three cannons. We replied with Mausers and drove them off, but could not dislodge the guns. Seeing this I ordered the men to move to another part of the field, and to make this possible we had to pass over a neck of when the English had the exact distance. We were in full view of the English gunners, but 3OO yards away. So great was our danger that I ordered the men across singly. Two horses were killed, and as I was crossing over a shrapnel burst over my head It was a terrible experience. The air was filled with missiles, and I thought for a minute the end of the world was here. However, I escaped without injury"
