THE WHOLE COUNTY
viii Be Affected by the Increase
in Insurance Rates.
The Order as First Sent Out Was
Misinterpreted-No Localities
Exempted.

The Herald reported several days age
that the recent advance of % per cent
in fire insurance rates ordered by the
fire insurance companies. did not affect
Columbia, Mt. Pleasant Spring Hill
and Santa Fe. as those places were re-
rated only a few weeks ago. II
has since been learned, however, that
this was neutrality-suspicious. of instruc-
ion, and that the OCTOPUS" has grip
on the whole county.
The order sent out by the insurance
companies was at first misinterpreted
by the local insurance men, upon
whose statements the Herald published
its first information. Since then the
order has been made more explicit. and
it has been learned that no property in
the county is exempted by virtue of its
having been re-rated during the past
twelve months
The 25 per cent raise applies to all
mercantile stocks, all frame store
buildings, all special hazards, such as
flour mills, saw mills, ETC., and all
brick buildings containing any haz
ardous occupancy. This increase is
what is known as ''fiat' increase on
rates already in force. Among risks
classed as hazardous occupancies''
may be mentioned printing offices. drug
stores, saloons, hotels and boarding
houses that take transient customers,
grain elevators, livery stables, opera
houses and other less important but
hazardous risks.

RAINS, The Druggist.

son, Secretary of the Kentucky and
Tennessee Board OF Fire Underwriters,
the following extract is taken giving
the excuse for the action Of the COM
pany: "This measure was necessity
upon the part of the companies as it
is now question of life and death
with the fire insurance companies doing
business in the United States They
have been continually losing money
for the past ten years and if some
thing is not done to put stop to the
enormous fire waste, the companies
will either have to double their rates
or retire from business +"
In other words it seems to be ques-
ton whether the insurance combine
will retire from business, or whether
by their thumb screw methods they
will retire other people from business.

SPRING MILLINERY.
Beautiful Display at Mrs. NJ. z
Williamson's.

The feminine world of fashion CEN
tired around the millinery emporium
of Mrs M. e. Williamson Monday.
The ladies began calling early, and the
establishment was thronged throughout
the day. The hats ON display
present variety of the newest shapes
among which the Congressional, Con-
tinental and Florodora take the lead.
One exquisite hat of the latter shape
has crown entirely of foliage, and
June roses nestle around beneath the
brim, while the popular black vel
vet streamers are attached at the
back. This is designed especially
for young ladies, and nothing
could be prettier Another hat which
is being much admired is an imported
hat of Congressional shape. whose
sole trimmings are pearls and black
wings. Simplicity and elegance seem
TO characterize the seasons millinery,
and Mrs. Williamson and her assistant,
Mrs. Elicit. are most skillful in COM
bining with these qualities the essential
touch of style which gives to their
creations such popularity. Among
trimming, pearls and straw vie with
white foliage and berries in popular
favor. Among the latter may be men
toned the Eidlewise foliage. This
is imported, and is an exact reproduc-
ton of the beautiful white shrub which
is found on the mountains of Cali
fornia.
Mrs. Williamson may justly take
unto herself much de in this open
ing, for it has surely never been sur
passed In this city. 1t excels not
alone in beauty and style. but also in
l large and most varied assortment of
handsome hats

A Midsummer Comfort.

The troublesome little red ants that
appear as if by magic about midsum-
mer, and take complete control of the
pantry at the time when summer heat
makes other trials hard to endure, may
now be routed by very simple RENE
dY. A practical housewife made the
discovery by accident, and it has been
found satisfactory in every instance in
which it has been tried. Simply mix
five cents worth of tartar emetic in an
equal amount of white sugar, put 1t
into small dishes and set it on the
shelves or floor. Do not throw the
mixture away. but save it for further
attacks. as it can easily be moistened
and used again when we go to the
pantry some warm, moist morning and
find sugar bowl, cookies and all sorts
of sweets and cereals swarming with
the troublesome little summer pests.

AMERICAN APPLES.
Steady Demand for Them Can be Gree
ated in All Sections Of
Germany,

Vice Consul Liefeld, at Frieburg, re-
ports to the state department that a
prominent fruit and produce dealer
In the grand duchy of Baden recent
ly told him that large demand for
American apples and apple products
could be created In Germany if O
little more care were taken by the
producers and exporters. He said
that the dried apples arrive In faircon-
dition, but that the evaporated apples
do not; nor can they be kept in the
market for any length Of time, for
they soon become moldy and decay.
The dealer suggests that the apples
should be more thoroughly evapor-
ated and then properly packed for
the export trade. He says there is o
great demand for American evapor-
ated apples, and II they can be re-
ce1ved in better condition there are
prospects of still further increase
of trade.
He also referred to the unsatis-
factory condition in which raw apples
are often received, and suggested
that the same care should be taken
in handling and packing apples as IS
used with oranges. If they were
packed in paper or in layers of straw
it might be a guaranty of their arriv-
al In sound condition.
If these points are taken into con-
sideration this gentleman claims that
the market for American apples and
products thereof will be enormously
enlarged.
