MUTUAL INSURANCE
IS WANTED BY
MILL MEN
COTTON MILL OFFICIALS WILL
MEET IN MAY TO DISCUSS
PLANS FOR CARRYING
OWN RISKS.

There will be a meeting OF cotton mill
officials of South Carolina and Georgia
in Atlanta, May 5, to consider the advis-
ability of organizing a mutual insurance
company in Georgia.
The cotton mill owners are dissatisfied
with their insurance rates and hope by
mutual cooperation and mutual compa-
mics to insure their mills at the minimum.
The rate on cotton mills has decreas-
ed very decidedly in the past fifteen years.
At one time the rates were as high as
$3.50 while now mills are often insured
for as low a rate as ~ cents.
The competition for cotton mills in the
south is the most vigorous of all insur-
ance competition. A dozen New England
mutual mill companies go after the bust
ness. and these mutuals do not insure any
other risks but the mills.
In addition to the regular companies
and the mill mutuals. syndicate of COM
panies, with headquarters in the north,
and known as the Factory Insurance as
ISOLATION, make a bid for this business
Recently the mill men met in Charlotte
and organized a mutual, and it is their
intention to have a mutual in every state
in the. southeast.

WILLS OF WIN, RICE

pert Of Rochester. N. Y, who was on the
witness stand when court adjourned last
Thursday, resumed his testimony. He
gave his reasons in great detail for be-
lieving the signatures to the 1900 WILL
known as the Patrick will, to be forgeries.
The testimony was similar to the tes-
timony he gave during the Patrick trial
for murder. Mr.. Osborne said that no
man writes his name twice exactly alike
and yet IN the four signatures to the 1900
will, measurements showed the greatest
differences between any two to be less
than .164 of an inch. From these meas
urements he deduced that the founda-
tions for the signatures were traced from
some genuine signature. On cross exam

BRADLEY CASE ENDS
IN BRADLEY'S FAVOR
SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
PUTS END TosLITIeATIoN IN
WHICH BANKS WERE
INVOLVED.

BIRMINGHAM Ala, April 2-when
the supreme court yesterday granted a
motion to strike the bill Of exceptions
from the file in the case of. Birmingham
National Bank vs.. John g. Bradley, one
of the most famous bank cases in the
south came to an end in favor Of Mr..
Bradley.
The case was tried five times in the
circuit court of Jefferson county and
each time there was verdict in Mr.. Brad
leys favor. Each time the case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court, the verdict
was reversed and the case remanded I'M
til the supreme court got it this last time.
The history of the case is this: John g.
Bradley, at that time chief deputy clerk
of the criminal court of jefferson county,
had owing to him by one NJ Gellhorn, the
sum of 1900. Mr.. Gellhorn came into Mr..
Bradleys office one day with a draft
drawn by the Gate city National Bank,
of Atlanta, on the Park National Bank
New York. for $1,000. Lewis Redwine was
cashier of the Atlanta bank.
Mr.. Bradley endorsed the draft and the
Birmingham National Bank cashed it.
Mr.. Bradley was given his $500 and Cell
horn got the remainder. Since that time,
which was eight years ago, Gellhorn has
not been heard from.
+, In due season the draft came back to the
Gate City National Bank and It pronounc-
ed 1t a forgery. The Birmingham Ma
tional Bank then sued Mr.. Bradley as
endorser. Many experts were introduced
and some Of them said the draft was cor
rect and others that 1t was a forgery,
claiming that 1t had been originally issued
for 81 and had been afterwards raised to
"a, OOO Banks all over the country were
interested in the outcome.

PRIMARY DATE FIXED;
POLITICS ARE LIVELY

KNOXVILLE, Ca, April 25.-The Dem
ocratic executive committee for this coun-
ty has fixed the date of primary for coun-
ty officers for the 18th day of May. There
is a contest for nearly every place. Mr..
]. w. Jack, who for number OF years
has been clerk of superior court, is not in
the race for reelection. There are three
candidates for this place
Jack Hancock, sheriff, has also declined
to make the race again. There are three
worthy gentlemen that are very anxious,
however, to serve the people in the ca
pacity of sheriff.
The gubernatorial campaign overshad-
ows county officers. Each of the three
candidates have warm and enthusiastic
supporters in this county. Just now it is
little hard to forecast the result as
between Terrell and Guerry, but Guerry
seems to have the advantage. Query
club was organized at Knoxville last Sat
urday night with many of the best citi-
zens participating.

SENATOR MONEY
KNIFES CONDUCTOR
SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI CUTS
TROLLEY CAR CONDUCTOR
IN WASHINGTON NEAR
THE CAPITOL

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator H. d.
Money, of Mississippi, had an alteration
with a conductor on the street car this
morning which resulted in the senator's
receiving two severe blows from the con-
ductor and the conductor being cut quite
severely in the right hand with knife.
AS Senator Money relates the circum-
stance, he was proceeding from his home
to the Baltimore and Ohio oepot. The
car bound for the depot was Immediately
behind the car in which he was seated.
The senator says that he had only
three or four minutes time in which to
make his train, but that after he discover
ed he was on the wrong car he called to
the conductor and asked him for a trans
fer ticket TO the car bourd for the depot.
He does not recall what the conductor
replied, but failing to receive the ticket
and recognizing that he had no time to
lose. he jumped from the car he was on
and boarded the other.
The conductor said he would have to
produce a ticket or pay his fare, whereup-
on the senator told him that he had paid
one fare and was entitled to a transfer
which he had asked for, but had not re-
ceived, and he would not pay another.
Thereupon the conductor told him that IL
he would not pay his fare he would put
him on the car, and Immediately proceed
ed 70 carry hts threat into execution.
upright post and engaged in a struggle
with the conductor. who was not making
much Roadway when passenger who had
been sitting next TO Senator Money, vol
unteered TO assist the conductor.
BY their combined strength they con-
trfved TO break the senator's hold upon the
post and TO force him from the car.
The conductor and his assistant did not
however, succeed in their design until the
car stopped at the next crossing TO let of
other passengers. He says that both the
conductor and the passengers were very
gruff and abusive in their language, and
that after he had reached the street the
conductor hit him a severe blow over the
heart with his clenched fist.
The blow, the senator says, was very
painful. and in order TO protect himself,
he took a small pocket-knife from his
pocket and opened IT.
This weapon the conductor grasped and
in doing so. cut his hand so that Il bled
very freely. After this proceeding other
persons stepped between the two, but not
withstanding their presence, the conduc-
tor. who Is very tall man, struck him
another blow over the shoulder OF a man
standing between them.
The name OF the conductor Is o. II.
Shaner. a vigorous. but boyish looking
man. He says that he did not see the
senator leave the car preceding his; that
he did not strike the senator until the
latter drew his knife and that he did not
make an effort to put him on the ear
while in motion. His wound is a slight cut
across the ball OF the thumb. A warrant
was issued this afternoon for the arrest
OF Conductor Shaner on the charge OF
assault. 1t was sworn out by Senator
Money.
