INSURANCE RATE IS ADVANCED
Trust Doubles The Rate Within Two
Years

Years
Americas was given another choking
by the insurance trust-the South
eastern Tariff Association, yesterday
when, without cause or reason what
ever the rates on business property
were made almost prohibitory.
Americas is now required to pay So
per hundred for insurance,
And this with a well equipped and
costly fire department, one of the best
in Georgia, and a fire loss record of 81,
900 or $4,000 or less annually, for sey
eral years past
This is the condition that conFronts
Americas property-owners today.
The Trust ordered the rate advanced
yesterday, Sept 1st, in order to squeeze
from customers here enough to offset
their losses in Northern cities.
If one insures his property he must
pay this usurious, prohibitive rate to
the already rich Shylocks,
The fire losses in dozen northern
and western cities must be paid by the
south, and Americas is assessed 30 per
cent additional to made up the deficit.
Two years ago yesterday, Sept, LIST,
1900, the rate on stocks of goods and
stores was per cent. Last September
IT was advanced to 81 70, and now we
are squeezed once more and the rate
put to a most exhorbitant figure.
Americas pays $50 600 year in
premiums to the Trust. Business men
here, instead of paying out this sum,
with the addition put on yesterday,
may adopt other measures.

There seems to be a tendency on the
part OF some OF the merchants to ignore
the agreement to elese all stores
promptly at TO o'clock on Saturday
night. For Some little time some OF
the stores have not been closed prompt
{ II and, while at first the late stayers
kept open only q few minutes after
the hour for closing, they are now
e Judging more and more every week.
Tf a halt is not called at once, if the
merchants do not live up to the letter
Of the agreement and close promptly
at 10 o'clock every Saturday night, the
termination Of the early closing COM
pact is in sight. While a majority Of
the merchants have no desire to keep
open late Saturday night and hope to
keep the early closing in force for all
time, still they will be forced to keep
open late, Il others persist in violating
the agreement.
There IS no good reason for keeping
the stores open until II or u o'clock
Saturday night dit IS to be hoped
that the movement in that direction
viii be nipped in the bud at once.

Spread of Revolution in Colombia
Calls for Increased Naval Force.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The Colon

new place according to information
received at the navy department. to-
day. An American fruit company to-
day transmitted to Secretary Moody a
cablegram from its agent at Santa
Marta, place on the north coast of
Colombia near the mouth of the Mag
dalena river, saying that conditions
there were very much disturbed, that
the telegraph and railroad communiea-
tion had been interrupted, and request
ing the departments attention. The
dispatch was sent at once to the state
department and our consul at Barren
quilla, a place near Santa Marta, was
called upon for an immediate report
concerning the situation. This report
is expected tomorrow, and until it is
received, no action looking to the dis
patch of warship will be taken by
the navy department.. In case the
condition Of affairs at Santa Marta
should demand the presence of vessel
the navy department. has decided to
send the gunboat Marietta, now at La
Guayra, but the condition of affairs at
the later point is such that if the
Marietta is obliged to leave, the Mont
gomery, at Cape Haitien, will be or
dered forwith to La Guayra and the
latter's place on the Haitien coast
will be taken temporarily by the San
Francisco which will sail from Norfolk
tomorrow. Rear Admiral Coghlan,
who will have all the warshipsi in West

control, is expected to sail on his flag
ship the Olympia, from Boston within
two weeks. Upon his arrival at Cape
Haitien the San Francisco will return
to Norfolk for general repairs.
Six hundred marines have beer
modified at Norfolk to bo sent to the
Isthmus aboard the Prairie, now al
Boston. The Prairie is ready to sal
whenever she may receive notification.
The mobilization of these marines is in
the nature of precaution, and unless
they are needed, it is not the inten
