TO GIVE NORRIS A

Remains of Member of the Fifth Cavalry Arrive From the
 Philippines.

The remains of Charles F. Norris, the private in Troop B, Fifth Cavalry, U. S.. A, who was killed at target practice in San Fernando, Philippine Islands, ar rived in Birmingham yesterday morning and were carried to the Warner-S Smiley undert aking establishment
 The body will be inferred this afternoon at o'clock in Elm Leaf cemetery with military honors. Firing squads will be present from Companies K and G. Ma tional Guards, under command of Ser geant Fellers.
 The ball which killed Private Norris was one fired by himself, and is called by sol- diers a reboundng ball. His troop was at Der 22, 1901. The ball reboupded from the target and struck him In the back of the head, causing instant death. He was con sidered one of the best and bravest men in his troop, and was universally respect ed by privates and officers.
 Private Norris served in Company ot the First Alabama National Guards dur ing the Spanish-American war He was a number of times orderly at the tent of Colonel Higdon, and was highly es- teemed by the commanding officer.

COMPANIES
 ONLY SNAPPED DOLLARS

tory margin of profit would still be left for the companies Such, however. is not the case It costs the average company just about A per cent to do business in Alabama. Fifteen per cent goes to the local agent. about 10 per cent to the gem eral agent, his inspectors, etc, and the balance to state, county and municipal taxes, licenses, etc. The city licenses in some instances are high, and should be regulated by statute, in my judgment. Montgomery, for instance, charges each company $400 annual license and Selma charges s25O and 2 per cent of the premi- ums. Birmingham and Mobile charge $200 each. It will cost a company in li- lenses and taxes about 5000 to do a s20, = 900 business In the State and only about BPS, GOO to do a s1OO,00O business. This ar- rangement of the law is desirable to the companies that have large business al ready established in the State, but dis couragcs the companies that have not en- tered the State from doing so and there by impedes competition. I believe if the State would impose tax on gross premi- ums, in lieu of all other taxes and H. censes, 1t would be advantageous to all concerned and would contribute to bring about more conservative underwriting as quality rather than quantity of business would be sought after by the companies, in consequence of which fewer losses would be experienced, and therefore cheaper rates would prevail.
 "I look for very much more conserva- tive underwriting during the next few years.
 There are now only three Alabama fire companies, and their business Is confined to the towns in which their headquarters are located-the Stonewall and the Fac tors and Traders of Mobile and the South ern Mutual of Birmingham. By economi- cal and careful management these three companies are doing exceedingly well. Ten years ago there were seven or eight fire companies in Alabama. None of them failed, but they found there was no profit in the fire insurance business and went into voluntary dissolution.
 'The addition of 25 per cent to the pres ent rates will enable the fire companies to write more conservatively and to make some money"

TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
Not the Reason.

It Is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people de- cline to give it trial, but because they find 1t too great a tax on their credulity to believe that the published letters bear ing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide especially to those who have realized the suffering in- cident to piles Is it incredible that anyone who has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty years with the worst forms of pro- truding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of simple remedy, when their physician has assured them that the only relief Is in a surgical oper- ation This is rightfulIy viewed with dread by all those afflicted, as it means at the least a great shock to the nervous sys- tenn with more than a possibility of utter collapse and death; in the majority of cases, too, there is return Of the com plaint owing to the fact that the cause Is not removed.
 The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to anyone who will show a single published testimonial to be not genuine and unso- licited; this latter feature is most grati- flying, inasmuch as these letters are writ ten solely out of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that relief Is at hand, at a comparatively tri1ing ex- pense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at fifty cents package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price.

William Lichtenwslter head of the largest printing house in Canton Ohio. says: "It is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that can say I believe am cured of protruding and bleeding piles. after suffering more than twenty-five years. 1 have been in bed for two weeks al a time. I have not suffered in the least for over a year, and 1 used only three f1fty-cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. advise every person suffering with this distressing and painful complaint to give this remedy trial have every con fidence in it.''

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER Me DAVID EXPLAINS SOME POINTS ABOUT REGENT INCREASE OF 25 PER cENT.-DEPUTY COM. M1SSlUNER'S REPORT.

Apropos of the recent increase of 9 per cent on fire insurance premiums, Hon. Robert P. McDavid, Secretary of State, who is also State Commissioner of In- surance said yesterday:
 The fire insurance companies just about swapped dollars in Alabama last year In other words, they carried over $1OO GOO, 900 of risk for a year without re- ceiving any profit for their trouble and their risk. And still they count them selves lucky as far as Alabama is con cerned, for in most of the states they lost substantially. Tie present year las started out even worse the two past months being the most disastrous for panies.
 "The deputy insurance commissioner, MT. Ned R. McDavid who is in immedi- ate charge of the insurance department of the office, has just issued very in- tercsting bulletin relating to the eXperi- ence of the various insurance companies in Alabama last year as shown by their dnnudl TepOrlS tO lHe uepdt lIhehl
 "Sixty-nine fire companies did business in the State during the year, but nine of these have withdrawn and no new ones have entered to take their places. These nine which have withdrawn have not re- ported to the department their annual business for the year 19O1 but the reports of the companies that have not been dis couraged show this state of affairs:
 "The sixty companies wrote $10S 476,3 37O in fire insurance risks during the year, receiving therefor $1, 6S2, ,769. being an aver age rate of s1.55 per hundred. The aggre- gate losses incurred and paid are shown to have amounted to $94O, 977. The ratio of losses. therefore, to premiums amounts to only 56 per cent, and it would appear to the uninformed that very satisfac-

Ministers Contribute Months Rent
 For Home For Men.

The ministers of Birmingham will aid the Salvation Army in its efforts to furn- ish a home for men temporarily out of employment. At the meeting of the Min isters' Union yesterday morning it was decided to aid the Army and a collection was taken to pay this months rent which amounted to $40.
 Captain Lawrence, commander of this division, appeared before the union and stated the object and result of the work He said the main trouble at present was the rent. He asked that the ministers speak to their congregations and ask them to raise the $40. In turn he pledged the Salvation Army to care for all worthy men temporarily out of employment, who were sent to the home by the ministers of the city.

CASE IS DOUBTFUL.

MT. E. H. Cabaniss-I think 1t doubtful If good would result from putting the sheriff, probate judge and clerks of the courts on salaries, instead of allowing them to be paid by fees as at present. Each of these officers has to give large bond for the faithful performance of his official acts and incurs large responsible ities In the discharge of his duties. He is liable for the acts of his deputies. as well as his own and the sheriff and probate judge, at least. are often sued on account of the acts of such deputies. The respon- sibility being great, the compensation should be somewhat in proportion and 1t would be a very difficult matter to fix a salary which would be exact and Just compensation and no more than that. No doubt there are evils in and abuses of the fee system which ought to be remedied, but just how that ought to be done, am not prepared to say
