ADVANCE NOT A RECENT MOVE.
Though Rate is Now Two Per Cent as
Stated.

The article in yesterdays Times-Re-
corder to the effect that insurance rates
upon business property here had been
advanced to two per cent conveyed the
idea that this rate applied to property
of every kind. The rate is two per
cent on some, but not upon all risks.
The advance made was % per cent,
aud IS generally distributed. This did
increase the rate of premium paid by
some policy holders to ? per cent
But those paying less than $1.75 per
800 only had their new policies in
creased in proportion to those who
formerly paid $1.75 and whose rate
is increased to 81 since the expiration
Of their old policies.
The advance of 25per cent as ordered
by the Southeastern Tariff Association
has been effective since Feb. 28th.
Policies written prior to that date
maintained the rate specified until
their expiration, when the advance OF
% per cent is added to new policies.
There was not sudden jump in rates
to 81 per hundred on Monday, though,
as stated, the advance of 25 per cent APP
plies to all policies renewed or written
since February 28th, and the rate OF
some insurers is now 81, as stated.
The premiums paid in Americus
annually is about $24, 600

BOARD RESCINDS
PERCAPITA TAX.
Americus Schools are Again AbsO
lutely Free,
NO CHARGE TO ENTER SCHOOL
Money Proposed to Be Thus Raised M
Longer Needed Now Salaries O.
Teachers Are Again Restored tt
Former Figures,

The public schools Of Amerious, for
twenty five years the clty's free echools,
are to remain absolutely free. There
will be no per capita tax Of s. per
annum Levied upon each pupil attend
ing, as ordered by the Board Of Edu-
cation recently.
This order OF the school board was
rescinded at meeting held yesterday
afternoon, and without single dis
sentiDg voice.
AS is we'll known, in order to add to
the city's revenues supporting the pub
lie schools the Board of Education, at
the meeting in June, levied per capita
tax of $500.
This order was to become effective at
the re opening of the schools two
weeks hence. Each pupil attending
would have been compelled to pay 81
at the beginning Of the spring and fall
terms, or So annually, and $4,000
would thus haye been raised.
Yesterday, however, the BoarG OF
Education decided not to enforce the
new law and it was, therefore, prompt
ly repealed.
And the teashers were likewise re-
membered by the school board.
Some time since, owing to the tinan-
cial Stringency OF the city, cut of
per cent in the salaries of public
school teachers was ordened, thus re-
ducing expenses considerably. This
necessity no longer exists, and now
salaries are restored.
Patrons Of the schools as well as the
thirty or forty teachers will be pleased
at the action of the Board of Education
yesterday.
1t is the order of the Board of Edu
cation, however, that while no per
capita tax is levied, that pupil cannot
enter the schools unless his or her
father has paid all poll tax and street
tax prior to the current year; only his
back taxes.
This order will be enforced when
pupils apply for admission cards.
Supt. Mathis will be at Furlow School
Thursday for the purpose of issuing
cards.

CROPS WORSE OUT IN TEXAS,
Former Resident of Amerlcus Writes
of Conditions

of Conditions
Farmers about Americas should feel
well satisfied with their crop prospects
upon comparing them with existing
conditions IN Texas, Capt. A. S.
Num-, one of Sumter's representative
farmers, is just in receipt of letter
from his brothes, Fl. Num-, formerly
of this county but for several ears a
resident of Wayland Texas. Mr. Mann
writes very dIscouragingly OF crop
prospe cts in Texas. The cotton crop,
he writes, will be smaller than last
years output Tie black lands, he
says, will make a fair crop, but on low
lands the stalks are waist high and
bare of bolls. He does not believe the
crop of that state will be nearly so
large as last years, while the corn crop
was a failure as we'll. If conditions
throughout the belt are as bad as re.
ported cotton should bring much
higher price even now, and surely will
bring it later in the season.
