Southeastern Tariff Association.
Some one is pretty certain to make
the trip and tell the directors of the
association just what will happen un-
less Is cents is taken off the insurance
rate that is effective in Savannah,
and the town is rerated at once.
Chief Mcguire is an expert on facts
and figures and has the reputation of
being very convincing. For this rea-
son he may be sent. Mayor Myers
would be willing to let the fire chief
tackle the insurance trust and convince
it that Savannah will no longer be
imposed upon in the matter of fire in
SuranCe rates.
But it will be the Cha mber of Com
merce that Will have to formulate the
plans. That body began the fight for
a lower rate here and will continue it
until something has been accomplish
ed. A member Of the chamber said
yesterday that he would favor sending
some one to talk to the directors of

The fact that five years ago Chief
Harris of the Tampa fire department

interest yesterday, and then the sug
gestion was made that Chief Mcguire
be given an opportunity to do the
same thing. His aptness for figures
and close arguing, it was contended
by those who discussed the subject,
make him peculiarly fitted for the
task and it is probable that something
will be done. The matter is certain to
come up at the next meeting of the

RAINY WEATHER COSTLY
To- RICE PLANTERS.

Already the Weather Conditions
Have Cost Them a Great Deal.
Rice planters are very much con-
cerned over the condition of the wealth
er, and the rain of the past few days
has cost them great deal of money.
Unless the weather breaks in a hurry
the rice planters say they will lose
heavily. The local foTecaster is of the
opinion that the weather will break to-
day. in which event the planters will be
able to thrash in week or ten days.
Rain at this particular time causes the
rice planter much concern, and he is
studying the weather map as closely as
the sailor.

defendant an immediate appearance.
