FOR LOCAL INSUR-
ANCE COMPANY.
Mayor Myers Suggestion Meets
with Approval.

W I'm
Mayor Myers suggestion, in the
Morning News. that a local fire in
surance company be organized so that
Savannah can enjoy a rate such as
conditions warrant her in expecting, is
being indorsed generally and steps
Iu1y be taken very shortly to put into
effect the plan outlined by Mr.. Myers
Those local agents who were APP
preached did not care to go into dis
cussion Of the matter, although one
was brave enough to say that he did
not think a local company would pay
those who might invest their money
He was unable. however, to take the
records for the last FIVE years and come
any where near proving his conten-
tons He didn't even attempt it.
Some of the agents are working
hard in an effort to have Savannah
rerated and. too, to have the addi-
tional Is cents taken off. The agents
admit that this Is cents should come
off, and agree with Mayor Myers that
it is not necessary to rerate the city
in order to take it off. Because Of
the activity of several of the agents
il may be that relief will be secured
from the Southeastern Tariff Assocla-
ton before a local company can be
formed.
Fire Chief Harris of Tampa, who was
in Savannah Sunday had something TO
saw To a PARTY of friends about the
insurance rates in effect in this city
and in Tampa. Chief Harris also tolo
how he had Tampa rerated in less than
a week, several years ago, ana caIleu
attention to the fact that to-day Tampa
in rated in the second-class. Inc ola
Savannah fire fighter who Is IN chaIse
of the Tampa department PAID ny
ing Trim TO Atlanta where he had
conference with a committee from the
southeastern Tariff Association. Ana
he accomplished his purpose.
ct called on the gentlemen in the
morning" said Chief Harris, IN telnhg
of his visit land found that they were
not inclined to go into the SUBJECT a'
all with me. They made first one eA-
cusa and then another. and asked If the
association didn't have a secretary IN
Tampa. | told them plainly that ne
had no authority, that to take the mat
ter up with him meant only further de-
Law. and that l simnly wanted them TO
tell me positively if they would rerate
the. city Immediately.
1.-THE man who was president at that
time showed me now Hucn Hdu DSC
lost at Fernandina. and Jacksonville.
and other points in the state.
Then because my neighbor is sick
must permit the doctor to shove a COM
pound cathartic pill down my throat,
/ ask him.
THE committee tried in every way
to put me off, but l demanded an an
swer of simply yes or no. told them
that we had enough wealthy men in
Tampa to organize a company at once,
and that it would be done unless l
could get d positive answer that the
city would be rerated Immediately. /
was told to call again in the afternoon
at o'clock. At that hour another eff
fort was made to put me off, but when
they saw that the people in Tampa
We're In earnest and would do just what
they threatened to do. they agreed to
rerate the town. And it was done, too,
within a week"

STOLE ROPES FROM
FLOATING RATS

Secret of Floating Logs in HarbOr
Explained by Arrest of Rope
Thieves.
Kit Kinslow was arrested on a war
rant, sworn out in Magistrate Wick
hams court yesterday. charging him
with stealing rope from the Mill Ha-
ven Company, and behind the arrest is
perhaps an explanation of the mystic
rious appearance of logs in the Savan-
nah harbor, which have been the
cause of much worrying on the part
OF HarbormaSter Mcbride. Charlie
Rich, who was an accomplice of Kin
slow, was arrested Saturday. Both
men are in Jail
According to the statement made to
the officers, Kinslow and Rich took
about 400 pounds of rope from RATS
tied up at the wharf of the Mill Haven
Company, releasing the logs, which
f1oated down stream to the peril of
small boat and the annoyance of
larger crafts. Harbormaster Mcbride
has been making an effort for the last
week to locate the cause of these logs,
and is now satisfied that the two men
now lodged in Jail were the cause.

SUING STILLMORE
DOCTORS FOR $4,000.
John Nj. Carson Alleges Malpractice
and Seeks Damages.

John NJ. Carson, former engineer in
the employ of the Southern Construc-
ton Company, has filed suit against
Drs. George i. Smith and L. p Lance
of Stillmore. charging them with mall
practice and negligence of their du-
ties, and seeking to recover damages
to the amount of 100000. In addition
10 the sum claimed for actual dam
ages he seeks to obtain punitive dam
ages amounting to a considerable sum.
The charges are sensational. En-
gineer Carson, who is a native of Lake
land. states in his bill of charges
against the physicians that on April
10, 1901, while in the employ of the
Southern Construction Company, and
when at work on the grading for the
Bruton and Pineora Railway, not far
from Stillmore, the arm of a steam
shovel became uncomfortable and
swung around. crushing him to the
ground and breaking both legs and
decorating the flesh, His condition be-
ing serious, he was carried to Still
more and Drs. Smith and Lance We're
summoned to attend him. They had
charge of the case until Sept. %, when
finding that Carson was not apparent
ly improving, the officials of the con-
struction company had him removed to
the Savannah Hospital, where he was
attended by DR.. w. H. Elliott, surgeon
of the Central of Georgia Railway.
The complainant alleges that when
his condition was investigated at the
hospital it was found that he had been
neglected by his former doctors. The
wounds were festered and in a bad
condition, and for MANY weeks the
physicians entertained serious doubts
of his recovery, and thought that for
a time he could not live unless both
legs were amputated. However, it
is alleged, an operation of a different
character revealed the fact that
pieces of bone had been permitted to
remain in the broken places by the
physicians who first attended him,
and that they had caused all the
trouble to which he had been subjected
and prevented the fractures from
speedily healing. For nearly a year
Mr.. Carson remained in the Savannah
Hospital, and he states that he has
never recovered the entire use of his
limbs and that they will always be a
source of great pain and trouble to
him.
