A stone crashed into window OF
the first -class coach Of the sonthbound
C. & NV. train about four milee
south of Yorkville last Wednesday
night. It came from the west side OF
the track. and because the curtain was
down did but little damage aside from
smashing the window. Nobody was
hit. The conductor, Of course. was ui-
able to do anything to find the mis-
creant; but H. anybody In the neigh

"Redueed" Insurance Rates.
Rock Hill special Of Dec. 81 to Co
lumbia State: AS a result Of the meet
ing held at the Commercial club rooms
several evenings ago for the purpose
of seeing what could be done with re-
gard to the increase In fire insurance
rates In Rock Hill since the re-en-
trance Of the Southeastern Tarin as
ISOLATION to South Carolina some very
interesting figures have been gathered.
It has been found that under the new
book of rates promulgated by the tar
IN association to be used by local
agents after Aug. 25th last, dwelling
house rates have been lowered consid-
erably, but the amounts Of premiums
thus paid In, It Is thought, will hardly
offset the increase In the amounts to
be paid on mercantile risks. Out Of
81 risks on Main street, comprising
buildings and contents, only ten have
been lowered, and some Of these with
out apparent reason. Twenty-Five
risks on Main street and one elsewhere
show a total increase in premiums to
be exacted under the rates the associ-
alton has fixed, and which will have to
be paid each year. Of $1,650.52. Six
Main street risks total q decrease OF
$64.93, making the increase In insur-
ance tax reach an estimated amount
Of $1,5S5.59. Few replies have been re-
ceived by the secretary Of the Com
mercial club to the twenty eight let
ters sent to cities and towns in the
state asking for information as to
rates existing there. None Of these
have contained the information desht
ed. One establishment In Rock Hi
that has installed fire hose, water
buckets, connected its roof tank with
the the-city-pipes;s0-w-tU-Derssdre- city OF
adequate water In case OF emergency,
employed a watchman and spent in all
many hundreds of dollars in comply
ing with requirements Of insurance in
spectors, has found its insurance In.
creased nearly 100 per cent. The re-
suit Of the increase in rates will be, IL
the rates remai" as now decreed by
the tariff association, less insurance,
and consequently less protection.
