INSURANCE NOTES.

Alfred A. Wellborn has resigned his position with the Georgia Home as spe- cial agent and adjuster of the states of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. He has been succeeded by F. w. Buckner. of Dallas. Texas.
 C. B. Jennings, who for some time has held the state agency of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance company. has sold that agency to J. B. Ellis x Co.,, of Selma. The price paid has not been made public, but it is understood that while 1t is what would be considered very large, it was mutually satisfactory.
 Mir. Jennings will still be connected with Ellis x Co. in their office. which will be maintained in Birmingham. The company which will look after the inter- ests of the Fidelity Mutual in this state in the future has been doing businesN in Selma since January of this year. It was the agent for the Mutual Benefit, which was sold when the business of the Fidelity Mutual was acquired. The com pany will handle the latter company in this state exclusively.
 The office in Birmingham will be under the charge of T. J. Cleveland, who has

He may possibly have secured some recruits and some additional money but in more than one instance he was fatly turned down. Wall street lacks confidence in Hoadley's speculative judgment His Wall street ventures have not uniformly proved sue cessful and some of them ended disas- trous to those participated. His last conspicuous promotion fall-down was the failure to consolidate southern iron and steel companies. Hoadley has penchant for running big deals on the O. P. M. system-with C-her Peoples Money.

Steel Shares Stronu.

The steel shares have for some time past been leading the market in point of strength. There Is greater activity in the common shares than in the preferred, but for the latter q steady and growing investment demand is the feature. The insiders of the big corporations have been increasing their lines of preferred and confidently expect the stock to reach 12o within the next few months and re- main on that minimum level until the time arrives for another upward move ment to 15o, which might be fair price for permanent ' per cent industrial. The minor steel stocks are also strong for the same general reasons that inlu- ence the securities of the greater cor poration. Speculation in railway shares Is being earnestly directed into the low priced Issues. Less money Is required to finance trades and the argument Is used effectively that there is a greater chance of profit than in the standard stocks. most of which have made phe- nomenal advances during the last year and a half.

Market Is BuIItsh,

The basic impulses of the stock market are bullish,, although difference of opinion still exists as to the wisdom of encouraging speculation for A rise untiI the return tide of money sets in from the west and south. The funds sent from New York and other eastern centers into the harvest fields are still performing their mission and will not find their way back In any considerable amounts for several weeks to come. Bulls are i'm patient for the return movement to be- gin. but they will have to contain their souls in patience and await the operation of natural laws. The currents will run through this way about the middle of November. the attracting force being the need of collecting funds in New York for the payment of $150oO0.0O0 in dividends and interest on and about the 1st of January,

It would do the trade no harm for prices to recede somewhat, for If they should, the demand would in stantly increase and there could be no let-down in the volume of the output The Impression is growing stronger that the iron and steel industry will thrive unin- terruptedly for years to come; even should there be reaction in general business the present productive capac- ity would be taxed to supply what would be needed for renewals and maintenance.

said Resident Manager w. L. Sessions yesterday.
 Local Superintendent w H. Stewart, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany, has made a suggestion to the su- perintendent of the seaboard territory, which includes this state, that an invi- tation be extended to the leading assist ant and the leading agent in each di- vision to attend the national convention of the company. At present only the superintendents are invited to attend, and MT. Stewart thinks that 1t would re an incentive to the agents If such an offer were made to the representatives making the best records. No reply has yet been received, but 1t is thought that the suggestion of MT. Stewart will be adopted.
 The Spectator of last week contains an interesting article on the amount of life insurance the average man should carry. It concludes with the statement that 1t would not be unreasonable for an agent to suggest to prospect that he take an amount of insurance eight or ten times his estimated annual income.
 It takes as an example, man thirty years old, with an income of sSCD per year His personal expenses are esti- mated at $500 per annum, and the ex- penses of his home at $1.600 yearly Tho remaining $500 would be devoted to lie insurance. He could carry s2500 or lire insurance, which. if invested at per cent. would bring over s1,000 yearly to his family. in the event of his death.

Hearst a Big Man
In Greater New York.

The municipal campaign In Greater

ordinary attention, principally be-

by reason Of which the municipal
ownership candidate, William Il.
Hea-st seems to have at least an
even chance OF being elected 70 the

cipal campaign in New York the Bir-
mingham Ledger says;

be elected mayor OF New York on his
radical platform. Suppose that he
should be a candidate for president
on a like radical platform? Suppose

plants and gas plants.
The idea Is a little startling. but it
Is really not many steps from where.
Mr.. Hearst now stands He has left
the democratic organization. and is
leading an Independent radical move
ment.
The republicans can do nothing as
o party In New York city. The peo-
pie won't have another republican ad-
ministratiOn. Naturally the republi.
cans would like to help Hearst defeat
the democrats, but the republicans

Gratis may retaliate by helping that
idea in Mr.. Hearst's national cam
psign.
For years there has been a drift to- i
wards radicalism in national politics. /
Now the democratic party is demoraI-l
lied in national politics. and the rel
publican party seems likely to 20 to i
pieces on several of the rocks now

may see a campaign for municipal

MOSQUITO THEORY
FULLY DEMONSTRATED.
Mobile Item.


In support of the mosquito theory
DR.. White, who has been in command
of the Marine Hospital forces in New
Orleans, and under whose vigorous
and successful warfare on yellow fe>
yer, that scOurge has been stamped
out in that city, says that he believes
that the correctness of the mosquito
theory has again been completely de-
mOnstrated. Prompt application of
fumigation and screening made sec.
ondary infection impossible In every
instance. In the emergency hospital
there was not a single case Of secon-
Diary infection, nor a case of infection
traceable to the hospital among the
1000 nOn-immunes which, had visited
the institution. OF the thousand or
more people who came into the city
from infected points bearing certifi-
Gates from local health officers ard
who were kept under observation for
a pertbd of five days, not a single
case developed. OF the hundred or
more train inspectors in Mississippi,
who travelled on trains from New Or
leans for nearly three months. not one
yellow fever. Though near
" 1000 passengers ana crews of ga
vessels left New Orleans with health
certificates of fumigation by the Ma
rine Hospital Service, not one was at
tackled. Further, DR.. White said that
not a single case of yellow fever has
been traced to freight from New Or
leans. though a large amount of trade
was carried on.
