1.-THE kidnapping Of Ripley Brewer Is
the title of little skit now undergoing
careful rehearsal. The plot is the work
Of some friends Of the gentleman from
St. Cloud, and some others whose inter-
est in him is not personal, but political
They have already begun to assign the
parts and give out the lines for rehearsal.
Mr.. Brewer has decided to run for con-
gress-is now running, in fact. The
plotters intend that he shall run for gov
ernor. The state convention will meet
probably in June, about three months
ahead of the congressional primaries.
The intention is to work up such a strong
Brewer sentiment thru the state that by
the time the convention meets he will
be carried off his feet. No man can re-
fuse nomination for governor and then
run for another office, at least, no one
has done so. So the plotters are schem-
ing to nominate Brewer and make him
take it. He does not want it, but under
the circumstances he would probably be
like Byron's Donna Julia, who swearing
she would ne'er consent. consented. sr
One reason for this concocted plot, and
sufficient one for ordinary needs, Is
that Brewer is considered hrst-cla gov
ernorship material. He Is young man,
Of good address, an eloquent speaker,
atnOTOly acquainted Win state matters by
reason Of eight years experience in the
senate, and fitted by nature and attain-
ments to make a rousing campaign.
When the list Of eligibles is canvassed, it
is usually agreed that the nominee should
be a man who can measure up with
johnson on the stump, and who can do
something to dispel the lmost~hypnotic
hold the present governor gets on his
audiences. When this standard is set.
very few are found to measure up to tt,
and Brewer IS Invariably among those
few. He hasn't many enemies, but
even those are forced to acknowledge the
mans abilities.
The other reason is smaller one gem
orally speaking, but 1t is big as nouns

President Roosevelt's mother, where

name from Roswell King, who with Bar

lands, on which the town is situated,
shortly after the Cherokee Indians were
deported. These two men leid out the
ten prominent families from ''the low

Bulloch, known to Roswell and vicinity
better as "Mittie'' Bulloch, a name
widely known thru the south thru the
prominence of two uncles in the con-
federate navy. Many prominent names
of the south are associated with the
Roswell district. .... "a.
Mittie Bulloch visited Philadelphia
and New York, where she met Theodore
Roosevelt. She did not yield to Mr..
Roosevelt's suit, however, until after
the young man visited Roswell, where
he found that he had many rivals. His
suit was finally successful, however,
and the marriage took place in what is
now known as the old Bulloch mansion.

Fire VS.. Life Insurance.

"A correspondent suggests that the
present investigation should not stop
with the life insurance companies, but
should also look into the management
of the big fire insurance corporations.
He claims that fire insurance rates are
much too high, and wants to know what
becomes Of the money. i
There is a world Of difference in the
two kinds Of insurance. In the large
fire underwriting concerns there is no
pretense of mutually. Rates are
based on the percentage Of losses with
business spread out as widely as posi-
BILE, and the rates are fixed 50 as to give
a profit to stockholders after paying
losses and expenses. There is no at
tempt to gain policyholders confidence
by fiction Of voting power, and they
are not promised dividends Of large pro-
portions that melt away as distribution
time comes. They are not offered in
surance as an investment, but merely
as protection to their property. They
do not pile the Golfers Of the companies
with money to be held in trust and re-
turned with accretions. When a man
pays fine insurance premium he knows
the money is gone. He is paying for
something, and never expects to get it
back except to recoup a fire loss.
The moral side of the life insurance
scandals is not presented, therefore, in
any aspect Of the fire insurance propo-
sition. It is no doubt true that fire
rates are high, on account of the com
bination which fixes rates for all the
board companies: This is one of the
combinations that the law has seemed
! unable to reach, and it depends on local
agreements in every community. There
is often competition of the keenest
kind, and where it fails there is always
the opportunity to form new companies
mutual or stock, and reduce the cost of
insurance. Owing to the nature of fire
insurance risks, there is manifest need
for some kind Of organization and some
kind Of basis for making rates. It il
also. necessary to have rates high
enough to cover the risks, and because
a community has few costly fires in 9
given year, insurance men do not con
cede that rates may be safely reduced
the next year. Rates are based or
the experience of an extended term Of
| years. Insurance men claim not to be
able to see how the business could bt
safely conducted on a much less pre-
MUM than they are exacting.

to them by Judge Barley that liquor
selling without q license and gambling
was being carried on in this city re-
ported the following:
TO the Honorable Judge of the Corpora

Sunday violations. No evidence has
been adduced to show the violation Of
the Sunday laws by licensed liquor
dealers.
Violations of the revenue laws: The
commissioner of revenue appeared be-
fore us, and from his statement at this
time there are no violations Of the rev.
enue laws.
Sale of liquors to minors: A report
having been made that a dealer was
selling to minors, evidence was heard
which showed that he had been giving
beer to an errand boy.
"Adulterated and misbranded food:
We have heard no evidence showing the
sale of adulterated or misbranded food
"Speak-easies and cocaine fiends: Aft
er closely examining all witnesses we
feel confident that speak-easies exist
and thrive. and the sale and use OF CO.
caine is growing to an alarming extent.
idle men and women: We also rec
ommend TO your consideration the num-
Der of both men and women, both white
and colored who loaf around corner
groceries without visible means of sup
port They should be made to work OF
forced out of the city.
1.-THE police department-The evidence
Of the entire department shows indif-
ference or prejudice, pickering, and in
subordination, resulting in general inef-
ficiency To correct this appalling con-
dition we recommend an Interpretation
in writing by your honor defining duties
Of the mayor and the Commonwealth
attorney.
This is the cause Of recent conflicts
of opinion. We further recommend an
absolute reorganization OF the force, be-
Iieving that nothing satisfactory can be
brought from the present chaotic or
ganization. In our Judgment. young. ac-
tive. industrious, intelligent men are
needed. With such material a more eff.
ficient body will protect the dignity of
the law. life, and property of our citi-
zens WORTH HULFISH. Foreman.
Indictments were returned by the
grand jury against Richard Burnett and
Maggie Burnett for selling liquor with
out a license; Harry McLearen, promot-
