Cheap Insurance.

One of the greatest advantages
claimed for the new system of savings
insurance is, of course, its cheapness.
The expense of sandbagging people in
to insuring their lives and of collect
ing the premiums by house to house
canvass causes this form of protection
to the wage Garner to cost from two to
eight times as much as his Weather
neighbor has to pay for ordinary life
insurance. There is, assuredly, a ia
miliar argument to the effect that the
average individual will not buy life
insurance policy unless he is talked in
to it by an agent Some people, how
ever, believe that large enough pro-
portion of American laboring men are
Industrious, thrifty and far-seeing
enough to do the thing they ought
without being eternally nagged about
it.
1t is generally admitted that Massa-
chusetts is particularly good state
to TRY out" this scheme of savings in
surance, since there are few, if any
States which place as many safe
guards about savings banks.

Great Possibilities.

If the insurance plan adopted today
in the Bay State prove successful, it
will probably mark the beginning of a
movement that will extend over the
entire country. 1t has been condemn
ed in certain high financial circles as
being "socialistic,' but its adherents
believe it is better for workingmen to
be ''socialistic" than to leave their
families in poverty and want.

SHOOTING AT ELvlNS
Elmer Baker Shot Through the Body
by Seventeen.year.0ld Lad
Named Thompson.

Elmer Baker was shot through the
body and seriously wounded by lad
named Harrison Thompson, better
known rs "Brockey Canter," at Il
dance at Elvins last Monday night.
It seems that young Thompson went
with his step.brolhcr, Bob Canter,
foreman at the Gumbo mines, to
EIvins. and after depositipg their
oyercoats ID Pulchrtt's saloon, which
ia in the same building where the
dance was ia progress, went to the
door of the dance hall to enter. Elmer
Baker was acting in the capacity of
floor manager or door.kcepcr, and de-
manded fifty cents entrance fee. There
had been illfecling between Baker aud
Canter for a couple of years, and some
dispute over the entrance fee ensued
when Canter invited Baker outside, at
the same time turning TO go out. As
be did so Baker struck him, the blow
bringing Canter TO his knees, and
Baker jumped or fell on him. As
Baker arose, young Thompson, Can
ters step-brother, drew bis pistol aud
fired, the ball entering Bakers right
side and passing through his body.
The ball was extracted by DR.. Perkins
ust under the skin on the left side.
We understand that the Doctor thinks
no vital parts were injured, and that
Baker will recover, though the wound
is a very serious one. Young Thomp.
son fled shortly after the shooting, and
has not yet been apprehended.

 Doctor Caldwell said that it was bis intention to cali 2 special meeting Of the Board of Trade in few days, probably tomorrow, and that at that meeting they would take up the wharf question. That is, they will decide on the best way to start about getting the money subscribed for the erection Of this wharf. The Board Of Trade started in to have free ferry and a new wharf for Pine Bluff. It has practically succeeded in the first, as the necessary money has all been sub scribed, and the ferry will be running by September | The second part they will now begin to look after, and Doctor Caldwell is just as certain that they will succeed in this undertaking g as in the first The special meeting will be called as soon as the matter is arranged so that definite action can be taken At this meeting the con- tract for the free ferry will be signed with w. T. McFadden and Henry Cady.
