The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday. September rs, 1907.
Mrs. Caroline q. Leaphart.

On December Is, 1891, we laid to
rest Hon. Godfrey Leaphart, who was
called from his labors in the hall of
the House of Representatives to his
long sleep. At that funeral the one
most bereaved was his wife, Caroline
Elizabeth Maffett. On the 18th inst.
we laid her body to rest in St. Steph-
ems church cemetery in Lexington.
She was born in Newberry county on
March %, 1928, and was married to
Rev. VIM. Berley on September II,
1843. It is singular to note she fell
asleep on the 64th anniversary of this
marriage. Rev. VIM. Berley preced-
ed her to the spirit land on April II,
1878. On February 20, 1877, she mar
ried Hon. Godfrey Leaphart. She
leaves one son, w. @. NJ. Berley, two
grand children, w. H. Berley and
Elizabeth Caroline Berley Kyzer, and
one adopted daughter, Nora Maffett
Huffman, besides several sisters and
many other connections in Newberry
and Saluda counties.
In her long life Of more than "a
years, she was all the time a consist
ent member of the Lutheran church,
although born and reared in section
where Lutherans were then not num-
erous. Many times have I seen her
in company with her late husband at
tending synods, conferences and COM
mencements, taking at all times the
greatest interest in the important
questions before the church. In her
every day life, during her activity,
she was ever thoughtful of the suffer
ing of others. Her neighbors will tell
you, in time of sickness and distress,
her visits were frequent, and never
without something to tempt the ap-
petite or to relieve the dullness of the
sick chamber. Her mortal life is
ended but let US follow the Christian
example she has left US of thought
fulness for the sufferings of others
and of unwavering faith in her Lord
and Master. These elements of her
life will not and cannot die, but live
to beckon those who knew her to
similar Deeds.
am requested by the immediate
family of the deceased to extend their
thanks to Mesdames Jno. M. Caugh-
man, H. M. Wingard, j. J. Fox and
John Taylor for continued kindnesses
in watching over and caring for their
mother in her last illness.
A FRIEND.

Washes Hands in Pulpit.

"I'll wash my hands of you. I have
done my duty by you. If you, want
to continue on in your road to hell it
amt my fault,' said Evangelist Bob
Jones recently at Decatur, Ala, as
he poured the contents of a glass of
water over his hands after preaching
a sermon on the furies of hell and
asking for mourners.
A few members of the congregation
went forward for prayer and Jones
spoke to the remainder of the congre-
CATION as above, after which he pray
ed for those who asked for prayer.
Jones is brother Of the late Sam
P. Jones of Georgia.

The Editor.

An editor is a millionaire without
money, a congressman out of a job, a
king without throne. He constructs
without hammer or saw, builds
railroad without rails or spikes, and
farms without a plow. He runs a
butcher shop in the journalistic world
and deals out brains for cash or credit.
He loves those who advertise with
him like brother. The editor is a
teacher, a lawyer, a preacher; he sends
forth truth to save souls and gets lost
himself. He heals the wounded,
cares for the dying, rescues the per-
ishing; and then starves himself, when
a ham sandwich of kindness would
jerk him from the jaws ofdeath.-Ex.

LOCAL INSURANCE
CpMPAN PLANNED
PROPOSITION TO BE FLOATED
If BONDS CARRY
Cheaper Fire Rates Promised If Owens
River Water Comes to Los
Angeles, but Not Other
wise

Awaiting the result of the Owens
river bond election number of local
capitalists are holding themselves in
readiness to proceed with plans for the
formation of a fire insurance company
which will insure cheaper rates for
Los Angeles than are now in force.
Should the election result favorably for
the bonds the organizers will file their
incorporation papers at once, but
should the interests Of the city be
jeopardlzed by defeat of the bonds
then no further work toward forming
the company will be done.
According to the present plan, if the
bonds carry, the morning after cleo
tion Karl K. Kennedy of the Security
Securities company in the 1. w. He'll
man building will begin taking sub
scriptions for the stock in the new
company. Mr.. Kennedy has much ex-
perience to his credit in this line of
work, as he successfully promoted the
Occidental Life Insurance company,
which was formed here last year.
To Assure Future
"If the bonds go through, as they
should" said Mr.. Kennedy, I'VE will
Immediately organize a fire insurance
company for Los Angeles. The city Is
safe enough now, but we want to see
it's. future assured and Owens river
will guarantee plenty of protection in
The line of water.
1.-THE people of Los Angeles realize
that they are paying too much for in
surance, and that a board of under
writer's sitting in San Francisco prac-
tically dictate the rates to this city
They also know how friendly the north
ern city is to Los Angeles.
Wien our company is sufficiently
organized we will have sufficient repre-
sentation on the board to look after our
interests. Then it is most probable that
the rates in this city will be lowered
to raj. to conform with the present
'centagc of loss.
LOS Angeles is the only city in the
country of it's size which has no local
fire insurance company. At present
81, ,250, 900 ir fire premiums go out of the
city every year, and only $425,000 of
this, takini; last years figures as a
basis, returns in the shape of losses
paid.
Applications from Everywhere
Applications for stock have been
received from Denver, New York, San
Francisco, San Diego, Pasadena and
many OLner pldceS' anu IL LHe potiuS
are approved at the election we hope
to write business within the next sixty
days"
Amos the local capitalists who have
offered to subscribe to the stock are
William Mead, president of the Cen
trail bank; w. r. Hervey, vice presi-
dent of the American National bank:
w. II. Faust, A. A. Allen and II. t.
Lamey of Denver. The new company
will be known as the Western National
Fire Insurance company, and will start
business with a capital stock of $780,
600 and like amount as surplus.

COAL SITUATION.

We cannot impress our read
ers too strongly with the abso-
lutte necessity of laying in their
winters coal supply at the pres
ent moment. Coal is now plenti-
full on the docks at the head of
the lakes, and is daily arriving.
The apprehension and discom-
fort caused by the limited fuel
supply last winter, still remains
wildly in our minds, and to pre-
vent a possible repetition of this
it is imperative that we stock
up for our winters supply now.
The storage facilities of our To-
cal dealers should be increased
if necessary, and the fall and
winters supply should be procur-
ed at present, while cars to tran
sport the fuel are plentiful.
Dealers and fuel consumers
should cooperate to avoid a re-
currence Of last winters condi.

At last the citizens of the west
end Of the city will have ade-
quate fire protection, which the
disastrous Curry fire of last
month fully demonstrated that
they were badly in need of. A
permit from the Great Northern
headquarters was received this
morning, allowing the city to
connect with the railroads
water line leading from Sweet
water lake. All that remains
necessary for the city to do now
is to lay required piping for the
connection, not a cent being
charged by the railroad for the
use of their water. This is an
improvement that has long been
needed, in fact, ever since the
building Of the new addition in
the west part of the city, and
the residents of that locality are
accordingly grateful :. 4 I.

The military tour of duty just
completed, wherein the state mil
iua received much valuable
knowledge from the regulars
who were camped with them, has
been reckoned by the officers in
charge to have been a most sue
cessfM one. 1t lis Z the intention
of the authorities, it is under
stood, to endeavor to make the
addition of a battalion of regu-
lars in camp with the state sold

to us to be an excellent idea, as
the benefit of close intimacy with

but be productive Of the best re.
suits. They are all, besides be.

their short stay here, conducted
themselves as such.

The insurgents had a very
mild jamboree in the city Satur-
day afternoon. State senators,
representatives, an ex-governor
and several other political lights
of the insurgent camp met in
Odd Fellows hall, and had a
"love" feast. At least so it is
reported. We have to go by hear
say, as the meeting was distinct
ly held behind closed doors, it
being given out before hand that
reporters and newspaper men
were absolutely barred. AS near
as we can make out, the meeting
was held in the interests and for
the sole purpose of ''organiza-
tion," and to devise ways and
means for a complete victory for
the AFORESAID lnsurgent camp,
Burleigh Spalding is reported to
have acted as chairman and
'spread it on in a fashion which
emphasized that it was a case of
"big I and little YOU" Every one
present-at least, almost every
one-made patriotic speeches,
and signifed their wish of want
ing to save the country. But
about the only thing tangible
that was accomplished was the
appointing of a committee" to
guide the helm of the insurgent
ship in the future. All in all the
meeting was accounted a great
success-maybe.

The plan of the American So
ciety of Equity to have a termi-
nal elevator at Duluth or Su-
perior is fairly certain of sue
cess. The North Dakota Bank
ers association is cooperating
with the society and arrange
ments may be made by which
the plan can be financed. The
members of the society will pro-
badly assist in the movement by
taking blocks of stock in pro-
portion to their ability. The
proposition to finance the entire
movement is a big affair be-
cause it will include more than
the erection of the elevator.
There are some members of the
society who will be unable to
hold their wheat to assist in the
control Of prices, without at
least some advance being made
to them to meet pressing obliga-
tons. The more prosperous
members can keep their grain
till prices reach the desired
point Starkweather Times.

noticeable fact, which has hap
pened in no former year, that
the attendance during the last
days of the Chautauqua was
much larger than it was at the
commencement, or even in the
middle of the session. This, the
management attributes to the
fact that the excellance of the
programs were maintained all
through the season, some of the
strongest numbers appearing
near the close. President
Kelly of the Farmers road ran
several excursions on that line
during the session, which we're
we'll patronized, and for which
the management have attested
their appreciation. They also
appreciate the excellent behavior
of the soldiers which were

ing the time they were present
at Chautauquaa saying that

discipline being maintained at

The proposition which the city
now finds itself up against in
the matter of providing more
and more suitable accommoda-
tons for the worknen employed
in the Great Northern shops,
daily becomes more serious. The
men complain that the price
asked for board by the local res
tauranters is excessively high,
and say that they will not pay it.
For this reason the railroad COM
pany is at present having a, hard
time in keeping the help that
they have, and d harder time in
securing additional labor from
