To the Insuring Public:
Since the LIST day of January | have
written S4S6 400 fire and lightning in
surance, and S47i,67O cyclone insurance
in the five old-line companies repre-
sent in the Woodbine agency. $46.S60
of this has been cancelled out of the
county nutuals in my territory. most
of it being from the Harrison County
Mutual. Nine old-line policies have
been sent to me for cancellation by the
Strong Man" of the Harrison County
Mutual. Just how he persuaded I, ese
nine people to cancel a policy g was
only costing them 81 mills pc. year
and take out a policy in his company
that has charged ~ mills on stock for
the past three years and S mills four
years ago Gncluding policy fee,) is a
mystery that good business men can
not understand. Remember the old
line companies represent only charge
80 mills for all kinds of property,
whether good dwellings or stock-the
charges are the same. 1t only costs
you 35c per year to insure a horse SO
that in case of loss you can draw the
full value up to $50. and l5c per year
insure COW so in case of loss you can
draw the full market value up to $40.
If you want the best and cheapest fire
insurance written in Harrison county
and know just what it will cost you
without going into speculation game,
write or call me up by phone at my ex-
pense and will attend to your wants.

DOWLING-BARNETT.
Happily Married at the Residence of
j. ID. Radford last Night.

Last evening, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. D. Radford, on Ohio
avenue. R. l.. Bowling led to the
altar Miss Beulah Barnette, Ed. j. T.
Butler officiating. Only Mr.. Radford's
family witnessed the ceremony, which
was a disappointment to the hun
dreds of friends of the contracting
parties in Live Oak, who have been
under the firm belief that the happy
event would soon take place and ex-
pected that brilliant wedding
would occur at the Advent church,
and every man, woman and child in
the city would be given an opport-
unity to witness the affair.
However, they are happily married,
and all Live Oak showers congratula-
lions. r. L. Bowling, the groom, is
one of our wealthiest and best bust
ness men, being prominently connect
ed with the Bowling Lumber and
Naval Stores Company, and the Live
Oak, Perry & Gulf Railway, a man
of influence and wealth, genial and
kind and we'll fitted for the life COM
panion he has chosen.
Miss Barnette, the bride, has been
a teacher in our High School for two
years. She came here from Lake
City, but we understand her parents
reside in Texas. She is a young lady
of high character, naturally lovable in
her nature, and during her sojourn
here has proved herself to be worthy
of the love and esteem of every per-
son. Modest and retiring, she COM
handed respect, and received it. She
is a typical Southern girl, and will
bring Joy and sunshine to the home
of her husband.
The Democrat extends hearty con-
CALCULATIONS to the bride and groom,
who, Immediately after the ceremony,
left in an automobile to make their
future home in the palatial residence
recently erected by the lated in West

A MODEST REQUEST.
Will Business Men Assist In the Great
Meeting to Begin Sunday.

Dear Democrat:I want to make one
or two suggestions through the pa
per to our business men regarding
the Broughton meetings, which are
to begin in this city next Sunday.
In the first place, gentlemen,
want to call you to witness that for
almost three years l have lost no op-
portunity to aid every legitimate
business enterprise connected with
our life, and have done so much as
any other one man to advertise our
resources abroad. 1t is true that
have only called the attention of out
siders to the advantages we had to
offer, but by SO doing we have added
greatly to our volume of business and
increased our desirable citizenry.
Both as minister and as a citizen,
have tried to help rather than hind
er you ultimate success in business.
But so much for all this.
In the second place l want to call
your attention to the fact that Live
Oak has never had so prominent a
minister within her gates as she will
have when DR.. Broughton gets here.
No man in America breaches to so
/ large sustained congregation as he
does, and for the Sunday he gives to
Live Oak, he was offered $500 by
another congregation if he would give
them that day and dedicate their new
$4,000 church. l also saw a letter
from another city offering him $4,000
for the last two weeks in June.
Now, with these two things in
mind, l want you to ask yourselves
the question: What is my duty re-
garding these meetings? Shall l close
my place of business one hour each
day during the ten days meeting, and
let my clerks and patrons go to
church, or shall l not?" l believe
that such an action upon your part
as business men would have an in
fiuence for good that would quicken
the religious pulse of the entire city.
shall make no quarrel with you, do
as you may, but l shall always be-
lieve that you will be subscribing your
own best interest by doing as sug-
gested. Most sincerely and truly,
G.. A. RIDLEY.

STATE LIFE INSURANCE KILLED.
Governor BrOward's Pet Scheme Met
Death i'm the Lower House.

Tallahassee, May Estate life
insurance met a death blow for the
present session in the house of repre-
sentatives yesterday. in the indefinite
postponement Of Mr.. Registers bill,
empowering the board of state insti-
tutions to conduct a life insurance
business in behalf of the state. The
vote on the motion, which was made
nv Mr.. Dorman of Suwannee, was
Sc to %, and nearly all the talking
was done on the insurance side. In
deed, Mr.. Malone, of Monroe, was the
only man who spoke against the bill,
while it was championed by Mr..
Reese, Mr.. Matthews of Marion, Mr.
Pettigrew, Mr.. Parkinson and Mr..
Register himself, all recognized
friends of the administration on gen.
eral principles. To Mr.. Malone then
NAV be conceded the credit so far at
any rate as work on the floor went,
for the defeat of what he considered
most dangerous measure, paternal-
istic and capable of vast amount of
corruption, while the supporters of
the measure regarded it as one with
possibilities of great good to the
state, for the insuring of the lives of
its citizens and their financial well
fare, with less chance of graft and
fraud than under the private compan-
les. Following SO swiftly upon the
heels of the passage by an overwhelm-
ing vote in both houses of the Crane
drainage bill, the heavy vote against
this other most cherished project of
Governor Broward's was doubly
surprise to those who had expected
the insurance law to pass the house.
The bill was not, it is learned, pass
ed upon by the majority caucus of
the house, otherwise designated as
the Before Day Club" which was
organized for the passage of the
drainage bill and one or two others
Of leading interest, this particular bill
being submitted to the house on its
merits without consideration by the
caucus.
The house passed Senator Jackson's
bin providing for a commission to
adjust the Indian War claims, but
reduced their power to that of re-
eommending settlement to the next
legislature, and specifically provided
hat they are not to consider the
WALES claim or any other passed
upon by previous session of the leg

! propriation bill.
