FAIL TO MEET LAW
COMMISSIONER SEXTON LOOKS AF-
 TER DERsuNGHAM COMPANIES
Mutual seciea1es Have Failed to Meet the Roquirernents of the
 New Fnsnrance> Laws

Deputy Insurance Commissioner A. C.
 Sexton left Montgomery last night for
 Birmingham for the purpose of making
 an in vestigation of certain mutual aid"
 insurance companies whose headquar- ters are In that city and whose offi-
 cers have so far failed to file their am
 nual report4 with the Alabama Instir-
 ance Department
 It is Aid there are some three or
 four of these companies in Birming-
 ham. doing business throughout the State which have not only not filed their annual reports for last years business
 but have not deposited with the State Treasurer the necessary amount of se- curities to qualify them for doing bus mess this year. It is for the purpose of hurrying up these companies to com ply with the law in thess respects. and comply more promptly, that Deputy Commissioner Sexton has gone to Birm- ingham.
 There Is no suspicion that the mu- tual aid organisations to be visited by Captain Sexton are in an embarrassed financial condition. It is believed that the officers thereof have not fully real ized their obligation to perform certain acts on or before March in order to conduct their business this year. The Insurance Department. under the law.
 Is given some discretion in this matter but a valid excuse always has to be offered before the companies will be ex- cused.
 Deputy Sexton announced yesterday that the total receipts of the Insur-
 ance Department for January and Feb
 ruary. 1908. are far in excess of those
 for the same period in 1907. The az
 gregate receipts from ell sources this year up to March 1 were S170.S3s.ss.
 while the totals for 1907. same period,
 amounted to only s111.52s4s. thus giv-
 ing a gain credit this year of s5ssslo.Ss. There was an unusually large volume
 of receipts for February this year, oW-
 Ing in a large degree to the prompting work of Deputy Commissioner Sexton, who has insisted in letter following letter, and telegram following tele- gram, on the companies complying this year punetually with the laws of the State requisite to doing business. The
 February collections were si2s.7s4.l2,
 being more than treble the amount for
 January this year when the receipts were S41,049.7e.

NEGRO PASSED BOGUS CHECK,

Slick Darkey Had Clever Scheme To
 Work Two Ways.
 B. c. Ramage. proprietor of the Mont gomery Marble Works, figured Wednes- day as the victim in a cleverly concoct- ed fake-check- scheme, of which the prepetrator Is an unknown negro.
 The negro purchased of MT. Ramage marble of, the value of $45.60, present. ing in payment a bogue check for $50 and receving MT. Ramage's check for the difference. This check he tried unsuccessfu1ly to cash.
 Evolving a new idea he proceeded te the Rhodes Furniture Company's es- tablishment and there purchased $2O worth of furniture. Mir. Ramage3s check was presented in settlement The negro's appearance and actions we're so little suggestive of fraud that no suspicioun of his honesty was for an instnt entertained. The result was that the dusky diplomat left with S14.40 desiring that the furniture be sent to 10 South Lawrence street He has not been heard of since.

SUNDAYS Game, Welsh vs.. Rice.

\ practice game of base ball was
plaved Sunday between Welsh and
Rice, the principal feature Of the
game being the bountiful number Of
errors on both sides In the first
three innings no scores were made on
either side. In the succeeding five
innings Rice crossed the pan with
eight scores, and Welsh with five.
In the first half Of the ninth Rice
crossed the pan with five scores and
Welsh in her half of the ninth man
aged to bring in eight scores, leaving
the scores tied. AS Welsh took the
field in the first half of the tenth, an
argument arose between the two teams
as to the correctness Of the score,
Rice claiming that the score was
fourteen to thirteen in their favor.
The game was therefore awarded to
Rice. a good prectice game will be
played Saturday between Welsh and
Iowa. Come out everybody and see
the game.

Anent Parish Division.

Anent the subject of parish division
which the silver-tongued orators of
the various would be-parish- seat
towns tell US has the unanimous sup
port of everything outside OF Lake
Charles, the Lake Arthur Herald has
the following to say: "We do not
believe the people of Calcasieu are
ready for division at this time. One
great trouble is that our parish d.
visionists wait until about time for
the legislature to meet and then pop
I'D with a cut and dried scheme.
This question OF division is OF
too much importance to be decided In
the short time allowed by the radical
advocates of the measure. While we
think Calcasieu must be divided al
some time, it should not be done
without a careful and thorough In
yestigation of the matter, and the
whole question should be submitted tt
a vote OF the people interested after
thorough and open discussion.
