Marina Insurance,

Marine insurance is the oldest kind
Of modern insurance. Its principles
were first employed in the fourteenth
century by the merchants OF BARGE
Iona, in Spain. when that city was
the capital OF the kingdom OF Cata-
lonia and when its hardy mariners
were second to none in the world.
About the same time. and also at
Barcelona. the famous code of mari.
time laws known as the "consulado
del mar" was promulgated. which is
the foundation OF the present shipping
laws OF every country.

 FEAn all accounts, Georgia is remarka- ply behind the other states in the matter
 of contributions to the national demo-
 cratic campaign fund.
 The subscription of Georgia democrats
 have not only been scant, but small in
 amount. One contribution of $25 is re-
 called, but the others have run from $1
 to $5. There was one contribution of
 S100 announced, but 1t was made by a
 corporation chartered under the Georgia
 laws, and when attention was called to
 the law prohibiting contributions by cor
 porations nothing more was heard of 1t. Whether it reached the treasurer of the , national committee is matter of con-
 siderable doubt.
 It is impossible to give the exact
 amount contributed by Georgia demo-
 crats to the national campaign fund, but those who have been watching the mat
 ter estimate the total of the contributions
 at not more than $500 or $400 al told. According to the recent announcement of Chairman Norman E. Mack, individual | democrats in 15 states have given from
 $500 to $25O0 each. In view of the intense rivalry which exists between the two factions of the democratic party in Georgia, and as a re-
 suit of which their leaders are always
 playing for points in the national game, 1t would appear that evidence of material interest in the campaign would be some what more extensive. But 1t Is apparent that this rivalry does not extend to the pocketbook. Ther has. so far, been no effort to see which one of the factions could contribute the greatest amount to | the expenses of the national campaign. | Appeals made to Georgia democrats to | assist in the work have thus far fallen
 on deaf ears. But the leaders of both | wings of the party are still stril1ngly in
 evidence in asserting their loyalty. Whether Georgians have more calls | upon them for public contributions than do citizens of other states, and are there 1 fore inclined to hold back, or whether | they are indifferent to this particular request, can only be surmised. | Atlanta, for instance, would quickly | get up 5000 or more if it were needed to entertain MT. Bryan on the occasion of a visit here, and she would probably do the l same thing for MT. Taft. But when it | comes to shelling out for campaign ex- penses, Atlanta is about as backward as i! the rest of the state.
 l Indications all now point to the fact
 that Georgia will be found in rather a back seat when publication is made of l the contributions to the national demo- | cratic fund.
 l Whether that means anything in the way of a reduction of the usual demo-
 cratic majority in November remains to be seen. Democratic leaders express 1 themselves firm in the belief that Georgia | will give Bryan and Kern a bigger ma | jority than the state has ever given the l national ticket.
 1 At the same time Georgia is not giving l them the campaign cash, and the fact | has been noticed at national headquar ters. Perhaps it would be remembered too in the event the democracy should | chance to win.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-11

some time during the next two weeks.
 Of course Judge Taft Is not coming with any idea of. throwing away his tune, all of which is valuable with the election close at hand, nor is 1t believed possible that any of his friends could have per suaded him that he has chance to carry Georgia. It is not likely that he indulges any such hope
 The only reasonable solution ss that Judge Taft has some hopes of making inroads in the democratic strength iD Georgia and building up a stronger re- publican sentiment here.
 A petition has been forwarded to Judge
 Taft, signed by something like 1000 Att lantans, business men, bankers, mer- chants and professional men, requesting him to come here during the campaign and make a speech. It is said that many
 of these are stanch democrats, but would naturally like to hear speak and to see
 so prominent an American, and particu- larly would they like to have him come to Atlanta.
 Some seem to think that Atlanta will go republican, but it will take the change
 of a good many votes to get the city away from it's democratic record. The complete failure of the independ- ence movement, as evidenced in the re-
  day, was no less surprise to some of
 the prominent democratic leaders than to the independents themselves. While no one, of course, conceded any possibility of independent success. prom
 inent democrats before the election practi-
 cally conceded that Yancey Carter would get 25,000 votes in his race for governor. and they feared, as a result of state con
 l. I nod 1faxr more. But with the official count in from
 all but six or eight counties, it is appa- rent that Carter's vote will be less than 12,0O0.
 Hon. Joseph NJ. Browns majority which has fully met the predictions of 100, 900, surpassed even the sanguine ex- pectations of his ardent friends. Predic- tions are always put above expectations. particularly in political contests. But the fact that there was opposition, even though it was not formidable taken in conjunction with the fact that the dis
 franchisement amendment to the consti- tuition brought breat many voters to the polls resulted in the primary nominee receiving a much larger vote than would otherwise have been the case. | The success of the disfranchisement | amendment was never in any danger. though some of it's friends appeared, just
 before the election, to think so. The of 1 ficial majority in favor of the amendment l will be somewhere between d5.0O0 and l 4OO00.
 | It is understood to be the purposa of | Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown to i spend his time between no wand his in | auguration, which does not take place until next June, in travelling over the | state and to visit every county in Georgia which he has not yet had opportunity of visiting Having gone into every county | and seen the people, he will become fa- miliar with conditions and with theii 1 needs and wants.
 | After his Inauguration he proposes tc 1 stick closely to the executive office and | to devote his time to it's duties.
