MAJOR STOUT IS DEAD

Montgomery, September 3.-(Special.) J. Frank N. Julian, state commissioner of insurance, is greatly pleased with the work of the legislature, so far as insur- ance goes. The most important act Is that for a fire marshal, which is regarded as step along at a rapid rate. Great good is also to come of the law to force miscellaneous companies to have capital stock, and one of much moment is to prevent rebates of any kind
 One act that will bring in money pro- hibits a company going out of business reinsuring in company outside the state without the state getting credit for it In the matter of taxes. It may be re- insured in local company, but if it goes outside 1t must be paid for. Among oth- CTS that will work for good are these, all signed by the governor: Providing for deposits by foreign companies, for re- sorts of violations of insurance laws to solicitors, for taking over business of aid companies, allowing credit for return premiums, to amend surety company laws to meet conditions of the office. and other of minor nature

Method of Maintaining Highways and
Filling Up Soft Spots.
Ii may interest many to learn how
road maintenance is carried out in
Great Britain and Ireland. All roads
and bridges are under the direct
charge of the county surveyor, who Is
in all cases a qualified civil engineer,
with assistants under him TO see to
the detail work. He divides the roads
Of the county into sections, as seems
best TO him for maintenance purposes.
These several sections are advertised
locally in the newspapers and by 9th
tv means, and bids are invited for their
maintenance for six or twelve months,
Says James Johnston of Douglas coun-
tv. Neb, in the Breeders Gazette OF
Chicago. These bids are opened on
Ccrrutn day by a board of county com
luiasigners, assisted by the county sur
Veypr. The lowest bidder gets the
w9rE. but no bid is accepted unit! the
successful bidder puts up bond'
R,-4el by TWO solvent sureties that the

At a meeting of the Grange Lecturers
and Masters Association of jefferson
County. n. T.. l.. ]. Allen delivered an
address on The Work OF the Grarge
Correspondent" In writing grange
news for tAe press. he remarked, Spe-
cial attention should be given TO facts
Of general interest, The letter, it mast
be remembered viii be read by hun
dreds or thousands outside the Nom
bor+hip of the one particular grange
whose proceedings are made public.
Cor sequcHtly so far as possible the re-
port should minimize the features Of
interest to the few and make proui-
ncrt wha! will be of interest to the
many II is Of general interest to know
the result Of discussions on public
questions brought up in the grange.
Some correspondents mention the fact
tha- their grange discussed a certain
current topic, but neglect what is
more important 10 tell-what was the
vcI lict Of the grange.
The discussion in the grange Of i'm
pol ant current events and Of various
phases Of farm and domestic life,
with the many problems involved. Is
increasing IN q most gratifying man
ner IN fact, it is right here that lies
the oranges greatest opportunity for
good. The grange thus becomes a
training school, sort of miniature
farmers institute, where personal
views and experiences are compared
for the good of all. Where there is
sorne uniformity in the discussion of
questions by the oranges in one county
or section the reports of these discus
sions become the more interesting, and
by a study of these published In re-
ports the reader is enabled to know the
drift of opinions among these repre-
sentative agriculturists on public ques-
tiors. The correspondent then should
give In his report a concise summary
of the views expressed, for 1t is inf
nitely of more value to know what the
members think on a certain question
than to be simply told that the grange
discussed the topic.
In reporting the, literary features OF

influence for the grange in his native

high position which he now holds.
