insurance Clearing House

Owing to a steady improvement of the insurance rates in Montgomery, agents of this city have put on foot move ment whereby it is hoped that local clearing house may be established at an early moment. Information is being gathered from larger cities relative to the success of such institutions in other states, and official committees of the board of underwriters and other insur- ance organizations are working together to achieve the end desired.
 The object of the proposed clearing house is to save money, especially in col lections, and at the same time to elim- mate the sale of policies on credit to men who stick by the insurance com pany until their names are dropped, and who thereupon go with another company, also on credit.

Tnylor Reappointed

Chief of Police w. H. Taylor and his entire force of policemen were re-appoint- ed for another year at a session which was held in this city yesterday after noon. Not a single change was made in the present department officials, though stringent rules were laid down for the en- forcement of all the laws of the city and of the state. It was also stipulated that citizens must be treated with respect, and that the club must not be called into commission except in the gravest cases.
 The charge made by the Montgomery county grand jury, which recently repre- sented to the citizens that the policemen were not cooperating with the sheriff in the enforcement of the prohibition laws, was discussed at length by the eommis- sion, the decision being reached that it is the duty of the force to see to the en- forcement of the ''state-wide' laws as diligently as if they were written in the cjtys code

If cotton keeps up it's tumbling act. in the opinion of Montgomery factors, 1t will soon be down to some of the low marks reached by last year, and the cotton year of 1908. The freeze of Sat urday night and Sunday sent the local spot prices from a fraction above 14 cents to fraction below that coveted goal-one of the few times this year that the staple has sold for less than what is looked upon this year as the standard price.
 Local warehouses have good supply on hand, and the staple is still coming to Court square in bountiful quantities.

Army Starvation.

An interesting controversy is prevailing
among the military authorities concern
ing the necessity of an army emergency
ration. The new ration of this type is
composed of three cakes, each made up
OF a mixture of chocolate, milk. and egg,
the whole in a tin envelope. which. on
account of its shape, size, and weight, is
easily carried in the pocket of the soldier
The three cakes are expected to subsist
a man for one day. Gen. F. D. Grant. on
his recent physical test, covering a period
Of three days, was able to live on a
third Of the allotted ration, with no
detrimental effect upon his physical
comfort and with no sense of hunger
Others have had the same experience
One army officer. however, writes that he
prefers to go without food to subsisting
upon the emergency ration, and there are
others in the service who share with him
this preference. This has brought up a
question whether it is necessary to have
an emergency ration, requiring the gov
eminent to go to considerable expense
in acquiring a reserve stock of this class
of army subsistence. The critics of the
emergency ration make much of the fact
that they have been able TO get along
without food for short periods when they
might have used the emergency ration.
OF course, the emergency ration is not
intended as regular soldier diet in the
field All sorts of special provisions have
been made by the army officers to meet
the most unpronising and difficult situa-
tons, but there will be times, obviously,
when the command is remote from the
base of supplies and cannot be reached
by the field bakeries for hours In such
an event the emergency ration, as its
name implies, must serve very useful
purpose in maintaining the strength of
the fighter and preventing collapse from
lack of food when he may be required TO
march long distances and be exposed to
the risors of inciement weather The
emergency ration, in reality. is a sub
stitute for nothing at all in the way of
food. 1t is precaution against hunger.

paralyzing, effect upon the soldier. Those

sroNEwALL JACKsoN's DEATH
Veteran Believes He Was Directly
Responsible for Leaders End.

From the Springfield Republican.
John Hays, Northern soldier, who be-
ionged 10 the Third Division of the Sec
ond Army Corps. in the civil war. visited
the battlefield at Charlottesville re-
Gently. and after looking over the lay
Of the land closely, has since come TO the
conclusion that he was directly RESPONSE
bic for the shooting of Stonewal Jackson
on May 2. 1853. which resulted in his
death few days later. The cavalry 20
which Hays belonged was ordered TO re-
port 10 Gen. Berry during the battle,
but Berry cOrld not be located. and Hays
was sent out as a scout 10 find him.
He found Gen. Couch, and asked him
where the brigade should go. and re-
ceived the reply. damn il, go to where
the fighting isi' So Hays started back,
but could not find his brigade. II was
dusk. and while riding down a lonely
road he noticed little group of mounted
men. Thinking. they were Union sol
diers, he started toward them, when a
Voiley Of musketry ripped out from all
sides of him. His horse, never having
received baptism Of fire. wheeled and
bolted down the road
Hays turned as he went and saw a
connection among the horsemen, and
came to the conclusion that the volley
had taken effect ons them instead Of
killing him. A few days later lie heard
that Gen. Jackson had been fatally shot
by his own men al this place. Upon his
recent visit to the field he relocated the
old landmarks. and Confederate officer,
who was with Jackson, bore out his
theory.
