Reduced Estimate of Self.

Commonly it is the man himself
who is the last person to discover
that a too high value has been put
upon his worth to the world. In his
book. "Afoot and Alone Stephen
Powers reports the case of negro
in the South before the Civil war who
came to the conclusion that he was
paving too much for himself wnen
he was buying his freedom.
He had belonged to an Alabama
planter who owned ferry on the
Chattahoochee river. This ferry the
negro had operated. To make the
ferryman faithful to his duty, the
owner had allowed him one-half his
earnings.
Harry saved his gains carefully.
and in the course of time proposed TO
his master to buy his freedom. The
master consented, and an agreement
was made that Harry should pay $3.50
for himself, half in hand.
Not long after this there came an
unusual freshet. Harry's sk.f was
capsized in the middle of the stream
and he himself was carried down two
or three miles before he could get
ashore. being then more dead than
alive Woefully bedraggled and di-
lapidated, he presented himself beioIe
his master.
"Marse John" he said. Il want tc

A MATTER DEMANDING SET.
ELEMENT.


II Is unfortunate that the common
council could not agree to adopt the
proposition recommended by the
highways and sewers committee for
the settlement OF the differences ex-
isting between the city and Contractor
J. w. Davis. The proposition was the
result Of a conference between the
contractors, the committee and City
Attorney Massie. and II appears TO
have been an eminently fair and de-
sirable one for all parties.
On account of the sand base" con-
troversy, the council withheld $1,000
OF the amount due Mr.. Davis on the
contract for brick paving. 1t has
been established that Mr.. Davis was
not responsible for this controversy:
that the sand base was laid by the
contractors employees In accordance
with the directions OF City Engineer
Pearse. However, Mr.. Massic advis
ed the committee to cause the con
tractor TO pay the difference between
the cost of the base as laid and the
cost of 1t as 1t should have been laid
The estimated difference in cost Is
something over four hundred dollars
Contractor Davis was not notified Il
stop work on paving in time to stoI
: shipment of brick enough to pave a
block, and he now has these bricks or
his hands. Mr.. Massie advised that
the contractor could insist upon the
city's authorizing him to pave an ad
difional block with this material. In
view of these facts. the committed
and MT Davis reached an agreement
under which the contractor was to b.
authorized to lay at contract price the
additional block OF paving, furnishing
concrete curb ap9 gse.er ~itSous cost
and the sand hase" difcrsnce was [,
be deducted from the 81 600 now with
held from him.
This proposition is such an equIta
bic one thatsft sseelus that the mem
bers of the council who opposed II.
acceptance could have had but on,

He said that some OF the companies
in Virginia could not 10 business
without the benefits c. association;
that some of the large companies
might be able to do business without
the combination, but that the small
er could not. Witness declared en-
phaticaliy that there could be no such
thing as free competition" in the IN
surance companies; that it is neces-
sary to have the Southeastern or
some other tariff association. He
thought the non-board companies in
Newport News could write all the in
surance in Newport, excepting the
shipyard, several times over, by re-
insuring. The non-board companies
do not give lower rates than those
prescribed by the association because
;'beir good judgment would tell them
Aot W w ~, ne bdlu NilueS5 Sdtu
that the tendency of the association
is to reduce fire hazards and that a
proportionate reduction in rates fol-
lowed. Captain Berkeley asked
whether or not that in the four states
in which the association operates the
rate decrease between 1904 and 1909
was l42, while the reduction in the
territory covered by the association
The decrease during the same period
was only 5.5 per cent The
witness did not know; he had not
looked up any statistics and was only
talking about conditions in his own
territory, which he knows something
about. Captain Berkeley asked If II
was a fact that eleven states in the
rnion having an average greater fire
loss than Virginia had lower rates
than this state. The witness did not
know, but he was sure the cost OF
doing business had something to do
with this condition. He thought the
State of Virginia, including municipal
;axes, taxes the insurance companies
higher than most any other state.

Combination Necessary.

Witness did not know what stems
The underwriters association took to-
wards having the Wharton law re-
fealed. Witness said that DUNG the
last session of the legislature there
was practically no effort to have the
Wharton law re-enacted. He is a
Democrat, he said, and does not be-
leye that the State should fix insur-
ance rates. Captain Berkeley asked
IL the witness believed that a comb.
nation OF all the insurance compan-
les, absolutely controlling insurance
rates. Is desirable because of the bene-
hts derived from the Combination in
she way of education toward the re.
auction OF fire hazards. The witness
replied that ne did. Mr.. Stuart ask.

DiGnf Hear ADDRESS.
Captain Berkeley again took up the
examination of the witness and ask
ed him II President Dan ID. Harris had
not stated in his speech at Hot Spring.
last month stated that it was not the
tendency of the association to reducs
the rates as had been charged by
some and that the rates in the States
controlled by the association had
been reduced only five and one-hals
Ter cent whereas the rates in the
states not controlled by the as
sociaticn had been reduced fourteen
or fifteen per cent. The witness had
cot read the speech OF President Har-
ris. he was not at Hot Springs and
knew nothing about the address. The
witness was asked II II was not fact
that the rates in states where the as
ISOLATION does not operate have been
lowered more than those in the states
where the association does operate
ard he replied that he did not know.
