BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
OVER IN HAMILTON
Steps Taken Monday Evening When
Meeting Was Held In the
City Hall.

HAMILTON, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-Monday
evening a meeting was held in tie
city hall at Hamilton for the purpose
of organizing the Boy Scouts move
ment in that city. Over forty boys
were present, and the indications are
that the movement will be great sue
cess.
AS is well known, the Boy Scout
organization is international in its
scope, with branches in England and
the continental countries of Europe,
as well as in America.
It's purpose Is to develop manly
christian men and wholesome citi-
zens out of the boys CT the present
generation, and endeavors to at
tain its ends by instilling in the boys
respect and reverence for the manly
qualities, liking for natural out
door sports, love and knowledge of
nature, and an appreciation of the ad-
| vantages of organization, discipline
ana obedience In the summer time,
camping parties, outdoor sports and
"hikes" In the country are planned
while in winter, indoor meetings, in
teresting tall, and cadet drills are
resorted to.
The present movement in this vi
cinity is under the charge of the Rev
Mr.. Mitchell, of Warsaw, who is par
! ticularly we'll qualified to head such an
organization. MIR. Mitchell, who Is q
i Scotchman b. birth, was an officer
Of the famous Gordon Highlanders
who served during the Boer war III
South Africa. After that war, he de
voted himself for several years tt
missionary work among the unciviliz
4 ed negroes of the Gold Coast in Wes
i Africa, and later came to America
where he organized the first "Bo,
j Scouts, among the Indian boys IL
Oklahoma. He has recently become
ia candidate for ministerial orders
and at present is in charge of thu
!, Episcopal churches at Warsaw, Ham
ilton and Meyer, Ill.
At the meeting Monday night, MI
II. o. Marsh of Warsaw, one of tn
Water Power engineers, was presen
and gave the boys little talk on tn
Philippine Scouts and their part II
/, the famous "Mugtown Disaster" l.
, the Island of Samar in 1905. Later
, the boys were put through shor
instruction in cadet drill.
The movement is a good one an
! deserving of success. ,,gs ~ -eeess

SOME AMAZING FIGURES.
**********$

Southern fire insurance companies
have instituted a movement in behalf
of their own interests and are asking
southern people to support the move
ment. Thirty odd fire companies of
the South have associated themselves
together for the principal purpose of
obtaining a greater share of the bust
ness of the South, and are depending
entirely upon the integrity of their
contracts and the known facts of their
underwriting abaility for the addition
al business desired. There has been
manifested no disposition to exploit
the fact that blood is thicker than
water" The interested companies
have contented themselves with point
ing out that fire insurance premiums
kept at home swell the circulation of
money In the South and aid greatly
in the development of that section if
the home companies are given all the
business they can write.
The most reliable fire insurance sta
tistics show that during three decades
past fourteen southern states paid
$70169S,3S7 for fire protection. OF
this sum only SOS, 1S1 ,112 was paid to
companies domiciled in those states,
while the enormous balance of $780,
517,275 went to the North and to Eu-
rope, leaving not even the most in
direct of advantages to accrue to the
section that had produced the money.
These figures may we'll interest not
only southern underwriters but south
ern financiers and other men of af-
fairs besides.
The territory now embraced by the
association in question consists of
Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Flor
ida. 1t is the intention of the organi-
cation to extend it's field of operations
so as to include Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas, so that fifty companies
shall benefit by the work of the asso-
citation and over 25,000000 of capital
and assets be represented. The most
thorough cooperation between mem
bers is being practiced, and even the
few southern companies that are not
members are enjoying a partial ad-
vantage.
The underwriting record of the
southern companies, upon which is
based the principal argument in their
new campaign for southern business,
is a remarkably clean one when com
pared with the experience of the coun-
try at large. Careful scrutiny of the
records Of southern companies that re-
tired from business during the thirty
years past shows very small finan-
cial loss and that borne almost entire
ly by stockholders. The only loss to
policy holders worthy of mention is
chargeable to the San Francisco dis
aster and In that case the southern
company involved made settlement
