To My Clients in
YOrkYille

About one year ago l took the pains
and went to the expense of advising
every owner of a dwelling who reads
The Enquirer that all the fire insur-
ance companies would in future make
an extra charge in dwelling rates
where all stove f1ues were not built
suspended on iron stirrups and the
brick laid FLAT from bottom to top.
and the flue or flues plaStered inside.
In other words, If the brick were set
on edge or the flue was terra Gotta
or metal, the charge would apply.
The reason for the charge Is that by
reason of their experience the COM
panies KNOW that many fires orig
mate from defective stove fues. and
all flues are defective except the kind
for which there is no extra charge.
Originally the rule did not apply to
towns that had adequate fire protec-
ton. but 1t does now, and recently
practically all the dwellings in York
willie have been rated, and when there
is defective flue the rate is advanced
IS cents on the 500, which means
that $1,000 insurance will cost $500
more for three year periods than for
merly. / suggest that all my clients
in Yorkville examine their fiues and
II not found standard that they have
them changed at once. The advance
does not apply to policies already In
force, but will apply when policy ex-
pires. shall be pleased to inform
any property owner who may inquire
whether or not his or her stove fiue
is as 1t should be. The extra charge
in towns without fire protection and
in the country is 25 cents the 800, or
$3.50 the $1,000 for one year. or
SIS 90 for three year periods.

pose this year. ..... James r. Mann,
of Illinois, minority leader Of the house
OF representatives, says that nothing

state Republican executive commit

to the Republican state convention to
a primary. The army aviation
camp has changed its quarters from
Washington to Augusta. .... "A Hong
Kong dispatch says that revolutionary
soldiers at Wu Chow, China have
been cutting out, roasting and eating
the hearts of prisoners. The in
ternational sensation of the week was
the speech of Sir Edward Grey. the
British secretary of foreign affairs. In
the British house of commons, last
Monday on the Moroccan question.
The, speech made 1t plain that Great
Britain had given Germany TO
understand that she was on the side
of France in the matter, and that
Germany must be careful.

track promoters are to become public
benefactors They announce that they
propose to give away a number of
thoroughbred stations for distribu-
ton throughout the state, the object
being to improve the stock Of horses
in South Carolina. Horse racing is
evidently a very profitable graft II the
promoters can offer to be so liberal.

HUNTER WOUNDED
WITH SHOT IN LEG
Louis Lambert, Aged 20, of Johnson Will
Recover-His Assailant Is Not
Known.

Morrisville, Nov, 25.-Louis Lambert,
20 years old, a carpenter living in John
son village with his wife and two young
children, who was out shooting deer yes
terday on Perkins hill with his friend,
Il. S. Fletcher, farmer, was shot and
seriously wounded in the left leg
The two men were in the underbrush
stalking d deer, when they heard a shot
and Lambert felt stinging sensation in
his leg. He soon was overcome by the
loss OF blood and too weak to support
himself. Fletcher carried him a mile
through the forests and underbrush to
his farmhouse, where he put the wound
ed man into farm wagon and drove
him to johnson village, where DIR. e. i.
Holcomb dressed the injuries. Lambert
was left at his home, and although he is
very weak from the loss OF blood his
recovery is assured.
An effort was made to ascertain who
shot Lambert, but it was unsuccessful
The woods are full of deer hunters, and
IL is suspected that some man saw Lam
bert and mistook him for deer and
fired at him.

The offense. it is said, was a violation
Of the law, Mrs. SOletti's guilt being

extenuating phase Of the ease. together
with the alleged fact that the complaint
was made out Of spite and in spirit
Of revenge, led the justice to place the

SCORED SECOND SUCCESS.
Knights of Pythias Minstrels Had An
other Big Crowd Last Night.

The Knights of Pythas minstrels ap
peared before another large audience in
the opera house last evening and easily
duplicated their success of the previous
night. The blackfaeed comedians, the
soloists of the circle, the chorus of over
fifty voices and the various participates
in the olio repeated the same meritoricus
performance and If anything, the show
moved along more rapidly, and with a
greater degree Of precision, perhaps, than
on the occasion of the first performance.
The audience was ever ready TO show
its appreciation OF the production and
every whit Of it was deserved. The min
strels appeared in Barre for the last time
last night, although it is possible that
the show may be presented in some
nearby town, as was the case last year,
when the "Dokies" made their initial
appearance.
The electrical effects, which have
caused so much favorable comment dur
ing the two performances. were brought
about through the efforts Of Carl G. Per-
kins, the Depot square electrician, who
generously donated considerable time and
labor toward making this feature Of the
production as near perfect as possible.
Figures as TO the exact attendance
during the two nights and the total re-
ceipts of the two performances are not
obtainable, but it is quite certain that
the Pythians will realize good sum Of
money as result of their efforts, aft
er all expenses are paid.

THAT PAVING CONTRACT.
Representative of o'connell g. Sons Has
Something to Say About It.

Editor of The Times-Dear Sir: No
yember IL, the information was brought
out in the city council that the city had
an unpaid bill of 1857 for crushed gran
ite against the contractors, Daniel 0'Con.
nell & Sons, and that there were also
minor bills outstanding against the COM
pany For Daniel 0Connell & Sons,
wish to say that this is false. City
Engineer Reed accepted the contract as
completed the day we left Barre and
gave ME an estimate signed by him to
that effect, which ! showed to the mayor
and board of aldermen. Two weeks
later Mr. 0Connell wrote to the City Of
Barre for certified check and balance due
him. He received reply, stating that
the board of aldermen refused to give
up check for balance Of job, as it was
not accepted, as they claimed. Mr. Reed
accepted the job and should have advised
the board of aldermen of that fact.
In regard to the matter of city labor.
ers employed by us, Superintendent of
Streets j. G. DeBrune paid said laborers
at the rate Of $3.50 per day with the
exception of one or two, who received
$2:25; yet it is charged up to us at the
rate of $2.25 per day to each and every
man. The men did not receive this
amount from the city, although we paid
the 1925 rate to the city. The reason
why the bills given to me and the bills
given to the city clerk did not corre-
spond is because Mr.. DeBrune gave me the
bills at 81 80 per day tor each man, and
gave the city clerk bills for 1925 per
day, each man. Mr.. DeTrune also
charged up his own time at $4 per day.
No blame is attached to the city
clerk, but | simply wished to shed a
little light on the differences which have
existed.
Concerning the piece of paving around
the new water trough, the engineer made
mistake in installing same, as he can
not obtain proper water connections
without building manhole under the
street mention this because / do not
wish to be blamed for any difficulty con-
neeted with the fountain after / leave
the city. The pavement around the
fountain is much too low, but was placed
there according to orders from City En-
gineer Reed.
In closing, / wish to add that Mr.
DeBrnne, for the city, owes MS bill for
labor and material furnished and ! would
like to have his immediate attention
in the matter.
