WITNESSES FEAR
HILLS ASSASS|NS
Mourtalneers Testifying in the
Hughes Staying Probe Are
Afraid to Return Home.

Carter Tate. United States district
attorney, has fifteen witnesses on his
hands and does not know what to do
with them. He is afraid to let them
go home, for fear criminals in Fannin
county will do them harm. and he
doesn't want to keep them in Atlanta.
because it will be some time before he
can use them.
When the Federal grand jury took up
the murder of Moultry Hughes and his
oaoy large number of witnesses were
summoned to testify against several
suspects. Among the suspects were the
three Painter brothers, who are now in
the Tower.
The grand jury has found that the
FAINTER boys were not the principals in
the murder. and that the actual slayers
still are at large in Fannin county.
The murderers it is said have sworn
revenge upon any person who testifies
against them. Nine men. four women
and two boys are among those who
nave helped to fill out a chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against the assas-
sins.
IL these women. children and men are
allowed to return to their homes, it is
probable that the criminals there will
keep their word, for Moultry Hughes
was killed because the moonshiners
thought he had helped the revenue Of

INSURANCE MEN
TALK AGENCIES
National Convention in Long
Discussion Over Fire Risk
Business Methods.

The subject Sole Agencies ana I'm
deruriters' Agencies" provoked a vast
.mount of discussion this morning at
the second session of the National AS
socition of Local Fire Insurance Agents,
meeting al the Auditorium Armory.
charles B. Alexander, of Clarksburg,
" Va, led the discussion. and Walker
TAYLOR, of Wilmington, n c., followed.
There was a great deal of informal dis
cussjon. The association has gone on
record as opposing strongly the mainte-
nine Of underwriters or sub agencies in
any community. tending to divide the
fire insurance business between the
smaller concern and the main agency,
and the discussion hinged largely
around this point.
Mr. Alexander went into the history
of the underwriters agency. and point
al out how it had come to be a power
IN the writing of fire insurance. He
said that sole agencies were the only
solution, and that the national associa-
ton should renew its efforts to sup
press all but the main agencies
Mr. Taylor went into a lengthy dis
cussion of the system and declared that
# was wrong and could only bring harm
TO the insurance business. The MEM
hers present listened attentively to both
addresses. and there were many ex-
pressions of approval.
Fire Loss Still on Increase.
The question of whether the states

D. Markham, of St. Louis, depends on
whether or not fire insurance is pub
lie or a private business. Reasonable
measures Of state supervision are all
RIGHT. where properly conducted. Either
way, insurers will welcome any meas
ure looking to the reduction of the fire
hazard. because this will cause a saving
of money to the insurance concerns and
the public alike"
In this connection, Mr. Markham
made the statement that in spite of
sprinkiers and other apparatus for fight
ing fires. the fire loss had increased in
New York state rather than diminished
He asserted that as general PROPOSE
ton, the interference of the state in
Insurance rates did nothing to help the
public, and he contended that in his

called anti compact" law had worked
a hardship on the people and had en-
abed the insurance companies to make
more money than they had ever made
before.

years after 1873 and the board gave
good satisfaction" he continued. when
the new law was proposed the legisla-
ture was petitioned, but the latter went
ahead and made a law providing for
state supervision. The legislature ex-
pected a wild scramble, and that the
people would get insurance for moth

Insurance companies more prosperous

Suggestions for the Hotbed.

This is the time to make up your
hotbeds. Use fresh manure from
horses we'll fed on grains, for manure
rich in heterogeneous wastes will heat
best. Sheep manure does very well,
but it does not give as good satisfac-
ton as does horse manure.
Clear manure should not be used,
but should be mixed with an equal
part of straw, chat, or leaves. 1t us
ually contains enough straw as it is re-
moved from the stable. Stir up the
pile every day for three or four days
previous to putting it into the frames,
at the same time breaking up the
Jumps. AS soon as it gets to heating
place it in the frame. If it fails to
heat up readily pour few pals of
hot water into the center of the pile.
Take great care in putting the ma
nure into the frames for this is i'm
portant. Break up the Jumps, spread
it evenly and make the center trihe
higher than the rest, for later it will
settle more in the center than on the
sides. AS the manure is put in, firm
it we'll by treading with the feet. Beds
made during the middle of March
should have at least two feet of we'll
packed manure. AS soon as the ma
nure is in place put on the sashes and
allow the manure to warm up. If it
does not start heating soon use hot
water as before mentioned. After it
has started to heat we'll cover it with
about six or eight inches of fine rich
SOIL If you did not prepare your soil
in the fall for this purpose you can
likely get good mellow unfrozen soil
from under straw stack. After the
soil has warmed through remove the
sashes, prepare the seed bed with a
fine toothed rake and sow your seed.
During the period of use of hot
bed observe the following dont's: l.
Don't fail to water when the seedlings
or plants need it. 2. Don't fail to
provide mats of straw or burlap to
put on during cold nights. 3. Don't
fail to keep thermometer in the soil,
for each agricultural plant has an opti-
mum temperature for its growth and
therefore should be kept within that
a. Don't fail to provide ven
tilation on clear, warm days, or you
may burn your plants.
