FIFTY CENTS YIELDS s2,5oo
Policeman Had Been Carrying It In
His Pocket Without Know
Ing Coins Value.

Atlanta.-For the last seven years
City Policeman G. Allen Maddox has
carried about fortune in his trousers
pocket, without knowing it. He has
clinked it against other silver coins,
without dreaming Of it's value. But
now he finds that it is worth more
than a thick roll Of greenbacks or
many pieces Of gold. Yet, it is mere
" a silver half-dollar piece. But 1t
was minted in 1853, and is valued for
it's rarity.
Only two other Of these pieces 1t Is
said. are known to be in existence.
The owner of one Of these recently
refused $500 for his coin.
Oficer Maddox has another half-dol-
lar piece made in 1884 and third In
1850. But neither possesses the value
Of the 1853 half-dollar.
One Of the three half-dollars minted
in 1853 is owned by Charles L. Cross
Of Los Angeles.

The hundred and sixty-eighth ami
versary Of the birth Of Thomas JET

quet in Indianapolis April Is. In this
connection Jefferson's ten rules Of
life. which follow, win be Of interest:
/. Never put on till tomorrow what
you can do today.
q. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
3. Never spend money before you
have 1t.
I. Never buy what you do not want
because it il cheap: it will be dear
to you.
8. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
8. We never repent Of having eaten
too little.
Z. Nothing is troublesome that We
do willingly.
8. How much pain have cost us the
evils which have never happened.
8. Take things away by their
smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten becore

Here are some Of the great prin-
ciples of government advocated by
Mr.. Jefferson in his first inaugural adj

and her companions could do nothing
to save her.
There seems to be no reason why
the crocodile should suddenly show a
man eating propensity in this way.
The Dyaks account for it by curious
superstitions. They say that II food
is offered to a person and he refuses
it and goes away without at least
touching it some misfortune is sure
to befall him and he will most prob
ably be attacked by crocodile.
Also it is said that one Of the ways
the gods punish crime is by sending
a crocodile to attack the culprit; and
it is often said by Dyaks Of some one
who has been killed by a crocodile
that probably he has displeased the
gods either by paying no heed to the
warnings sent him in dreams or by
means of omen birds or by commit.

The Dyaks of Borneo will not kill q
crocodile except in revenge. If the
animal will live at peace with him
the Dyak has no wish to start quar-
rel; If, however, the crocodile breaks
the truce and kills some one. then he
feels justified in retaliating. Under
these circumstances the Dyaks set to
work to find the culprit and go on
catching and killing crocodiles until
they succeed getting the guilty one.

WHY NOT LOWER INSURANCE
RATES9

Another clinching argument has
been added to the number that already
existed in favor of lower insurance
rates for the people of Americas since
he report of the local fire depart
ment have been made public.
Fire losses that amount practically
to nothing as shown by the report have
reen true of the local field during the
year 1911, and this is but repetition
of the record that has been made for
many years. Americas is city where
fire losses are a neglible quantity.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
statistics, stubborn and irrefutable,
8, are us in the face at the end of each
year. the fire insurance rates remain
the same. We continue to pay for
fires which do not happen, while the
larger cities that suffer heavily from
fires get a lower rate on their insur
ance than is given to Americas 1t is
is evidently true that we are paying
for fire losses not ours, but for those
of other cities-while the insurance
policies in the larger cities, who are
of course, thoroughly wiling for us to
ray their insurance for them.
There is something fundamentally
wrong in the fire insurance rates that
are being paid by the city of Americas
now. The mayor and city officials rec
ognize that. We have a modern fire
department and paved STREETS in the
business section. Though we have no
fire alarm system other than the tele
phone, it has been shown that there is
no more effective fire alarm system
for a city of this size that the tele-
phone system. But the matter has
been given to the fire insurance in
surance committee of Council. 1t is for
them to probe the matter thoroughly
and fearlessly. We can at least have
some light on this much mooted ques-
ton. And light ought to bring some
remedy for it. The sooner this is had
the better for the growth and develop
ment of the city.
