The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-05-08

The citizens of Hattiesburg have
been so obsessed during the past few
days with giving aid and attention to
the people injured in the wreck OF the
Veterans special Monday morning that
they have perhaps overlooked for the
time being the need of the flood suff-
erers in the Mississippi valley The
condition of those people is constant
ly growing worse in many sections
and in many places hundreds are verg-
ing on want.
The local lodge of Elks has very I'D
erally made a contribution OF hfty
dollars to the fund for the relief of the
flood victims, and this, together with
the funds received by the News VIII
be forwarded to Governor Brewer to
dav to be used where most needed.
A number of people have notlnet
the Kings Daughters that they vii
give articles of clothing to be sent tn'
sufferers, and the ladies in charge o

Inspection andRating Bureau
Suggests Radical Aduance

ing bureau claims that the fire COM
panies have suffered enormous losses,
far above the average ratio, during
the first four omnths OF the current
year; that losses paid already exceed
premiums collected by more than one
million dollars.
Hostile legislation enacted by the
legislature at it's last session is also
assigned as a reason. The valued pol
icy law is the most Objectionable cited,
insurance men contending that under
its provisions a party may insure
residence not exceeding $500 in value
for 81 200, and compel the insurance
companies to settle for the full
amount.
The insurance bureau says that the
companies have suffered especially
heavy losses in the city of Meridian
since Jan. 1st, and that several com
panies will no longer write dwellings
in that community.
In event an attempt is made to mak'
the new rate applicable it is general!
believed that litigation will follow
and that some antitrust suits vii
emanate from the Attorney-General'
office.

Hardware Dealers Addressed
Bu Ex-senator H. d. Money

address of the morning, which was de-
livered by Ex-senator H. D. Money, |
who spoke in the interest of National
Reserve Association, that has for it's
object the conserving of the nations
wealth in times of stress in the pro
lection of the individual banks by
means of the new idea. A monetary
commission was appointed in 1908 to
consider the financial system OF
the government and Mr.. Money
was member of the COM
mittee. The committee worked three
and one-half years studying thoroughly
the financial systems of leading ma
tions of the world. AS a result of this
study the committee submitted this
National Reserve Association idea to
Congress. The bill for the creation of
such committee is pending before that
body at the present time. Mr.. Money
showed the immediate need of the Gre
alton of such a system in this country
and the resulting benefit of a thor
oughly solid financial system. He did
not think that the bill would pass al
this session, but urged the Hardware
association to use their influence in
arousing public opinion in the matter
This afternoon at 2:30 another
closed business session was held.
Tomorrow is the big day, and will
be given over entirely to the entertain
ment of the many visitors who ar
here. In the afternoon there will be
ball game at Hamper Park betweel
the Dealers and The Drummers, fol
lowed by an old-time barbecue o
Dutch Lunch at the Park. Speech
making will be the order of the day a
i the latter occasion and many locs
hardware men are grooming then
selves for the effusons that shall fio'
at this time.
