Fire Insurance Situation
In South Looks Good

Atlanta, April %. Bankers and
fnanciers who have their finger
on the pulse Of southern business
take a roseate view this spring
of the southern fire insurance sit
uation While many fire insur-
ance agents over the country
have been disturbed by the recent
railure of the American Union
Fire insurance Company of Phil
adelphia, and the M0nogahala
Underwriters Of New York. con-
siderable comment favorable to
the southern companies has re-
suited from these two failures.
Southern people have just
cause for pride in the fact that
no stock fire insurance company
domiciled in the south has ever
failed or retired in such a way,
causing loss and disaster to policy
holders and agents.
One southern company was IA
tally injured by the San Francis
CO earthquake, undoubtedly an
act of providence; another was
wrecked after the control was
gotten away from southern peo-
pie who formerly owned it, while
the Shawnee Fire of Kansas, the
Ohio German of Ohio, and many
others in sections away from the
south have left a most unsavory
record.
The laws of the southern states
relating to fire insurance COM
panies and the insurance depart
ments are all awake to the pro-
lection of policy-holders and
agents. and it is an undisputed
fact that a smaller proper
ton of the companies in this Sec
ton than in others have failed.
The south is growing by leaps
and bounds and the fire insurance

companies Of this section will,
with the continued hearty pat
ronage of home people, compare
most favorably with those of
other sections. There is no an
tagonism between the south and
any other section, but the south,
it is pointed out, should be as
wise in building up it's own in
stitutions as the east is insupport-
ing it's institutions. They were
all of small proportion years ago
and the patronage of their own
people caused them to grow large,
just as is now going on in the
south.

TO The Pubic

On Thursday, May the 1st, mem
bers of the Fitzgerald Woman's
Club will canvass the town and
take orders for the Woman's edi-
ton of the Atlanta Constitution to
be published by the Women ofthc
Federated Clubs of Georgia June
4th. This wonderful paper is ten
ce its per copy, and addition to the
many g 'od things it will contain
there will be a most excellent
write up of Fitzgerald, authorized
by the City Council and prepared
by Mr.. George Brown, City Clerk.
Also, advertisements by our mer-
chants, and three or more columns
telling OF our activities, social and
otherwise, prepared by Mrs. Al
monte Jones and her able commit
tee, and arranged by Mrs. John
VI. Siaton, State News Editor OF
this edition.
You will not only want one copy
but some to send your friends in
other states, and if you are mer-
chant, copies for your customers
in the rural districts who might
not otherwise receive copy.
Please do not ask US to stop and
explain what our commission from
these receipts is for, after the
numerous explanations we have
tried to keep before the public
1t would not benefit any one club
or any individual, and belongs as
much to us as to any other part of
the state. 1t will help the students
aid fund and many other good
t ,ings contained in the work of
the State Federation of Clubs
which includes membership of
n arly 10000 women.
Therefore, let US do our part in
making this paper triumph for
our women and our state. You
will get your moneys worth and
more by giving US this ten cents
per copy SO that we can forward
the money and your name and
others SO that tbe paper can be
mailed direct from the Constitution
office June 4th.

General Chairman.

A hundred years ago the hands Of
ancient privilege were at the throat
Of the republic. Our ships were
seized and searched. American citi-
zens were impressed into an alien
service. Our capital was burned. De-
spair was clutching at our hearts.
The British gun were not our great
est peril, but the love of none in
the seaboard states. Six thousand Of
u men were enslaved in British
ships. but the patriotic indignation
that stirred the rural communities did
not touch the heart of the states that
made their money on the sea. The
sense OF brotherhood was smothered
In the love of money.
Now, as then, the love OF money
Aouts the love of men. The yellow

1T was In Paris that the municipal

posters were prepared by physicians
connected with the municipal govern.
ment and were placed in conspicuous
positions throughout the city, even
upon the outer walls of the Hotel de
Vile Getty Hall). These posters warn
specifically against wine. beer and CT
der as leading to alcoholism as surely
as brandy. So violent was the oposi-
ton of the liquor trade to the posters
that they were withdrawn, but other
countries took up that method of
propaganda against alcohol, notably
Germany, England and Denmark.
That there Is an acute alcoholic
problem in Europe may be readily
seen from the holding every two
years of a congress on alcoholism,
whose delegates, appointed by the
governments of different countries,
meet to discuss methods Of reducing
the drink evils which are injuring the
health and efficiency of the people.
