HAVE WON HIGH STANDING
SOUTHERN FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANIES RECOGNIZED.
Will Be Considered on the Same Ba-
sis as the Big Companies of the
East as to Loans.


ATLANTA, Ga.-Chas. A. Bicker-
staff, secretary and treasurer of the
Association of Southern Fire Insur-
ance Companies, has received the alb
solute assurance that the Southern
companies will not be Disseminated
against by the big Eastern companies
which loan large sums of money for
building and other purposes.
Life insurance companies and
some financial organizations which
make large building loans custom
arily have the right to specify
where the fire insurance on the build
ing shall be placed.
After writing to some three score
of the big life insurance compaL%es
Mr.. Bickerstaff has received the as
surance that Southern fire insurance
companies are to be considered on
exactly the same basis as the eastern
ones. The only qualifications requir-
ed of company is that it shall be a
joint stock company, solvent and in
prosperous condition. Writing to
Mr.. Bickerstaff the heads of the big
life insurance companies said: 1--WE
wish you to place us en- record In
the most unqualified manner as being
willing to accept the policies of your
companies composing the associa-
ton"
This means, of course, that South
, ern fire insurance companies have
won exactly the same high standing
in the financial world as the old East
err companies. It means that when
million dollar sky scraper is put up
in Atlanta, or any other Southern
city, the fire insurance can be carried
with a Southern company, no NATTER
how much of the money to build the
structure has been borrowed from
the North.
The Association of Southern Fire
| Insurance Companies was organized
in 1910 by several of the leading
companies of this section, its object
being to promote and encourage wise
building and tax laws and the re-
duction of fire waste and other mat
! tiers of vital interest 1t was infuen-
tial in securing the enactment of the
new Georgia insurance law, which is
conceded to be the best that has been
mt on the statute hooks of any state
| in many years.

WANTS EXPERIMENT STATION
One Is Needed in Southern Part of
of Georgia, and Triton Starts
Movement For 1t.

TIFTON.-The renewal of the dis
cussion of the removal of the Geor-
gia Experiment Station to Athens,
where it can be operated in connec-
ton with the State College Of Agri-
culture, gives emphasis to the de-
mand for a branch experiment sta
ton in South Georgia.
1t is said by those in position to
know that the station will be moved
to Athens before many years, and it
is claimed that there will be several
advantages to be gained by having it
nearer to the college of agriculture,
these advantages being from stand
point of economy as well as eff
cheney.
At its present location the expert
ment station is of little practical val
ue to South Georgia. There is a
great difference in the cotton which
grows in Spalding county and even
the short staple which grows in this
section, as there is a difference in
soil, climate and general conditions.
Methods of fertilization and cultiva-
ton of many other crops in the sec
ton where the experiment station is
located would not be successful in
South Georgia. So very few of the
experiments conducted there are OF
value to this section.

Rip Van Peepul Waking Up.

The people are patient critters,
and for long centuries they have
borne their burdens in silence. but
to-day they are awaking from the
sleep of ages and asking for their
own. Socialism is the wall of the
oppressed, and it is becoming an
universal wall. Whether the mas
tiers like to hear it or not, they
must face the music, and all the
devils in hell can't head it off. I
say this, not as a Socialist, but IS
an independent and unprejudiced
looker-on Something like the
spirit OF the French Revolution is
abroad in the earth, only this time
the weapon is the ballot instead of
the bullet. The old slave-and-
master system has had a long and
bloody reign, but it's throne is be-
ginning to totter. The horny hand
of toll is reaching for the money
bag. The producer and rightful
owner of all wealth is asking the
robber to give him back enough to
live on. Is that an unreasonable
request? | think not.

A female woman up in Yankee

piece for the paper in which she
skins the Woman Suffrage move

some.
And of all the outlandish and
unreasonable arguments that ever
were Matched up, this anti-suffrage
woman certainly does cap the
stack. She actually has the gall to
declare that the existing wage
scale for female labor is too high,
and openly advocates a reduction
of the same.
Great balls of fire! Women
workers being paid too much!
Yes, she says such princely in
comes have a tendency to prevent
marriage by making the working
girls feel too independent. We

"'Look-y here, Missy, you r
making too much money and get
ting too independent. We now
propose to cut down your wages
just half, and thus force you to
marry some good-for-nothing
trollop and go to adding more
mouths to those you are already
not able to feed"
My stars alive! Wouldn't that
be business? Wouldn't that lift
the burdens and make life one
grand sweet song?
just as if the working girls are
not keen enough to marry when
ever they can get decent chance
The trouble is, their scant wages,

I'M TO YOU.

Well, boys, I've tongue dashed

good to you fellows who have
been helping me along. I can spin
the yarns and manufacture the
sassy talk, but I can't get it cir
culated without your help. I must
depend on my friends to show the
paper to their friends and get up
clubs.
A great many editors offer
premiums to club-raisers, but I
have put the price of The Fool
Killer so low that I can't give
premiums. The premium business
is a rather Cheap John" sort of
game, anyway, and I prefer to
put the paper down as low as
possible and let it stand on it's
own merits. I have been going it
that way for several years and
it has been a success, and I see
no reason for making a change.
My regular club rate gives
everybody a reduction of ten
cents (giving them the paper at
fifteen cents each) if as many as
five will club together.
Now, friends, just for the fur
of the thing, show this copy to {
dozen or so of your friends anc
ask them to subscribe. Get in {

thing funny and read them a few
pieces from The Fool Killer, an(

the professor. These results will

Prof. Starr goes on to prove by
the downrightness of straight up
that the human race is gradually
tending toward a toothless and
hairless condition, and that our
toes will drop off one by one like
faulty cucumbers after a big frost.
