services.

Albany, Ga, April 12.-As a result
of application made by the Albauy
Chamber of Commerce, the Southeas :
ern Underwriters association will,
at an early date, have one of its ess-
gineers visit this city and make req
concentrations necessary to place tt
on strictly first class basis from an
insurance standpoint.
Albany is now on second raTs
basis, with certain penalties. Re-
Gently an increase in rates was made
on dwellings occupied by tenants and
household furniture. The Chamb,r
of Commerce received numerous com
plants because of this increase ana
Secretary Eugene B. Adams took ths
matter up with the underwriters as
sociation. In reply it was asserted
that the insurance companies haa
been carrying this class of business
far below profit paying basis. The
promise to send an engineer here for
an investigation of the fire hazard OF
the city and to outline a plan which
may be worked upon to the end q.
securing a lower rate of insurance
was another result of the correspond
ence.

ten solely for the benefit of our home
merchants. The principle involved
in the matter of buying goods al
home VS.. buying goods abroad is a
larger one than that between the
merchant and the consumer for it in
wolves the welfare and interest OF
the whole community. We maintain,
end we believe with justice, thai the
success of the home merchant ought
to be a matter Of more than ordinary
consideration to every citizen, for
upon the success or failure of our
local business interests largely de-

town. No one ought to dispute the
right of every buyer, whether con-
sumner or dealer. to purchase in the
cheapest market, all things duly con-
sidcred, but there are some things
to be considered in the transaction.
We have looked into the three
cases mentioned in Mr.. Sidman's re-
ply to the article above referred to-
and, after exhaustive inquiry, find
that there are number of vulcan
lzers on the market, selling for diff
ferent prices, handled, however, not

member OF committee OF tnrees as
we'll as Mr.. Sidman, a present Of the
finest suit Of clothing to be found
here, in return for proof Of the state
ment he makes.
We beg to call Mr.. Sidman's at
tention to one side of the question
he has overlooked, which ID. that no
credence can be given to statement
unless accompanied by the names Of
those who are accused Of his alleged
methods Of high financing. On the
other hand, from considerable COR
respondence and personal observa-
ton, We do find that in prices,
quality considered, Lakeland offers
her people as good a market az can
be found anywhere in the State. Our
freight rates are high, too high, un-
necessarily high, and we must take
some action in this matter, but the
merchant is not at fault here. This
is part OF the cost of the goods which
both must pay, the merchant and the
consumer.
But, SO as not to lengthen this
article, we mention just one more
important item, in fact it is the
point of the whole question involved.
The merchants have the same right
to expect fair dealing on the part
OF the consumer as he has to expect
the same from them. Competition
and the natural desire and purpose
to sell his wares will almost compel
the dealer to sell at the lowest pos
sible price-he cannot afford to d.
otherwise, while the consumer
neither feels nor realizes the same
compelling necessity in buying. He
can buy where he pleases and have
the goods shipped to him covered BY
a semi-secret label and no one the
wiser. As our merchants are en-.
deavoring to compel us to buy at
home, let the consumer make the
same compelling demand that he be
allowed to buy at home. Cempeti-
ton will secure this demand. If every
man who buys clothing will make
this demand Of the dealers here,
every Lakeland clothing store will
do much larger business. In the
same way will the hardware stores,
lumber yards. furniture stores, dry
goods, and even groceries, do a mucn
larger business and, in all probab-
illty, on closer margin of profit
than at present by reason of the
greater volume at the same expense.
1t is all right to be broad-minded,
but the home rule policy we are al
\ocating is the best because it is
right. We admit there are goods
sold and manufactured elsewhere as
good as those sold and manufactured
in Lakeland, just as there may be
land and living conditions just as
good elsewhere, but, as we believe |
that for us there is no better place
to live in than Lakeland, so we ought
to believe and act in the same way
with regard to our commerce. Until
we do we are discounting the place
we live in and the conditions which
alone make it worth while to live
here.
In one last word, if some condi-
Ions complained of are not right, let
las go do the work and adjust them
right here at home instad of letting
tut OF town merchants and mail Or
Ter houses profit by our differences.

Ty Cobb as the leading bats

Now, the question naturally arises
as the result Of Jackson's jump over

Cobb has not had as long baseball
career as Lajoie by many years; but

that the nimble. ambitious and as

tain his prestige as the greatest play

to secure contracts that call for the

player, has been very strenuous in
his playing He has stolen more bases
than any other player, made more

and played an altogether more vigor-
Gus game than any Of his fellow

During the Yankee Detroit series,
while Cobb did some good work he
did not impress me as being quite
up to his old dynamite self that once
carried everything before him. He
surely picked out some very poor

Of getting the pitcher in the hole, as

EARLY CANES
MAKE HIT WITH
BUSINESS MEN
By Percy H. Whiting.

THE Crackers are of this after
noon on another early Saturday
game. Local fans are inclined
to kick a bit when they are asked to
show UP at the park for a game at
2:45. But the general proposition of
early games is a desirable one.
A man stopped me on the street
yesterday and said, why don't you
get after EN- to start their baseball
games early?
I'm about the average baseball fan,
! think" he said. Il want to see a
ball game and / want to get through
in time to get back to my Office a
minute before l go home for supper
ITS Ill foolishness to think that
any material number of men get off
from work at 4 o'clock through the
summer. A much larger part of
those who get on can get away much
earlier. l believe the majority OF
men, and especially business men,
would rather have the game start at 8
o'clock, But $3.50 would not be bad.
THE attitude of the local baseball
i association is that the time of
starting is entirely immaterial to
them, so long as it pleases the ma
jority of fans. If they find the fans
want 30 start they will give it to
them. For the last few weeks the
local association has made an effort
to "straddle" by splitting the differ
ence and starting at 3:45.
What the whole league needs wax
ing up to is not so much the need of
an earlier start as it is of faster games.
Give the patrons nothing but action
oil h
that lasts over l hour and 30 min
utes has Jagged Promoters of the
diamond sport are going to wake up in
time to the desirability, from a box
office standpoint, of snappy games.
But, gee, how slowly it is coming!
A Nd speaking of baseball. Atlanta
1 lost another game yesterday. Five
errors tells the story. The Crackers
made enough hits to win, as they gen.
orally do, but somehow they were not
timely, and the Barons manaFed to
get away with the verdict, 3 to l.
THE next couple of weeks may cas-
lily be gloomy ones for local fans
The team is in bit of a slump and is
not rallying. 1t starts tonight on a
long, hard trip into the Far South-a
trip that extends through four cities
and into next month The Crackers
will have to travel top speed to make
a good showing on this jaunt. 1t will
not be surprising if they are pretty
well down in the percentage table
when they return. But once home
again they should go some.
The Crackers are still the mystery
of the league They look the best
team. But they don't play like it.
