Again the country people have
been sold out and too after the
country towns had helped the
Hardest to fight the battle. The
insurance war is over. The rates
are to be raised in the country
from 10 to 20 per cent, while
they will be lowered in the cities
l0per cent. and on tobacco ware
houses Is per cent. This is the
wickedest sell-out ever perpe-
trated upon the common people
and it should be resented by
: them in forever withholding any
, support of the gentlemen (?) who
sanctioned 1t. The Times has ten
times the respect for the insur-
ance companies that it has for
the representatives of the State
who sold us out. The country
people fought the battle, the city
people lined up for the insur-
ance companies, and in the set
Element the cities get the lower
rates and the country people get
raised 2596. .-. 4a
simultaneously with the COM
promise, Judge Stout, of the
Franklin Circuit Court, decided
the new insurance law unconsti-
tutional so the provisions of the
sell-out could be enforced. What
a pity, what a shame on old Ken
lucky, or rather the Common
wealth of the L. q N. and other
corporations for they control the
old State completely. The peo-

Henry NJ. Springer has sold his bay

Of Friendship and the animal was
shipped Tuesday to Waldoboro, where
1t is understood that she will this
week participate in some ice races.
Mercer c. is we'll known on Maine
race tracks and in this way has earned
her late owner quite a comfortable
sum of money. She did not confine
her winnings to the track, however,
and is probably one of the few race
horses in Maine TO earn her keep ev-
cry day in the year. Mr. Springer
used the mare in his grain business
about every day except at such times
as she was away on the circuit, and
frequently took her from the delivery
team which she had hauled in the
morning to hitch her into a sulky for
race in the afternoon.
