General. Villa says that Benton
made cowardly attack on him.. The
Savannah News says the attack was
anything but cowardly and gives the
following reasons: Just what is a
coward in Mexico?" Would a coward
go into the midst of an army, seek
out the commander-in-chief and try
to kill him when he knew he would
not have one chance In ten thousand
of making his escape afterwards"

Bogus Insurance Companies.

Life. FIRE, accident, sick benc-
fit and numerous other kinds Of
insurance concerns the public as
much or more than anything else
at this time. Almost every man
carries some sort of insurance
either upon his life or property,
or both. It is very necessary
therefore that such insurance
should be in q safe company. IL
il well known that there has
sprung up all over this country
bogus insurance companies of all
kinds. They get your money
but when it comes their time to
pay they don't come across.
These wild cat concerns insure
anything; men and women with
Tuberculosis, old age, Br:ght's
disease and ali sorts of maladies;
all they seem 20 want is men,
bers. This reckless way OF doing
business has cast q cloud upon
all such concerns. The .'Old
Line" companies have become so
olcee that every one knows they
are safe and, the only objection
TO insurihg altogether in such
concerns is their charges; tsaey
charge too much. Gut every
one feels safe. In the benevolen,
orders the safety depends largely
upon the management. And
there are 80 many frauds ia this
land, this sort Of insurance Is not
only becoming to be looked upon
with suspicion but the state
authorities every where have
been forced to have rigid laws
enacted for the protection If tie
public.
