INSURANCE RATE RISES.

Meridian, Miss, Nov. 9;-Fire in.
surance companies in Meridian have
raised the insurance rate on an aver
age. of about 20 per cent on three
year policies. The increase has not
been in actual figures, but policies
which we're issued for three wears are
now only issued for two years and a
half for the same premium.
The raise in insurance, 1t is said,
was caused by the numerous small
conflagrations in the city, occurring
from sparks on shingle roofs and the
failure Of the city to provide horses
to draw the aerial truck at the central
fire station.

more important than the repeal of

Having a law upon the books which
cannot be enforced produces that great
evil--a disrespect for all laws. When
the people realize that "a law cannot
