Insurance Commissioner McMaster
said that he had issued licenses to the
John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
company Of Boston, and the Southern
Mortgage company Of Atlanta, as

pany is not licensed to write life in.
surance but solely to make mortgage
loans. 1t already has mortgage loans
throughout the United States exceed.
ing $55,000,000
The Southern Mortgage company Of
Atlanta has capital Of 100000 and
an experience Of many years in the
farm loan business in Georgia and
elsewhere. 1t has decided to under.
take the placing Of loans for farmers
in South Carolina. This means the
bringing OF considerable money into
the state as the Southern Mortgage
Co. has clients in the East who have
placed great deal Of money through
1t on Georgia farms. Among It's Gus.
toners for these loans is the John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance com.
pany Of Boston.
1t is understood that these com.
panies will continue their loans to
farm mortgages. The companies later
will announce the methods by which
they will make loans.
In this connection the insurance
commissioner has information that

SAYS WAGE CUTS MADE
INSURANCE MEN STRIKE
Record Tells Causes of Pruden-
tial Differences.

Eleven cuts in their wages within
the last few years." is one of the
causes which led the agents of the
Prudential Life Insurance Company to
90 on the present strike, George l..
Record, counsel for the strikers, an
nounced yesterday.
The agents endeavored to protect
themselves. Record says, by forming a
union. As soon as the company heard
of this movement the leaders of the
propaganda were discharged. Record
states, and all agents summoned be-
fore district superintendents and given
the choice of quitting the union or the
company. The strike followed.
"The real issue" says the statement
sis over the right of these men to or
ganize for mutual protection and for
the advancement of their own interest.
The Prudential company itself is an
example of efficient organization, but
il denied the right of its employees to
organize for their own protection"

Blast Inquiries Will
Get Nowhere, Says Wood

Much activity with slight results
marked New York's manifold investiga-
tions Yesterday into the Black Tom ex-
plosion. Five or six agencies lent a
hand toward fixing the responsibility
for the blast and providing legal meas
ures TO obviate the possibility OF an
other. After all this, Roger B. Wood,
Assistant United States Attorney, as
serted the methods would accomplish
nothing.
They are proposing all sorts OF I'm

Wood, after returning from meeting
of New Jersey officials in Jersey City,
land this will lead nowhere.

Brakeman Stewart knocked From
Train by Water Tank Spout.

w. NJ. Stewart, brakeman on the
Des Moines and Gainesville branch,
was seriously injured at Gainesville
last Thursday. Mr.. Stewart was rid
ing on top of a freight car and in
passing the water tank was struck
just back of the ear by the water
spout and knocked to the ground, his
head being badly bruised and he was
stunned by the fall to the ground.
He was brought to the Leon hospital
for treatment and is getting along
very nicely, and his recovery is ex-
pected within a short time as the
skull w"s not fractured as was at first
supposed. The injured man is 80
years old and resides at Ottumwa.
He had only been on this run a few
days. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Stewart, of Agency City, came to this
city as soon as they were notified Of
the accident and will remain here
until he is out of all danger

Auto Drivers are More Careful.

City marshal Marion Osborn tells
us that the autoists are doing fine
this year, and he desires to express
his appreciation to them for their OBJ
servance of the traffic rules and regu-
lations. Fully 95 per cent of the
cars driven on the streets of Leon
are handled in very careful man
ner, the drivers endeavoring to obey
the laws. The past week, however,
one driver was arrested for speeding
with the cut-out open, and an effort
will be made to enforce the law in
regard to running cars in the city
with the cut-out open. There is a
state law which makes it cgime to
operate any motor driven SHeHcle
with a cut-out open within th4 pr
porated limits of any city or NH. 1t
has never been enforced in Leon,
but is going to be in the future, SO
you had better see that your car is
muffled while driving in Leon. The
cut-out is an abominition, and there
is no earthly use for any driver to
use it open while driving in town.

No Opposition (?l.

The Des Moines papers and some
others have been persistently publish
ing that there was no opposition to
DR.. j. w. Reynolds for the position
of chairman of the democratic state
central committee, which reports are
doubtless emanating from the Reed
Reynolds gang which have been in
control of the state committee. That
there is opposition, and decided op-
position to Reynolds has been known
for months. At the county conven-
ton held in Leon last Saturday, an
anti-Reynolds delegation was select
ed and instructed to use, all honor
able means to prevent the election of
any party who had been guilty Of
appointing nonresident republicans
to office which rightfully belonged
to democrats under a democratic ad-
ministration. At Osceola the Clarke
county democrats instructed their
delegates to vote against Reynolds
for his perfidy to them. All over
the eighth district there is opposition
to Reynolds and democrats all over
the state realize that Reynolds is
simply the tool of Nick Reed, and
not the proper man to head the state
committee. He has been recogniz-
ed as wet" man, and his election
will greatly hamper the election Of
E. T. Meredith, the democratic can
didate for governor, who is an avow-
ed temperance advocate. Reynolds in
suited and proved a traitor to the
democrats of Decatur county in his
endorsement of nonresident repub-
lican for postmaster at Leon over the
protest of the county organization and
fully 80 per cent of the democrats of
the county. If he wants to see the
democratic party successful this fall
in Iowa, he should withdraw as a
candidate for committeeman, for
there is absolutely no chance for sue
cess SO long as he heads the state
committee.

An Auto Collision.

Commodore C. M. Axes and editor
Grant Mallory captain of the Davis
city News, had an auto collision at
the Axes farm just south of Leon
last Saturday evening. Mr.. Axes
was just turning in at his gate, which
put him on the wrong side of the
road, when Captain Mallory rounded
the corner, also on the wrong side of
the road, and they met just at the
gate. Commodore Axes big Buick
escaped with few scratches, but
Captain Mallorys Ford was consid-
erably bunged up by the impact. AS
the old Leon-Davis City feud was ami
cably settled some time ago, Commo-
dore Axes threw out a tow line to his
old adversary, and brought his ship
to Leon garage for repairs.

three weeks on the road, taking their
time, and camping out when it struck
their fancy They visited with rela-
tives and friends at various places
along the route, and will visit here
for several weeks, Rev. Hopton hav-
ing been granted three months
leave of absence from his duties as
pastor at Greybull. Some weeks ago
he suffered from ptomaine poisoning,
and was threatened with general
breakdown, and his physician order
ed him to take good rest. The trip
here did him lit of good, and he
is feeling much better than when he
left home.

announced he had withdrawn in ia
vor of the high man, Mr.. Russell, and
the other candidates, Mr.. Mallory,
Mr.. Dye and Mr.. Poush followed suit,
and on motion the secretary was in
structed to cast the entire vote of the
convention for B. M. Russell, and he
was declared the nominee.
At the conclusion of the conven-
ton a meeting of the precinct COM
mitteemen was held at which j. A.
Mcintosh, of Leon, was selected as
county chairman, and w. H. Shields,
of Leon, secretary and treasurer.
