ACCEPTING THE INEVITABLE.

There has been great deal OF nh-
necessary subbornness on hoth sides
I'm the recent controversy between the
brothcrhoods and the railways. The
verdict of history will not bc entirely

made the success of their own
schemes paramount over the interests
of the public and the welfare of the
nation. That both sides have agreed
to accept the terms of the supreme
court decision is distinctly to their
credit even if Il was accomplished i
few hours in advance of the an
nouncement of that decision. There
is snoaking notion among the peo-
plo that the leaders OF both sides had
advance information as to what the
gist Of that decision would be and
were enabled to make a grandstand
play before the public 10y appearing
TO make voluntary settlement

INSURANCE RATES
RAISED TOMORROW

Effective tomorrow, September 1st,
the fire insurance rates on all frame
structures in Americas with shingle
roofs will be advanced 20 cents on ev-
cry $1o0 of insurance, while the rate
on contents of brick mercantile struc-
lures will be advanced 10 per cent.
This increase in rates is announced
bv the Southeastern Underwriters as
sociation, and is in accordance with
the decision of the beard" companies
throughout the United States to raise
the cost of fire insurance on certain
classes of risks.
The basic rate fer frame structures
with shingle roofs in Americus has
been IS cents, so that under the rate
increase, 95 cents will be the basis of
computation.
The increase is made necessary, the
insurance companies declare, because
of the heavy losses sustained through
great confiagratlons, such as the Al
lanta fire, during the past year, caus
irg the earnings of the companies to
fall short of the expenditures and pay
ment of losses. The risk on shingle
roof structures is considered too haz-
ardous to permit the previous rate to
remain, while a corresponding in
crease is made in the contents of brick
mercantiles.
The rate reduction promised by the
Southerntern Underwriters associa-
ton to the city of Americus in return
for the installation Of. fire alarm
system, new motor fire truck, increas-
ed paving, building ordinance, ETC.
will socn be fulfilled, which will
knock off 10 per cent of the final
char2es as they will stand when the
re rates go into effect tomorrow.

ACTION HALTED.
ALONG WESTERN.
BATTLE FRONTS.

NE7W YORK, August 31.-(Compiled
by the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-All three
campaigns on the western front tenn
partly halted today, the Italians show
ing the most activity in their drive
against Trieste, but even there a pause
characteristic of all the great drives
against fortified positions seemed to
be in evidence.
The British war Office reports the
repulse of a German air raid near
Lens, but no mention of British activi-
ties is made. The official statement,
however, intimates that virtually a
continuous artillery fire is in progress
along the Flanders front.
French artillery is actively engag-
ing the Germans on both sides of the
Meuse, indicating a speedy renewal
of attacks there.
British casualties as reported for
August, are notably less than those
sustained during July, although some
hard fighting occurred during the
month ending today.

4. & NJ. SCHOOL To
OPEN ON MONDAY

T The Third District Agricultural G.
Mechanical school will open it's regular
fall term on Monday morning, Septem-
ber 3rd, the outstanding indications
present being that the institution will
be taxed to its utmost capacity to ac-
commodate the students who desire to
matriculate.
Supt. John NJ Collum has complet-
ed arrangements for the opening of the
school and the buildings have been
thoroughly renovated in anticipation
of the arrival of the students. Applica-
tions continue to pour in on every
mail and it is expected that 125 boys
and girls will matriculate within a
week after the fall term opens.
The new practise school building
has been completed and will be used
this year, Miss Jennie Harrison having
been secured to supervise this de-
partment, which will accommodate in
termediate students and afford peda-
gogical training for the A. & NJ. stu
dents.
The new administration building
which is to cost $4,000 when com
pleted, will be ready for use about
January /, 1918, as construction work
is now going on after many vexatious
delays caused by lack of material.
A fund of $4,000 was appropriated
by the legislature just adjourned fol
the installation of heating plant il
the administration building and with
this additional equipment, the struc-
.ture will be one of the finest OF its
kind in the South.
Every department of the school has
been given careful attention and the
scholastic year about to open should
prove the most successful in the his
tory of the institution.
