WORKING FOR THE WIREGRASS
An Old Citizen Eulogizes Governor Troup
andCcmmends the Times—Sci
entific Structure
“l,’’said the Old Settler as he pinned
The Times man into his chair iD the
Oglethorpe, “am an original wiregrass
man. Ashamed 'of it? No, proud of
it. lam ashamed only of the manner
in which a section of the state has
been doing its share of voting, has
been giving up its share of governing
to the Atlanta ring. It’s a long time
since Brunswick even had a man in
congress. It is still longer since the
wiregrass country has grown a gov
ernor.”
Tiik Times man ventured to inti
mate a doubt as the capacity of the
soil of wiregrass Georgia to sprout
political giants.
The Old Settler smiled a smile of in
*finite weariness. “The story of old
Governor Troup, as told last Sunday
in The Times, tells another tale. No,
the soil’s all right; the people’s all
right; the party’s all right. It’s that
blamed Atlanta ring. They have
taught the people that the only busi
ness of a wiregrass democrat is to put
a ballot, made by a city lawyer, into a
box made by a country carpenter, and
take himself off to his plough again.
But—say, lemme tell you—’’and the
grizzled veteran smiled grimly—“old
George Troup, the man who defied
John Quincy Adams, was not built on
any such accommodating plan. I once
heard an old timer call him the ‘John
the Baptist of state’s rights,’ and a few
such men nowadays would give those
Atlanta fellows something to base a
few sad thoughts on.”
‘‘And I’m not alone in my opinion,
either,” resumed the Old Settler.
“Don’t think that. Listen to this
from the Macon Telegraph,” and in
his quavering old voice he read the
following chunk of editorial wisdom :
“ ‘The wiregrass people can accom
plish nothing until they get together.
As long as the Atlanta ring can split
them the ring is safe.’
“How’s that? And this, now, from
the Valdosta Times?”
The newspaper man tied. Life is
short, and the excerpt from the Val
dosta paper was a yard long.
“The new Downing warehouse de
serves mention,” said a gentleman yes
terday, “as one of the most soientitlc
ally constructed buildings in the coun
try. Somehow, I think that those
who planned it studied long and hard
over the problem of putting together
a model structure, and they are suc
ceeding admirably.”
The latest phrase is: “He got the
heart punch.” It is an outcome of the
recent prize fight, and the blow that
put Corbett to sleep; and it is to be
u sed as a substitute for the timeworn
“mnrble. heart,” “stony glare,” “icy
face,” etc.
MUST PAY TAXES.
The Eight and Water Company's Par
ti Hi Exemption Has Expiri and.
beginning with this year tlie Eight
and Water company must pay city
taxes on the full assessed valuation
of its property.
Under the contract made by the city
with the company, when it tirst estab
lished itself here, the city granted tax
exemption for ten years on all of the
company’s property that exceeded
150,000 in assessed valuation. The
ten years expired with last year, and,
from now on, the company must pay
taxes on all of its assessed valuation.

Notice.
In view' of the great number of let
ters 1 am receiving daily from all sec
tions of the state, inquiring if the
Georgia Mutual fire insurance com
panies doing business in this state
have any deposits of securities with
the state treasurer or any capital or
assets, I am convinced that there is a
general misapprehension on the part
of the people of Georgia as to just
what requirements are imposed by the
state upon this class of fire insurance
companies.
In order therefore that the public
may be officially informed on this
point, I desire to state that the class
of fire insurance companies engaged
in business in this state known as the
Georgia mutuals, all of which have
but recently been organized under
charters granted by the legislature to
do a fire insurance business on the
mutual plan are not required to have
capital assets, or a deposit with the
state treasurer for the protection of
their policy holders. It will thus be
seen that these companies must neces
sarily depend entirely upon premiums
or assessments collected from their
policy holders or members for funds
with which to pay losses.
These companies having complied
with the provisions of their charter
granted by the legislature, it is made
uiy duty to licence said companies to
do a mutual fire insurance business in
this state, winch I have done.

Insurance Commissioner.
