Feb. 24, 1913. seek to uedite insurance hates (Continued from Pago Ono.) rcure the lower rate. The resolutions to he presented to e council, In ease a majority of the iranee agents sign them, are as To the Mayor and City Council of Laurens, S. C.j Gentlemen: We the undersigned fire insurance; igenta of the City of Laurens, desire j to bring to your attention the subject Of preventable fire waste. Speaking In a general way, all fire Insurance, whether by mutual or stock compan ies, Is based upon the principal of col lectlng enough premiums from those who do not burn to pay for those who do, consequently every preventable loss that occurs Is a tax upon every other Insurer In a given locality. The avoidable fire loss In America exceeds that of any other country. There Is a Widespread movement at present to reduce such loss by all available mentis. The experience of the Insur ance department of our State, in com mon with that of surrounding States, leads them to the conclusion that a large part of this loss results from over Insurance?not necessarily in tentional dishonesty or criminality on the part of the Insurer but from tho fact that two much insurance leads to carelessness. Indifference and want of care on the part of the insured. 1'p to the present time the Insurance writ ten on a given piece of property has been entirely a matter with tho Indi vidual agent who acts more or less in Ignorance of what other agents have done or may do. For the purpose of getting the business on a better basis, with more system, and In justico to all concerned we would suggest and ! petition your honorable body, for the ! general welfare and public good, to ' appoint a committee of three disin terested appraisers to fix the insurnhlo lvalue of all property within the in i corporate limits. We would SUggOSt a commission of three members one of whom would be a competent con tractor and builder-- another a dealer In building supplies or material, and the third to be the Chief of the Fire j Department of the city or some other j good business man who Is familiar j with the values. We believe that the jsum of $200 will pay for having this ; work done and we would respectfully I request that this amount be approprl ated by you for the purpose. The town receives from our companies, by j way of licenses taxes, etc. approxi mately ?I000. per year?$700 directly I from licenses and taxes and tho City's proportionate part of ?1 100 com Infi to tho county. Wo hellovo thai your favorable consideration of this pro-1 posal would show to the Insurance world and the companies that we, the agents, and you, the representatives of the business Interests of our town are desirous of co-operating with all other agencies at work for the prevention of the needless fire wastes of our city and country. 88888888888888888888 8 8 EDEN NOTES. 8 8 8888888888888888888 8 Kden, Fob. 21.?Misses Mary Hell and Sara Babb were tho week-end guests of their aunt, Mrs. L.

DEPOSED ME XIC A N PRESIDENT KILLED IN TRANSIT (Continued from Pago One.) liana that tho bodies should bo do I IVO red lo their families for burial. Occurred After Midnight. The tragedy occurred shortly after midnight. Madcro and Snare?., who had been prisoners in the National palace since their arrest on Tuesday last, were placed in an automobile, which was accompanied by another car and escorted by 100 rurals un der the orders of Commandant Fran cisco Cardenas and Col. Rafael Pi rn I nonto. With Instruction not to outdis tance the escort, the cars moved slow ly. No Incident occurred until they had reached a point near the peni tentiary where in an open place the guards' attention' was attracted, ac cording to the official version, to a group of persons following. Shots were fired at the escort out of the darkness. The rurals closed In and ordered the prisoners out of the car. Attacked the Guards. Thirty of the guards surrounded j the prisoners, while tho remainder disposed themselves to resist at at [ tack. About fifty men, some afoot and some mounted, it Is alleged, threw themselves upon tho detach ment guarding the cars and the ex change of shots lasted twenty min utes, when the attacking party fled. The dead bodies of Madero and Suarez were then found. The body of Madero shows only one wound. A bullet entered the hack of the head and emerged at the fore head. Tho body of Pino Suarez shows many wouncis. entering from In front. Of the male members of th*. Ma dero family only two now are In the capital. One Is Francisco Madero, the father, who bitterly opposed his son's conducting a revolution in 1910, and rode across northern Mexico In an effort to overtake and dissuade hint; the other Is P.rncsto Madero j the former minister of finance, an uncle, though only one year older than the late president. Gustavo Madero, a brother, was Obliged to submit to the fugitive law the day after the deposition of the president and was shot down in the arsenal.

From the top of each pitiful monument tonight flick ered candles, placed there and lighted by those who thus thought to offer tin last rites of the church to the souls of tho dead. From the ground had beer, scraped away blood saturated earth, which was carried off by the morbid, seeking souvenirs. After tho engagement on the road to the 'penitentiary.

The president sum moned his cabinet and after appris ing bis ministers of the occur ranee, Issued an official announcement. Both president nnd members say they deoply deplore the affair and de .
