The Raleigh Standard, speaking of the action
of the North Carolina Convention, says:
at is expected that the Convention viii be
able to complete its work about the ed of next
month, and that the Constitution will be sub
mitted to the people about the latter part of
March. 1t is expected also that the people viii
vote at the same time for Governor and other
State officers, seven members of Congress, and
members of the State Legislature. The Legis-
lature, if chosen on the 25th of March could as
senble by the 18th day of April, could at once
ratify the Howard amendment, and elect Sem
ators; and then, at furthest by the 1st of May,
the members of Congress could be admitted to
their seats and the new State government inau-
gurated"

Bgy~ What a shame and disgrace it is, that the
ChiefJustice ofthe Supreme Court of the United
States should be oice-seeker, while holding his
present position. Judge Chase is a greater man
than Gen. Grant in every way, but he is dsgracing
himself, his high office, and the country, by his
rartizan and thirst for political prefermcnt.
lie is trying get the nomination for President over
Gen Grant.
If the Judiciary of this country is to be respected
and honored by the people, those who occupy the
position of Judge must act to deserve respect
md honor. We hope to the day when even
the Republican papers of the North will condemn
Chascs conduct

CoS>IsTENcY.-Last Spring the New York Herald
urged Congress to pass the Reconstruction measures
forcing on the South negro suffrage and the disfran-
chisement of white men; and now, every day, the
Herald abuses Congress for passing those Acts 1.-The
longest poll knocks down the pafsimmon'-and the
most money will buy the \. Y Herald. Such papers
disgrace to civilization while honesty and truth
veil their faces i'll name and disgust.
The beauty" Of the matter is, that many Southern
people praise the scoundrels who conduct such papers
as the Herald and abuse southern newspaper Editors
who are striving to settle difficulties and restore pros
perity to the South and who expect to live and die

CHAEITABLE-We notice in several of our State
exchanges gratutous advertisements and editorial
notices, advising the people to subscribe for certain
Northern newspapers and Magazines. This is de-
cdcdy charitable But the result, generally, is the
failure and suspension of the papers that publish
such advice. They have right to complain if peo-
pie take their advice and withdraw support from
their home publications.. Charity is good thing
sometimes for somebody.

EXCELSIOR.
The Etna Life Insurance Company,
(Col. T. A. OSBORNE, Agent at Charlotte.)

Has proved itself to he of the solid Institutions
of this country. 1t Chartered in May, 1919.
more than As years ago, and has survived and
fourshed Until January, 1868, after paying all losses
promptly, and to the large amount of SIT 485 8o417
and at the Office Of the General Agent in Raleigh has
been paid $4,000 to widows and orphans in the
past two years.
The Official Record for the year 1867 is gratifying
to the $4,000 policy holders.
Income for the year past, S5,000,00O
assets peH Secured, 100000
Neo Members Insured, 10000
The rapid growth of this institution shows that
where it is well known and its system of operations
understood it is favorite and highly favored Com
pany. The Officers and Managers have neither the
time taste to notice of the unjust and mali
cious attacks made by one or two rival Companies.
By referring to the Report of the Insurance Com
missioners of Massachusetts, it will be that the
Etnas ratio per cent of expenses of cost of new
business is less than that of any other Company;
and that the ratio per cent of increase in s
greater than any other Company, and more than
times the average of the AZ Companies reported.
by lnsuring in the Etna you get nearly twice the
amount of insurance for the amount of money
that you would by insurng in an all Cash Company
For instance man has just 500 to spare annually
for Life Insurance and no more He wants it to buy
all the insurance he possibly get in first class
Company. II buys 5000 in an all Cash Company
and $4,000 from Note Company $50 per cent motel
Now suppose the man dies the first year, his family
gets So, 600 from all Cash Company, and 80, 900
from a Note Company-Note being deducted. 8. T.
of Kinston, N c., insured in the IEtna in 1866 for
$4,000. He paid in cash $l66 and note $685. A
few months after he died and his family received
$4,000 less his note. Here will state only one
note is deducted from the Policy. Had he insured
in an all Cash Company and paid 1886 his family
would have received only $1,000. This shows q
difference of nearly $1,000 in favor of the Ktna.
Persons contemplating insurance will find IL 70
