BEFORE it is too late let the POTTER
Committee give the public some iuforma-
tion regarding the board Bills of the
Democratic visiting statesman in Florida.
We know now how those bills contracted
by Republicans were paid, and if the Com
mittee fails to make a similar exposure on
the other side, its remissness will disappoint
an anxious public Exactly what all this
has to do with the validity of The Title we
are not prepared to say; but it must have
something to do with it, or Mr.. POTTER
would not expend so much public time and
money, not to say personal energy upon it.

FIRE insurance in most cases brings profit
to the insurers, 1t is stated that only six
out of the sixty-eight fire insurance COM
panies in New York city failed to make
dividends last year. The largest dividend
(S302,000) was declared by the Home; the
next largest (S134,0OO and 100000 respec-
Iiyely) by the Continental and the Ameri-
can. The others ranged from $4,000 to
100000. The average losses during the
year were small in comparison with the
premiums received; but the heavy blows
struck since the beginning of this year will
make sharp call upon the reserves and
justify the companies in returning to the
higher rates that formerly prevailed

WHY SUPPORT THE GRANGE!

Many farmers wish to do good to the
cause of agriculture $50 they say who do
not look upon the grange favorabiy. They
will pay five or SIX times as much to become
Masons or Odd Fellows, and much more
for dues, when the grange is, all morally
and socially, that they are leaving out the
advantage gained by admitting our wives
and daughters, and the direct istruction in
our daily labor on the farm. Farmers,
wake up! be in earnest; work patiently
and diligently. and let us learn our business
and take care of it. United we stand"
etc, / say be earnest, working grangers.
Read grange literature and practice what
you preach. 1t will pay largely. a day or
two since l met an old granger and asked
him how his grange prospered. They are
about Dead" was his answer. He was
master, and said he had lone his best to
keep them alive. asked him if they took
and read grange papers. mo" said he,
''they did not" | said the Farmer was a
good paper. "Well," said he, with a broad
grin, 81 always thought il a man hadn't
brains enough to run his agricultural bust
ness, papers would do no good" said
within myself, nc wonder they failed, if
such an old fogy is their ruling spirit. Does
he not need to be a granger? He is land
poor and his sons take to other callings as
soon as they are old enough. Readers,
stick to the grange. DO not hang on, but
put your shoulder to the work. Push it ON
and you will love it.-Ladiama Farmer.

We make a suggestion to some competent
writer who loves North Carolina and is
proud Of the record of the men of the past.
1t is to carefully prepare a vol lme of elabor-
ate sketches of individual character, to be

The material exists for such a volume. 1t

An enjoyable and useful volume could be
written on the worthless who 1ourished in

A CONTINENTAL very sensitive editor
complains thusly: 1t is strange how closely
men read the newspapers. We never say

we soon hear of it. If, however, once in a
while We happen to say agood thing, we
never hear of that. We pay some men a
hundred compliments and give him a dozen
puffs, and he takes itall as a tribute of his
goodness. and never thinks it does him any
good. But IT We happen to say things this
man don't like, or something he imagines is
a reflection on him or his character see how
quick he flares up and gets angry about it.
Ali our evils are duly charged to us, but we
never apparently get any credit for what good
we do"
