ed the fact that INDECENT pupils were now
furnished with text books, for it was not

pupils in this city are furnished with
books and a still greater number in the

Rev. a. Hoover said the books were not

| The law of The State was that only those
POOR children whose fathers were dead
could be furnished with books by the
State.
Supt. Roller thoughta great era was
coming. Said, now the scholars would
come with the wrong book, or sometimes
| without any books and the teacher could
not make them get them, and there they
sat for days. He pictured in glowing
terms the time when the teachers would
have all the requisites for teaching under
their own command, and, with their box
of books in the school room ready to dis
tribute, be Independent. AS he wound
up with teachers a glorious day is COM
ing!' Mr.. John w hitmore got up and said ::
"Y IS it would be a glorious day for the
teachers when at the end of the session
they had to hire a cart and send it all over
the county TO gather up the books"
Mr. Il. J. Dyche said the difficulty of
making all average was due to "a number
of children having to leave school because
they could not get books.
MI. j. J. Lincoln Said there was law
by which pupils failing to get books after
certain length of time could be suspend
ed and counted in the average.
Mr.. A IL. Towberman tho ught an in
crease in tax would have tendency to
pref ldice the people against the public
schools. He had noticed that where he
had the largest supplement- in his school,
there was the most interest taken, and
thought it WAS because the parents had
more invested in Jhe school than at other
times; for that reason he thought it would
be better to let the parents pay for the
books

get, responded.
Mr. Gillian thought for the children to
realize that the State was doing 80 much
for them, would make them more patriotic.
Mr.. Read seemed to be alarmed at the
turn matters were taking. He said if the
bill was passed it would ruin the country;
that the whole country would be filled
with old books.
After a vote, the result of which Was
awaited with considerable excitement, the
paper petitionlng the legislature not to
provide free text books, Was declared TO
be carried by a vote of 26 to e. After
the transaction of some miscellaneous
business the Institute adjourned.

New Life Insurance Asso c,at,on,

Stanton bids fair to become life. in
surance centre of no little importancs. 1t
already has two successful companies and
| now third has been organized. 1t is
called the Inter. States Life Association -
and the following are its officers-M.
Erskine Miller, President, H. M. Bell, 1st
| Vice President; j. Fred. Eficger, End
| Vice President: Charles L. Cooke; Secre-
I tary; Asher Ayers, Asst. Secretary, JOS
| E. Rollins, Treasurer, and G. g. Jordan
of North Carolina, Manager of the Agency
| Department. The names will be recog-
niZe at once as gentlemen prominent in
business affairs. Mr.. Miller is engaged in
banking and coal mining; Maj. Bell is
member of the widely known firm of Echols,
Bell Il Catlett; Mr.. Eflnger is connec-
ted with one of our banks and largely en-
gagged IN other enterprises; Mr.. Cooke is
one Of the founders and the late Secretary
of the Valley Mutual Co.; MIR. Ayers, also
lately held prominent position in the
same company; Mr.. Rollins is the Assis-
tant Cashier of the National Valley Bauk,
and Mr.. Jordan is one of the forem osI
men in the South in life insurance. In
the nature OF insurance affairs, Mr.. q. l..
Cookies position of Secretary is the most
important ia the Institution, aud to Mr..
Cooke, The Guardian" the life insurance
organ OF Boston, Mass, pays an editorial
tribute of a column iD length. 1t speaks
of the character of his management, his
broad views, practical grasp of the de-
mands of the future as we'll as the require
mehts of the present, and adds: I'VE shall
LOOK to seq tho success ne has made in the
past, increase with the greater success he
is capable of achieving in the future.''
The new Inter-Sgates Association of
which Mr.. Cooke is at the helm, Will sail
in a broad SEA with a secure anchorage in
each State it does business in, having a
local board in each. In North Carolina it
will have SIX OF the most prominent citizens
oil. that State on It's local State board. In
Tennessee, ULele that well known insur-
ancs man. j. W. Jackson, is to have
charge, there will be a local board of SIM
liar strength.
The life Insurance interest ip Stanton
Is such as to give solid confidence in any
new company started here. The Valley
Mutual is IN the high tide OF a prosperous
career. The Stanton Lite, later occu.
pant of the field, mas long since turned the
hill and is on a firm and profitable basis.
The Inter States we hear will enter the
field with million of insurance ready
placed. Stanton is its home headquar ters,
| while each State will have its own local
headquarters. The plan upon which it is
organized is pronounced by one of the
most distinguished ac5uaries in New York
as the best he has ever knowa, and SO
simple that his greatest surprise is that
some one haG not thought OF it before.
