LINCoLNToN, n. c., May 3.-The
Democratic primaries, held in this
county preparatory to the county
convention which meets here next Sat
urday, were very well attended by
Democrats, both Alliance and non-Al-
lance. Harmony prevailed through
out. Some of the townships passed
resolutions instructing their delegates
to support Holt for Governor and the
Democratic nominees on down. Others
passed resolutions not to instruct their
delegates. but leaving it with them en-
tirely. No Third-partyites strayed in,
nor was there a suggestion of the St.
Louis platform. Osborne's prospects
for Attorney General are encouraging
in this county. The municipal cleo
tion was held yesterday, and created
some excitement, as there were two
full tickets out. Mr.. j. NJ. Roberts
editor of the Courier, was elected
mayor by large majority over W. Fl
Motz independently. The aldermen
regularly nominated were also elected
by a good majority.

DEAR SIR: Yours of the 2Oth
relative to the failure of the St. Paul
German Insurance Company is re-
ceived. This company failed or made
an assignment on account OF unprece
dented losses in the last three or foul
months. Their securities ought to bt
sufficient to pay all losses and all un
earned premiums, and if they are not
it IS the opinion Of the best lawyer
here that the stockholders are liabl
for double the amount Of their stock.
l think policy holders will receiv
their nnearned premiums nearly o
quite in full, but it will take som
time to dispose Of the securities an
settle up the affairs of the company
If l held a policy l should certainl
reinsure at once in some other CON

F. Fra men, the assignee, for the ur
j, earned premiums, and in time l thin
they will be allowed and paid.
