TIE above statement of premiums and
losses is a summary of the amounts re-
ported by the companies themselves to
the Secretary of State, and there is not
much room for any inaccuracy in the
balance footed up.
The insurance companies have as much
fright to make money as anybody, and
we are not complaining at their pros
perity. The point is that this profit
should be kept at home, so far as posi-
BILE, instead of being scattered abroad,
and there is but one way to keep it at
home The people Of the State are learn
ing the value of buying at home. There
are scores OF men in this vicinity who
use only the grades of -four that are
manufactured by our own mills. And
when we learn that the same indi-
rect advantage results from buying
our insurance at home as from buy
ing other things at home, then the
assured will uniformly demand insur-
ance in North Carolina companies, and
especially in those home companies
whose plan of organization admits the
policy holders to a participation in the
profits. The only insurance which out
side companies ought to expect to be

The Moaey That Goes Out of the State
For 4 ire Insurance.
GREENSBORO, N. c., Sept. 81.

GREENSBORO, N. c., Sept. 81.
| To the Editor of the News and Observer:
There appears in this weeks issue of
the Insurance Herald, which is the or
gan of the Southeastern Tariff Associa-
ton, an editorial which questions the
accuracy of the statement made in your
columns last week that, of the premiums
paid last year by the people of this State
| to outside fire Insurance companies,
about So, 320, 900, had gone never to come
back in the payment of losses or in any
form. The Insurance Herald not only
questions the statement, but denies "the
average editors" right to have an opin-
ion on such matters.
This same statement of the NEWS AND
OBSERVER was questioned in last Sun
days issue of your paper in a published
interview with one Of the States best in
surance authorities Each of these
champions of outside fire insurance COM
panies has taken it for granted that your
figures made no allowance for the Is per
cent commission paid to agents, which
constitutes the principal item of expense
that is disbursed by outside companies
within the State
A careful review of the statistics furn-
ished by the Secretary Of State will show
that allowance was made for this item
of commission and that the amount
stated by the NEWS AND OBSERVER to
have been paid for the year ending July
/, 1895, to outside fire insurance com
panies over and above what was return
ed by them in payment of losses and
other disbursements, was very far wrong.
The published report of the Secretary of
State does not give the business done by
the Connecticut, the Delaware, the Penn
sylvania, and the Phoenix of London.
Estimating the combined premiums of
these four companies TO be $50, 900
and their combined losses to be 80, 900
and this is a conservative estimate,
the total premiums Of the outside com
panies viii stand at $3.50 377 % and the
total losses at $288, 100 90 Add to the
losses $113, 3O6 IS paid as commits
sions to agents, $15, 1874, being
the State tax Of 2 per centc. on gross
premiums, $4,000, being the annual
license paid by the fifty outside fire in
surance companies doing business in the
State, 81 800 being the cost OF 90 agents
certificates for each of the fifty compa-
MES (this is a liberal estimate, as many
Of the companies have not exceeding Is
agencies), and there still remains to be
accounted for by the outside insurance
companies 1881 ,G93 GO, which is about
$500 less than the amount stated by the
NEWS AND OBSERVER.
The above figures do not include the
business done by North Carolina com
panies and marine and accident compa-
MES. If the outside fire insurance com
panies were to render balance sheet to
the people of North Carolina, showing
the amount of money taken out of the
State by them and the amount returned
by them for the year ending July /,
1895, it would stand as follows:

TALMAGE WANTED, IN LONDON.
A Great Syndicate Offers Him ANY
Salary he May Name.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-Dr.
Sunderland, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church here, which has called
Rev. T. Dewitt TaImage, expressing
confidence to-day of DR.. Talmage's &C
ceptance, referred to several other calls
which the Brooklyn divine has had
under consideration. DR.. Sunderland
said:
Ellis best offer, from monetary point
of view, was from a great syndicate in
London, which offered him any salary
he might name and further proposed to
build him an enormous edifce. Then
there was another proposition made to
him lately, which he took under serious
consideration The Red Gross Society,
| think it was, raised a large sum Of
money for the relief of the Ar
menians who were objects of hatred of
the Turks not many months ago. They
addressed DR.. Talmage and proposed
to him to go to Armenia in their behalf
and expend the money for the benefit Of
the suffering Christians in that persecu-
ted land. He concluded, after consid-
Grafton, not to accept this mission. Be
sides these offers, it is understood that
several churches wish his services, and
the intimation is made that another
Washington church is seeking to secure
him, but what church, do not know. y
DIR. TaImage Has Accepted.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.-Rev.
DIR. Talmage, of Brooklyn, has accepted
the call to the co-pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of this city. This
decision was communicated by him to
the special committee of elders, deacons
and trustees in a letter received to- day.
DR.. Talmage is to be co-pastor of the
church of equal authority with DR.. Sun
derland, and probably will preach one
half of the sermons, beginning Sunday

The Democrats Silver Bull.

The roads were hot and dusty,
And the air was dry and fiat.
But the silver agitators,
Never cared a cent for that.
For they kept and kept accounting,
And a crowding round the ring,
just Il cheering and a-yelling,
For the silver bull and king
1t was fun to see them ride him,
But they couldn't make him gee,
7Till a Democrat had mounted,
That was sitting next to me.
Then the way that he did hustle
With his tail high in the air,
Would be lesson to the horses
That Wen have at our Fair.
Butler was trying TO head him
With some kind of new reform,
And coax him in his pastures,
Where the grass is rank and long.
But the bull he couldn't see it,
And he knew he had his load,
So he passed and kept heading
Down the Democratic road.
