A BUSINESS ROMANCE.
It Is the True Story of the Rise Of a Hum
BILE Young Man.

IT Is the True Story of the Rise Of n Hum
BILE Young Man.
A young man who was working rs
clerk in an importing house Lad occa-
sion frequently i'll the course of business
to call at Il certain large manufacturing
establishment The head of the concern
took fancy to him. One day he asked
the young man what salary he was get
ting, what his chances of promotion
were and so ON. He was told and then
said to the young man that he thought
there was better opportunity for him
in his office than in the house where be
was then employed.
The young man replied that he should
of course like 10 better himself, but
that his engagement would not permit
him to leave for some time to come.
The head Of the house said he thought
he might induce his employer TO let
him 60. He accordingly wrote a note 70
the senior partner Of the importing
house, with whom he was ON intimate
terms, saying that he had formed hk-
ing for the young man, that lie believed
there was better opening for him II
his Office and asking that he be released.
The next day the young man came back
with a letter n which his employer,
while expressing regret at losing his
services, said that he recognized the
larger opportunity offered him, and, as
he don't want to stand in his way, re.
leased him. The clerk went TO work IN
his new position and so confirmed his
employers good impressions that his
promotion was rapid. He went from one
responsible position to another until he
was next 10 the manager Cf the house.

THE resolutions forwarded to st
Louis, Kansas City and Chicago
have borne fruit as will be seen by
the two letters published elsewhere
in the ARDMOREITE today. They
were today received by Major
Zuckerman. That from St. Louis
is gratifying in the extreme in that
the matter involved has received
the endorsement of so powerful a
body as the Merchants Exchange
The Chicago Board of Trade does
not thoroughly understand our
condition as does the st. Lonis
exchange. The same objections
were urged by Mr.. Booth president
of that body, to the editor of the
ARDMoREITE during his recent
visit to that city, but after an
hours conference he looked at it in
a different light and promised the
support his letter to Major Zuck-
erman says has been extended.
The ARDMOREITE has information
that the Commercial Club of
Kansas City, which body was also
visited has taken favorable action
the report of which will be sub
mitted at its next regular meeting
The Chicago Board of Trade
should be furnished, as it will be,
with a clear and full statement of
the situation, after which no doubt
it will fall in line with St. Louis
and Kansas City in our behalf
Let the good work be prosecuted.

THE letter published elsewhere
from the Phoenix Insurance Com
pany is worthy the early attention
of our people. 1t is a clear state
ment of the attitude of one of the
strongest fire insurance companies
doing business in ArdmOre and is
not in the nature of a bluff. 1t is
simply a plain business proposition
and means just what it says, in
fact we regard it as very cOnser-
vative in its tone. They and
other companies want to continue
in business in ArdmOre but they
do not want to carry risks SO very
hazardous, when it is possible for
our people to comply with their
reasonable demands. The situa-
ton as it now exists will not be
submitted to by these companies
They will either advance the rates
according to the character of the
risk or will withdraw from the
town entirely The former action
would be nearly as disastrous as
the latter for a general cutting
down of the lines and advance of
rates will be ruirous. The ques-
ton resolves itself down to the
simple proposition, what are we
going to do about it? A "reas
enable time" does not mean an
indefinite period, so if anything is
to be done now is the time for
action. This is IA condition and
not a theory with which we are
confronted

THE SENATE REoRGANIzArgov.
The F"pubiicans 10 Caucus O4 4 Mon.
day Evening.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. pa
caucus Of the Republican Senators will
he held after the adjournment of the
Senate on Monday next. A sufficient
number Of names have been signed to
call to insure a caucus, which will
consider the party policy for the com
ing session. The reorganization of the
Senate may be discussed, and the
Northwestern Senators have decided
10 present the name of ex-Mayor A. j.
Shaw. of Spokane Falls, Wash, for SER
geant-at-arms.
The test in the Senate over the re-
organization is scheduled to take this
programme by those Republicans who
are anxious to force the issue: The
Republicans will move a resolution to
elect a President pro tempore, naming
probably, Mr.. Frye. The Democrats
will move an amendment proposing to
substitute the name of Mr.. Harris for
that of Mr.. Frye. The Populists will
move an amendment to the amend
ment, proposing to substitute the
name of Mr.. Allen or Mr.. PETER for
that of Mr., Harris. Those several mo-.
tons are allowable under the Senate
rules, and vote would first come on
the Populist amendment to strike out
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1895-11-30

the name of Mr.. Harris and insert the
name of Mr. Allen. This amendment
to the amendment would receive not
more than about siv votes. So, the
Populist motion having been voted
down the next question would be on
the Democratic amendment TO strike
out the name of Mr.. Frye and insert
the name of Mr. Harris. That having
been voted on and lost the Senate
would soon be brought to the consid-
Grafton OF the original or main ques-
tion--the Republican resolution to
elect Mr. Frye to be President pro tenn
pore of the Senate.
Assuming that Senators would then
vote on one side or the other, the Re
publican resolution would be adopted
unless, as previously suggested all of
the Populists should join the Demo-
Gratis in voting solidly against the
adoption of the resolution. In the lat
ter event the Republican resolution
would be lost But the advocates of
reorganization assert that defeat
would be only temporary There is
nothing to prevent the Republicans
from repeating from time to time their
efforts TO have their resolution adopt
ed, and members of that party have am
nounced that such further attempts
will be made if in the first instance
they shall fail to carry their point.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.- There is a
growing probability that the Republi-
cans at their caucus on next Monday,
will decide to attempt to re-organize
the Senate on Republican lines, and
that candidate for President pro TEN
viii then be decided upon.
Quite a number of Republican Sena-
| tors, Including three or four members
| of the Steering committee, were at the
| capitol to-day. and an informal eX-
change Of views among them resulted
| in the general adoption of this conclu-
sion. There IS a difference of opinion
| as 10 the wisdom of attempting more
| than the election of presiding officer
in the beginning, but the preponder-
ance of opinion is that action at that
| time viii be confined to this office If
| the Republican candidate succeeds in
this contest the Republicans then will
place candidates in the field for the
other elective offices.
SO far, Senator Fry's name is the on
| ly one heard in connection with the of
flee Of President pro TEN here, but
there are several aspirants for the 9TH
er offices.

fected by the aid of ladders. Practi-
cally nothing was saved, the members
of the family not having tiYe to Sc
cure garments other than. tffeir night

thousand and was insured for four
thousand, with one thousand on the
furniture. The latter figure is far
short of the value of the furnishing.
