Deserving Enterprise.

The Southern Stock Mutual Insu-
rance Company, of Greensboro, an add
vertsement of which appears in this
paper, should command the support Of
our people. Although a new enter
prize it's list Of incorporators, its finan-
cial backing, plan of operation, and
staff of officers are sufficient guarantee
of its solid character and successful ca
reer. Mr.. James r. Young is the COM
pany's agent in Henderson. The
Charlotte Observer in speaking Of the
Southern Stock Mutual Insurance
Company recently said:
Fabulous sums go out of North Caro-
lima yearly for insurance and other pur-
poses-money which should be kept at
home; but this statement would not be
worth a moments consideration by
business man in contemplating the claims
of a local insurance company unless
some such statements as these could be
made about it, That the capital of this
new company is 100000, subscribed by
twenty capitalists, each of whom testi-
fies that he is worth not less than
$25, 900; that all profits, except 10 per
cent, which is set aside for a reserve fund,
are divided among the policy holders
that policy holders are worcestershire.
These features make the company as
good as the best. 1t is dangerous
thing for an individual Or a newspaper
to give advice to the public about mat
ters in which money is involved; but the
Observer, without the slightest reserva-
ton, gives it's endorsement to the South
ern Stock Mutual Insurance Company.

ED1ToR GOLD Leaf" There's life in
this old land yet and money too. Last
week tract OF 1877 acres of improved
|
sold privately for ST 900. About the
same time another tract of 1919 acres,
situated about half way between Viii
| liamsboro and Dabney, with improve
ments worth not over $500, was sold for
1900. Both cash or it's equivalent.
| There is plenty of money to be had at
| six per cent.
The spring time has come-the fruit
crop has not been killed and the Leqis-
lature has adjourned. 1t did us pretty
bad with its county government, cleo
ton law, heavy appropriations, etc, and
we won't know how bad it has done Us
till we've seen the book of the laws.
However, there is no evil without its
attendant good, and by hard, close
squeeze these things and the death OF
| Douglass may yet save the State to the
Democratic party. But whether they do
or not, let Us console ourselves with the
thought that "nigger magistrates
won't try us if We don't do bad and
that it is still nearly a year and hall
before the voice OF the fusion orator will
be heard again in the land and with the
further thought that the laws and the
facts and the money are to the diligent
and not to the idle; that no party can
much help or harm US; that Heaven
helps those who help themselves" and
that the year 1895 is one in which we
can SOW and gather and no politician
modest US or make us afraid. And ii il
shall turn out this year that crops grow
better and grass grows less. that cut
worms, and hOrn-worms, and drouths
and wet spells, and storms do not de
stroy, that cotton and tobacco are
higher, money more plentiful and times
better, and if fusionists shall claim anC
prove that fusion brought all thes'
things to pass, let Us not refuse thu
blessings on that account. but like thu
old woman whose prayer for bread wal
answered by the bad boy throwing
bread down the chimney, We will exclaim
| THE Lord sent it if the devil did brn:
it, Now let us all 90 to work in earnes
to better our individual conditions an'
thus will the Comm onwealth be increased
