A DISGUSTED DELEGATE.

Some of the best Southern Demo
Gratis are men of Northern birth, who
have come South to live. They often
come as Republicans, honestly desir-
ing the success of their party. After
they have been in the State few years
they learn that Democratic success at
fords the only protection to proper
ty, and the only hope of good govern
ment.
We publish to-day a letter from a
Chatham Republican, an intelligent
Northern gentleman, who has been
living in the State four years. HIS
first experience in North Carolina Re-
publican conventions was at the con-
yention that nominated Russell. lie
was on the credentials committee, and
now declares that he cannot endorse
the corruption, vote stealing and
fraud practiced by the Russellites
His letter has a manly ring.

Salisbury, \. C.. April %, 1896,
The indirect benefit which results
to the public from patronizing home
institutions has been brought home TO
us recently in such a way that we de-
sire to call attention to a special in
stance of it.
The Southern Stock-Mutual lnsur-
ance Company of Greensboro, \. c.,
has been doing business here a little
more than a year, and the money our
people have paid this company for fire
Insurance has come back to us multi
piled several times. This company has
lust made a loan of 100000 to the
Central Land Company, of Salisbury,
of which the undersigned are directors,
and with the proceeds of this loan
many homes are being built on the
Central Land Company's property to
accommodate Salisbury's increasing
population.
Here is a very practical demonstra-
tion of the advantage of fostering
home institutions. The money which
the people of Salisbury paid last year
to tiie Southern Stock-NIutual lnsur-
ance Company, has not been carried to
New York or Liverpool: but has come
back to our doors increased fnur-fold.

THE ORGANIZED MILITIA.
How the Government Pamphlet May
Be Obtained From the Public Printer


1t is expected that the government PAM
phiet relating to the organized militia of
the United States for the year 1895, pre-
pared in the bureau of military informa-
tion, War Department, will be issued about
the middle of February. Under the law
only 1000 copies Of this document can be
printed for free distribution, and this num-
ber is wholly inadequate to meet the de-
mands for them from military organiza-
tions all over the country. In order to meet
this extra demand, however, arrangements
have been made whereby the public printer
will publish copies for general distribution
at the, rate of 80 cents per copy. Applica-
tions for these copies should be made to
the public printer before February 8, so
that he made be enabled to know how
many to strike off.
In the compilation of this report it be-
came necessary to correspond with officers
of the National Guard of the various states,
and this fact is the sole foundation for the
startling war rumof current a few days
ago that the government was arranging
to mobilize the militia of Florida to pre-
vent an invasion by the British flying
squadron.
