Hand in the Fight--All the Business
Going to 1t at the Old Rates, While
the Tariff Association is Being
Called on to Cancel Policies and Re-
new Them at Cut Rates.
The course Of the people Of Green's
boro in standing by one of their home
enterprises, the Southern Stock Mu
;ual Insurance Company, in the hgh,
being made against it by the South
eastern Tariff Association Ca c"mbina
ton Of fire insurance companies which
have banded themselves together to
maintain rates, the Greensboro COM
pauy not being a member Of the pooD
is commcndable in the highest degree.
They see in this another effort to dr> e
out competition and when this IS done
the old rates will be restored. A cor
respondent of the Charlotte Observer
says:
Nothing has happened in Greensboro
in years which has excited SO great and
such general interest as the insurance
rate war which was declared on Octo-
Der 18th by the Southeastern Tariff
Association against the Southern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company of
this city. This interest is widesp read
on account of the large number of peo-
pie throughout the State who are policy
holders in the company.
To disinterested spectator this in
surance fight has afforded some amuse-
ment, as well as interest, for it has
been attended by a series Of surprises
in which our people have found much
satisfaction.
When the rates were cut half in two
| by the Southeastern Tariff Association
an effort was made by the agents of
the association to induce the cancella-
ton Of the Stock-Mutual policies, but
50 far as 1 can learn only one policy
of the home company has been can
celled up to date, while on the other
hand the agents of the association have
been busy cancelliny their own poll
cics and rewriting them at the cut
rate.
l have seen an agreement signed by
already more than three-fourths of the
| property-owners of Greensboro land |
understand that Others are signing as
fast as it can circulate) by which tn ey
pledge themselves to continue to in
sure in the Southern Stock-Mutual all
such property as that company can
| handle and at the old established rate
There is only one opinion here, and
our people are determined. They take
a business view of the situation, pre-
fering the permanent benefits of the
mutual company to the temporary adj
vantage of cut rates which are offered
for an obvious illegitimate and detest-
able purpose.
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and the merchants ofGreensboro
have profited by this rate war in
rather an unprecedented way. The
Southern Stock Mutual does not insure
stocks Of merchandise, and in the past
three weeks the bulk of insurance on
merchandise in this city has been turn
ed in by the merchants in the assOcia-
ton companies for cancellation and
rewritten at the SO per cent. cut rate
The merchants are wearing broad
smile.
| am informed that the business of
the home company has been larger
during the last three weeks, since the
rate war began, than at any time in
its history, and our people are congrat-
ulating themselves that they have de-
monstrated that the combination can
not run it rough shod over them every
time.

Hon. Amos Cummings was seen at

that the mistake originated by the
