INSURANCE REPORT FOR LAST YEAR.

RALEIGH April 3 1S9S.-The report of
North Carolina insurance business for last
year was issued today by the Secretary of
state. The report shows premium receipts
for fire risks $500, $50; LOSSES 1866, 09S; life
premiums, 81 $50, 734; losses, 1868, 304.
Where does most of the insurance surplus
or earnings go? We often hear good, honest
people speaking of home industries and eX-
pressing deep sorrow that there are thou
sands and millions of dollars leaving
State and lodging in the vaults and banks
of Northern cities. We are tagging behind
in the accumulation of wealth be cause we
are sending money out of the Sta,e, out of
the country, out of the town. that should be
kept at home and used to start new enter
prlses which would give work to the laborer,
bread to the hungry, business to the mer-
chant and a demand for our manufactured
goods.
Any one must see that the problem is
solved who was at the Court House at the
annual meeting of the Farmers Mutual
and heard those burning words of Capt. s.
Il. Alexander, Capt. Samuel A. Ashe and
ex-Chief Justice Shepherd endorsing the
plan of the Carolina Benevolent Association
and the last truthful and eloquent sentences
of Jesse K. Wharton, Sec and Treas. of the
Farmers Mutual as follows:
Besides the small cost and certainty of
speedy payment of losses; the chief feature
of our method of insurance is that the
money paid out stays in the county, and
is not used largely in the payment of high
salaried officers doing business in costly
buildings IN some northern city,
For every 81 paid out by old life and fire
insurance companies, only about 81 stays
with us.
If he who makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before is esteemed a bene-
factor, surely our organization richly de-
serves this distinction"
These men are not in the habit of lending
their eff orts and influence to a scheme of
chance or trap for the unwary.
The Carolina Benevolent Association is
able future not only for your family but for
yourself as well and of keeping the money
at home If you buy certificate of insur-
ance with this company it guarantees the
payment of 81 900 at death and $500 upon
the satisfactory proof of disability, such as
the loss of foot or both eyes, and $3.50 in
case you arrive at the age of 10 and elect to
surrender your policy. 1t offers the most
perfect indemnity and is the cheapest Life
Insurance Company i'll the country. Why?
Because it gives you protection at the actual
mortality cost of healthy locality and has
the smallest expense element of any COM
pany in the country. If you don't believe
it is solvent and safe, reflect that Capt. b.
Alexander is chairman of the Board of Di-
rectors who manage and control it, that
urer. and that he handles all the funds and
is under SIS, 900 bond, and that ex>ChIef
Justice Jas. L. Shepherd is the legal adj
wiser.

THAT LIBEL.

1t has been q hard matter to over
take and capture that lie in reference
to the great difficulty of North Caro-
lima to supply her quota of volun-
teers, coupled with the intimaticn of
lack of patriotism. 1t has been
denied of course, as should have been
done, but the denial was made less
conspicuous than the charge, and
the charge was seen by many who
did not see the denial.
AS evidence of the fact that the
blot placed upon US by the hand OF
calumny has not been entirely wiped
out, we hear that our townsman,
Hon. C. B. Watson, Is in receipt of
letter, addressed to him as Governor
of North Carolina, from Green b..
Raum, OF Illinois, formerly Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, in which
Mr.. Raum recites the purported
difficulty in raising volunteers in
North Carolina and states that Hi
nois has met her quota and has
others anxious to go and makes a
a tender of regiment of Illinoisians
to be enlisted as North Carolinians.
In striking contrast with the false
impression that has gained currency,
we are told that the authorities at
| Raleigh have received, under the
second call, tenders of thirty odd
companies, when only about half this
number can be accepted.
In this connection, we noticed an
article in the Washington Post, q
day or two ago, from the pen of our
| townsman, Hon. r. B. Glenn, il
which he thanks that paper for its
defence of the South, and after re
! hearsing some of the difficulties at
tending the enrolling and equippine
of volunteers, pays the following
handsome and just tribute to tht
bravery and patriotism of the South
ern people. Mr.. Glenn says:
cit is no lack OF bravery that keeps
| our ranns thin, for the sons OF tn,
l lACh WIZ OhO ChhA CT oOOtS d
burg, who fought to the finish in tn,
Wilderness, and died in the trenches
around Richmond can never b,
branded with cowardice. Neither il
it lack of patriotism, for the Stars
and Stripes are just as dear to US al
the North and the honor of ou
nation will be protected with the las
drop of our blood. For the reasonl
above given we may just now be {
little slow, but wait until we marcel
to the front-wait until we meet tn
enemy-wait until, with our elbow
touching the elbows of our bray
fellow soldiers of the North, we ar
ordered to charge the batteries O
forts of the Spaniards, and then witt
the yell, once known as the 'rebe
yell, you will see our boys ready t.
die in our country's cause and h,
their valor give the falsehood to tn
petty charges now made agains
them"
Well and truly said, Mr.. Glenn, a
the demeanor of the troops from
North Carolina and other Southern
States will amply confirm.

The Republicans take to a bond
issue like q duck to the water. Not
one Republican voted against the
bond issue feature of the war revenue
bill. This may be accounted for by
the fact that the Republicans are
under obligations to those who
usually constitute the bond-taking
class. In reference to the forthcom-
ing issue we believe it is to be called
q popular loan, that is the bonds
will be of small denominations and
will be offered to the general public,
but we are guessing that the lions
share will fall into the hands of the
usual coupon-clipping contingent.

Wilson Times.
The Democratic State Convention
was wise in rtj -eting the Populist
proposition to fuse. After the Pop
ulists endorsed the shameful admin
istration of Governor Russell, that
has been full of ISLANDERS, misgoYern-
ment and vice, we fail to see how the
Democrats could accept a PROPOSE
ton for fusion and retain their self
respect. We never believed, even
during the last campaign, that the
Populists were sincere and wanted
fusion with the Democrats, but
Butler simply made the proposition
to fool his followers and keep those
honestly in favor of silver from going

NORTH CAROLINA has no General,
not for the lack of material, but
evidently for the lack of proper effort
on the part of our representatives at
Washington, particularly on the
part of our Senators. If they have
done anything in this direction we
have not heard of it.
THE kind of stuff of which our
navy is made is illustrated by the
statement that when a call for eight
volunteers ives made by Admiral
Sampson for the purpose of sinking
the Merrimac and obstructing the
Santiago channel, four thousand
men responded to the call.

HAZARDOUS AND BRAVE.

A brilliant and daring deed was
that of sinking the Merrimac in the
Santiago channel by Naval Con-
structor Hobson and his seven men.
1t was an act of such conspicuous
bravery as to receive immediate
recognition by flag of truce from the
Commander of the Spanish fleet and
as to challenge worldwide admira-
ton.
North Carolinians feel especial
pride in this heroic performance.
because the leader of the hazardous
expedition, Lieutenant Richmond
Pearson Hobson, is of North Caro-
lima origin. AS told elsewhere he is
a grandson of North Cardinals
famous jurist, the late Chief Justice
Pearson, and a nephew of Hon.
Richmond Pearson, who now repre-
sents the Asheville district in Con-
gress. He is, also, great.nephew of
Governor John .Morehead. More
over, the parents of Lieutenant Hob
son were from our neighboring
counties of Davie and Yadkin. So,
it will be seen, he is very nearly a
native North Garolinian.
At any rate, his valor at Santiago,
which has electrified the nation, is
typical of the courage which has
characterized North Caroliniaus in
every time of emergency. A con-
spicuous place in the history of the
present war will be accorded Rich
mond Pearson Hobson.

NOTABLE events in the war history
are expected this week. Indeed, the

present week will see the climax of
the war. 1t says: Santiago and
Porto Rico are to pass into the
possession of the United States.
Against both places military and
naval expedition of great force is to
be directed, and before many days
will come the news of two notable
engage nents. Both will be success
full" The Post thinks the attacks
upon Santiago and San Juan will be
made about the same time. 1t adds
that the President is anxious that
Porto Rico shall be in possession of
the United States before Spain
actually sues for peace.

1t was reported from the boat land
ing late Saturday night that a native
very drunk was asleep near the new
Brewer & Co. warehouse on the water
front. Capt. Kekai and Officer Vida
were sent from the Station to investi-
gate. They came back after the patrol
wagon. The vehicle was in use and
a dump cart was borrowed for trans
portation purpose. The drunken man
was found to be Kia, an old offender.
He was given a ride to the jail and
upon reaching the place suddenly
awakened from his stupor and smil-
ingIy remarked that he had made a
good joke" on Kekai and Vida. IN
stead of being dead drunk as usual,
Kia was only half shot, and in a
humorous mood. He was sent below
to laugh by himself.

made in 2:32. was declared a dead
heat. After a short rest the second
heat was run of in the excellent time
of 2:24 The horses kept well together
all the way around and finished side
by side again making a dead heat In
two instances on the back stretch Mary
came near carrying Durfee into the
fence and had not Durfee called to
Gibson to Get out of the road" seri-
Gus results might have followed.
Many were of the opinion that the
race was decided in the first heat and
a protest was suggested. Rather than
argue on the merits of the race, the
Major said that he would accept de-
feat and the dinner was on him.
Those who were in the paddock when
the horses were driven out expressed
surprise at the manner in which Bob
stepped out Just like Wood" was
the comment Of all. It is understood
that the next match is to be a running
race, mile dash, owners to ride.
