The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-02-05

AnSelenO lnaC racing really was
not as bad as 1t was painted,
and, knowing that one always re-
CARDS with favor a game that he
can beat, he evolved the idea that
it might not bad plan to let the
Governor win a bet or two. To
make sure that the scheme would
not miscarry, and that the Car
of the State Capitol would be
made to realize that racing as
conducted at Oakland is honest,
and that picking winners is only
a matter Of judgment, Nose
waited until there came a race
wherein the favorite seemingly
did not have a chance to lose. 1t
was the fifth, in which Fred Fos-
ter's sprinter Abuse was pitted
against an ordinary field, and
was a 1 to 8 chance in the bet
ting. Peixotto seemed to be as
good a thing for the place, and
was quoted at odds-on.
Nose sought out Barney Schrei-
ber's stand in the betting ring.
"Give me a ticket at even
money on Peixotto to show, and
I'll pay you the difference" he
said to the Dutchman. Its for
the Governor, and I want to give

fed the Los Angeleno that he had
placed a bet for him. Instantly
the Governor was all excitement,
and, delving into a pocket he pro-
duced a pair of eyeglasses and
proceeded to fit them to the exec
utive nose, while the Police Com
missioner pointed out on the pro-
gramme the name of the animal
which in his judgment had pos
sible chance to run second. Soon
the horses were off, and Abuse
cantered home a half-dozen
lengths ahead Of his field, Mr..
Gage with difficulty restraining
a desire to forget the dignity
looked for in a Governor and yell:
Come on you Abuse! Bring him
along, Cash. Abuse! Abuse!" and
sundry other advice calculated to
inspire courage in horse and rider.
Then the spectators saw Nose
dig down into pocket and bring
forth the Abuse ticket, which he
presented to the Governor. The
latter scowled slightly, and it was
thought for a moment by those
outside the stand that Nose had
given him "phony' ticket on
some losing horse and was reserv-

unquestionably greatly stimulate the
manufacture of the finer quality of
goods which have value of $50 to $50
per pound Under this stimulus mills
would soon be turning out product
valued at from S30,000,000 to $4,000
600 per annum. Certainly an industry
of such large proportions and still larger
possibilities should be fostered and
stimulated in this and every other way
practicable"
Mr.. w. L. Hall, of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, also gave the commit
tee some interesting figures in regard to
the growth and present condition of the
manufacture of cotton in North Caro-
lima.
Since 1890" he said I'VE have
caught up with and passed. as a manu-
featuring State, the States of Maine,
New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Georgia To-day we stand second,
South Carolina alone being ahead of u.s."
Interesting talks were also made by
Mr.. w. S. Primrose and Mr.. II. III. Bat
tie. of this city.
Mr. w. S. Primrose said there being
200 mills in the State and each mill
needing on an average three skilled
men each, it could be seen that there
could be some 600 positions open in the
near future for the men trained in such
school. He thought if it were cstab-
lished it ought to be in connection with
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege.
Mr.. Battle said: when everything
else is moving. why shouldn't North
Carolina move too. Factories are grow
ing up all over the State. Why shouldn't
we educate young men to take charge
of these mills Isn't it Il matter of
economy to do so. This school is a
necessity.
Il have my convictions as to where
the school ought to be placed, but I'm
willing to have it anywhere so that it
can be established. | am decidedly of
the opinion that it is for the best in
tereSts of the school and of the State
to attach it to the College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts"
Remarks were made by two members
of the committee-M essrs. Stevens, of
Union and Wall. of Rockingham.
The committee will meet again next
Tuesday night to discuss among them
selves the provisions of Mr.. Clarkson' 5
bill.

PROVIDENT SAVINGS.
Its Agency Force of Business Getters"
What They Accomplished in 1898.

Its Agency Force of Business Getters"
What They Accomplished in 1898.
The agency organization which the
Provident Savings Life Assurance So
ciety has created in the past two years
is one which any company may well
be proud Of Insurance companies de-
pend upon agents for the business they
secure, but effective agency systems
are difficult to bring into being. far
more difficult than the formation of
military organizations, because each
agent must be a producer, that IS, he
must have the knack of inducing men
to insure their lives. Every able-bodied
man can carry gun, but most able
bodied men are utterly untitled to sell
life assurance successfully although
of course, they may carry it,. This is
why the agents, those specially gifted
in the peculiar art of persuasion that Il
life insurance salesman must possess,
are relatively few in number, while the
persons waiting to be insured are rela-
lively many.
In drawing to itself an unusually eff
fective and well-selected corps of agents
the Provident Savings has not been a
passive loadstone. Corporations with
out strong men to run them are as in
sane MS anything imaginable. Men, es-
pecially life insurance agents, do not
come together in the service of com
pany for any other reason than that
they are recruited and rallied by other
men who possess the gifts of leader
ship. who have drawing power of that
drill and inspire the forces they en-
ploy in the field ard plan campaigns
for them to execute.
The applications for Provident Savings
policies last year exceeded 100000 u
day, counting every day IN the year,
the full amount of insurance applied for
being S3T $40. IA. OF this the society
accepted and issued its policies for $50
2G7 700. which figure represents its new
business fer 1898. Nearly $S.000,000
more insurance was applied for at the
Provident Savings office last year than
in 1897. result that displays the ac-
tivity and ability of its agents as well
as the vigorous growth of its agency sys-
tenn.
At the close of 1898 moro than S92.-
100000 of insurance was in force on
the Soc;ety's books, a gain of over 81
100000 during the year.
The society's annual statement shows
gains in assets, reserve and net surplus,
and an expense ratio noteworthy for its
moderateness.

WHY THE FUNDS ARE NEEDED.
Commander A B. Stronach Gives the
Object of the Bazaar.

Il want it understood" said Mr.. A. b.
StrOnach, who is now and has been Tor
the past two years commander of l..
OBJ. Branch Camp OF Confederate Vet
Grams, that the Confederate Bazaar to
be held in this CITY next week is for
the benefit o. l.. OBJ. Branch Camp.
Ever since l have been Commander
of the camp | have seen the necessity
of having n sick fund for the purpose of
aiding poor and needy Confederate vet
Grams. The pension laws of the State
of North Carolina forbids any Con-
federate soldier who owns $500 of real
or personal property in his own name,
his wife's name or his children's name,
from drawing a pension from the State.
And Il Confederate soldier with n house
full of children. as most of them have
is not in n condition if he happens TO
get sick. to be able to provide the neces-
sites of life. let alone the little delica-
cies needed. and Furthermore Raleigh
being the capital of the State COnfed-
crate veterans not only drift here from
Ill narts of the State, but from other
States THIS being true. those who are
without means very naturally enquire
who the commander Of the camp is. and
as we like to shift our troubles on some
body else. they are very naturally sent
to the commander Of the camp. and it is
t6 provide fund for just suCn emergen-
cics rs we'll as for help for our own
members when needed. thai the Con-
federatc Bazaar will be heid
IL OBJ. Branch is a metropolitan
camp. in other words its membership
is made ND from Confederate veterans
from all parts of the State.
II will say that there are few calls
from the members of our camp for aid.
but the camp is being constantly call
ed on for help from veterans who are
passing through the city"
