Strause Bros HEAVY Loss.

The large leaf tobacco factory of
Strause Bros, in Greenville, was
burned last Thursday night. Fire
supposed to have been caused by
lightning. The building was a new
one, having been erected during the
summer of last year, at cost of over
5000. 1t was fitted with the Proctor
automatic drying machine and truck
method of handling tobacco, and was
one OF the best equipped leaf factories
in the State. The machinery alone
cost about 5000. The total loss is
estimated to be about $50, 900. In
surance $23,5OO.
The Greenville Reflector speaking
Of the owners. Messrs n 2. and H.
p. Struse, says: They are Young
men of energy and fine business quail
ties, and it is hoped by all that their
factory will be rebuilt''

progressive young gentlemen sympa-
thize with them in their loss.

The Lousburg Times of last week
contains notice of the death Of Mrs
Sallie G. Marlborough, which occurred
at her home in Frnklin county Feb
ruary 18th, 1899. Deceased was
born February Goth, 1852, and
lacked but "A few days of attaining
47th year. She was married to
Robert Marlborough November 25th,
1869, and was devoted wife and
mother, Mr.. Ben jamin G. Marlborough,
one OF the popular young statesmen
at Watkins store, being her son.
The following brief tribute to Mrs.
Yarborough's memory is paid by her
pastor Rev. George B. Perry:
''She was a member of the MethO-
dist church % years. She had been
in feeble health for q years, but
this light affection has worked out
for her far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory. She has
now begun to know more and more
of this great glory. By the purity of
her life, the love and tenderness for
her husband and four children that
she leaves on the shores of times,
she has made an impression for good
that time is not sufficient to reveal.
The influence Of her life has been
indelibly stamped upon their hearts.
Her trials were great but through the
ever sustaining grace she meekly,
patiently and triumphantly endured
them all and said in her last hours
she would not live always. May the
father and children join her in the
home of the blest.h

-Messrs. James Fuselier and
Felix Olivier were arrested and
jailed by Constable Ben Bertrand
Tuesday night, under a grevious
charge. Fuselier shot and seri-
ously wounded q negro boy aged
II or Ii years, a load of bird shot
entering one side of his body, COM
ing out at the other side, making q
serious wound which may prove
fatal. They are also accused of
beating the mother when she tried
to relieve her wounded boy. The
boy is said to have been insolent
towards Mr.. Fuselier, which was
the cause of the shooting. The
details of this unfortunate affair
are conflicting, and the exact truth
will only come out when the preli.
minary examination will take place.
The fact, however, of the shooting
down of q boy twelve years old. for
his insolence, and the beating of
the mother for protecting her son
after he was short down, make the
case very serious one, if these
are really facts as reported.

AN ILLUSTRATION.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
In the last issue of The Weekly
Messenger, appeared an article re-
produced from the Washington, La,
Enterprise, in which that paper
comments on a loan Of 81, 10000
sold at premium of 60 per cent.
by our local Building and Loan
Association. The editor frames
bis figures on a maturity of nine
years. As stated lat that rate)
the borrower will pay in the sti-
pulated time $725,00 for the use
of 100000 per cent of 20 1l-8O
per aunum, as he pays yearly $780,
$3.50.
Now, the length of time it will
take q given series to mature un-
der the Gross or Net Plan, can
only be ascertained approximate
". This mode of arriving at an
approximate estimate of the rate
of progress, must be applied to
each series in a given Association
separately, and the rate of profit
regulated in accordance with the
average rate of progress ascertain
ed to each. For, an older series,
by reason of a higher svesge OF
gain in former years, might show
q higher aveage of progress TO-
wards maturity, than younger
one, which. for obvious reasons
might not be so fortunate, owing
TO q slack demand for loans, and O
lower rate of premium prevailing
during q given period; or, exactly
the reverse might be the case.
The st. Msrtinville Building &
Loan association has been selling
money regularly for the last two
and three quarter years, at pre-.
miums ranging between 25 and 81
per cent. the average being 40.
The first series: A B G and D
have realized each but a small pro.
1T, 1.-THE first year,, on account Of
expenses incurred for the ests.
blishment of the Corporation
With series E began the era fol
regular accumulations, each share
of said series realizing S16,06 from
October 1896 to December 31st
1898, and with an increase quar-.
tsrly, the disbursement per share
being $29,25. Series f 1.-TWO years
old) realizing $3.50, disburse.
ment $500, per cent: So 2l-26.
We admit that 10 per cent. is q
very high premium, although the
borrower has the privilege to re-
pay his loan at any time, thus say.
ing 10 of the premium if he re-
pays one year after, 6-8 is he does
repay two years after, and so on.
The increase, in the profits is 90
perceptible, quarterly, that the
following illustration, will give a
fair idea, in regard to the maturi-
ty of stock.
One shareholder borrowed $780,
90 at 40 per cent. premium, on
February l, 1897. He got $3.50, 90
net cash. He paid as follows:
Two years interest to February I. 1899 $500
Two years premiums to Feb. I. 1899 5000

Hence, that borrower is paying
mp to date 55,88 per year in pre-
MUM and interest, for the privi-
lege of using $780, 90 cash he got
from the Association. He is then
paying only II 77-l20 per cent. in
terest per year, and reduces his
debt gradually. And, further
more his dividend is increasing
quarterly, which will, of course,
diminish his percentage. In the
above, We have not included his.
