THERE is more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 5.-There
is' a crisis in the British Columbian
cabinet, principally due to disastrous
results of obnoxious alien legislation,
against Americans especially, with ref
erence to mining operations at Atlin.
Premier Semli demands the resigna-
ton of Fighting Joe" Martin, attorney
general, who championed the legisla-
ton against Americans. He charges
Martin with neglecting his duties in
office, of giving away government Sc
crets, and OF bringing the government
into dsrepute. Martin refuses to re-
sign. A general breaking up of the
government is likely to result.

THE AETNA LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

In commenting upon the Annual State
ment of the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany of Hartford, Connecticut. which
appears in another column it is worthy
Of note that, while there were such mark
ed gains in all essential particulars, the
total business was conducted at a per-
centage of cost no greater than in pre-
yious years. There must be q cause
a good and sufficient reason, for the
remarkable fact that the stormy and
war-like year of 1898 was the most
prosperous and successful one III the his
tory of the Aetna Life. There must be
some logical explanation of the fact that
last year the Aetna compassed results
exceeding those of any year through
which it has come: Increasing its Assets
over S2.642, 10000: its Surplus over
$780,. 10000; and it's Total Insurance in
Force over S1o, 40S. 9S4. 90. The Total
Income. of $S,S63, $500. the largest in
its history, and over S366343 larger
than it was in 1897, makes this great
Life and Accident Insurance Company
the largest and strongest corporation Of
its kind in the New England States.
We think it must be apparent to the
sincere inquirer that these surprising
results are due to the strong, steady
conservative policy of the cOmpany's
management-to the entire absence of
boom or racing" tactics. and the
substitution therefor of steady, progress
sive systematic effort-to wise campaign
ing and cautious fnanciering. To every
gain that this great Company has made.
it is justly entitled: and. truly may it be
recorded, that its position has been hon
orably and faithfully won.
Mr.. J. d. Boushall of Raleigh, is
the State agent of this old and reliable
company, which has for many years
done a large business in North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Boushall has shown himself
to be a superior life insurance manager.
and under his direction the business Of
the Aetna has steadily grown. 1t Of
fers special advantages to good agents
who desire to make money soliciting in

| The fifth annual meeting Of one of
Raleighs prosperous financial companies
The Mechanics and Investors Union
was held last evening. \ report was
made TO the stockholders of the work
/ of the past year. that was gratifying
and satisfactory This company was
organized by Il number Of our business
| men in 1893. on Il plan that would com
| ply with the laws of North Carolina,
giving an opportunity to any citizen Of
the State to make monthly payments
or deposits for Il period of Onc:hundred
months, at which time the deposits will
be returned TO the holder Of the stock,
| together with profit of fifty per cent.
The company does not permit with
drawals on notice, which plan has been
the ruin Of so many institutions of this
kind, but agree TO advance on the stock
in sums of $50, and multiply all that
has been paid to the loan fund. This
plan insures permanence of the Organi2a-
ton. The Oldest shares of stock are
reported as being worth 500, which is a
handsome profit over the amount that
has been paid in The business done
last year was more than equal to that
of 1896 and 1897 combined, both ill
sale of new stock and of loans made.
During the past year twenty-seven
real estate Loans have been made in
about a dozen different towns and cities
of the State. This means the erection
of many new buildings.
The plan of making loans seems TO
be very liberal and equitable, and is
about as follows A man who borrows
1000, giving real estate security, will
at the end of ono hundred months re-
ceive the cancelled mortgage and $1,000
in cash making $4,000. For this trans
action he viii pay $22.75 per mon,h,
which is 8 per cent per annum on the
amount advanced, or per cent per all
mum for the full amount, one half the
time, with liberal provisions in case of
death.
The old board Of directors and officers
were elected: John C. Drewry, preSi-
dent: J. S. Wynne, vice-president; b. s.
Jerman, treasurer: George Allen, secre-
tary; j. Y. Holding, attorney; c. G.
Latta and w. s. Primrose. All are
directors.
The following action was taken in re-
gard to further sale of full paid coupon
stock-a premium of two dollars pei
share will be added to present price,
making price SIT. at which price only
a moderate number of SHARES viii be
sold.
The securities of the company which
are notes and mortgages on real estate
are kept on special deposit at the Farm
ers and Commercial Bank for the pro-
lection and final payment of the money.
Raleigh should have several companies
of this kind, and this one should again
double it's business during the year 1899.
Every young man in the city will be
benefited by owning some of the stock.

THE PUBLIC ROAD QUESTION.
An Able Lecture by Prof. J. A. Holmes
Last Night.

The Hall of the House of Representa-
tives was filled by an apprcciative au-
dience last night to listen to the adj
mirable address of Prof. ]. A. Holmes,
of the Geological Survey. The subject
of the address was the Resources of
North Carolina as affected by the Public
Road Problem. The lecture was Illus
tFated throughout by stereoptican views
from all sections of the State, showing
the industries, and roads-goOd and

The address was delivered at the in
vitation of members Of the Legislature.
and those who were present felt deep
interest in what was said and shown.
The illustrations showed what a rich
and diversified forestry and climate the
State possesses.
The question of road building was dis
cussed in all its various features. and
from practical standpoint Prof.
Holmes has given tho subject great
study and has the facts and figures
which are presented in striking man
ner The cost of road building in the
various sections OF the State was shown.
and gave some interesting figures as to
what could be accomplished by taxa
ton ana systematic work.
The question of good roads and ma
cadamiZed road AT that. is of vital inn
portance to the State. 1t is a question
which has already been too long de
layed, and it is causing the loss of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
to the State. Prof Holmes well said
the State is too poor not to have good
roads. Good roads are Il necessity and
the matter should not longer be rele-
gated. The Legislature should deal lib
orally with the question and see that the
State does not suffer longer from the
bad roads which abound.
Prof. Holmes is doing splendid service
in trying to secure a system of good
roads for the State. Nothing would add
more TO it's prosperity than a system
OF excellent roads. The counties which
have taxed themselves and established
macadamized roads are the ones that
are the more anxious to extend the
good work. They have seen the prac-
teal benefits derived therefrom, and find
il is cheaper to pay moderate tax than
to suffer loss by bad roads.
