Mechanic & Investors Union


A State institution of Raleigh, N. q.
organized May, 1893, and managed by
John G. DreWry, president, j. s. Wynne,
yice-president; Ii. S. Jerman, treasurer;
j. n. Holding, attorney, George Allen
secretary and manager. w. s. Primrose
and G. G. Latta, all of whom are direc-
tors.
This is one of the best managed and
most prosperous investment and loan
companies in the State.
The investment plan assures the mem
bers the return of all payments, togeth-
err with profit of fifty per cent in loo
months. The payment of 2 cents per
day, which is 90 cents per month. for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The Ioaning plan guarantees the re-
turn to the borrower of all his payments
less three per cent per annum ON the
amount advanced to him. Both the
investing and borrowing members are
fully protected by the guarantee fund,
which promises and agrees to mature the
stock, making the monthly payments for
the widow should death occur. This Sc
cures the home to the family without
further cost after death. For full par
ticulars read the printed matter of the
company.

COTTON.
New York. Aug. 31.-The speculative
movement in cotton futures was, taking
the day rs a whole, less active, but the
falling off in public interest was not very
marked. Liquidation of outside long ac-
counts was the feature of today's trad
ing, and the general course of prices re,
Elected inherent weakness ON the part of
widely scattered and heavy long inter
est. Every rally in prices today brought
on an avalanche of selling. The market
opened at the lowest point of the day,
steady at a decline of 6d12 points. This
break In prices was ascribed, primarily,
TO break in the Texas drought, al
though this was subsequently regarded
as a doubtful factor, nine places re-
porting rainfall of only "a trace" t.
1.44. As an actual benefit to the grow
ing cotton, this could not he said to
amount to much; as forecast of posi-
BILE col}ious rairs it received marked a.
tention, and caused good deal of sell
ing, apart from the question of receipts
which were very heavy, forecasts for the
week pointing to total movement Of TO-
600 to 10000 bales against $4,000 for the
corresponding week last year, while the
movement for today reached the heavy
total of 1892 bales against 4,13S for
the corresponding date year ago. The
disturbed condition of political affairs in
Europe was also mentioned as Il bearish
factor, although it exerted little direcr
influence Several times the market RAJ
lied sharply, but this was due to cover
ing, rather than to investment or new
speculative demand. During the after
moon sentiment was still bearish. with
expectations generally fixed for a full
response tomorrow by Liverpool to our
decline of today. But the local eontin
gent was conservative, pending further
crop accounts.
Inc market closed quiet at a net de-
cline of 8 to 10 points.

The Aetna Life'S Fifteen payment !:
Life and Endowment Policy in /.
Competition.

These policies issued by the Aetna
enables it's agents to offer strong I
inducements to prospective insur- Z
4 ants in competition with those of
: other companies. Taking the aver (
age rate OF ten leading companies
at an age of twenty-five on the \
twenty payment life plan, we find !
that the premiums average S92.63 !
I for a $4,000 policy, or $5,9o2.G0 Z
I for the twenty years. The Act I
I mas fifteen-payment life, at the {
same age, costs $297.20, or ADS Z
D for the fifteen years, the difference
in the premium for full term being Z
81, 1880, equal to a dividend of
80 per cent. on the annual pre-
l miums for the whole premium pc
riod after the first two years. The
comparison corresponds with this :
! for other ages. The simple pre- Z
J sentation of this comparison ought
} to be convincing argument when I
} clearly made, especially In view of
the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured of
the fifteen-year than ON the TWEEN
tyyear plan. The large dividend
paid by some of the companies
has long been one of the strongest
claims made by them. Adividend
of 80 per cent. deducted at the
beginning of the year has so much
to be said in its favor that the
Aetna seems clearly to be giving
points to its competitors.
Mr.. J. ID. Boushall, general agent,
Raleigh, N. c., can give further in
formation.

Sneak thieves on Tuesday night paid
another successful visit to Peckvilles s
classic precincts and. as usual, there is
no trace, with the exception of few
boot marks in the mud A horse and
wagon was used to carry the ill-gotten
booty away. At Mr.. Frank Chiver's
they pricd the lock off the chicken coop
door and secured the contents. eight
plump fowls. They then journeyed to
the barn of Asa Scott, near by. smashed
the lock and entered the barn. A COW
and a months old calf were the only
occupants. The thieves took the calf
and loading it in the wagon, made Oft.
They also smashed the lock on II. t..
Dikcman's barn, but left without Sc
curing anything. The boldness of the
thieves in driving almost to a mans
door and making off with the live stock
and not being discovered is what is
perpleXing the people in that immedi-
ate vicinity. and the question asked on
all sides is, How much longer must this
nefarious work go on before some pro-
vision is made by council for the main
tenance of night officer?
