said that Dispatch stock could be

Sommers understood Carter or

those naughty words. A man
here who owns stock would not
only sell it at ten cents on the
dollar, but would pay some re-
sponsible nan to take it if
he would allow it to
be transferred to him. Mr..
Carter was doubtless earnest in
his utterance; but he does not
know the opinion Of all the stock

INSURANCE COMPANIES.

At this time we have no idea that
the insurance companies doing
bu siness here will be molested.
Test cases have been made at
other places which will be taken
to the Court Of Appeals, and it is
useless to cumber our court rec
ords with these cases when it is
not known what the results will
be, If the Court of Appeals is ad-
verse to the insurance companies
methods, then the companies will
either, comply with the law, as
construed by the courts, or retire
from the State. To take the mat
ter up now might prove an incur
renee of an unnecessary expense.
