drawn.
Washington, June 12-The news of the
adoption of the Platt amendment by the
Cuban constitutional convention was re-
ceived with genuine qualification here.
The administration officials all along have
be accomplished when the Cubans real
lied that this government was firm in its
attitude regarding the amendment and
that its acceptance would be necessary
before the United States would consent
to withdraw its supervision from the ISL
and. Now that the Cubans have demon
strated their good faith in the United
States it Is expected that a fairly speedy
evacuation of the island win be coutn-
gent upon the establishment of a stable
government in the island. An effective po-
lice force and other measures necessary
to the preservation of quiet. good order
and sanitation are considered as essential
prerequisites in the formation of the new
government and the withdrawal of the
United States forces. One cab
met officer tonight expressed
the opinion that if che other requirements
are met our withdrawal might be accom-
plished during the summer so that Cuban
independence might be a reality by next
autumn.
Gen. Wood tonight communicated to
the War Department efficially, the fact
that the amendment hid been adopted
Wise and Patriotic, says Root.

War Elihu Root was shown the Asso-

wisest and most patriotic thing possible
for Cuba.
1T means the independence of Cuba
and all that is best and freest in Cuba will
be backed by all that is best in the United
States"

If there was ever a time when

time. The people in this section of

I have in mind a concern that en-
pl0ys a large number of hands-men,
women and children. Their wages
are very low, but they must go TO
tle store for their pay, and from ten
TO fifty per cent. Is added TO the price
Of what they buy; not one cent of
money do they get. The children
go to Sunday School and are called
on for their contributions and are
told they can set the money if they
try. Still, when they ask for a little
money On their wages, they are re-
fused. The older ones are expected
to pay the preacher and TO contribute

negro question again divide the
nation as il did in 1S56-6O? Heaven
forbid is.
The egr did not come here for

as a slave against his will. Still he
has been a wealth producer and it is
u o more than right that our race
sboHld, even at this late day, fur
nish him the means to go back to his
own native land; give him homes
and substance for a year, build him
school HOSES and maintain schools
for him five years if necessary, for
that matter. l have heard dozens
Of people in the South say they
would cheeTfully pay their share Of
soch expenses. But the nation had
part Of freeing the negro and it
SHOULD take a part now in finding
him a home, so that be may estab

Confederate soldiers, I am aware
that nv friend, DR.. Foard, was not

take oath or any other part against

UNDERGROUND" AND wild CAT"
INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Many inquiries r coming to the
Insurance Department about com-
panies that are not licensed and yet
are attempting to do business in the
State, and there is not a day that
one or more letters are not answered
giving information about them.
It is a we'll known and accepted
proposition that any company whose
officers are of such character that
they are willing to defy and evade
the laws of a State, cannot be trusted
in business. If the officers of an in
uranc company will systematically
attempt to do business in a State and
cheat the State of such licenses and
taxes as are paid by honest com
panies, then the public need not be
surprised that they r treated in
the same way. The company that
will steal from your State will de-
fraud and rob you or your wife and
children when an opportunity offers.
These companies know that a con-
tract made with them is illegal and
cannot be collected under our laws.
Is it not passing strange that many
of our people, some of whom are
good business men, will, for a small
seeming discount, take contracts
that are illegal and void under our
laws and in companies that al de-
frauding their State and have no
assets? Again, it is a question under
our law as to whether a citizen of
the State using these non licensed
companies does not render himself
liable for the taxes that should be
paid by the company.
Among these companies reported
as doing or seeking to do business in
the State are: Commonwealth In
suranoe Company, of Chicago; Com
mOnwealth Savings and Insurance
Company, of Richmond Great Brit,
ain Insurance Company Mercantile
Fire Insurance Compony, of Chicago;
Mercantile Fire and Marine, Wash
ington, D. G.. Victoria London Fire
Office, Limited Mutual Fire of Bal
timore; Mercantile Mutual Fire
Millers' Mutual Fire and other com
panies of the class known as "Mill
Mutuals :" Western Consolidated
Underwriters, OF Chicago; Triple
Link Life Insurance Company, of
Illinois Old Wayne Mutual Life, of
indianapolis, and others.
Many of these companies have no
assets or standing in their own States,
and when they do a Legitimate bust
ness, bhey have to pay taxes in their
own and other States. This Depart.
ment has collected from licensed COM
pauIes and paid into the State Treas
ury over $50, 900 since the first OF
last April, and those companies not
contributing to this fund do 1o6 de-
serve the patronage of the citizens of
North Carolina.
Printed lists of the companies
licensed by the Department. are on
file in the office Of the Clerk o.
Superior Court of each comfy and I
will take pleasure in furnishing them
TO citizens Of the State on applioa-
ton. Any information as to attempts
Of unlicensed companies to do bual-
asa in the State will be appreciated
by me. Our law requires every
