Van Lindley, p. II. Hanes, John w. Fries,
William A. Blair, Lee H. Battle, w. S.
Thomson, E. Colwell, Jr.. J. w. Scott and
J. w. Hanes. These directors are men
who are we'll known in North Carolina
for their strength of character, recog
nized business ability and success as
financiers. They are, men of ripe exper-
fence in business affairs, having originat-
ed and carried to success large financial
and industrial enterprises in this State.
They saw the need of a strong safe life
insurance company in North Carolina and
in the South and bright future for such
company. They have undertaken to
supply this need, to build up life in
surance company that North Carolinians
will point to with pride.
Already the success of this company is
assured: for these enterprising men have
the confidence of the people, as is shown
by the fact that, they have placed one
and half millions of insurance during
the first year on the lives of some of the
most successful business and professional
men in North Carolina. Only three other
companies doing business in the State
have placed as much insurance in North
Carolina during the same time. This is far
beyond the expectation of the originators
of the company. Had they done half so
we'll they would have been gratifed.
$780, 600 DEPOSITED WITH THE IN
SURANCE COMMISSIONER.
They have just deposited with the In

500, 900 to guarantee every contract of in
surance and to enable them to meet the
requirements for entering other States.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The result Of the election through
out the country is somewhat a disap-
pointment to those who had hoped for
democratic success, though it proves
that the democracy is getting mmto-
gether, and argues we'll for us in
1904. From the reports it appears
that the republicans will have a
majority of about twenty in the fifty
eighth congress, while the senate will
be republican by about sixteen.
Under the twelfth census rapport
ionment the house has a membership
of 1856, while fthe present house has
357, with q republican majority of
about forty two.
The present senate has fifty four
republicans and thirty four democrats,
with two vacancies from Delaware.
The chances are favorable to reduc-
ton of this republican majority to
about sixteen.
The southern states with the excep-
tion of West Virginia, is practically
solid for the democracy.
New York, from which much was
expected, remains in the republican,
column, electing its governor by about
$4,000 majority, though it elected
nineteen democrats to congress tC
eighteen republicans.
We have made gains in the east an6
the west; small It's true, but a care
ful survey of the situation shows {
reawakening of democracy, which
bades good hereafter, SO that really
there is no cause for disappointment
rather we should be encouraged tt
make better fight in 1904
The lines are drawn, and sethe con
test will be fought out ION the tariff
and the trusts. which will be pregnant
issues then as now.
The American people cannot an(

publicans are fostering both at the ex
pense OF the common people, and vii
not fail to see. through the flimsy pre-
text of Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers
in their pretended efforts at revising
the tariff or curbing the trusts.
With a united democracy, a ring
ing platform, and bold aggressive
leader, we believe the democracy viii

A MOMENTOUS QUESTION.
One That Should be Thoroughly
COMPOUNDED,

Only few months now remain
until the selecting of county Off
Gals generally will be at hand, and
the citizens of the counties all
throughout the State should take
this matter into consideration.
They should see that only the
best qualified citizens should enter
the race for office to govern the
county affairs for the ensuing
term while the State is on such a
wave of prosperity. Never before
in the history-of the country have
statistics registered such an in
creace in wealth of the State of
Mississippi, and now, while every
thing is in such prosperous mood,
let those of each county strenuous
ly advocate for their county officials
only those who have the moral
characters and integrity to stand
the test. They should put stress
upon the illiterate aspirants and
scorn and condemn the man with
the affluvious breath of the bung of
a whiskey barrel, land make plainly
known to him that he is not needed
in the political ruling of comfy
affairs, The time has since passed
when the affectionate, policy-forged
grasp of the conceited candidate
with flask of the ''red-eye demon"
can induce flocks of the .county's
best citizens to- 1.-The polls to mark
the "X' opposite his came, and
the candidate in the next campaign
who attempts the audacity to resort
to such Inscriptions means of sup
port will not only render himself
unpopular, but rather, will throw
his support to his opponent, and
thus come up in the rear procession
himself. The flask and the warm
grasp have seen their better days.
and the leading citizens have come
to the determination that they will
cooperate. and no longr submit to
such, but will support only the as
pirant of good, moral standing and
qualification sufficient to discharge
his duties as they should be. More
especially should this matter be
considered and aggitated by the cit
liens of Southeast Mississippi as its
valuation has so rapidly increased
that it should secure sthe most eff

should intlligent citizens of a coun-
