Eastern Insurance Co. Doing Well.

News comes from Washington that the
Eastern Insurance Company, the new
life insurance company established in
that progressive town, is doing large
business. A private letter to stock
holder from the officers of the company
says:
1.-The sum of $4,000,OO0 leaves this State
each year for life insurance, and not
81 100000 per annum returns. Our aim
is to keep this enormous amount in our
own State. and with the assistance of
each policy holder and our good citizens,
we will be able to do so in the near flu
ture. We give more insurance for he
same amount of money than any other
and larger cash surrender
values and paid up insurance than other
companies. In this way you can easily
see that we earn double the interest on
our investment.

To the Editor AS the time for holding
the county primaries is near, l desire to
present to the Democratic voters of
Wake county, the name of R. d. Honey
cutt as a candidate for the House OF
Representatives. Mr.. Honeycutt is
citizen of Barton's Creek township, and
the people of the northern section or
the county recognizing his many quail
fications, have induced him 60 become
candidate for this position. He is not
a self-constituted candidate has never
held an office, is a man of mature
thought, methodical, understands the
needs of the working people, is not pre-
JUDGED against legitimate industries, is
one of Wake county's best farmers, and
is one of the very best magistrates in
the county, and is thereby the better
qualified to vote intelligently in a law
making body. It can truthfully be said
in this instance. that the office is seek
ing the man and not the man the office.
Fellow Democrats. he should receive
the nomination because the majority of
the people of the northern section of
the county want him to be one of the
Representatives in the next Legislature;
and if the Democratic voters of Wake
county see fit to honor him with the
nomination, he will make faithful, con-
people.

The Situation Acute.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, July THE State De-
partment has received a cablegram from
United States Minister Bowen at Cara
cas-, stating that the Venezuelan govern
ment has notified him that President
Castro has decided to personally lead
his troops against the Revolutionary
forces in the field, and that Vice Presi-
dent Gomez has assumed charge of the
executive branch Of the government. The
prevailing view among South American
diplomats is that nothing but most
acute situation would cause President
Castro to drop the reins of government
at Caracas and take personal charge of
the army and that he is to lead a for
lorn hope. In other quarters, however,
confidence is expressed that castro will
repel the impending attack.

NEW CHURCH AT MONROE,
First Services in the Handsome New Structure
Erected by the Methodists

Especial to the News and Observer
Monroe, n. c., July THE first SER
vice in the handsome new Methodist
church in this place was held Friday
night. The service consisted of songs
of the city churches.
Saturday morning at II o'clock Bishop
A W. Wilson, of Baltimore, preached to
large congregation on the efficacy of
prayer and the love of Good and the in
terest he takes in his creatures. His
sermon was plain, simple gospel, with
now and then touch of pure eloquence.
At night Rev. w. R. Ware, of Winston,
preached Mr.. Ware was formerly pas
tor of the church, and it was during his
ministry that the movement for the new
church was begun No pastor was ever
more beloved by his people than was
Mr.. Ware by the people of Monroe, and
he is always warmly welcomed
Sunday morning att ten o'clock there
was a love feast, conducted by DR.. John
r. Brooks. Ate11 o'clock Bishop Wilson
preached again. The large house was
filled to it's utmost capacity and a grand
sermon, filled with great thoughts, in
spring men to higher and nobler pur-
poses in life, through the love of God.
was preached. All the churches of the
city united in this and all the other SER
vices of the day. The choir of this
church is noted for its singing and the
music of today was especially fine. MRS.
j. Frank Laney and Miss Carrie Stewart
presided. the former at the organ and
the latter at the piano, and the follow
ing sang: Mrs. H. r. Laney, Mrs. j. w.

In the afternoon there was a Sunday

were made by Rev. w. R. Ware and
others. A sermon at night by Dr. j. c..
Rowe marked the closing of the opening
services.
Central Methodist church, which opens
its doors for public worship with those
services, is a beautiful structure. 1t was
erected at a cost of $4,000. 1t is hand
somely furnished and the inside and
finishing work cannot be excelled The
work of erecting the new church was be-
gun a little more than two years ago.
Rev. w. M. Bagby was the pastor at that
time and still is. He has been faithful
and untiring in the work, and of course,
the success of the movement lies more
largely with him than with any one
man. Next to him comes James H. Lee,
chairman of the building committee.

Raleigh Defeats the Orphans.

Raleigh won yesterday from the form
er Wilmington team, at present the
Homeless or Orphan Club as they have
been dubbed, by score of Is to 4.
The game was characterized by the
hard hitting of both teams, but Raleigh
was more fortunate in punching her hits,
and Wilmington was crippled by the alb
sence of some of the former team.
There were several sensational plays
that set the hair of the spectators on
end and added interest in what seemed
a slugging match. Curran, Raleigh S
centerfelder, made beautiful one hand
catch of drive that looked good for
three bases, and SOffel made a magnifi-
cent running catch of line drive from
Shermans bat. Soffel Kahn and Childs
had on their batting clothes proper,
Kahn getting three hits out of four times
up, Soffel four hits out of five times up,
and Childs three hits out of three times
up. White batted a home run in the
second inning, and Harris lined out one
in the seventh.
A brief story of the run getting follows:
In the first inning after the so-called
Orphans had been retired in one, two
three order. Ferris walked, Soffel hit,
Kahn hit and Ferris scored. Rollins hit
to left field and Soffel and Kahn scored.
Hook hit to second base and while he
was retired, Rollins scored.
The Homeless ones scored two runs in
the second inning on hits by Sherman
and Chambers and a two Dagger by
Brenig. White for Raleigh knocked a
home run down in Stanleys old territory
during the second inning but his was
the only score.
There were no runs for the Orphans
In the third inning, but Raleigh squeezed
four men across the rubber by timely
hitting and good base running. A most
sensational feature, namely, that of Pat
Rollins stealing third base, took place in
this inning. 1t seems that some one had
insinuated to Patrick their unbelief in
his sprinting ability and just to show
that he was lightning personified on his
feet, h. Rollins made a daring run and
a beautiful slide, that almost took the
breath of the spectators. After a few
graceful bows in acknowledgement of the
applause the game was allowed to con-
tinue.
Raleigh made two more runs in the
fourth inning and four others in the fifth,
tuted in the box for Krause, pitched
beautiful ball and allowed no more
scoring. The Orphans third run came in
the fifth inning from a hit by Krause and
a two Dagger by Holland. The last run
of the game was 2 long drive by Harris
in the seventh inning that cleared the
race track fence and bounded out of
reach of the left felder's hands until
the big first baseman had crossed the
rubber. The remaining two innings were
full of snappy ball playing, neither side
getting beyond first base.
The Orphans will be strengthened to-
day by the addition of some good play
ers. In this emergency in the league
the friends of base ball in Raleigh
should attend these games and aid by
their admission fees in holding the
league together.

TWO SPLENDID DIsCOURSEs
BY REV. HAMPDEN DU BOSE
The Noted Presbyterian Missionary Who Has
Done Great Work in China Was Heard
Here on Sunday.

Notwithstanding the heat, DR.. DuBose,
the distinguished missionary who has Ia
bored many years in China, addressed
Two very fine congregations in the Pres
byterian church on Sunday.
The sermon in the morning was based
on the text "Other seventy Also.
After some remarks setting forth the
present financial condition of the foreign
mission work in his own church, DR.. Du-
Bose launched forth upon a most eloquent
and fervid discussion of the Saviour S
enlarged views of the scope of the gos-
pei and of the urgent call for advance
ment in propagating it. The obstacles in
the way of the work, the awful need OF
it, and the solemn obligation upon the
church to send forth more laborers were
all presented in rapid and burning SEN
fences: and the final appeal was simply
thrilling. No report can do justice to
the sermon because the whole person
atty of the speaker was in it.
At night, the discourse was upon the
Martyrs of Jesus
The subject gave a fine opportunity to
show the various elements in the origin
Of the Boxer troubles and, after this, the
vivid description OF the conflict and the
account of heroic behavior of the native
martyrs The subject gave fine OPP
portunity and it was used to greatest ad-
vantage.
Personally, DR.. DuBose is tail and APP
parently very strong. In conversation
he is as informal and as merry as a
Child. His whole manner is that OF in
tense earnestness and good cheer. His
visit will long be remembered. 1t was
very hot Chats the wordD in the after
noon. but the talk to the children was
as good in it's way as were the sermons
