Churches.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, n. c., Sept. 22.-An or
ganization of the Retail Clerks was
formed last night to be known as the
Retail Clerks Protective Association, No
e34. 1t is organized for the general bet
terment of the retail clerks and will be
a social as well as business organization.
These officers were elected: T. A. Walk
er, president; w. A. Mcknight, vice.
president; S. G. Hodgin, financial secre-
tary; w. j. Hartsook, recording and cor
responding secretary.
The organization started last night with
thirty seven members. The clerks start out
with the support of the majority of the
leading business men of the city and also
with the aid of the local labor unions
At called session of the board of al
dermen last night, Mayor Osborn was
named as committee of one to take
charge of the campaign for the proposed
bend issue. The board of aldermen, as
unit, are in favor OF the election.
1t was decided sometime ago to vote
on a S250,000 bond issue, and the election
is called for October 9Th. One hundred
thousand dollars of the bonds to be used
for water purposes, $4,000 for streets,
se5 900 has just been expended on the
city sewer system and the work now is
only fairly begun. The 100000 for water
purposes is not needed at present but
those who have charge of the city's af-
fairs wish to be in readiness to use the
money to get sufficient supply of water
when 1t becomes necessary. There has
been much apathy in regard to the cleo
ton, but it is thought that as soon as
the neople are informed of its inheritance
to the city, there will be no trouble in
getting enough of the qualified voters to
go to the polls to carry it. So far, no

late husband, Andra O'Neal had in your

My husband took out this policy in your
company on July 1st of this year. He
had paid only $3.50, that being the amount
for the first quarter of the year My hlrs-
band died on Sept. 18th, of typhoid fever,
having been insured two months and elev-
en- days; and 1 have today received check
for $4,000 in full settlement Of the policy
just three days after his death. No com
pany could be more prompt or courteous
in the settlement of claim than you have
been.
Again thanking you most heartily, and
wishing you unbounded success, am very
gratefully
Yours,
MRS. FLORENCE O'NEAL.
