Joe Persons Remedy.

has been real blessing to our home, and
while it is not king cure-all'" as some
one quantity puts it, it is a wonderful
medicine In 1901 there was an epidemic
of typhoid fever in this village-two of
our boys (aged s and 8 years respectively
were stricken. We gave the Remedy
three times daily, doubling or trebling
the dose when the temperature went be-
low normal No other stimulant was used.
Patients were dieted and nursed carefully,
and though one of them was very sick,
physician was called in only four times
in the fourteen weeks. The after effect
was splendid, each patient rapidly gained
strength and within two weeks after leav-
ing his cot, was able to go to the Sunday
school We owe much to Mrs Joe Persons
Remedy.
About four years ago scrofulitis devel-
oped in one of our children (neither of the
above). The child's life was despaired of
for long while, the mere touching of the
affected limb producing agony. After four
months of lowering, apparently over the
brink of the grave, we began to use Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy with the consent of
our physician. Slowly the blood began
to get purer, in four months a lump as
large as an egg passed down the leg, stop
ping above the knee. The doctor lanced
the place, then came no more. This open
ing remained for two years, during which
time both Wash and Remedy were daily
used, the boy growing hearty and healthy.
At the end of this time he began to try
to walk Walked on ''all fours' for
year, then on his feet for the past year.
But he had grown crooked-pitifully so.
Had him examined by one of Richmond.
Vas best physicians, who said he was
IN splendid condition, and would only
need mechanical treatment Until 1 get
HIM straight continue to give him the
medicine he has been taking" This was
done, and in January the little fellow went
to the Retreat for the sick, Richmond,
Va, for this mechanical treatment. In
April he returned to Hasty straight In
all these years not one drop of medicine
except Mrs Joe Persons Remedy AS
blood purifier its value is Tin my opinion)
priceless. l cannot, in view of all it has
done for us, withhold this testimony.

The Horse That Pulls the
PlOW Should Have the
a1i Fodder.

The Life Department of the Southern
Lean and Trust Company, of Greensboro,
n. c., presents to those who regularly
or occasionally engage in soliciting life
insurance some points worth considering
In its agency compensation it will be
the policy of the company to keep in close
touch with the producer, believing that
1.-THE fodder should go to the horse that
draws the plow." Each agent OF the COM
pany will hold his contract and commits
sion direct with the company and not
through the intervention of general agents
or other middlemen. In this way the re-
newal commissions will be paid to the So
hcltors, to the men who do the work.
to the men upon whom the company
must rely for its growth and expansion.
AS occasion demands salaried supervisors
or field men will appointed from the
agency ranks of the company.
There is no more honorable vocation
than that of the life insurance solicitor
and none more remunerative to the man
who must begin his business career with
out capital. 1t is a business in which the
opportunities for honorable promotion af-
ford constant incentive to successful eff
fort. There are great many men of
ability who are having a hand to mouth
struggle and wearing themselves out in
the professions who could find congenial
work, success and competence in the
field of life insurance.
In point of organization the Southern
Loan and Trust Company is a strong
company having a paid up capital of
100000 and is an old established finan-
cial institution with large and infuen-
tial clientage and notably successful bus,
mess. The premium rates, while lower
than those charged by other companies.
are fully adequate and have been prepared
by such reputable authority that they will
go unchallenged and unquestioned. They
are not provided with any loading for
jack-o-lantern dividends but are rock bot
tom Protection Rates" averaging from
twenty-five per cent to thirty per cent less
than the dividend rates of other COM
panies, difference which can not be offset
by the dividends of any company.
The officers of the company will be glad
to confer with any who think of en-
barking in the business of soliciting life
insurance and to show its rates and CON
tracts to any who are already engaged
in the business and who would care to
investigate its plans.

home beyond our borders! Shan tins
teeming population of blacks forever be
confined to the South3
Seward and Lincoln said there was an
irrepressible conflict between free and
slave labor. There is always an irrepres-
sible conflict between laborers engaged In
the same work. and as the struggle for
existence becomes fiercer, with the IN
crease of population, the ominous signs OF
an industrial conflict along the line OF
races become pregnant with great and
important events.
The North and West are now lntoller
ant of the negro, because the workmen
there do not propose that the negroes shall
take bread out of their mouths. In In
diana and Illinois negroes are not allowed
to do any work which any white man
wants. In Kansas the cry was raised that
no negroes should be allowed to save the
wheat in danger of rotting in the fields.
Those are mere illustrations of feeling
that pervades the North, and which. IT
the passage of time will become more
bitter and intense.
In view of the future increase of the
negro race, what should be the position
of the South in regard to the right of the
negro to make his home at the North and
to seek happiness and prosperity-to gain
a livelihood there? l deprecate all talk
among ourselves in the way of holding the
negro up as an denomination. thus fost-
ering and intensifying race antagonism.
There are bad negroes, as well. as there
are very bad white men, but we do not
condem the white race on account of our
white criminal class, neither should we IN
he denim
citation, because of its criminals. BY no
means should we contribute to infame
the Northern mind against that race. BY
no means should we feel or manifest sym
pathy in the demonstrations of the North,
ern people against honest and law-abidlng
negroes who choose to seek homes at the
North and West.
How far we should go in caring for the
negroes, in protecting him and in seeking
to secure happiness and prosperity for the
race, is a question, but there can be no
question that we ought not to assent to
the proposition that the negroes of the
South are forever to be restricted to our
territory Let the waters of the black
stream broaden out and extend into other
communities.
North Carolina it is true, is not so great
ly interested in this matter as the States
to the South, for our negro population is
increasing, but slowly. while, the fever of
immigration being checked, our white por-
ulation is multiplying more rapidly than
ever.
The child born today will live to see
ten times as many whites as negroes IN
our State, but population will then be very
dense, and the struggle for existence will
be fierce.
Further to the South, the negroes will
be relatively more numerous, and the cor
ditions will be abominable. 1t will pres
ent a Southern question of over-weening
Importance, and the people of North Car
DINA, although relatively exempt from the
evil, win naturally be involved, for we of
the South will forever be allied by the
dearest ties with the whites of the more
Southern communities S. A. ASHE.

the company which withdrew, because of
the Craig Law, has resumed business in

decided unconstitutional by the United

This company prosecutes only absolute,
pure legitimate life insurance, in its simp-
lest form, aiming to give absolute family
protection with certainty and equity at
the lowest attainable cost. 1t is backed
by financial strength unsurpassed offer
