wants at public expense and a large
part of bad law-making is the result
of the unjustifiable favors which one
Internationally kind-hearted states
man extends to another.
1t is, of course, a mean soul which is
not wamned by generosity and benev-
olence and the expression thrOue h
such acts of the larger humanities In
comparison with true generosity, JUS
tice seems meagre and mean, as the
cold working of the intellect rather
than the warm pulsation of the heart.
Justice, mere justice, never satisfies.
Aristides the Just was killed by the
Greeks, not because he was lust. but
because he was nothing but just. From
fibre like his heroes are not made.
The natural man much prefers Robin
Hood. Without generosity the moral
world seems dull, gray, cold and con-
ventional 1t lacks sap and vitality,
and the imagination is not touched.
But, after all, justice is the rock on
which alone generosity can safely
build, and when it seeks some other
foundation, it is the scriptural house
built on the sand, and like it cannot
endure.

CROWD OUT NEGROES.
Only Two Yankee Towns Refuse TO
Let Negroes Own Land

1t NAV be a surprise to some to
know that negroes are not permitted
to live In Southern Pines and Pine
hurst This may seem a little strange,
when it is remembered that these two
towns are composed almost exclusively
of northern people. They come south
with the idea that the negro is OPP
pressed by his white neighbor. but
they are not here long before they lose
all patience with them. They know
very little about the negro and it seems
that they can never understand him.
Two negroes recently bought property
at Southern Pines and planned to
erect residences for themselves and
their families for immediate occupan-
cy. There was q howl and a petition
signed by twenty of the citizens ana
property holders of Southern Pines.
was presented in which they described
the proposed acts of the Negroes and
stated without beating about the bush
that 1--WE believe that they can truly
be declared public nuisances. and that
they will initiate against the best
interests of the town and its future
government By permitting these
buildings to be erected and occupied
by their owners and others whom they
will induce to occupy them, the prop
erty owned by the citizens of that
section of the town will be made to
greatly depreciate in volue and the loss
in assessed valuation thereby Will be
greater to the town than can possibly
be gained by permitting them to be
built" The colored property owners,
both preachers, acted very sensible in
the matter. They addressed a letter
to the mayor i'm which they stated
that "it is not our wish to thrust our
selves as unwelcome citizens upon the
town. and, under existing conditions.

urgent need for a strong, vrile, de-
cent and aggressive Republican party

glad to see North Cardinals greatest

evil and other sins. and leave all the
fighting for the religious papers. Now

regret at the shocking tragedies grow
ing out of the social evil, but few
of them make a straight out and out
fight against it and demand the en-
forcement of the law. The News and

the mask from rotten conditions and
boldly demands that law, order and

Mr.. Carey J. Hunter, State Agent, the

pany, Raleigh. n. C.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your
letter enclosing your company S
check dated June IA, 1905. for $5,-
coo in full settlement of two policies
(Nos. 21832S-9) for $4,000 each, on

pany for the very prompt payment of
this claim.
/ know my husband appreciated
your company most highly and, on re-
viewing the experience of these poll
els. | want to express my approval of
this kind of insurance. His $1,000 in
surance was issued in 1901, and on the
Prepayment life plan. He paid S424. 40
each the first and second years, being
81 years old when he insured, and the
third premium was $424.40, less the
cash dividend of $S8.56, or over %
per cent. of the premium. The fourth
premium was $424.40, less the cash
dividend of $96.64, or over % IL per
cent. of the premium. The fifth prem
ium was $424.40, less the cash divi-
dend of $104.08 or over "a IL per
cent. of the premium. He had to pay
TINS year only $3l9.60 instead OF
$424.40.
l am also informed that in Janu
airy. 1906, the company will pay me
another cash dividend, and that still
another cash dividend will be paid IN
January, 1907. | must say this is a
surprise to me, and | want to COM
mend the Union Central for the large
dividends paid in cash annually, and
for the extreme fairness of the com
pany at all points Surely the Union
Central is the policy-holders' company.
Respectfully yours,

Greatly Damaged.
(Tarboro Southerner.)

Reports from the hail district show
that the first reports of damage were
not oVerdrawn. Ex-Sheriff Knight says
that his cotton appears to have been
damaged at least a half, but with ar
unusually late fall, the damage may
be made up. His neighbors on the Best
and Porter farms, he says suffered
more than he did. Much of their
cotton was actually killed. Where the
stalks were not killed they will sucker
and grow again, and with a late rail-
may make a fair crop.
This is a possibility, but instances
where fair crops have been made al
ter late June halls are very rare.
DR.. M. b. Pitt and r. w. Reasons
were also much damaged.
