the delivery of contrac IS Of insurance

business would be reno Ecd from the
jurisdiction of the sever bl States and
relieved not only from State regula-
ton, but from State ia cation. The
proposal is based on THE assumption
that the Supreme Court would change
its previous opinion and accept as
Interstate commerce. whatever
Congress 50 defined.
One OF these days Tie state of
North Carolina is going to be wise
enough to make insurance Il govern

may enjoy it without bS wing two or
three prices. II every. dollar paid

what is paid back in lossees by fire aud
death could be kept in North Caro-
lima. this state could ir&Eest millions
of dollars in factories and business
that now go to Connecti'3lt and New
Jersey and New York and other
States where the great insurance COM
panics are located.
This Legislature cannot make this
forward movement, but; tle matter is
one that people Will th6r51 more and
more about. with the result that North
Carolina will Go its own :insuring and
X eep its money at noma. Some con-
structive statesman viii arise who
will formulate feasible plans for a
State controlled system of insurance.
and il will mark an epoch as the
building of the North Carolina rail
road marked an epoch in, the history
of the last generation.
No great departure like that cam be
carried out In q day or al year. Until
that system ia perfected, 4 is a mat
ter of qualification to KNOW that the
North Carolina insurance companies,
strong and well managed. are getting
every year n larger share of the bust
ness. thus in part stopping the drain
upon the State.

Mr.. Vance Jackson, of kinston, in
a letter to Col. w. II. Osborne, of

Il think that the Keeley Institute

man to organize. for the very reason
that it does all that it claims TO do.
Il went to Kelley last March, and
from the time | left there untilnOW l

key. When a man asks me. about go,
ing to Kceley, / ask him if he wants
TO quit drinking. If he says, Yes ]
tell him to so rs fast as he can, for
he can quit SO easily there. A great
many men will say that they are men
enough to quit drinking without COINS
10 Kelley but they drink right on.
They will not acknowledge their weak
ness. The way to do is to put aside
such ideas, and go to Kelley and then
you will know that you are q man,
and ought to have gone long before.
You may see men that have taken the
keeley Treatment drunk, but don't let
that stop you, for they drank because
they did not want TO quit.
There are many good reasons why
man should so to Keeley. The first
being for your own souls sake and for
your familys sake.
