A BIG DEAL.
Southern Life Insurance Co.
Acquires the Sterling Cas-
ualty Co., of Columbia, S. c.

IVY VA ~OGAAAAOAIAS Ne ~
The Southern Underwater.
The largest deal affecting in
surance interests in the South |
was consummated early this
month, whereby the Southern
Life Insurance Company, of Fay
etteville, will acquire the Sterl-
ing Casualty Company, of Col
umbia, S. c., and run that COM
pany as an accident, health, liza
bility and surety branch of the
life company, whose charter pro-
vides for such lines of business.
This will make the Southern Life
the largest institution of the
kind in the South, with approx
mately the following financial
showing:
Assets, 1925, 900
Capital Stock 268, 900
Reserve 100000
Surplus to policy holders-$495, 900
The remainder of the capital
stock, $233, 900, will be sold at
once, making assets of upwards
Of 81, 900, 900 and about ST, OOO,O
insurance now in force. An office
Of issue for all branches except
life will be established at Column
bia as soon as policy forms and
rates, which are now being COM
pleted by Mr.. Walter G. Wright,
the eminent actuary of Boston,
and B. w. Lacy, Jr., the com
pany's actuary, can be arranged.
An experienced casualty under
writer will be placed in charge
of the business. A number of
applications have been filed for
the position.
1t will be recalled that the
Southern Life recently amended
it's charter so that it's policyhold-
ers will be given the benefit of
a mutual company with none of
its liabilities. That is, policy
holders will participate in all in
terest earnings above the legal
reserve rate and on all savings
in mortality. The Seminoles Sc
curities Company, which was
placing the stock for the Sterling
> Casualty Company, has met with
splendid success in it's efforts.
It was demonstrated in placing
the stock that the owners of
many cotton mills, saw-milIs and
industrial plants were DESTROYS of
subscribing for the stock of such
a company, and will carry in
surance in the company, while
many insurance agents have ap-
4 piled for agencies to represent
the now company.
Under the amalgamation plans
the returns to stockholders will
5 be materially increased in thai
d but one set of executive officers
e and administrative expenses, IL
censes, fees and so forth, will
have. to be met, instead of one
n set for each company. Likewise
the agents in many instances will
represent all branches. 1t is moi
unlikely the board of directors oil
the Southern Life will be increas
ed so as to include some Of the
financial interests of Columbia
who were represented in the
casualty branch of the business
The outlook for the new casualty
:, and accident branch of the South
5 ern Life is most fattering, while
/ the life department will receiv,
" a big impetus from the increas
ed size and prestige of the com
pany.

THE WADESBORO PLAN.
Combination Between Farmers
and Merchants to Hold Cotton.

Ansonian.
A plan has been provided by
cooperation between the business
men of WadesborO and the farm
ers to hold cotton for higher
prices. If business men and
farmers would combine as has
been done in Wadesboro there
would be no cause for such trOu-
BILE. The following is the plan:On
each bale stored the farmer re-
ceives an advance Of twenty-five
dollars in cash, and a bond from
the company that the cotton will
be fully insured and protected
from fire and theft, and in case
of loss, the farmer receives full
price for the cotton. The entire
cost to the farmer, including
storage, insurance and the use
Of the money advanced is two
dollars ($2) a bale. There is a
pretty good profit in this charge
to those who are advancing the
money, but all who desire are in
vited to go into the combination
and each one who advances
money to loan to the farm
ers, will receive his share
Of the profits on what they put
in whether it be five dollars or
five thousand. Farmers are in
vited to join in as well as mer-
chants. The plan is to help the
farmer hold his cotton.
The farmers organization say
that they believe cotton will GO
to twelve cents a pound if it is
held for three months. If it
does here is what the farmer
gains after paying the two dol
lars bale:
One five hundred pound bale
of cotton at twelve cents $50. 0C
If sold at nine cents would
bring $45. OC
Loss to farmer now SIS. 0C
If held for three months on q
payment of two dollars a bale
leaves the farmer thirteen dollars
a bale clear profit.
If at the end of three months
the farmer wants to hold the cot
ton one or more months he car
have it held at a reduced rate o.
one dollar and fifty cents fol
three months which would b
less tnan two cents a day PEI
bale, and this guarantees the
farmers against all loss.
