Cervera.
Charlotte Observer

tuuilOttc 'DseINtI
Americans can afford to stand un-
covered at the grave of Admiral Ger
vera. He was civilizing force on
the Spanish side during our little
brush in Cuba and there can be no
doubt that through his influence
many atrocities of war, inbred in the
Spaniards, were curbed. Our pris-
oners that fell into Spanish hands
might not have been treated as pris-
oners of war, but for the high ideals
of Cervera as a commander. The
rescue, or capture, of HObsOn, and
his companions, was accomplished by
a party of which Admiral Cervera
was the leader, and Hobson's only
insignia of rank, a belt and buckle,
was recognized by the Spanish COM
mander, who gave his prisoners the
attention and treatment accorded by
the rules of civilized warfare. 1t was
reported that Cervera had placed
them in Moro Castle, so that, she'll
ing that fertilization, the Americans
would be firing upon their own men.
but after the war was over, it devel-
oped that the prisoners had never
been inside OF Moro, but had been
'entertained' in Cervera' S own quar-
tiers in Santiago. When Cervera sur
rendered it was with the grace OF a
commander who recognized the inev-
liable and bowed to it. His conduct
as prisoner of war won for him the
respect of all the American officers
and OF the Government, as a whole.
His gallMtry was but ill-requited by
his own people. but through it other
nations were moved to view the gov
eminent he served through kindlier
eyes and with softened emotions.

Highly Gratifying to Policy

| Special to Wilmington Star
Fayetteville. n. C., April 4.-Today
| was consumated one of the most i'm
portant deals that has ever occurred
| in the annals of Southern insurance.
| The Jefferson Standard Life lnsur-
ance Company, OF Raleigh, n. e., came
to the rescue of the policybolders OF
the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany of FAYETTEVILLE and guaranteed
to them that their insurance would
be protected by the large assets OF
the Jefferson.
1t has been known for some time
that the Southern Life would rein
sure it's policies, several fiattering Of
fers were made by large companies
throughout the country to obtain
this business but the directors of the
company looking to the interest OF
the policyholders and knowing the
strength and standing of the Jeffer-
son selected it after mature delibera-
ton.
In effecting this reinsurance and
protecting the policyholders, the JET
ferson Standard Life Insurance Com
pany is in no way directly or Indirect
~ connected with any transaction OF

of the Southern Life Insurance Com
pauy are to be congratulated upon
their. good fortune in having their
insurance policies guaranteed by the

est il not the strongest life insurance
company South OF the Mason and

in America 1t has a surplus to
policyholders of nearlyhalf a million
dollars 1t is we'll managed, con-
sentative and is backed by some of
the most prominent financiers in the
South.
The officers of the Jefferson are

the transfer OF the business. The re-
insurance agreement was fully APP

of the State was on the scene of ac-
ton to see that the policyholders'

will it is understood remain with the
Jefferson. Many of the general agents
and field managers OF the Southern
Life attended the meeting and urged
reinsurance with the Jefferson know
ing that the interests of the policy
holders would be fully protected
thereby.
The citizens of Fayetteville while

Prison Board Cuts Salaries.
Raleigh Times. 18th.

Raie1gh Times, 9TH.
After long elaboration yesterday
the board of directors of the State
prison decided to reduce the salaries
of the prison officials, thus begin
ming their administration with de-
crease of operating expenses, begin
ming at the top. That the new board
intends to see to it that prison affairs
are economically administered seems
evident from this move and from the
earnest attention each member of the
board is giving to every detail of the
management of the prison.
Superintendent J. J. Laughing
house has assumed control. Ex-
Superintendent j. s. Mann left yester-
day for his home in Hyde county.
The new superintendent can only
hope to equal the record made by his
predecessor. 1t is not thought pos
sible that any man can surpass it. A
few of the financial achievements of
ex-Superintendent Mann are as fol-
lows:
He has paid all rewards for escapes
out of prison funds. Under RepubIi-
canism these were paid by the State
and amounted to about $4,000 per
year. He has increased the salaries
OF employees Guards from SIS per
month to $25; farm supervisors from
$50 and $50 to 500; and others in
proportion.
In 1906 the prison paid $6,5S4O7
for paving the walks of the capitol
square.
In 1907 the prison paid to the gen.
eral fund OF the state treasury $175,-
600, and during 1907 and 1908 it
paid for the; support of the hospital
for the dangerous insane $4,000,
making total previously paid from
the earnings Of the prison to the Use
OF the State of $19O,7S4O7. This.
added to the balance on hand Deem
Der 81, 1908. would make the sum
S345, 400. Deducting from this 500
GILL. which was the net balance
received from the management of the
prison under Governor RusselI's ad-
ministration, the prison had left

| the salary OF the superintendent from
$4,000 to $500; the salary OF the
clerk from $4,000 to $500 The
salary of the warden, which is 800
and oil the prison physician, which is
| $40, WAS not changed.
| Mr.. I. 2. Sale, sanitary inspector
OF this city, who is slated for the po

of warden was deferred by the board
and Captain Fleming will serve unit
his successor is elected.
