DESTROYED
THE Still
YOUNG GIRLS SCHEME TO Pre-.
VENT TROUBLE FOR Her
FATHER and BROTHERS
INSURANCE COMPANIES
(By w. J. Martin.l


Raleigh, n. c., Nov. I'm connec
ton with the Moore county fair just
closed at Carthage there comes a hu
man interest story that is vOuched for
in the amplest sort of way. The
daughter of a well known farmer had
for a long while protested to him
against his operating a blockade dis
tillery and the old man persisted.
Revenue officers had never 'trapp-
ed" him, but the daughter who has
developed into young womanhood,
lived in constant dread of an invasion
by officers of late that would send
her father to prison and bring dis
grace on the family. She induced the
whole family to make plans for spend
ing day at the county fair at Car
thage and then suddenly persisted
in excuses for not going herself. She
was left at home for the day and
stole down to the blockade still and
cut 1t up as completely as any rev.
enue officer could do it and when the
father and brothers came from the
fair and found their distillery wreck
ed they were led to believe that the
revenue officers did it and the of
ficers who have heard of the affair
are seeking to keep the father in ig-
norance of the part his daughter had
she is understood to be striving to
keep members of her family from re-
neWed violation of the revenue laws.
State Commissioner of Insurance.
James K. Young, is sending into every
part of the State renewed warnings
as to the operation of unlicensed COM
pan1es in North Carolina and the
dangers of losses in premium pay
ments and in claims that may devel-
op through fires in patronizing un-
licensed companies that cannot be
sued in the courts of the State for
any failure to comply with their con-
tracts. The commissioner is also
sending out summaries of the State
laws as to requirements for insurance
agents and the transaction of busi-
ness through them when dueIy licens-
ed by the State. The circulars treat
nonresident and resident agents and
their regulation and all the phases
OF their business relations with in
surers.
There are railroad prognosticators
IN Raleigh who believe that, although
President Jno. r. Mills and his as
sociates in various railroad enter
prises refuse to affirm or delay, that
there is movement in the making
for the ultimate establishment of a
through service between Raleigh and
Sparta, Allegheny county and most
probably extend on into Virginia for
most important connection with
the Norfolk & Western. Mr. Mills
ana his associates are now building
roads to Elkin to Sparta and Lilling-
ton to Sanford and by connecting UP
other links between Winston-Salem
and E1kin, Winston-Salem and Thorn
asville. via High Point, and one OF
two other links of only a few miles
tnere could be through run to Raj
e1gh via Ellington, Sanford and Troy
Denton, Thomasville, Winston-Salem
Elkin to Sparta and then there could
be the westward extension into Vir
g1nia. Reports to the effect that this
is a well defined plan and that a re
ported negotiation for the Durham
and Charlotte road which would have
20 become a part of the 1ine is
part OF this plan, are credited b.
many here. 1t would be a great factor
Tor developing wide and at presen
largely isolated section of the State
Within the next day or two there
VIII be an award of the contract fo1
