Negro Insurance Company.
The investigation into the insur-
ance frauds practiced by some OF the
negroes in Dawson against the North
Carolina Mutual and Provident AS
sociation, a negro insurance company
with headquarters in Greensboro, ~
c. reached a climax Wednesday,
when Sheriff Turner served warrants
on J. w. Hawkins and e. Z. Hill,
two negro physicians, Wilson Jones,
the colored undertaken, Prince Full
Ter. the painter, Homer Brown, the
prescription clerk of the Union Drug
Co.. a negro drug store, and Martha
Hall.
The warrants we're sworn out by
]. l.. Wheeler, state agent of the
North Carolina Mutual, with offices
in Atlanta, and he was accompanied
to Dawson by j. R. Spalding, of Ma
con, special agent of the company,
who worked up the evidence against
the accused negroes.
The defendants waived a prelimi-
nary hearing, and were placed under
bonds of 5000 each by Judge J. W..
Peddy for appearance for trial in the
city court.
The plot to rob the insurance COM
pany was deeply laid and excep-
tionally bold one, and the company
was successfully fieeced of about two
thousand dollars before suspicion
was aroused and the investigation
begun. The evidence against the ac-
cused negroes is strong, and they
are likely to have some trouble in es-
tablishing their innocence in the
courts.
Wilson Jones seems to have been
the leading conspirator and he was
beneficiary in several of the alleged
fraudulently collected policies. The
insurance company has placed one
paid policy in the hands of the Off
GERS, which was issued on the life of
Lucinda Shorter, the mother of Mar
tina Hall, who is the wife of Peter
Hall, for $500, with Wilson Jones
and Martha Hall as beneficiaries. The
proofs of death were sent in certified
to by DR.. ]. w. Hawkins as attending
physician, who claimed that she died
from the effects of catarrhal fever.
In the hands of the officers also is the
check issued to and endorsed by Will
son Jones and Martha Hall. And the
strangest thing of the whole incident
is that Lucinda Shorter, the alleged
dead woman, whom DR.. Hawkins at
tended in her last illness and who
was buried by Wilson Jones as I'M
dertaker, is not dead yet, and from
her present looks is likely to live
for some time.
DR.. Hill and Prince Fuller are
charged with fraud in connection
with the issuing of a policy on the
life of Fuller's wife, who was in the
last stages of consumption. 1t APP
pears that Fuller had DR.. Hill exam
inc another negro woman, who posed
as Fuller's wife. The Fuller woman
died in few months after the policy
was issued, and is charged that Dr.
Hill was a party to the substitution
of a healthy woman for the Fuller
woman.
Homer Brown is also charged with

His punishment was in keeping
with his expression. He was never
again allowed to see his native land.
From then on his life was spent
aboard warships in foreign waters.
He was never allowed to even hear

was allowed no books or papers from

him the news.
In all other respects he was given
the freedom of the ships. 1t was the
cruelest punishment that could be
inflicted.
His repentance was bitter. One
day, when the vessel he was on had
captured a slave ship and liberated
the prisoners he spoke of his sorrow
to young midshipman in the fol-
lowing stirring words:
"Youngster, let that show you
what it is to be without a family,
without home and without a coun-
try. If you are ever tempted to say
word or do thing that shall put
bar between you and your. family,
your home and your country, pray
God in his mercy to take you that
instant home to His own Heaven.
Stick to your family, boy. Forget
you have a self, while you do every
thing for them. Think of your home,
boy. Write and send and talk about
| 1t. Let it be nearer and dearer to
your thought the farther you have to
travel from it, and rush back to it
when you are free, as that poor black
slave is doing now. And for your
country, boy" and the words rat

dream a dream but of serving her
as she bids you, though the service
