his credit is involved that is If he
owes any money or has a great deal
outside of his business on which his
creditors can rely of he should be
swept by fire.
Speaking directly of the fire in
surance companies he said that the
fire companies were capitalized at
$3.50, 100000 and had accumulated
assets of two billions of dollars,
and it was perfectly natural for
you to ask why so much resources
behind the business. He explained
that the fire insurance business re-
quired more money to handle
it than any other, on account of the
great risk involved. The San Fran
cisco fire and earthquake wiped
out the profits and surplus of years,
ard it was impossible to tell when
great casualties like this would again
occur. ;,
Last year the loss in the United
States was unusually high approx
mately $317, 100000. This was the
largest year since the San Francis
CO fire and earthquake when the loss
in America was $459, 100000. 1t was
s5O,OOO,OOO more than in 1917 and
l.36 more than in 1916. This loss is
one-seventh of all their assets. :.
What would you think if you knew
| that one-seventh of all your assets
would be wiped out every year?
In North Carolina the annual
loss is four millions of dollars, and
| this does not take into account the
loss in uninsured prperty fol
from experience we have ascertain
ed that 40 per cent of all the prop
| erty in this State is uninsured, and
| this does not take into account
either the fact that one fourth is
not insurable since you cannot car
ry more than three fourths of the
value of your property. So only
| about one third of the actual value
of the property in North Caroline
is insured, and when we say thai
we have lost $4,GOO,000 in NORTH
Carolina we have lost at least {
million and half more.
During the war we heard grea
deal about saving food, but we heal
so little about saving property, whe1

Versailles, May 10 Adistinct

Tale Of Two kentuckians.

Tale Of Two kentuckians.
And here for good measure, is a story that shows
what kind of people we are: Morgan, the raider,
along about '63, swooped down upon the Federal
garrison at Hartsville, Tenn Morgan had only
about 200 men, while the Union forces numbered
about 1000 STILL Morgan usually knew what he
was about result-severa hundred Federas killed
and the rest captured
AS soon as the battle was the Confederates
recrossed the Cumberland river. Among the rear
guard was Private Lurton of the Third Kentucky
cavalry He was the last man to recross the
river and lust ahead of him was the last Confeder-
ate wagon loaded with Federal muskets and other
captured articles.
In the meantime the sound of Morgan's guns
had disturbed the sumbers of another Kentuckian
This one was Union soldier, Harlan by name, ana
he was colonel Of the Tenth Kentucky infantry at
Castalian Springs six miles from Huntsville. He
Immediately started with his regiment TO the re-
lief of the garrison at Hartsville.
Harlan and his regiment reached the top or
bluff back from the river just as Lurton and the
last wagon of the Confederates were In the mid
die of the Cumberland Harlan had field piece
alonp and he pointed it at the Confederate cavalry
man and banged away. He didn't hit the cavalry
man so he tried again and kept trying.
Nevertheless, Harlans shells hit the river In
the immediate vicinity Of cavalryman and wagon,
and they made q nightly splash. The driver cut
loose his mules and made record time 10 the shore'
II Lurton tarried, there is no record Of 1t.
About so years later, in black robes, the colonel
behind the cannon and the private on the horse
sat side by side on the bench of the most august
tribunal Of the world. For the Federal was John
Marshall Harlan and the Confederate was Horace
Harmon Lurton-and both were associate justices
of the Supreme court of the United States of
America.
This United States of ours Is great country
and II is Just such things as this Naturalization
affair that makes us sure Of II.
When one of these Kentuckans banged away at
the other our country was in the throes of the
fercest and boodiest civil of all history. And
that was just about half century ago.
Since then have grown to be the weathiest
and most powerful nation earth. But better
still, we have outgrown the things that set Union
soldiers against Confederate, until the presence Of
these two fighting men of the Civil war side by
side upon the Supreme court bench was truly
typical Of sectional strife forgotten and country
reunited
II takes great country and great people to
make such things not only possible but actual re-
ailtes.
