NORTHERN AND WESTERN
FARMERS MAY COME IN

ATLANTA, April 26.-The sug-
gestion recently made by agrieul-
turists here that the civic clubs Of
Southern cities generally can do a
fine work by taking up the prob
lem of finding Southern rural homes
for northern and wetsern farmers,
who are eager to locate where the
climate is more genial, has been re-
ceived with great interest and re-
ports show that steps will soon be
taken in that direction.
AS pointed out by leading agricul-
turists, there are many thousands
of acres Of fine farming lands in
the South capable of the highet de-
gree of cultivation now lying idle
There is room in the South for many
good farmers from other parts OF
the country, it is stated, but al
influx Of immigrants are not want
ed, it is asserted.
Both business men and agricul-
turists here and in other sections 81
the state, in discussing the subject
of immigration, are inclined to en-
dorse the position taken by U. S
Senator w. j. Harris of Georgia t.
place rigid restrictions on the ina
portation of the foreign element.

WEENL ASSN. URGES
EARLY POISONING
Dusting of Small Plants DecIar.
ed Most Profitable TO Lowndes
Farmers

VALDOSTA, April 26.-The Ma
tional Boil WeeviI Control Asso-
citation, which is headed by Hon.
Clarerce Ousley, a native Of
Lowndes county, is strongly urging
cotton growers to plan for an early
fight with the boil weevil. The As
ISOLATION makes it plain that every
farmer growing cotton should
be alert ard not let the weevil get
a start. The Association declares
that early busting of the plants,
when they are small, will very
largely assist in keeping down the
spread of the weevil. When as
many as twenty weevils are found
to the acre, the Association says
the battle should start with vigor.
Every Time one weevil is killed it
means the prevention Of thousands
of others of future generations cons
ing into the world to ravage the
crop, is an idea the Association is
trying to drive home with force.

the city, rapid progress is now be-
ing made on the highway between
Grangerville and Mt. Pleasant.

it was found that this item repre-

The North Carolina Mutual did
not attain this position like Topsy.
1t did not just aimlessly grow. 1t
has taken exactly rs years of UNI
selfish labor to make this institu-
ton. April l, 1924, marked its
first milestone. The examiners did
not overlook the man who has been
behind the helm for every year and
day of these % years and his faith
full colleague, who shouldered the
burden with him for 81 years. We
refer to C. c. Spaulding, president

The North Carolina Mutual Life
Insurance company of Durham, n.
c., which passed its 25th annivers-
airy on April /, 1924, has just been
examined by the insurance depart
ments of three states, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Virginia,
n order that an official report can
be made to the committee on exami-
nations of the national convention
of insurance commissioners.
To begin with, the report of the
examiners states that ''the COM
pany is the only mutual life or
ganization in North Carolina of any
size. which is owned and managed
exclusively for its policyholders."
After a careful examination of
the books of the company the eX-
aminers state that the North Caro-
lima Mutual had on December 81,
1928, over $41,0O0,000 worth of
insurance in force, to be exact,
S41,148,747 For the protection
of the policyholders, on whose lives
this insurance is placed, it main
tains a reserve fund of over 81,
8S5,119.54. It's premium income
during 1928 was nearly 100000.
1t paid to policyhclders during
1928 100000 in death and sick
claims, 1865, 38097. It's total adj
mitted assets are $1,945,521.95,
lacking $2,O09,0C0 by only $54,-
47e.97.
In addition the examiners state
that they found the books and rec
ords very accurately kept" This is
indeed an unusual recommended
ton for the conduct of a million
dollars business in these days of
Teapot Tome scandals.
How did the examiners find the
North Carolina Mutual was invest
ing its assets amounting to nearly
two million dollars?
Here is what the examiners have
to say on that subject: "These

Substantial increases in the endown-

some of the work accomplished by

South, for the benefit of Methodist
institutions of learning throughout
the southern territory, reported DR..
H. H. Sherman, associate secretary
of the board of education at the

DR.. Sherman stated that at the
injecting of the secretary-treasurers
held in Memphis, in January, it was
voted to change the period that had
been set aside for the special cf-
fort for the Christian education
movement inasmuch as this period
conflicted with the meetings Of the
annual conference. The period fer
the movement was set for Noyem-
Der 81, 1924 to April /, 1925. He
reported the collection to date of
about $4.500,000 on regular sub
