SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE
SUN.


The old adage that "There is
nothing new under the Sun" seems
to wane in the lgiht of the proposed
action OF the officers and field force
OF the Southern Aid Society of Vir-
ginla, Inc, the races oldest and
strongest Industrial Sick Benefit In
surance Company, with home offices
at Richmond, Va, and district offices
and agencies located throughout the
State of Virginia and District of
Columbia, and the district offices
are largely domiciled in the society's
own buildings. That is, they viii
celebrate all next week, in form of
a Policyholders' Appreciation Week,
the payment to policyholders for
Sick, Accident and Death Claims
during the winter and early spring,
the monumental sum of $200,000.00
"a larger total than has ever been
paid out during a similar period in
the history of the thirty-three years
OF operation of this great race in
stltution. The unusual feature about
the affair is that they are rejoicing
over the heavy out-go or losses in
payments to policyholders, while it
is custom for business concern to
shout only over the income or gains.
The program provides for eX-
preston of appreciation by policy
holders and the public through let
ters or personally to the officers and
field force; and the securing by the
agents OF at least one new policy
holder iii each home, and a paid up
book on all old policyhoiders. Each
district or agency group will strive
to present the best record or score
on these results for this occasion. A
souvenir will be presented each per-
son who visits the district offices and
agencies during Policyholders' Ap-
probation Week.
The Southern Aid Society of Vir-
ginia, Inc, has demonstrated force
fully, the ability of our group to
master the insurance business, and
TO maintain wall of protection for
its policyholders: To say nothing
about its great economic uplift to
the race, through the employment of
hundreds of young men and women,
the support given our banks and
other enterprises, and especially, to
our professional groups.
: The society is fortunate to have
an outstanding and competent group
Oh omcerS and directors, and loyal
and highly trained field or agency
force.
The society's last report as of De-
cember 81, 1895, showed these un-
usual results: Paid in Capital $685.
O8O.0O; Policy Reserve, $275, 900. 90;
Surplus, $464, ,65.592; Gross Income
for 1925, $1,113,7 3,781.28; total paid
Policyholders to December 81, 1925,
S4,015. .655.42. These evidences of
thrift and business conservation, the
Society's Three In One Insurance
Policy, and the fact that it has ac-
cumulated such great strength in re-
sources, and magnitude in business
while operating only in the State of
Virginia and District of Columbia,
make 1T the races most outstanding
insurance organization.

Stabbed After a Fight.

Carroll was killed and johnson
was wounded as they were on their
way home from the plant of the
United States Metal Refining Com
pany, where they were employed. AS
they passed a group of colored men
on the street, one of the latter is
said to have made an offensive re-
mark. A fight started and Carroll
was stabbed over the heart with q
pocket knife. His assailants took
to their heels, pursued by Johnson.
He was gaining on them when one
turned and stabbed him in the abdo-
men. He was taken to the Perth
Amboy Hospital, where his condition
is serious.
Carroll's body was taken to
Burns's Undertaking Parlors to be
prepared for burial, and during the
day it was viewed by many persons
who gathered afterward in the
streets and discussed the stabbing.
Toward evening the crowd started
toward the Baptist Church on Lark
Street.
The Rev. George H. Reed, colored
pastor, was in the pulpit when the
mob reached the church. None of
the white men carried firearms, but
most of them had clubs and cudgels.
Stones were thrown through the
windows of the frame church and
some of the white men went in
through the door. In a few min

CARTERET, N. j., April 26.-
The First Baptist Church, whose
parishioners are all colored people,
was burned to the ground early this
morning, the pastor, his wife and
daughter were forced to flee to
Elizabeth for refuge and more than
100 colored families were driven
from town by a mob of white men,
some masked and armed with clubs.
The burning of the church fol-
lowed the fatal stabbing of John
Carroll, a local boxer, and the
serious wounding of Ralph Johnson,
both white, by number of colored
people early yesterday morning. One
colored man was arrested on a
charge OF murder and five Others are
being held as material witnesses.
No personal injury was done to
any of the colored people by the
white men, but they cauntioned
against returning to Carteret. Two
colored men were attacked later,
however. Throughout the day, how
ever, some returned to their homes
aknd some even appeared at the
places where they are employed.
