j An Insurance Bill Killed.
A bill to ))rotect insurers in fire in-
! surp.nce eoni'.'anies not licensed to do [
! l)usincss in North Carolina was ])ut on
j readings and VA'as explained by ]\Ir. j
I Turlington as desirAi'iOd to permit thej
! insurer, in case of live loss, to serve
; f^ununons on the foreign company by
i filing a co])y with the state commis-
' sicmer of insurance, thereby domesti-
' eating the conii)any so far as that rar-
|iictilar ri.'k is concerned. He explain-
; ed that utulcr present conditions par
lies insuring with such companies are
1 ut to great trouble and risk in col
lecting their claims in case of disa
greement. The proposed law would
iilso require that all policies taken
with unlicensed companies be filed
with the insurance commissioner and
the tax of 5 per cent on the policy
paid by the policyholder. There \vas
iengthy discussion in which it devel
oped that the bill would have th^ ef
fect of nullifying the present law that
an agent representing an unlicensed
company in this state is guilty of a
misdemeanor. Then the bill w-as de
feated on a roll call vote of 24 to :J1.
Argument on Hours of Labor •Bill.
The Quickel bill to repeal that part
of Sec. 4 Act of 1907 regulating the
hours of labor for employees of rail
roads which makes it a masdemeanor
for any employee to violate the 16
hour law' came up on the proposition
to adopt the minority favorable report
from the judiciary committee No. 1.
Ivlr. Quickel leading the fight for his
bill, or rather for the minority recom
mendation from committee that it ])ass
Mr. Quickel argued at length discuss
ing especially the supreme court case
of Lloyd vs. Southern, in which the
plaintiff could not recover damages
for injuries because he had been guilty
of the misdemeanor of w'orking over
time when he was njured.
Mr. Battle, of Wake, spoke at length
against the bill, especially holding
that the Including of the employee in
the misdemeanor liability was espe
cially for the protection of the travel
ing public. Rawies, of Pamlico, favor
ed the minoi’ity report.
The house took recess at 2 o’clock
without action, to meet again at 8
o’clock to discuss the Stubbs bill to
amend the constitution.

I want to know one thing of you; Does your rather unique sityle of adver
tising pay? O, 1 know' people read them. My w*ife and children look for
jour changes first thing every day. In fact, I've got in the habit myself,
but does it bring you business?”
LISTEN TO THAT, NOW, JOHNNY JONES,
and break out crying. There are but three elements in successful adver
tising, viz: securing attention; having SOMETHING to offer; telling the
truth about it. I’ve never knowingly misrepresented my offerings, and I
never tender that in w'hich 1 haven’t the utmost coniidence. As to getting
attention and securing business; with but one head, two hands, and a pair of
clumsy feet, I don’t see how' I can do much more thf^u at present. I work
day and night and have tw'o practical helpers, the latest tools, up-to-date
systems, and still I’m sawing wood when I should be sleeping.
THE NEW SERIES IS STILL OPEN
Boys, and it almost makes me weep to see how the people w^ant the real
thing. Of course the Mutual B. & L. sets a terrific pace, but it’s better to

time.
