EQUITABLE MEMBERS
SAflFORD VISITORS
Entertained By Frank S. Cul
lon, Representative in
Lee Capital
SANFORD, Jan. 13.—About sixty
members of the Equitable Life As
surance society, of New York, en
joyed the hospitality . of Frank S.
Cullom, the local representative for
this section, at a banquet given in the
Sanford hotel Wednesday night.
ATr. Cullom acted as toastmaster,
Ilarrv T. Adams, of Raleigh, the
agency manager of the Equitable for
the Eastern half of North Carolina,
Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Raleigh, and
Prof. J. A. Campbell, of Bulk’s Creek,
made the principal after dinner
speeches. Mr. Adams, - in a very
forceful way, gave the fundamental
principles underlying all insurance
business. Mr. Stephenson followed
with a striking. address on “The
Circle of Dove,” in which he showed
that insurance and many other pro
gressive movements had their incep
tion in the impulse of lave. This he
illustrated very forcibly in the life
of Mabel Hubbard; who recently died
in Washington City. As a girl she
was,.stone deaf. Alexander Graham
Pell met her, loved her and married
her. It was out of hfs study of
’■honetics with a view to helping his
wife to hear that the invention of the
telephone came.
Other speakers of the evening were

I-. Melver, of Buekhorn, Revs. R. C.

Was a Good Judge of Liquor
' “Since a young man I had a liking
for liquor and was considered a pret
ty good judge of it at one time, but •
constant drinking gave me stomach 1
trouble which became chronic. My \
stomach would have been a valuable
addition to a gas factory. Doctors did \
not seem to relieve me. One day my
druggist got me to try Mayr’s Wonder
ful Remedy, and I am now as good |
as new.” It is a simple, harmless' pre
paration that removes the catarrhal
mucus from the intestinal tract and !
allays the inflammation which causes
practically all stomach, liver andN in- j
“testinal ailments, including appeqdi
i citis. One dose will convince or
