In order to, galfT the i ceseary Information an Observer re porter called upon one of the pest Known nill men of the city yesterday and asked hint something about tnese nmnnjllM - - lie aaid: The 1 mutuals of New rngrland have done a great service to the South In that they have brought about; great reduction in the rate rxf insurance on cotton mill properties. Formerly a nigh rate was charged. The nreaent rate is but a mau per cent, of the .original one. Tht reduction la Ait to tt mutuala. Ae an evidence of this, the old companlea charged me from 75 cent" tofLM o the $100 of mill property. - The nm insurance ' can "be had in the mutual for rrom 13 to U cents. To explalni the matter would require too much time. It may be aaid 4 hat -the mutual are assess ment companies. A number of mill are. Insured together. Should a lose occur:1 the amount of the damage is , divided, pro rata, among the ones in the asaoclatton. The expense of man agement, which is email, la added and 4he eoe)t la reduced to a minimum. These associations have members all over the ?Sottth, .a few probably In each j Btate.. When a mill makes application ; for 1 100,000 of insurance, this amount la divided among some 10 different ' companies. Each takes a part so that the total risk is distributed equally. ; And then you have the reason why 5 these small companies do not care to ,'pay the license tax of two hun dred' dollar. The huge corpora tion pay that earn and do not miss It. But the small mutual company, whose total premiums do not aggre - gat perhaps more than 1500, do not bcUve that it la right that they should pay the same tax as that one which derived many thousands of dollars from ' he State In premiums. And you might add that the officials of the Southern Cotton Oil Company took . the aame view of the case that the companies did, hence refused to give way . the names of these companlea . which had evaded the law. , - "But there la a law and to long as there 1 a law it should be observed. , I do not give this a excusing anyone, but simply aa Information."

It is a wonderful medicine. In 1901 there wa an er-ldemic of typhoid fever In this village two of our boys (aged and ;years. respectively) were stricken. We gave the Remedy three times, dally, doubling or trebling the dose when the . temperature went be low normal, : No ether stimulant was used. Patients- were dieted and nursed sarefully-and though one -of them was very fguVKc r Tne ka The after effect was called In fourteen weeka splendid, each patient rapidly gained strength, and within two weeks after leaving his cot,: was able to go to Sunday school. We owe much to Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. About four years ago acrofulltla de veloped in one ' of our children (neither of the above). The child's life was despaired of for a long while, the mere touching of the affected limb producing agony. After four month of hovering, apparently over the orink of tne grave, we began to use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy with the consent of our physician. Slowly the blood began to get purer, in four months a lump as large as an egg passed, down the leg, stopping above the ghee. The doctor lanced the place, then came no more. This opening remained for two years, dur ing which time both wash and Remedy were dally used, the boy growing hearty and healthy. At the end of this time he began to try to walk. Walked on "all four " for a year, then on his feet for the past year, nut ne naa grown crooked- pitifully so. Had him examined by one of Richmond, Va.'a best physi cians, wno said ne was "in splendid condition, ana would only need me chanical treatment. Until I get him straight, continue to give him the medicine he has been taking." This waa done, and in January the little fellow went to the Retreat For the Sick, Richmond, Va for this mediant cal treatment. In April he returned to Hasty, straight. In all these years not one drop or medicine except Mrs. Jo Person s Remedy. As a blood purifier its value is (in my opinion) priceless. I cannot, in view of all It naa done for us, withhold this test! mony. MRS. J. T. THOMPSON". Haaty, Scotland Co., C, May 4, is vs. amples Furniture j Lars ahlnment of Bed Room tv-M,?
