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."

llrv Joe Person's Remedy
Has been a real Messing to our borne,
ant "while It Is not a "king cure-all.
as some one quaintly puts it. 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

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!
