GV CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JUNE 22, : 1 J- 0 f- 1-SCKANCE EXPEUT HEKE. Ir. Jtllee W. Iwn, Actuary of the AmMtrMic Oommltlf, In the In -' 'sestlgnUiia; of. the lU IiuMuranoe , f)onitanJea In Xew York lUrenlly, tn Ciiartptte - Insurance , . Optlooh Mr. MUm M. Dawson, of New Tor, ne of the meet noted Insurance . ' parts In the country, was a Charlotte l visitor yesterday. After spending the day U conference with the officials of the Conaeravtlve Mutual Life lnmr- aace Company, Mr. Dawson left laat . nif ht for Atlanta, 0a., on business. - Mr. Dawson Is on of the proroin ent figures in the insurance world to day, v During the recent insurance Investigation In New York, he served ' the Armstrong committee in the rapacity of actuary. At present he is actuary of the committee ap - pointed by the lrgtHlature of Wiscon sin to Investigate the affairs of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Milwaukee, and the Union Central Life Insurance .Com pany, Of Ohio, two of the big. com panies doing business In that State. Mr. Dawson In elso actuary of the Koyal Commission on Insurance In . Canudu, w hich body Is engaged in a very ehauMlve examination of all the Canadian companies An ObHirver reporter called upon Mr. Dawson yesterday to leurn some thing of the present conditions In the - insurance held In the North and especially in New York. Knowing him to be one of the highest au thorities In the country on Insurance matters, an expression of opinion was desired as to whether or not jollcy hoMers In "The nig Three-' should drop their Insurance for policies In other companies, which had not been under Investigation. "There Is no question of the stabll- - Ity of the Hlg Three.' " declared Mr. Dawson. "HefoT the Investigation, a most thorough one. took place there were practices In common use : with almost all the companies which were Improper and Illegal. lieyond question these hae been eliminated and the companies to-day are stronger and betti r than at any other time In their history. The legisla tures of the States have enacted cer tain beneficent Insurance laws which re destined to result In great good not only to the policy-holders but to the companies as well. For In stance, laws have been passed limit ing the cost of new business. In the past the great cry ws 'new busi ness.' So much so that many of the companies paid out Immense sums In order to add new Insurance to the books. This practice has been done away with. The companies must submit detailed reports annually, showing Just what their expenses are. The movement Is a very pronounced one for mutuallr.utlon of all stock companies. "No one should drop a policy In a company simply because It has been examined by an Investigating com mittee. The companies are more table and In better condition to-day than they have ever been before, if the policies were satisfactory before the Investigation, they are certainly safer after It. The companies, with their millions of reserve, are as safe 'as It la possible for such Institutions to be." After spending a few days In the Booth, Mr. Dawson will leave for Toronto, Canada, arriving there early next week, it may be added that Mr. Dawson's select annultimate re serve tablea are now In use In New York as the minimum standard In Insurance computations.

During the paat summer the grounds have been rearranged and are now in bet ter condition than ever before. "It takea four or Ave years." declared Manager W. 8. orr yesterday, "for an association to get things properly In shape for a big fair. The Mecklen burg association is now well equip ped. This is very true. During the past several months 175 new stalls have been built for the live stock en tries. These are located just In the rear of the floral hall and are much more convenient than the old stalls, which are situated a quarter of a mile away, on the opposite aide ofjhe grounds. The old stalls will be giv en to the farmers free of charge, no that they may stable their horses and mules close at hand without fear of hnrm. There are 189 of these Old stalls, sufficient In themselves to ac commodate a fair-sited crowd. One change in the premium awards this year that will meet with very general approval Is the exclusion of all foreign exhibits from competition for prizes in the needle and fancy work nnd art departments. The term "foreign" Is used to denominate those exhibits which come from beyond the borders of the Carolina. The needle and fancy work depart ment will be In charge of Mrs. A. L. Bmlth and Miss Annie drier, while the art department will be supervised by Mrs. II. M. Kamsay and Miss Kssle Smith. MAXY WILL 0 TO MONTREAT.

Prof. ' Collier Cobb, of the depart ment of geology at Chapel Hill, has an article In the Jone issue oi ine National Geographic Magaslne, the text of which la as Interesting as the title Is attractive "Where the Wind Does the Work." Isn't that a happy phrasei run ot sweet suggestion ana invitation at this langorous aeason. V The article Is . descriptive of the chain - of Islands along- the ' North Carolina coast.' It la well Illustrated with pictures and maps. v Prof. Cobb well says that rNo por tion ot the North American continent is so widely known, and at the same time so little known,", as this. It has been written of at a distance. But this writer evidently reports from Intimate knowledge. How the blewn sand submerges whole forests and villages and encroaches upon the sound; how the wind Is employed for land locomotion, the running of grist mills, etc.: how It digs up the noil, even exposing the bones In , ceme teries; and something et the people and animals and vegetable life of these strange Islandsall this is cov ered In a most attractive way. The article will doubtless create a closer Interest among geologist and geographers Iri its subject matter. RESERVED HEATS PROVIDED.
