' NUMBER 52 NORTH CAROLINA HAIL INSURANCE CO. WITH A CAPITAL STOCK OF Is a New Enterprise For Loalsbarg? To do m General Hall and Storm insurance Business For Crops. What will prove to be one of the most beneficial organizations for the farmers' that has ever been estab lished In this section will no donbt be the North Carolina Hall Insurance Company, which has been organized In Loulsburg with a capital stock, of $25,000.00, to do a general hall and storm Insurance business for the bene ilt of the farmers' . This company was promoted by Mayor James A. Turner, who U widely known In the Insurance business throughout the State, and Is thoroughly capable of engineering plans that will make a successful enterprise, both - to the policy holders and to the stock holders. It will be unlike the former mutual hall - insurance com panies as there will be no assessment? or no conditions that the policy will be paid if all members "pay in." On the contray this will be what might be termed a straight contract com pany as it will write only policies that will carry poetive benefits such as the present day fire insurance policies. A premium will be placed upon each policy determined by the risk in ques tion and after that It is paid, -you will have a stated protection, which will be paid upon the compliance with the plans of settlement. The Company will have its head offices In Loulsburg and will operate branch offices in a number of adjoining counties, espec ially in Wake, Nash. Wilson and Lenoir. The organization nf this Company will fill a long felt need among the farmers' in this section and in the State, There Is no reason why a company- of this kind should not be of as much if not more, importance than insurance companies in other lines of business. The fanner risks not only his capital, but his whole year's work m the making of a crop, and the loss from hail being so complete in reality needs protection and we believo they will soon learn to appreciate the value of such when substantial Companies begin to write policies on a fair and safe basis to th? farmer as well as the Company. From what we can learn this Company. Is going to take the lead in putting out a policy that will look * great deal to (ho real protection of the farmers' and oar fanners' as a whole should very seriously consider . the value of protection and the policy tit? North Carolina Hall Insurance Co., puts out From time to time as the organisa tion becomes more perfected we will inform par readers, and (n the mean time lets wish for tta big success, both to the Company and the farmers' who partake of its benefits.

May, -editor of the Wen dell Times, wan assaulted on the streets of Wendell at JB: 30 today by three men because of an article he printed In bis paper regarding the moral Innocence of an unnamed church deacon who kept liquor in his house and the responsibility of a fel low who stole It, got drunk and sob ered up In the town Jail. The trial was to be heard this' afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Amos Dean, Mr. C. 8. Hobgood, his Sbn-ln-law, and Mr. Carroll Dean, a son, were the assailants. Mr. May was going to his office with a bundle of "papers under one arm and a pall of milk under the othei1 when he wan set upon by the trio, knocked down, and otherwise badly handled. He had on his glasses, and was not given time to remove them, he said. As- soon as he appeared to be getting on even terms with one of his assailants, an other would enter, and as a result, he has a bruised" face, a rather large knot on his head and a few tender places. Mr. Amos Dean, it appears, is the deacon who had liquor in- his pos session.?Raleigh Times. This to our minds , is only a case of where the deacon wanted Editor May to Jump on the "other fellow" and rub him up and down the back for fooling with whiskey, but as for him Oh, no! He was a deacon in the church and whatever his short comings might be, must be covered up. Editor May was right in the position he took and the good people of Wen dell' should be Open and free with their endorsements of his action.

What proved to be one of the most enjoyablo social events of'the season was the "get-to-gether banquet" given on last Monday night by the Woman's Missionary and the Young Woman's Missionary Societies of the Methodist Church in the new and hendsome Sunday school annex to the men of the Church and a number of Invited guests. About a hundred covers were laid and as the merry number faced each other around the banquet tables, with Rev. Mr. Wil cox, p&stpr of tho Church as Master of ceremonies, a bounteous sevea course dtpner waa served by the ladles of these Societies. At the same time the guests won enjoying this elegant supper, beautiful music waa being rendered by MIbscb. House of Thelma and Aires of Loulaburg Col lege and the following toastfcxwere given. "Woman and Woman's Work," by H. Malone, which was responded to In a rich and graceful manner, by Mrs. Jas. A. Turner, representative from the mislaonary societies, whose toast ..was so highly complemented that we give it here In full.' "Possibly Hke all good little chil dren you were taught that man was made and after him woman, and that she should go on her way satisfied with this arrangement; but I am here this evening to tell you in LoulQ burg\the tables have turned, and our men come willingly and gladly after the women. We wore not driven to suffrage to bring about such a con dition either, and not one of us went to Raleigh to have Dr. Anna Howard Shaw show us how to manage the mem Our mothers taught us this as a necessary part of every well trained girl's education. "Ask who it was that 15 years ago said "we must tear_ down and build larger, and if each brick In our well loved chnrch does not represent a labor of love and self sacrifice from some noble hearted woman." "As a missionary society Jiave we not .labored with you for this beautiful new room, jang. stood with funds ready, even at BuchT cHtTSil time in this financial crisis, to finish it ready for eoeapancy? This evening we are here In large numbers to feed you, we have tried to do It well, because we know that on this ground above all other we shall sUnd or fall In the estimation " of the men. "As a representative of the Woman's Missionary Society, it gives me pleas ure to thank our gifted townsman and co-laborer In this great Sunday school work In Loulsburg for the kind words he has said of us this evening. Shall I say that we have been rated too high? No. a thousand times, no! For we believe that while the Sunday school stands as the great strong right arm of the church, thaJSVoman's Mis sionary Society'stands as Its trusted left, and is moved and controlled by impulses straight from the heart of as noble, consecrated a society of wo men as can be found In the Old North State. "We hare branches of work not alone for adults but that reach out with love and minister to the children and-young people of our church. We have committees to whom the sick and destitute in our community have learned to come, for by experience they know that here they will find sympathy and help in time of trouble. Others see that boxes of clothing and things dear to the child's heart are Bent to our fatherless ones at the Orphanage In Raleigh, and often boxea and money are sent our Methodist preachers serving the hard fields of work In North Carolina. "We have a publicity bureau, and are striving through the religious and secular -press to put our work and need before the world. Our work to great, our needs far greater: I must say to our honored guests and towns men present that. Were It not for the men of the Methodist "Church, I should not stand here tonight because there would not be a Missionary Society to represent It Is through their ettorta and sympathy "we are what we are."
