Mr. J. Sterling Jones, the general manager for the State of North Caro lina, introduced the company in 1886, and since that time has written about $10,000,000 of insurance in the Old North State. Among his policy hold ers are the leading representative men of the State in all the principal cities and towns, and it is hard to find a single township in the State that does not have a considerable number of its leading men as his clients It is an aphorism that insurance men, like poets, are born, not madej and the energetic manager of th Provident Savings Life has from thej very beginning of his career been an important and potential factor in life insurance affairs, and one that must be reckoned with. - It is safe to say that a man may be judged by the judgment of his neighj bors, and the best evidence of Mrj Jones fidelity to his clients is the fact that he has personally written in Greensboro alone $600,000 of insurj ance, and policies placed with him twelve years ago have been duplicated and greatly multiplied.

The character of the iron ores assures a I quality of pig metal that- is in great ! demand, both for home consumption and export.

It can be cheaply mined and would furnish a large 'Bessemer plant with ore for many years. The Ore Tlill limonite is non-Bes-, semer, but" will make a very superior foundry and forge iron.

As to location for home or export trade, this place has the advantage of cheap materials, rairaHd waterans portation -to Northern and Eastern States;1 and for export we have the nearest seaboard port, (Wilmington, N. C.) of any pig iron producing; dis trict. Pig iron can be produced here land put on vessels at Wilmington for $8.25 per ton. It is not possible for Bir mingham, Ala., to reach the sea coast at anything like these figures, :and obtain a "new .dollar for an old one.' With the many advantages we pos sess we should have .additional manu- ; factories, such as Bessemer steel i works, car shops, machine . shops j- for ; making electrical and cotton mill ma- ; chinery, agricultural implements, and improved mining and milling machin ery for the better securing of the precious metals deposited all around us, with a lavish hand. .

The Sergeant pany has been continually in 18th, 1869, and Manufacturing Corn uninterruptedly and business since April is the oldest busim-ss Establishment in Greensboro. During the past ten years the Ser geants have devoted their energy and attention to the perfection of their Patent Variable Friction Feed Saw Mill and Log Beam Set Works, the sales and popularity of which have in creased from year to year. Their trade in these mills covers a well adapted to larger powers, as the feed can be run up atT pleasure with the one lever to the very highest speed. ' ! ' The mandrel next to the saw is pro tected with a hood which serves .the double purpose of protecting the man drel and mandrel box and supporting the lumber as it passes from the saw. Each mill is furnished with the Ser geant patent saw guide. The carriage is built of the best seasoned timber, 1 1 ; i with bolts extending" through both set works is the fact that the log beam, after the log has been cut up can be shoved back by hand or press ed back by the oncoming log without the use of the ratchet lever, which saves a great amount of time.

I Mr. Georg-e S. Sergeant, the head of i the house, has greatly simplified the i construction of their mills, using1, the smallest possible number of working" parts, the result of which is to mini- S mize the liability 01 disorder, increase ! the life of the machine, and save cost, j j The present, perfection of this mill ! is the result of years of experience in I building" circular saw-mills and all kinds of head blocks and set works. It j combines in the simplest form all the ! latest improvements, and has many valuable features not found in others. 1 By the ' perfect construction of the : set works, the' sawyer can at any mo ment change the feed from the slow est to the fastest rate of speed with a singlelever, while the saw is cutting-, j thus enabling- the sawyer to use the full power of the engine I or water i wheel, whether the sawing- be light or heavy. ' j They can be run by a lighter power than any other mill because the speed can be graduated slower than others, and in the same way they are equally sides; it is mounted on wheels seven inches in diameter, with steel axles the width of the carriage, and runs in self-oiling- bearing-s. . " The set works is pronounced by all who have used it the "Acme of j sim plicity and perfection.' Both ends of the log- are set simultaneously jwith one lever operated by the sawyer from where he stands, or by a boy behind or upon the carriage. It sets jwith absolute accuracy for any desired thickness in eighths of an inch up to they were built. The prices of Sergeant's milTs are considerably less than ' other makes and there is no mill in existence that, possesses equal merit and will do the same work. -The Sergeant Patent Link Sash Weights were invented by George 8. Sergeant in 1894 and Immediately came into almost universal use wher ever they were known. The invention consists of an ingenious combination of weights of various diameters and three and a half inches at One throw lengths, by which a sash ofany given j weight may be balanced to within one- setting- half a pound. of the lever. The scale on top of 1 stand, in full view of the sawyer indi- ; cates at all times the exact distance; from the face of the knees' to the cut; of the saw. j ll i In addition to the common dogs, ad justable double-end drop dogs are fur nished. I On each log beam are setbut knees for straightening- tapering" logs and for sawing- tapering- lumber. -y A most valuable feature of the new The dealers in builders hardware soon found that with a stock of one ton of these weights they could fill any order which to be prepared to do with the old style solid weights would require a stock of twenty-five to thirty tons. These weights are manufactured at Greensboro, Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., Portsmouth, O., Nashville, Tenn and other places. . i i
