It is true of oations, States and
communities, as well as of individ
nals that their wealth is not meat.
' tired by what has been produced,
bat by what has been saved and
kept at home. Naturally; the
South is the wealthiest section of
" this continent, and it has since
the war, produced wealth enough
to have enriched it fabulously.
Its accumulation of wealth bow
ever, has been retarded by the
Bevere. drains upon it in sending
oat both its money and ita product
to other sectious. One of the large
channels through which much of
its wealth has flowed which has
enriched other sections 19 insur
ance, and until comparatively re
cent years, there has been but
little effort made to restrict this
drainage. Withitrrecent years how
ever, insurance compauies have
been organized in the South. Later
they have come even into our own
State and now within touch of our
own immediate borders.
Early this week a life insur
ance company of $250,000 capital4,
$105,000 of wLich has be9u paid
in, was organized in the city of
Fayetteville, with Mr. E. H. Wil
liamson as president and a board
of thirty. one directors. A good
deal of Robeson county capital is
invested in the enterprise, which
gives an interest in the success of
the institution, which should urge
every one about as to give it their
cordial encouragement and sub
stantial support. Insure in the
Southern Life and keep your,
money at home, should be the
motto of Robesonians. We copy
the following Fayetteville special
of the 5th to the Wilmington Mes
senger: The Southern Life Insurance
Company was organized here to
day, capital stock $100,000. It
largely oversubscribed and is a
representative gathering of the
strongest men of the Cape Fear
section. It is estimated that tb,e
men in attendance represent the
wealth of over two million. R.
D. Caldwell, of Lumberton, was
made chairman, J. A. Oates, Bee
retarv of the meeting. Articles of
incorporation were read and
adopted. The following were
unanimously elected officers :
i' President, E. H. Williamson
Vice Presidents, W. J. Johnson,
John Blue, A. L. James, R. D
(Jaldwell ; (ieneral Manager and
Treasurer, C. J. Cooper. Medica

church. W. L. Holt, W. H. Sikes,
T. L. Northrop, backed by a strong
board of directors.
ine me9tmg adjourned to meet

of by-laws and. permanent organi

Port Arthur territory fell to her
alio. And a large sum of money
cornea to her both for taking care
of Russian prisoners and the rail
way line in question. Russia's
place in the orient for which she
had expended so. much money is
all gone, save one ice bound port.
Jspan feels, and with good reason,
that she got enough in the glory
that fell to her in an uninterrupted
series of great victories by laod
and by sea. May the peace be a
lasting one. All the world joins
in this hope.
Governor Glenn did the very
thing he ought to have done in
calling upon the solicitor of the
district to go to Newberne and
ferret out by -legal processes the
guilty fifty men who went to the
jail there and took from it a negro
who was incarcerated for assault
ing the wife of a postmaster with
an axe fdr purposes of robbery and
banging or shooting him to death.
It was a .brutal murder that was
committed. The woman assailed
by the negro was not killed aDd
the purpose of the asBaul wbb not
the nameless crime, but robbeiy.
We see in thin heartless crime
committed ro deliberately and in
excusably the tendency ot mob
lw. The tendency must be ar
rested. If proper reverence, the
only safeguard of the people, is to
be maintained for law and the
courtf, such high handed and cold
blooded murderB must not be per
mitted in the commonwealth.
Murderers must not be allowed to
escape because twenty-five or fifty
of them are conjoined in a given
felony. Crime is crime if com
mitted by one or by fifty. The
governor stands as the chief ex
ecutive of the law and is cath
bound to enforce it. All good and
law abiding citizens will commend
and uphold his hands as be does
his duty faithfully and fearlessly.
