Hence the business has beoome an interesting field to capitallists. We are in sympathy with the movement to encourage home in surance. It is adapted to keeping onr capital at home. Bat is there not danger in trying to do too much home insuranoe? Any busi ness may be overdone. Oar State can support only a definite num ber Mm Vw 1 of companies. If more are organ ued all are imperiled. There are . j . I Kft?K hazardous business ventures when overflowing as m New York City. And likewise there are temptations when companies are doing a small business and making a painfully scant living. Men beoome des- perate and moral obligations are lost to sight when they, are about to.be forced to the brink of bank ruptoy. It is about time to call a halt, possibly it is already too late, in organizing these compa nies. The progressive and generous spirit of A. W. MoLean, Esq., in behalf of a monumenUo be erected at the capital of the county in memory of its Confederate Veter- ans is worthy of all praise. It is a stirring appeal tnav deserves a prompt and liberal response; The readiness and the heartiness battle soarred old veterans that yet survive responded to the oall are interested in the" price of cot to arms and the battle cryfonlton, are especially invited to meet many a "bloody field should be T.nnr. oi iuh uiuhi hiki vnnnirHr nnA f this memorial shaft.

Mc- K'mzi, chairman of th Monu mental Association : For the last five or bx years thero has been much said tout building a monument tome where in Robeson county to the mumory of the Confederate dead, the brave patriotic son9 who gave their lives to the Southern cause and whose bones have been rest ing under tne clods o every southern State, and s nu, oh yes many, uear or by Korthern prisons, who tho' dead yet speak th, bud the hfc&rt of every true Confederate soldier iu this county has britMi made to bow in eadcess a,ijd( f.et at this untiarr.. !;ubl neglect, of a suitable monument to the memory of their heroic broth ere, over whose mounds the blighting winds of winter and the blazing sua of summer have beat for 40 long years. About five years ago Camp Ryau appointed a committee whoso duy was to make au ener getic effort to etcuro funds for the eractiou of this long cherished uiaiouc i t'j their dead comrades, memory and at that time cosider aole enort was made and our hopes were beginning to grow bright, but alas only to be soon crushed by seeming carelessness and want of fund, but the ladies of Maxton did come to their res cue and raised $25.00 which amount has been held by Mr. J. A. McAllister, county treasurer of the Monumental Association, as a nest egg. Last summer during the Home comiag week at Red SpringB, another effort was begun and the following amounts eub scribed, with the understanding that etch dollar subscribed should entitle the donor to cast one vote as tc what place in the county the monument should be erected and the town receivnag the largest number of votes should have the monument within its borders This was considered a just and equitable way of deciding the lo cating of tho much desired struc ture. On a subscription list read ing in substance as above, the fol owing amounts were subscribed: Capt. Tom McBryde $50.00 W. H. Graham 25.00 J. A. McAllister 50.00 J. A. Brown 25.00 D. P. McEichin 25.00 W. F. Williams 5.00 W. P. Homphrey 5.00 J. C. MoKenzie 5.00 H. F. McKinnon 5.00 W. K. Oalbreth 5.00 A. C. McKinnon 5.00 A. D. McCallum 5 00 J. F. Culbreth 1.00 This with the J' 25.00 rom Maxton ladies gives us all told for the monument $286.00 Last week we received a letter from Mr. A. W. MoLean offering to pay $2UU.U0 to the erection provided nine other citizens pay ike amount to said fund. The monument to be erectei at the court bouse in Robeson county. Saturday evening we received a very pleasing note from Messrs. Mclctyre & Lawrence subscribing fifty dollars to said fond. Now these late subscribers, by the sons of the Confederacy do our hearts great good and inspire new hopes, and it seems our long cherished aims and ambitions are to be realized, Mr. McLean's letter speaks for itself, and breathes sentiments worthy of a on of a Confederate soldier. The private note from Molntyre & Lawrence tells in loud terms the patriotic sentimentsthat lie in the bosom of the sons of the defenders of the Southern cause, and we be- live the time is ripe for an ener . m . a getio move xor a creaitaoie and suitable tribute be paid to tb memory of the Confederate dead from Robeson county. Feeling that every .Veteran and son"bfa Veteran will come forward and do their duty, and we feel sure the ladies of the oounty and Daugh ters of the Confederacy will do their part. Subscriptions to this cause wil be received and acknowledged bf the Citizen, Robesoniao, Argus and Scottish Chief, or by Mr. J A. McAllister, treasurer, or by any member ot the Monumenta Committee consisting of the fol lowing gentlemen : Capt, Tom McBride, Red Spg's S. B. Town send, Red Springs. Col. S. J. Cobb, Lumber Bridge B. Stancil, Allenton. J. S. Thompson, Lumberton. W. G. Graham, Rowland M. G. McKenzie, Mix ton. The above committee are re quested to meet at the court bouse in Lumberton on Saturday De cember9, at 12 o'clock to take proper action in this important matter. Since writing the above we have received an additional $200. to the above fund from Mr. Berry Godwin cf Lumberton. The Jewish Massacre In Russia. The horrible massacres of Jfictb in Russia instigated by the gov ernment and perpetrated by the Musjiks populace, who are paid by the government about 15 cents per day to kill and torture Jews, for the only reason that the Jew has always been the first in ev ery movement tor ireeaom and the tottering Russian government gratifies its thirst for revenge upon the Jews. Women are first crimi nally assaulted, then put to death, tender children killed by spikes drivea in their teads, etc. The sufferings have evoked civilized humanity, especially those of the United States, nearly a million dollars has been forwarded to the sufferers in Russia from American Jews alone, the money is distribu ted among all, without any dis tinction of creed, every Jew or deserving Gentile is given aid, also the tender feelings of our Gentile friends have been aroused at a meeting in New York City ot the members of the 1st Baptist church. $56,000 was raised and handed over to the treasurer of the National fund, Mr. Jacob H Schiff. Two hundred and fifty dollars was given by our Gentile brethren at Darlington, S. C. At the first call the most of the few Lumberton Jews have responded as follows: Mr. a . wei ostein, $25; Duma Bro. & .hochet, $25; M. Margoliee, $5; J. Margolies, $3; S. Weinsit-iu, $3 ; S. Berman, $3; Harry Wcinstoiu, $2; H. Laz arus (a drummer) $2; . Margo- ies, $1; Louis Weinstein, $1. All those were at one forwarded to the treasurer ot the National fund.
