Insurance Rate War
Insurance Commissioner Young is
quoted as saying that all the insurance
companies doing business in the State
are making money. This fact, how
ever, does not prevent the Southeastern
Tariff Association Monopoly from con
tinuing Its levy of the arbitrary i."
per cent advance in rates and trying
to compel the independent companies
at Greensboro to do the same. In fact,
it has recently resorted to most des
perate efforts to coerce its opponents,
as the following from the Greensboro
Record of July 26th shows:
"Representatives of the Southeastern
Tariff Association have been in Greens
boro for two days laboring- wall the
home companies to get thelll to raise the
rate of insurance. The Gii-iisb.nu
public will be gratified hi kuo.v th.it
the home companies have withstood
the tremendous pressure brought to
bear on them and have decided to
stand steadfastly by their posi'ion and
not to charge the 2j per cent advance
As a penalty for this decision the asso
ciated companies have forced all their
Greensboro agents to surrender t!i"
agency of the Greensboro companies
and to sever all connection with them.
It is feaid they threatened -Messrs ( .
W. Carr & Co.. D. C. Wadded. Murray
ISf os. and Tate fc Walsh. who wire
agents for both the association compa
nies anil the Gretnshoro companies .mi 1
that unless they severed all connection
with the Greensboro companies, tijey
would withdraw in a body from their
agencies or withdraw from Gi -een.siioi
entirely, and they were about to put
this threat into effect. This meant the
utter ruin of the business of these
agents in the building up of which
renin' of them have spent a lifetime.
und there was nothing else tor then to
Uo but to accept the terms offered at 1
t i give up the Greensboro loinpanl i
Decides forcing these agents to eat. eel
their contracts with the Greensboro
companies, these foreign companies
have Inaugurated a war on the bus',
ness of the home companies at Greei-s-boro.
If what was told the Ueond
this morning is true, the ass.iciat'un
has gone even further than ttiis. It is
said they went to several large con
cerns here which carrj large insurar.i e
;uid told them unless they made tl.e
home companies advance their '-ates 2
per cent, they, the association, would
cancel all policies held on such risks,
leaving them practically with no in
surance. If this is nut blackmail:. ij
and bulldozing, what do you .all it?
Here is a man trying to fore- another
to make an insurance company chaise
him more than the regular rafes."
And so it seems that being unable to
force the independent companies to
terms, the Insurance Trust Is now try
ing to compel the insured to m xke the
independent companies let them pay
the advanced rafes. In this also they
have, in Greensboro at least, met de
feat and are not likely to have better
luck anywhere else. North Carolina fdk
are not accustomed to being driven to
do things and this method of -varfare
is something they are likely to resent
in a very emphatic sort of way.
It is safe to say they will eotitirire
to stand by the home companies.
These companies are composed of
North Carolina folks, they have been
doing' a good-business and a safe Tjusi-
ness. rney are sausneu wnn tin it
profits from the old rate and it is to be
hoped that the public will give them
all the busfhess they can do and give
as little as possible to the Trust.
It is certainly a case in which the
people can and ought, for their future
welfare, to take a hand in the crushing-out
business.
Rural Telephone Systems
The farmer hails with gladness the
establishment of every new rural free
delivery route. It brings the benefit
of the postoffice system right to his
door, establishes iiuick commun'c ation
with the outside world and puts him in
touch with the news of the day. This
means education and civilization. a:id
he is a wise farmer that insists on his
congressman giving him a rural fiee
delivery route.
But there is another means of o ni
munication that will be of even greater
benefit to the farmer: That is a rural
telephone system. When built on the
co-operative plan ithe expense share!
by all who receive the benefits), it is
not expensive, and its advantages are
very great. Farmers and their fami
lies are put in direct communication
with each other, and thereby thi lone
liness of farm life is largely counter
acted. Loss of time !: making fruit
less errands is prevented, inquiries of
a business or social nature may be
made without a journey of perhaps
miles, and news of importance may be
spread quickly over the section.
Local telephone systems haV- been
established In many sections of the
State, but nowhere, perhaps, i? there
a better and more extensive rural
'phone system than that in Union coun
ty. The Marahville Home thus describes
it and points out its benefits:
There are in the county ten telephone
exchanges and six of these are ia the
country. The total number of "phones
in the county is 542. and 235 of these
are in towns and 247 in the country;
and the system Is yet in its infancy in
the rural districts. At the present rat
of increase the number of 'phones In
the county will probably be increased
100 per cent within the next twelve
months and it is only a question cf
short time before this county will be a
network of wires and almost evtry
farmer will have a 'phone in his house
The telephone system, together with
rural free delivery of mails, will revo
lutionize things in favor oi country
life, rendering it less isolated and more
attractive. Even now all important
news is transmitted to every part of
the county as soon as it occurs. Two
hours after President McKinley was
shot at Buffalo, the affair was being
talked about by our farmers through
their neighboring exchanges. During
the recent congressional convention at
Monroe farmers sat In their homes
and received the ballots as they were
cast for the various candidates and
many of them knew who the nominee
was before the first applause from the
friends of the successful candidate had
subsided.
Of course it takes no argument to
show the advantages a community en
joys that possesses such a method Of
communication, but the Progressive
Farmer well states some of the pleas
ures and profits that are thus added
to country life. It says:
The telephone puts t e farmer -In
touch with his neighbo and with the
markets: herein lies its value. Without
loss of time in changing your clothes,
hitching the horses, or driving over
the roads, the telephone, with all the
peed of electricity, puts you lno com
munication with the person you seek.
You can call up Merchant Brown and
get his prices on butter or beef, or
learn the price of cotton or tobacco at
your nearest market; you can call up
Farmer Jonts and ask him to send you
a he 1 hand for the next day, or toll
you the condition of your sick neigh
bor; your wife and children can ar
range with neighbors for social visi's;
in case of illness, the physician can be
quickly summoned; neighbors can be
called to the rescue in case of lir1 or
accident; important news will reach
you before getting stale and there are
a thousand and one other advantages
;hat do not occur to us just now.
We know of no section of the coun
i.. which such means of communi
cation as that suggested above is more
desirable than in Western North Caro
lina, broken up as it is by mountain
and stream and valley. What farmers
have done in other sections may be
done here, and there is no reas ; why
tl is convenient method of conno jr.icu
tion should not be established, espec
ially among the more thickly settled
communities of this section.
'1 he tendency among young men
growing up in the countiy has been to
move to tlie towns. For this the l.'iie-iine-.s
and isolation of farm-life has
been largely responsible. Is it toa
much to hope that with the establish
ment of rural free delivery routes and
o-opei ati e telephone lines, farm !ife
ill be made more attractive and there
will be a change that will result i.: a
building up of waste places an i i ..
.leased valuation of our farming
lands?

PROPHET OF EVIL
IN CLEVELAND
A year or two ago economists wcrie
predicting that the time would come,
and not in the far distant future, .vh.-n
silver would be more valuable than
gold. Though the prediction is perhaps
an exaggeration, it now seems likely
that in the near future the production
of gold will be increased far beyond
thai of silver and of course its pur
chasing price will be correspondingly
ie, leased. In the Tu's large silver de
posits became available by reason of
tin' introduction of improved machin-
:y. The consequence of this was the
i educed cost of production, and this re
duced cost was in a few yars -.elicited
l.j a fall in the price of silver compar
ed with gold. Rut during the last decade
concentrated effort has been going into
the production of gold, exactly its it
went into the production of silver some
Jo years ago. This incer.trated effort
has been, and is now, reducing the
cost of producing gold. With the re
opening of the South African iine3
and a continuance of the process of
reducing the enst of producing gold, its
alue as a purchasing commodity will
d- line. It is impossible to say to what
- xteiit the value of gold will decline,
Nut a writer in the August number of
the Engineering Magazine thinks it
probable that .luring the next twenty
years the decline will amount to j0
per cent. He adds: ' Whatever nu-.y
l.i the extent of this decline, we may
be quite .ei tain that it will be consid
ciable and will continue for a number
or" yeais. We may thc-refoie say that
in the immediate future prices will be
si.it.d in units of continually reducing
value. In other words, it will '.ake an
increasing amount of gold to pay for
articles w hu ll have a uniform value."

for it with interest, for it means a gn at!
deal to the farmer. Just think of pay-;
ing $1 a bushel for corn, then feedioe
part of it to a hound: I' takes '.., '
pieces of tn-cii'l to U-e.l a dog one year. '
if he is a big dog that amounts to i!4 ,
bushels a year. And for what? Why
lie in tile shade while you work.
1 once had a fine clog trained to do I
many useful things. It was generally!
believed he was a valuable possession. ;
but one night he killed 1 head of fine :
sheep for me. That is how valuable
this nic e clog was for m-v
That whs eight years ago. and since

Notice,
Judge Jackson's Decision
Van.
T. M.
A :
At least Judge Jackson is just the
sort of juc"ge that certain corporations
like to have on the bench.
If the power of injunction hasn't been
abused it isn't Judge Jackson's fault.
From the Detroit News.
Details of the injunction, for viola
tions of which "Mother" Jones and oth-i
er w orkers in the cause of the West I
liginia coal miners have judged guil
ty of contempt by Judge Jackson. show
it to be the most astounding assumption
of arbitrary and unlimited power that !
the c ountry has seen since the dec. lara-! Rrooks'
tion of independence was signed.
It is evident from his utterances from
the bench that Judge Jackson Is a bit
ter partisan and wofully prejudiced
against all unionism. He condemned
it wholesale in his attempt to bolster'
up his order, and the necessary Impli- I
cations of his language are that he '
would condemn any union movement ;
and all union officers. In effect he leg
islated into existence a large number!
of oppressive and impossible laws, and
then punished men for v iolating their j
impossible provisions. It is incredible tract, which stake is
that such action will be sustained on east 3 poles from saic
appeal, and, in the meantime. It Is char- ' thence south 7 degrees . .-
