PLEDGES OF REFORM ITNKEPT.
A ReUglous Paper' View of the Record
of
the Legislature.
Statesvule Landmarlc.
The f ollowingextracts are from theBib-
hcal Recorder Df last week. We especial
ly commend them" to the consideration
of that class of persons who from ignor
ance or viciousness do not or will not
believe what Democratic papers say of
the work of the Legislature. The Recor
der is, as everybody knows, religious
newspaper, the organ of the Baptist de
nomination in North Carolina, and a
paper that can have, no interest what
ever in misrepresenting the facts. It
says: :
"The children are poorer for the
work of this Legislature. Less money
than they have been having will be left
when the large, appropriations to other
objects (less needy and contributing far
less to the common good) ; have been
drawn out. And the Treasury, already
$60,000 behiiiid; will probably be a great
deal further in arrears when the next
Assembly comes from the people, to
succeed that which now faces them.
"A law was made to let the public
printing to lowest bidder: but when a firm
of the wrong i political affiliation made
the lowest bid, it was given to another
firm. ; This stands out so clearly that
he who runs inay read.
"The six per cent, interest law is the
one pledge religiously observed ; and it
could be kept only by the severest strug
gle. W hue we think it is a timely ex-
periment, we do not think its wisdom is
unquestionable. Building and loan as
sociations were finally protected by ,
law that enables them to collect princi
pal and interest monthly. A banker
can do likewise. Of the other two

The Southern Stock Mutual Insur
ance Company of North Carolina ; was
chartered by act of the lately adjourned
Legislature, with a - number of the
strongest men in the State named as in
corporators, and began business with,' its
central office at Greensboro and agen-
cies all over the State. A number of its
agents were the agents also of compa
nies embraced in the Southeastern Tariff
Association, and as the Southern Stock
Mutual did not propose to cut rates, but
to conduct itself upon apian of amity
with all other companies, it proposed to
the Southeastern Tariff i Association to
pro rate certain local : expenses with it
and the proposition was accepted. A
little later however, it received notice
from the Tariff Association that it had
reconsidered its purpose, the letter from
the Secretary going on to say that in
view of the rebate clause in the scheme
of the Southern Stock Mutual it had
been resolved not to co-operate, with it.
This was followed by notices to its agents
throughout the State that they must
not act as agents of the Southern Stock
Mutual.
Ail this has but one meaning, and
that is that a North Carolina Company
must not compete with the Southeastern
Tariff Association for North Carolina
business under penalty of its boycott.
Its agents are to be coerced, if possible,
and it only remains to 'be seen how
many of them, who are agents for both,
will submit to the coercion. ; xne metn
od adopted xf holding the North Caro
lina business for itself, and driving tne
home competitors out of the competi
tion, is a thoroughly characteristic trust
proceeding, and it will be surprise to
to those who think they know: tnera
well if the people of North Carolina do
not take this matter up and resent ,this
arrogance as it deserves.
