Gaston W. Ward, Druggist. THE UNDERWRITERS MUTUAL A New Fire Insurance Company Organized Last Evening, THE CAPITAL STOCK $80,000. Fifty Per Cent of Capital Stock Paid in The Officers and Directors. In response to a demand from the insuring public, The Underwriters Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized in this city last evening. The capital stock is $80,000, fifty per cent of which was paid in, cash. This demand is for increased insu ring facilities on the stock mutual plan. The stock mutual plan of insu rance has been given much prominence and made popular by the persistent hostility of the Southeastern Tariff Association. The agents of. The Southern Stock Mutual company claim that they are unable now to ac commodate the insurance that is brought to them, as the Southern Stock Mutual, conforming to the safe rules of underwriting, writes only a limited amount of insurance on any one building, or in any one block or locality. By the organization of the new com pany double the amount of insurance can be accommodated, and the present saving in the cost of insurance under the stock mutual plan can be doubled. The new company will pursue the same policy as the Southern Stock Mutual, will write the same class of risks and will pay dividends to policy holders. OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY. The following compose the officers of The Underwriters' Mutual: President, J. Van Lindley; Vice President, E. P. Wharton; Secretary and Treasurer, A. W. McAlister. DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY. J. M. Worth, Asheboro; R. P. Walk er, Ashevjlle; J. S. Spencer, Wbb. E. Holt, B. D. Heath, J. P. Caldwell, D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte; J. W. Can non, Concord; J. S. Carr, Durham; D. F. Caldwell, L. M. Scott, J. M. Walker, J. M. Hendrix, R. C. Vaughn, W. P. Beall, J. Y. Joyner, E. P. Wharton, A. W. McAlister, Greens boro; G. A. Norwood, Jr., Goldsboro; A. A. Shuford, Hickory; J. Van Lind ley, Pomona; W. H. Worth, H. W. Jackson, Robt. C. Strong, Carey J. Hunter, Raleigh; J. H. Ruffin, J. N. Sherrod, M. R. Braswell, Rocky Mount; H. W. Frie?, Salem. The names of the officers and direc tors are sufficient guarantee of the strength of the Underwriters Mutual Fire Insurance Company. The record made in three years by the Southern Stock Mutual, and the dividend to policy holders of 20 per cent declared last evening proves the wisdom and benefits of the stock mu tual plan. The Telegram wishes the Underwriters Mutual equal growth and success with the Southern Stock Mutual. SOME CHANGES. The Southside Pharmacy Sold to Drs. Stanley and Grissom. Yesterday afternoon a deal, which has been considered for some time, was consummated in which the Southside Pharmacy changed owners. The former owners, Messrs. Richardson & Fariss have sold out to Dr. E. L. Stamey and Rev. Dr. W. L. Grissom, and the style of the new firm will be Stamey & Grissom. Messrs. Richardson & Fariss will continue their up-town store, - while the new firm will continue business at the present stand of Southside Phar macy, and Mr. John K. Mcllhenny will continue to compound prescrip tions and dispense drugs in his usual prompt and accurate manner. We wish for the new firm abundant suc cess. Both of the new owners are well known, popular and valuable citizens of Greensboro. The Sample Brown Mercantile com pany has bought out the dry goods business bf the Cox-Ferree company, and will run both places. We under stand that Mr. T. D. Sherwood will manage the dry goods store, while Mr. Brown will-conduct his present stand, and have general oversight of both places. Mr. Brown has struggled with ad verse fortunes in the past, but by dint of pluck and business sagacity, is climbing to the top. The Telegram congratulates him and wishes for his company increased success in the en larged field. We have not learned in what busi ness the retiring merchants, Messrs. Cox and Ferree will engage, but we wish for them the highest measure of success and prosperity. ' NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News from Our Neighbor Briefly Told.

Olds writes the Observer: It is quite ttmusing to observe the way in which the governor gives the "Pritch ard Populists" the marble heart. Chas. Fagan, assistant clerk to the railroad commission, was a melancholy in stance, and Rev. Dr. Babb is another. When the latter went to see the gov ernor and asked why he was bounced without a hearing, the governor said coolly thae he did not ' 'have to find places for Skinner, men." And now these "Skinner men" are saying that when the next legislature meets it will give the governor the liveliest 60 days he ever had in all his life. Such is their language. To Cure a Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. 25c. HE WAS OF GOOD FAMILY. The Judge Wanted the Governor to Handle With Care. A shdrt time ago a sheriff was tak ing to the penitentiary a trio of pris oners sent down from one of the up country counties. One of the prisoners was a woman, one a man so badly crippled that he had to hobble on crutches, and the other was a stout young negro buck about seventeen years old, black as a rainy night on the dark of the moon, and with the traditional protuberance of lip. When the conductor took up the ticket of his shrieveship he addressed him a cour teous question with reference to his charges. The sheriff pointed them out and added with reference to the young negro that he had a letter from the judge who sentenced him to Governor Russell asking that the young negro be assigned to a reformatory and add ing that he was "of excellent family and beyond doubt if properly handled would develop into a useful citizen and become an honor to the commu nity." The sheriff was asked whether this letter tenderly setting forth the family tree of the young scion made any recommendations with reference to the woman or the cripple. He re plied that thev were not mentioned in the letter from His HenTjTto His Ex- nallonnv A HORRIBLE COLLISSION. Trains Collide Killing 15 Passengers and Four Trainmen. Special to The Telegram. Charleston, S. C, Jan. 21The Florida Special on the Atlantic Coast Line collided with the local train near the little hamlet of Ashley Junction, just outside of this city.

Second ballot McComas 40, Shaw 1, Shyrock 2, Gorman 47, Parran 3, Findlay 2, Mulliken 2, Barber 17. .To tal, 114. Third ballot McComas 40, Shaw 18, Gorman 47, Findlay 2, Parran 3, Mulliken 2, Shyrock 2. Total, 114. The effect of today's work is to leave the solution of the senatorial problem as much in doubt and the end of the struggle apparently as far off as it was before the balloting began.

Its' supposed destination is is Wei-Hai-Wei. Russia's threatening attitude toward China is the immediate cause of the crisis. The competition between England and Russia for ascendancy in Chinese affairs has reached a definite issue and will be decided within a few days or result in immediate war.
