Souther Stock flatus! and Under, writers lasaranc Companies On the 19th of January, tha two Greensboro fire in-rarsnoe companies, Southern Stoo-Mutual and Under writers, Uelared dividend o their pollcy-hoMers of 20 pr cent. The scrip certificates have not been delivered hs heretofore for the follow ing reason. Last year prompt deliv ery w&i made and policy-holders were enjoined to "attach to policy and de posit in place of safety"; but a few were lost or misplaced, and the mana agers have concluded to hold the scrip la their possession from this time on and assume all rtik for their safekeep ing. As the scrip mature they will be presented for endorsement and will then be redeemed. Any policy-holder who prefers to hold his scrip at n!s own risk, can get it by calling at the office of Wharton & MoA lister on court square. We have just seen a copy of an at tractive publication recently made by the maaagers of these insurance com panies, which shows among other in teresting data that in the last four years they have returned overt20,000.00 in dividends to their policy-holders. This publication contains such testi monials as the following: Lancaster, S. C, Feb. 4, 1899. During the last two years certain properties in which I am interested have been insured In the Southern Stock-Mutual Insurance Company, of Greensboro, N. C. The dividends re ceived from the company have amounted to 1105.40, representing the amount saved by insuring in this com pany. Signed LeBoy Springs. Charlotte, N. C, Feb. 0, 1899.

These companies are assuming pro portions and wielding an influence which our people did not dream of when they made their modest begin. nings. We doubt if Greensboro has ever projected anything better. Long life and prosperity to them. MEETING OF THB ALDERMEN. el filar stIsm Importance Transacted Last Night.

JBattle fell down senseless soon . after' drinking the liquor and died before a physician could be summoned. TTTT.T.nn AN OLD NEGRO. Weldon, N C. March 10 -The ne gro troops, Tenth Immunes, who pass ed through here last evening, behaved in a most disgraceful manner. At the point of pistols they forced John Bat tle, a worthy colored man, to drink seven glasses of whiskey. Battle fell down senseless soon after drinking the liquor and before a doctor could be summoned he was dead." The riotous troops also forced their way into stores and saloons and fired at a switchman. The negroes killed a fine Jersey cow belonging to a poor woman soon after leaving Henderson. The greatest in dignation Is express d at their action here and elsewhere along the llae. ANOTHER MAN NEARLY KILLED. Henderson, N. C. March 10 There came near being a battle here yester day wht n the negro troops (Tenth Im munes) passed through on their way to Washington from Maron, Ga. They displayed thelri pistols and whiskey bottles in about equal num bers, drinking from the one and pop ping away from the car windows with the other. An old man named Crozier came near being killed A .very valuable Jersey cow near the edge of the town was shot dead. ' As the train pulled out a regular fusillade was fired from the cars. Had the shooting occurred nearer the center of town, our citizens would have risen and the resuJU would have been more serious. It is reported that Mr. Carter, who owned ths cow that was killed , tele graphed and had the train stopped and the negro who shot the cow ar rest d. The troops on the second section of the train were not so disorderly. THE flAKING OF LITERATURE." fir. Page's Lecture at the Normal Last Night. North Carolina has one son in the literary world of today of whom she juBtly feels proud. No North Caroli nian has, in recent years at leat, risen to such a place of honor and popularity, in literary circles as has Walter H. Page, of Moore county, who is now editor of the Atlantic Monthly, one of the leading magazines of America. A Greensboro audience had the pleasure, at the State Normal and Industrial College, last night, of hearing him for the second time, and as was expected, the chapel was packed by a select and intelligent audience. Mr. Page lectured on "The Making of Literature," a grand subject which he dealt with In a grand and knowing manner. To quote from the lecture, w!thout quoting at length, would do the brilliant Carolinian an injustice. Throughout, his words were laden with rich thought, expressed In a terse and catchy way, holding the rapt attention of his audience and frequently draw ing a hearty applause. Mr. Page spoke but a few minutes more than an hour, and a very short hour it seemed. After the lecture- Dr. Mclver announced that the ' audiance might remain in the chapel another hour and spend the time in social en joyment. A large number of people met Mr. Page during that time.

Q. on each tablet. - HAS DROPPED OUT Of SIGHT Ex-Congressman Martin Moves On The Quiet 60NE TO THEIR COUNTRY HOMES Senators Prltchard Butler But They Will Visit Washington Frequently During The Recess. Special to Tn Tsubqram. Washington, Mar. 11 So far as can be learned all of the members of the North Carolina delegation have re turned to their homes, or to other portions of the state. The only mem ber who cannot be accounted for here is Ex-representative Martin, and at his boarding place in this city no one seems to know whether -he is in North Carolina or Washington, but as he oannot be found the presumption is that tie has returned to the state. Mr. Martin, it will be remembered did not come to Washington at the beginning of the session of congress and did not put in his appearance until after the holiday recess. He now appears to have entirely dropped out of sight again, so far as his friends in this city are concerned. Senator Butler and wife left for their home early in the week and Senator Prltchard has removed, with his fam ily to his country home at Marshall, North Carolina. Representatives Fowler, KItchin , White and others are all in the state. Senator Pritchard who has much business in Washington to be attended to announced before leaving for Marshall that he would return to Washington shortly, and would come to this city very often during the recess of congress. Sena tor Butler, will also, it is expected be in the city at intervals during the sum mer and fall, as he has much hece to occupy his time and attention. The only two members of the present dele gation who have been re-elected are White and Kitchin. The latter will, it is stated, be a frequent visitor to the national capital during the interval before the assembling of the fifty-sixth congress. Several of the private secretaries of the members of the North Carolina delegation are still in Washington. About the best known of these young men is Mr. Hyams, thesecretary to Senator Pritchard, who has made many friends since his residence in this cily. Ho will remain in Wash ington during the greater part of the time before in 3 asseubliog of con gress. It was otated at the whito house the other day that the appointment of a judge to succeed Judge Ewart mi . ht not be made until the return of Presi dent McKinley from his trip to the home of Senator Hanna, in Georgia. If this is the case the appointment may be delayed for two or three weeks. The impression among North Carolina people is that Ewart will be re-appointed, though it is not absolutely certain. It was stated yesterday that the petition of Senator Pritchard, which was referred to early in the week, instead of containing the signa tures of forty-six senators, who would have voted for confi mation, had the names of only forty-five senators, which would have been exactly one half of the senate, and would have left the deciding vote with the a ice president had a vote been reached by the senate. In some newspapers the presumption seems to be that a minority leader in the house of representatives is "elected." This is an error. The minority, as in the case of Mr. Bailey two years ago, nominates a candidate for speaker of the house, which nom ination carries with it the right to be recognized on the floor by the speaker, as the leader of the minority. The contest is not to be strictly a contest for the minority leadership, but is for the democratic nomination for speaker. It is believed that most of the North Carolina democrats will support Rich ardson, of Tennessee. At the disbursing office of the house of representatives it is stated that all the claims in connection with ithe funeral of the late Representative Dingley have been paid. The clerk, Mr. McDowell, says the bills were very low, only a trifle over one thousand dollars. Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: William H. Simmons, Bennett, An son, vice J. E. Jones, dead; R. M. Norment, Lumbarton, Robeson, vice John H. Wishart, removed; N. H. Holland, Pinkney, Wayne, vice E. S. Dees, resigned; Louisa J. Maxwell, Solitude, Ashe, vice John B. Lewis, resigned; William A. Blane, Surl, Person, vice E. B. Lunsford, dead. Special service in North Carolina has been discontinued at Gale, Ashe county, from Algiers, to take effect March 31, J. H Bell, of Newbern, is in Wash ington for a few days and is stopping at the at. James notei. tie is accom panied by bis wife and child. Among other North Carolina people in Washington are E. D. Stanford, of Yadklnville, and James Kyle, of Wil mington. The former is registered at the National hotel and the latter at the St. James. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News From Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau ) High Point, N.
