TOIRROW OUR HOIE CGflPANIES Qlvtn tbe Credit for Reduction In Insurance Rates. The following resolutions, adopted by the Greensboro Inddetrial and Im migration' Association, show what the people of Greencboro think of the re eent redaction of in urance rates by the Southeastern Tariff Association It will be noticed that the credit for the benefits of such reduction is gives to the Southern Stock Mutual and Underwriters of Greensboro, and that these oompanies have saved enormous sum1 to tbe people of North Carolina. Read the resolutions: Wuerea, the South Eastern Tariff Association has recently issued a ne schedule of fire insurance rates, waee by rates are reduced from 25 to 33-3 per-cent. , and whereby it is estimated that a saving will be effected in the cost of insurance of not less than $100, 000.00 per annum for the State of North Carolina and not less than 95000.00 per annum for tbe City of Greensboro; and Whereas, North Carolina is the only southern state in the enjoyment of these low rates, having been favor ed by the South Eastern Tariff Asso ciation beyond all precedent; and Whereas,' the reduced rates are ap plicable only to dwellings and public buildings; and Whereas, the Southern Stock Mu tual and Underwriters of Creensboro, N. C, confine their operations chiefly to North Carolina and their under writing principally to dwellings and publio buildings, and have for several years been returning annually to their policyholders dividends of 20 per cent to the great satisfaction of tte public Be It therefore reeolved by f e Greensboro Industrial & Immigration Aesociatian: First, That the thanks of this com munity are due the Southeastern Tar iff Association for the liberality dis played. Second, That we believe that the policy of the Southern Stock Mutual and Underwriters insurance compa nies In paying dividends to policy holders has been the chief influent. e which has secured to the people of North Carolina this substantial bene tit, ard that it is in recognition of tbe advantages offered by these companies that tbe liberal reduction on the part of the South Eastern Tariff Associa tion has been made Resolved further, That it is the sense of this Industrial & Immigration As sociation t at these Green-boro-insurance companies have directly and in directly been tie means of saving to the people of Greensboro many thou sands of dollars, and that the publio can do no better tning tnan to loster such institutions which relieve the community from a position of depend ence upon outside companies and com binations. REPUBLICANS MEET. Executive Committee la Session Mere This Afternoon. Tbe 6tate executive committee of the republican party are in session in this city this afternoon. About a dozen of them are here. Two of tbe most prom inent figures are Senator Pritchard and Congressman Llnney. Judge Ewart was here this morning and went to Washlngtan at noon Tbfs meeting was called ostensibly with a view to hxing the time and place for holding the next republican state convention- As we go to press tbe committee is still in session, but Chairman Holton tells the Telegram it Is practically decided that the con vention will be held on the nd day of May in the city of Raleigh. He fur ther says that the committee meets at this time solely for tbe purpose of fix ing the time and place for the conven tion. J. M. Moody, of Waynesvllle and Sheriff Jones, of Wake, are among the prominent republicans here. Official Statement.

INSURANCE ONLY FOUR THOUSAND The Fire- Fiend Works Further De. st ruction to Proper y 01det nanufactory Consumed The old year went our with a big fir in Greensboro. Tbe new year was ushered' In wlth.one. The burning of ihe wholesale sxjre of the Hagae-Mc-orkle Dry Goods Company and the Original Racket store on Dee. 31st wis recorded yesterday. Juit before five o'clock yesterday, Jan. 1st, the aLarm was again sounded and Sergeant's Foundry and Machine Shops were discovered to be in flames. The firemen quickly responded and worked heroically, but the main bu Id ing was a sheet of flame when the wa ter was turned. on and doomed to tot&l destruction. The offlce next caught and was licked up. We dislike very much to criticize the fire department or any of i officers, but it is generally agreed that the burning of the office' was the result of bad management. The first stream of water wes turned on a little, compara tively worthless, shanty near the center of the main building on tbe north side and kept there for ten mlnu'es. At that time the fire had not reached tbe extreme end of tbe main building next to the office, and had all efforts been directed to that point tbe office oould have been saved. 'j he again when tbe engine was brought down there was much time Ios'j in connecting and getting up steam, so that by the tlnre the engine was effective the offlce was gone and all that coud be done was to save the foundry building standing north of the office. We are not call d upon to ay who Is to blame, but It was beard on all sides that the offlce building could have been saved Tne fire was caused by a spark from the smoke stack, which ignite J the building between the joists and the rcof and a stiff northern wind fanned the flames into qu ck fury. LOSSES. AND INSURANCE- Sergeant's foundry was by far the oldest manufactory in Greensboro, having been established in the sixties It was owned and operated by three men who are among the best citisns in the land Mr. B. E. Sergeant and two sons, George S and Will T Ser geant. They were doing a splendid business, having Just olosed a most successful year and had orders a long way ahead. This calamity is a severe blow to them, and they have the sym pathy of the entire community. The property destroyed, lnoludlng building, machinery and patterns, tbe accumulations of 30 years, amounts to about 923,000, with only 91,000 Insur ance. 92,000 of this amount is with the Greensboro insurance companies and the other 92,000 with New York companies. About 910,000 worth of property Is. left, Including the land, the. foundry building, patterns and. accounts. The sa'e, which contains the book and papers, is lying in the ruins, but it is presumed its contents are safe. Mr. Geo. S. Sergeant tells us that It Is their intention to rsbuild as soon as possible. WILL ADD NEW MACHINERY. Tbe Oreenboro Fu.nlture Company Reorganizes The New Officers. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Greensboro Furniture Company was held yesterday afyr noon and showe a very satisfactory year's work. The former efficient sec retary and treasurer of the company, J S. Cox, Qnding his titae so occu pied that he could not give tbe faotory the attention required declined re-election, but consented to sot as presi dent, to wbioh position he was elected. Mr. J C. Murchison, whose resig nation as master of trains on the Coast Line, and return to this city was announced in these columns yester day, was elected secretary and-treas-urer. This is a splendid selection. Mr Murchison enjoys the entire con fidence of the business publio and is a young man of rare qualifications. He will not allow the business to drag for UclE oi energy. We congratulate both the company and Mr. Mirohison. So satisfactory was tbe report of tbe year just closed that it was decided to add new m -ohlnery and Increase the capity ot the plant. Skilled Eye RtfractlonUts. The above headline can be, without any doubt in pur minds, justly applied to Drs R. L. fnd E H. Moore, 112 E Market street, who located In Greens boro, as our readers are aware, about two months since. The mere fact that tbey have done a good business from tbe start, in adjusting glasses, steadily increasing ach week, fully corrobo rates their claims that tbey adj-ist right glares at right prices. Many of fur best people have already aval'ed themselves of the skill of D-s. Moore, and not oi e have we heard sa- a word ocl.v In praise of the glasses they re ceived Th doctors return their heartfelt thanks for such liberal patronage and promise one and all to give the very best service possible during the new year by using first quality material and fully guaranteeing all work. We bespeak and wish for them a very suc cessful iear. CONGRESSMAN LINNEY. His Friends Say Opposition Talk Will Not Prevent Renomlnstlon. Special to The Telegram. "Washington, Jan. 2 Southern mem bers of congress, and southern people generally, are much interested in tbe efforts whleh are to be made to secure from the federal government tbe re funding of money derived by the gen erSf government during the war be tweep the states, from sales of prop erty (eotltn) under what was known as the "Capturtd and Abandoned Act." The Initiative in this move ment to secure tbe return of the money thus derived to the legal claimants has been started by Governor McSweeney. of South Caro Ina, who has enlisted tbe support of the governors of all tbe southern states of -the union. Upon the reassembling of congress tbeefforts in this direction will, it is stated by southern members now In1 Washington, be made in earnest. It Is probable fhat the lead in the matter of sfcurin the refunding of tne money will be taken by the 8ouih Carolina senator' and representatives, although tbey Will rely upon the support of the dele gations from other southern states as well. Tbe governor of Florida has I enlisted tbe support of the Florida i members, and it can be stated that all of the Florida delegation will respond c leerfully to the request of Governor Bloiham, and will support any meas ure which may be introduced in con gress to this end. Whether a bill, buweve-, can be passed through con gress during tne present session ic largely problematical. Upon Inquiry being made at the capltol the other day it was stated that a bill for this purpose has not been introduced, but It probably will after congress meets again. The Gridiron Club left oo their trip for the south Sunday afternoon at 4 O'clock. About forty members of the club accompanied the party. Only a few senators and oonredmen were on the special train, when I'- pulled out of the Pennsylvania depot, among them being Senator Tillman.. The club anticipated upon their de parture a pleasant trip to Charleston. The weather W;hen they left Washing ton was very cold, the temperature here having been below the freezing mark ever siqco Wednesday of last week. Upon their arrival at Charles-! ton, (hey doubtless found tbe change in temperature very great. Many of the party in anticipation of this pro- Tided against the dangers consequent of a change of climate at this season of the year. Many of the club who would otherwise have gone on tbe journey were somewhat afraid to do so, and stayed at nome on uus account. The club is assured of a warm re ception in Charleston, as the citizens of the town have been arranging for their visit for some time past. The club expects to return here Wednes day mornlnff reaching the Pennsylva nia depot about tf:30 a. m. It was rumored in the south the oth er day, as is learned rrom soutnern newspapers that the Royal Benefit So ciety, a company which issues a large number of insurance policies to both white and oolored people in, the south, particularly In, such states as Virginia, Ifortn and, South Carolina, Mississlp- 1, Texas and Florida, was Insolvent. nquiry was made at the offlces of the company wmcn are tooatea at tne Washington Loan & Trust Company Building, and the rumor was found to be entirely false. Tbe standing of the company in Washington is sound. Among the changes recently an nounced by tbe Southern Railway Com pany, it is stated that the line between Spartanburg Junction, South Carolina and Biltmore, North Carolina, will be operated after Jan. 1st, as a part of the Ashevllle Division of the.

SOUTH AFRkJaN QUESTION. A Highly laterestlnr and Instructive Lecture. An appreciative audience hea-d Mr. r'. L V n Noppen last night at tbe Methodist church on the South African question The speaker gave a brief historical view of various efforts of the Boers to establish an Indepeudent government oftbeirown How s pioneers they trekked farther and farther into the African wilderness, overcoming wild beasts and worse still, great hordes of African savages, and just as they be- come established in tueir new home, here would come the armed forces of the British to tsjca their land and home away from them. Mr. Van ?oppen then entered upon the causes of the present war and showed very olearly that the rapacity of Rhodes and his associated capital ists on the one hand and the personal polltioal ambition of Chamberlain on the other coupled with a desire to make all South Africa a united Brit Ish territory were the real causes and not the affected grievances of the Uit landers. For if th"! latter had been thecause an 1 not a pretext, why did not Eng land accept the South African repub lic's promise to institute all the re form demands on condition that Eng land recognize th . republic as an in dependent government which was guaranteed them by the treaty of 1884., and which treaty Chamberlain was ig noring. Tbe audience were in entire sympa thy and gave him the closest atten tion A Brilliant Reception.
