C, Dec. ;2S. Special. The following important announcement has been authorized by the officers of the Southern Stock' -'Mutual Insurance Company and the underwriters of Greensboro: 'While the year 1001 has been in some respects the most successful year in the history of the Southern Stock 'Mutual Insurance Company and the Underwriters of Greensboro, for reasons given -below a change of policy in the matter of dividends to policy-holders has become necessary, and public an nouncement of this fact is proper just as we enter upon a new underwriting fear. " "From-1895 to 1900 our dividends to policy holders were twenty per cent per annum. In November, 1899, .he Southeastern Tariff Association mads a sweeping reduction in rates, confined to North Carolina, on dwellings, churches, school 'buildings, and public buildings, being: just those preferred classes to which w had largely con-ined our un Berwriting up to that time. The reduc tion amounted to 25 per cent in the .imaliet towns and S3 -1-3 per cent in the larger towns. After this reduction was jnade, and in spite of it, we paid two lividenda of 15 , per cent per annum: ut after meeting the reduced rate3 for v:o years, the niauagememV finds that jho divid-ena on the business of the year 1901 will bo materially reduced, and is f the opinion that for the future it, will reduced rates on preferred classes are raintained, and until further notice, we lesire that our North Carolina agents hall not hold out the policy holder's lividerid as an inducement forbusiness. rho dividends earned on all policies issued up to December 31,; 1901, will be jaid fit maturity. " "Our friends can readily understand ifcat it will be injudicious to continue onger to pay dividends to policy hoM irs when our premium from every pre ferred risk is from 25 per cent to 33 f-3 er cent less than it was when we were laying 20 per cent dividends. We are laying the dividend anu more, and will ontinue to do so in the reduced rate, (t is well understood by all, notwith Itanding certain efforts to disguise it, ihatit was our dividends to policy hold Irs in the face of relentless opposition hat brought about. the redncedf rates in CoTth Carolina, and that the resultant enefit and saving to the people of forth Carolina amounts to more than !100,000 per year. And besides this, he Southern Stock Mutual and the Underwriters of Greensboro have paid bak in uividends to policy holders not less than $50,000. We believe that the people "6f North Carolina will remember these things, and we shall now set our selves to the task of building up the assets of the Southern Stock Mutual and the Underwriters until they have become North Carolina's strongest finan cial institutions. These companies have added more to their asset, surplus and emergency funds driring the year 1901 than in any previous year, and wiH enter upon the - next fiscal year with assets aggregating over $300,000. The fiscal year ends January . 1st, and the annual statement of each company will be published at the usual time early in January." , Tue above- announcement will recall the relentless fight against the local fire insurance companies by the South East- kern Tariff Association. The giant com bination has been "baffled at every turn, with the result that the home companies have come out of the struggle with a national reputation and have achieved an unprecedented success. These com panies have advertised Grceusboro far aud wide; they have gathered, in from North Carolina and invested at homo t.ho:isnru7r? nnnn Jhoiicsnrls rtf r-o'lirn wise have gone to the aero. They havo re turned in dividends to the property holders of G reensboro abou t S10,000 and have secured for them n reduction in rates on pre'erred risks, which will zntn a saving of ;not less than $3,000 a yar or all time to come. Greons'boro is ..justly proud of these companies for what they have done for her. They havo achieved great things; tbey have made Greensboro the fire in surance center of North Carolina.

The city fathers had a very interest ing meeting last night. After attend ing to several matters 'of minor irapor tar.ee the fun begau when Alderman Denny, of the streej committee, asked that the matter of grading and paving South Elm street be taken up. Objection was made to takisg the matter up, but Alderman Denny held his ground and finally offered a resolution to the effect that the Southern Paving and Construc tion Compa-ny V bid f or paving the street be accented. After a great deal o discussion tho entire matter was again referred to the street committee. Mr. J. R, Jeffreys, a member of the police force, was" elected keeper of the city market. - - - Mr. Wm. H. Crow has returned from Greensboro. Goldsboro, N. C, Dec. 28.Special. There is a cold rain falling in Golds boro today cr.d the prevailing bad weath er has curtailed the usual supply, of news and somewhat chilled the ambition of this correspondent to give the i-eaders of The Post an eloquent aftermath of Christrnastide. We had the article al most dripping from our f pen point and while the rain may not be welcome, still it may be considered a fortunate occur rence for the readers of The Post. At any rate we have delayed the matter too long and have lost the inspiration. The "glamour of soft lights and jingling glasses, visions of a fat turkey and pal atable sauces have all faded froai our memory with the approach of such weather, and now we have only a faint recollection of Christmas. While the scene was -in full blast, .when the festive bowl was holding high earnival, we felt as if we could write volume after volume on the subject and never tire or lack fo- ornnt tlerrrptions' with which tt begin each chapter, .but today we have to gaze into space for a considerable Jtime in an effort to collect our thoughts before heing able to frame a, sentence. "Oh, what a difference in the taorningr' It is true there is no news to write today and wo shppose this is one of the times that our friends whom we meet in the street expect us to run in some of the" stale4 jokes which they tell us and 'which t&ey rqally expect to;ee iu print. Wo , have a . eon! possessed wi th much patience, long suffering and great forbearance, but some of the witticism told us by people who expect such things printed requires greater fortitude than we now possess. Uur stock, of such stale, stuff is already a burden.' But suppo.se people throughout the country. They J we wcre to publish some of the funny stones we are toiu aooutf j ne oignuy of the paper would be insulted, the repu tation of the author would be ruined and the thing in print Avould look so tame to the man who told it that he would be tempted to go-off-and hang himself Be careful about what you ask a newspaper ma.i to publish. lie has to deny you a great many times an self defense. When you contemplate having one of your jokes published, write it off at night, go to bed and sleep well, get up next, morning and read it with a clear brrin 'and a steady eye, and if it is not too tame, and if you are not ashamed of it, then send it In to the editor or the correspondent and Tequest an opinion. This is another one of those ugly days which brings to mind the sad need for a passenger depot for Goldsboro. Pas sengers have to alight from thetrains in the rain and mud and make their way to the sidewalk through the slush and try to gain an entrance to the door of the small waiting rooms.'' which arei tilled with .travelers both white and col ored, mostly colored, however. We be lieve that if the railroad aurhm-itfes were to pass through GVldsboro on such a day a passenger depot would soonbe erected. . ' This correspondent had much of a talk this morning with a friend sitting by the fire in the office of the Hotel Kennon. Our friend is a great admirer of the female sex and some of his remarks are produced because they ara worth the while. He said: - . v "But whatever man may say, the truth of the ages stands that woman governs the world. Man may believe that he does, but woman knows that she con ducts affairs mundane, and wherever the issue is analyzed the ' truth shrfifes out that the hand tjiat spanks the baby is the hand that rules the world. The hand that with cool ; touch, def (; .as an angel's skill, soothes the fevcred. fa.ee, smooths the rough pillow of pain, and with infinite tenderness closes the eyes whn life is spent, is the hand of God's last, best and brightest gift to man woman. The. hand that pens the violet scented mipive, tellftg of a sacred tryst, is the .hand that traces the broad line between tha heaven, and hell of a man's life. .,-The hand that caresses as none other can is the hand' that - blesses the nation, is the hand that Titles the world; whether by clubs or othetwlse-Mbherwise if possible, but by clubs if necessary." . IN MEMORY OF ? - - ENSIGN BAG LEY Vase Presented to Mojher of the Officer Who Fell at 1 .

What is that?' ' . - ' "A woman mysteriously beaten with the seat of a piano stool." "Oh! I thought it was a fresh" scandal about some Senator." Cleveland Plain-dealer. DuVham, N. C-, Dec. 2S. Special. The remains of the late John Morgan Geen who was burned to death at the home of his brother, James R. Green, in Mt. Airy, arrived in Durham this af ternoon and were taken to the home of C. B. Green.clerk of the Superior Conrt. The funeral will be conducted from Trinity Methodist church tomorrow af ternoon at .30 o'clock ; and the inter ment will take place in--the city 'ceme tery. The manner in which he died was a most horrible and shocking oae. He had been uuwell f or a, day or so and on last . Sunday morning was left alone in his room. .The stove was very hot and while standing close to it the deceased had an epileptic - attacknd fell across the stove. In his nncon scious condition he placed his . arms around the stove pipe, which wa '-almost red-hot. His mother, who' was below; heard him fall and. hastened to TT71 1 . 1. i -m .

It was then iound that John Mor gan Green had fallen across- the stove and thep to the floor. He was burned In a horrible manner. "His wrists were' almost burned :in two, one side of his face was badly burned. The fles on one side of his body -was. cooked' to the bones, and he, was otherwise burned about the neck. From the first it was .known that he coidd not, recover, the physicians thinking that he -could not. live but a short while; He died yester day morning at 2 .o'clock. - A telegram ' received "from .Carteret Lodge, where the-Durham party us so journing for a week or so, says that Alderman W. T. QJBrien and Miss Florence Roney, bptE of , this city, killed a deer yes'terday afternoon on the first hunt. s Great" interest was manifest here to day in t-c finding of the body of Miss Cropsey yesterday. Since the report )f the coroner's jury the prevailing opinion here is that Wilcqx caused her death. Jiiverything in connection with the case is read with great interest, There was a runaway marriage at the Central hotel last night about 8 o'clock. The contracting parties were George Griffins, and Miss IJlaiia Klarm. In securing the license they said that they were from Pennsylvania and tojd one of the guests at' the hotel that the young lady had been on a visit to friends id' South Carolina and met Mr. Griffins In Raleigh yesterday. The groom posi tively refused to give the newspapers anything about himself, or girl, and re fused to give his name, but the informa tion was secured from the officiating justice of the peace. Today it is learn ed that both of the parties live in Ra leigh and that the groom is a telegraph operator. It is supposed here that they intended keeping their marriage a se cret and it was for this reason that in formation was refused. They returned to Raleigh today. . . William Brodie, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Alston, died at the home f his parents in Cleveland street this morning. The interment took place in the city cemetery this afternoon.
