ftli TT .... tr. . I
ineriuns-vismiK nas never ap
prehended that the Populists would
favorably consider the proffer of t he
Democratic committee for a fusion
in this State so long as theVe was a
living chance of their forming a com
bination with their whilom allies,
the Republicans, and the develop
ments of Saturday, which mean a
repetition of Populist-Republican
fusion, arc nothing more than wc ex
pected and predicted mouths ago.
It is the sorry attitude in which the
Democratic party in the State has
placed itself that causes us chagrin
now, and that caused us to pretest
when the overtures were being
made. Wo knew then that there
was nothing to be gained by it po
litically and that the only practical
outcome of the action of the Demo
crats would be their humiliation
without any of the balm of emolu
ment. It has come to this pass, but
we forbear to say any of those
things which might be said in the
light of recent developments. Wc
protested against the unseemly ad
vances which were being made
looking toward a Democratic and
Populist marriage, ami pointed out
the certainty with which it would
be rewarded with stones and scor
pions instead of loaves and fishes.
Now that this has' been realized,
there is food for relleetion and that
is about all we willgetoutof it. The
present aspect of the political chess
board does not showj any hope for
Democratic success so far as we can
see. The signs of the times point to
Republican and Populist fusion as
complete and solid as we had it two
years ago. It is anything to beat
the Democrats, and we pointed this
out several months ago when we de
clared that the Populists and Re-
- publicans were out for spoils and
that they would again fuse to take
'the offices out of the hands of the
' Democrats. The latter need never
have taken the sweet unction to
'their souls that it would be
ise. Now the Republicans
arsed the Populist nominees
: exception of Governor and
sr, and it is the understood
that they will tacitly vote for
, Guthrie for Governor and Mr.
yer for Auditor. Mr. Russell will
on the Supreme Court bench,
ti-Dockery is slated for the United
i Senate while Mr. Henderson,
republican candidate for Auditor, i
Will be provided for. If this pro
gramme is not carried out something
similar will be agreed upon but it
will not look t j the admission of any
Democrat onto the winning ticket..

Why Is it that the Raleigh Branch
of the Southern is lending no money
in Raleigh . r or . in . North
Carolina? Simply for the pro
tection of her investors. Ask
any one lawyer or citizen if ANY
building and loan association can
lend money SAFELY in North Caro
lina on the budding and loan plan.
As our Supreme Court has decided
several times that they CANNOT
the answer is no. As long as a bor
rower paysbuildingandloanassocia
tions are all right. When he stops
then trouble begins. Building and
loan associations who lend money in
North Carolina are taking risks that
no SAFE business man will take.
You can promise a borrower that he
will have to make only so many
payments and he is safe. You can
promise an investor that he will
only make so many payments and
his stock will be matured, and the
promise amounts to nothing. How
can any building and loan associa
tion GUARANTEE maturity when
they are depending on their earn
ings, and this is all they have. A
building and loan association who
lends money in North Carolina un
der our laws will just take 15 years
to mature their stock.
THE SOUTHERN
does not RISK lending their mem
bers money. It is loaned only in
those States where the courts up
hold our contracts. It is carefully
placed as fast as paid in and every
cent is safelv loaned on city real es
tate, first mortgage (churches, school
houses, livery stables and hotels
positively not taken); so you see how
careful they are. I would like to
accommodate our frienl by lending
them all they want, but it can't
SAFELY be done in North Carolina.
The Raleigh Branch of the Southern
is now only an investment branch.
If she were to lend money here it
would be to the interest of every
member to withdraw his money.
Why'.' Simply that it would take
about fifteen years to mature stock
(mark the prediction, this is just
what those who lend at C per cent
and ia North Carolina will find) the
Southern confidently expects to ma
ture stock between the eighth and
ninth year, judging from their earn
ings id the past and the outlook for
the future. So those who have stock
in the Southern can rest assured
that no RISK will bo taken in lend
ing out their money, but it will be
safely invested. Those who want to
borrow can't buy stock in the South
ern in North Carolina. They will
have to hxk up some association
who cannot safely place their funds.
To the clerk, laborer, mechanic and
business man who has any surplus
to spare (if a business man can place
all he has successfully in his busi
ness he had better use it, as he can
make as much as any building and
loan association) the Raleigh Branch
of the Southern is the association
you are looking for and McDonald
will be glad to give you any infor
mation desired. Rememhej, after
making six monthly payments,
should you be unfortunate, you can
withdraw every red cent you have
paid in and come back for nothing
when you get able to make your
payments again. You can find
nothing fairer or sjuarer than this.
We don't lend you a PART of your
money, but you can get all of your
money. Don't join ANY building
and loan association until you have
carefully examined into same. Ask
for PROFITS paid those who with
drew. Get their names and you
will find in nearly every instance
that the Raleigh Branch of the
Southern was the one who paid the
profit. I am tolerably well up in
building and loan and will cheer
fully give any information desired
as to the Southern or any other as
sociation.
I KNOW
that no building and loan associa
tion is superior to the Southern and
few are equal. It is just and honest
with the unfortunate member who
has to withdraw and can with a
clear conscience try to get him back
and nine times out of ten does. How
is it with those associations who
only pay back a part of what has
been paid in? Why, the poor fellow
feels like he has been robbed, and
justly, so, for these slick-Ion gued
fellows could not sell their staff if
they . did not MISREPRESENT
same. Show me a nun in Raleigh
who has been a member of the South
ern and withdrawn and I will
GUARANTEE that he will recom
mend it to you .v .' -'
