While Evangelist Scudday of Tex
as was on the platform of the taber
nacle, at Asbury Park, recently
defining sanctification the Rev. H.
J. Ilayter of Bradley Beach jumped
up and said that the evangelist was
makiDg a mistake; that the doctrine
of Christ had no such teaching in it
"as that advocated by the speaker.
. Mr. Hayter was asked to sit down,
but he continued arguing and would
not be quieted. Finally the congre
gation commenced to sing so loud
that the Bradley Beach minister's
words were lost in the song and the
meeting came to a close. On the
outside Mr. Haytergatheredacrowd
about him and tried to explain
. how the evangelist was wrong.
Officer Tantum was sent for, and he
was ordered to arrest the minister
on a charge of making a disturbance
in a religious meeting.
Bloomers as an exhibit in a di
vorce court are a novelty, but Mrs.
Henry Cleatiug, of Paterson, N. J.
introduced them in her defense of
the divorce suit brought by her
liege lord. He wanted to be freed
from marital ties because she per
sisted in wearing bloomers and
taking long bicycle rides. Mrs,
Cleating filed a cross suit charging
lier husband with incompatibility of
temper because he didn't like her
bicycle rides. She says that one
dav lie l ushed out of their house as
she ivas returning from a bicycle
ride, seized her around the waist
aud pulled her from her bicycle. As
a consequence ner bloomers were
shattered so badly that they are of
no further use except as evidence.
Fhe also alleged that after she got
inside the house her husband se
cured an ax aud in a short time her
bicycle was nothing but a bundle of
bent wire and wheels. It will be
exhibited in court also. In mitiga
tion tof Cleating's assault on his
wife's bloomers, it should be said
that they were of a bright red color,
and they made him as mad as a bull
in front of an auction flag.

Raleigh, N. C, March 10, 1896.
" On the 14th day of March, 1895, we
took out a policy in the Southern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company of
Greensboro, N. C, and paid the com
pany 116.50 and received a return of
20 per cent, dividend, amounting to
83.30, making' total cost of insurance
but (13.20. Same Insurance in other
companies cost $16.50.

I paid $11.25 to insure my building
in the Stock Mutual Insurance Com-

would have had to pay in any other
insuranoe company, and have received
a dividend of $2.25, thereby reducing
the cost of insurance 20 per cent.

Kaleigh, N. C, March 10, 1896.
I paid $1 to insure my building in
the Southern Stock Mutual Insurance
Company of Greensboro, N. C, just
what I would have had to pay in any
other insurance company and have re
ceived a dividend of $1.20, thereby re
ducing the cost of insurance 20 per

Greensboro, N. C, April 1, '96.
Last year we paid the Southern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company
$184.50 for Are insurance. We have
received notice of dividends to our
credit of $12.30. Our policies are for
three years, and if our dividends for
the next two years are no less than
they were for 1895 ( as we have every
reason to expect ) the total Baving in
the cost of our insurance will be $36.90,
or 20 per cent of the amount paid.
This strong home company deserves
and will doubtless receive a large pat
ronage from the property-holders of
North Carolina.

NOTE If you are
a policy-holder
01 uie ooutnern stoclt Mutual Insur
ance Company, or if you expect to be.
you are interested in the profits of the
company. The larger the number of
select risks the company can secure,
the larger the profit to policy-holders.
Therefore, if your neighbor has good
property to insure, tell of the advan
tages of insuring in the Southrrn
btock Mutual Insurance Company.
Hand this statement to some reliable
property-owner who is not a policy
holder. N. B. When competitors criticise.
remember that they are competitors,
and that we are taking business from
them.
The 20 per cent, return to policy
holders for 1895 was made on the first
ear's operations, in spite of the com
bined opposition and hostility of com
peting companies and their agents
and in the face of more serious diflcnl-
ties than the Company will ever en
counter again, and it may be counted
upon with reasonable certainty that
the profit to policy holders will never
ik iess uiau a was last year.
This is the only company doing
business in North Carolina whosj
policy holders participate in the
profits and at the same time assume
no liability to assesement.
Save money by insuring your prop
erty in the Southern Stock -Mutual In
surance Company.
