THE ISSUE IN THE STATE.
The three cornered G abernatorial
fight in North Carolina is waxing
very interesting as it progresses
and speculation is rife as to what the
result will be. There are plenty of
people who are equally comfident of
the election of Watson, of Guthrie
and of Russell respectively. For
our part we would rather witness
the election of Hon. Cyrus B. Wat
son as Governor of No Ah Carolina
than that of any other candidate
before the people, whether on t,he
State or National ticket. We have,
however, apprehended that the Re
publicans, especially the colored
i voters, will not stand by Russell,
; but will at the final bidding of their
. leaders, when Russell's election is
found to be an impossibility, go to
Guthrie in order to defeat the Demo
cratic candidate. We trust, however,
? that this will not be the case, and
- we also hope that the bare possibility
of it will weld the Democrats of
the State closer together on Mr
, Watson, and that they will let none
of their differences on the national
issues divide them on the State
ticket. If there is one thing that
, we place above another it is the im
portance that the affairs of this State
shall be conserved by such men as
have for years past made Democratic
, .government a credit and an honor
to this commonwealth. It is higher
than free coinage and all other
panaceas, and we hope there will be
.no halting or faltering among the
Democracy which has heretofore
kept North Carolina in safe hands.

attained remarkable results, and a

i Why is it that the Raleigh Branch
oi the Southern is lending no money
in T- Raleigh or In " North
Carolina? Simply 'for the protection-
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 building and loan plan.
As our Supreme Court has decided
several times that they CANNOT
the answer is no. As long as a bor
rower pays building and loan associa
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 RISE 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 safely 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 friends by lending
them all they want, but it can
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 6 per cent
and in North Carolina will find) the
Southern confidently expects to ma'
ture stock between the eighth and
ninth year, judging from their earn
ings in the past and the outlook for
the future. So those who have stock
in the Southern can rest assured
that no RISE will be 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
era in North Carolina. They will
have to look 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 bad better use it, as he can
make asmuch 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. Remember, 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 squarer 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, liet tneir 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
ustly so, for these slick-tongued
fellows could not sell their stuff, if
they did, not MISREPRESENT
same. . Show me a man in Raleigh
who has been a member of the South
ern and withdrawn and l will
GUARANTEE that he will recom
mend it to you s

Our banking room has been enlarged and refurnished;
A NEW VAULT,
which is entirely lire proof and burglar proof, has been added. The doors
controlled by combination, automatic and time locks, built by the Miller Safe
and Iron Works, of Baltimore, and superintended by Mr. J. M. Mossman, of
New York, an expert in burglar proof work. In this vault we have placed
SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES
of the very latest design, the convenience of which can not be appreciated un
til they are seen, and all are invited to see them.
The renter of the box has the key, and no one can gain access to the
contents of the box without the presence of the renter, and if he. should lose
his key, the finder could not gain access to the box, the contents of which can
be known only to the renter. There is ample room in the boxes for the filing
of deeds, valuable papers, wills, bonds', stocks, etc., and perfect security in
obtained for very moderate cost.
Convenient and private rooms have been provided for the exclusive use
of customers in the examination of papers, cutting coupons, etc.
We have an excellent vault in addition to this fine burglar proof vault
for the storage of boxes and packages.
Everyone interested in beautiful workmanship and most delicate mechanj
ism are cordially invited to inspect the new work.
