The following article was taken
from the Baltimore News:
I "When you leave your job and our
home town be sure you have a real job
jn some other town," said Andrew Neu
ebauer, 23 years old, who with his
Wife and two children were given shel
ter by the police in the Central Police
station last night and this morning were
delivered into the care of the Federated
Charites.
Neugebauer was a teamster in New
Vork, but became dissatisfied with his
position and from reading advertise
ments that sot forth how much money
eould be made in the South, he scrap
ed some money together and took his
wife and one child to Roxboro, N. C,
where he secured a position in a mill.
"The first week I worked I only made
27 cents in real money," he told the
police. 1 'We had to buy all our provis
ions from the company's store and had
to rent from tham. Then one week I
only made 6 cents and the next week I
got one cent over expenses.

Something New in Life Insurance
. llie Southern Life and Trust Company, of Greensboro, N. C,
nas introduced something new in life insurance, much as that subject
has been worked and studied by men of the sharpest wits. This com
pany has introduced a free annual medical examination of its policyholders.
Dr. Louis G. Beall, of Greensboro, N. C, assistant medical
director of the company, spent several days last week in Roxboro,
and viciiiit.y, giving examinations to the company's policyholders.
1 he mutual advantage of such an examination to both the 'company
and the policyholder is obvious. While the examination is optional
with the policyholder, and in no way effects the contract in force,
by taking it some fatal disease may be detected in its incipiency,
when treatment can arrest it, and preserve the life of the policyholder
many years. The company wants a living policyholder, not a dead one,
and every policyholder wants to be a living one. The company offers
aid. Get the drift? Postnoned denth
increased dividends, low net cost. Just here is where the Southern Life
& Trust Company excels.
In this connection, it might be added that out of the 258 life
insurance companies in the United States only two have yet aeopted
this feature of giving free annual examinations. There is a differ
ence, and the Southern Life and Trust Company seem to have found
it. The wonder is that all insurance companies have not found it long
ago. To the intelligent seeker for life insurance the contracts offer
ed by this company appeal with peculiar force.
For some interesting facts regarding the company's methods
call upon or address,

stores in other towns, andl believe
that our stores will compare fav
orably with any, and are not the
filthy places that Bro. Boone would
have the people believe they are.
1 believe we cannot be too careful,
but to publish to the world that our
stores and places of business are as
filthy as pig pens, is carrying it
rather far, and is untrue.
Bro. Boone might make a good
health and sanitary officer for the
county, but in my opinion, he will
be more successful as a minister
of the Gospel, if he will be a little
more careful about how he slan
ders the good people of Person
County.
I hope it is Bro. Boone's inten
tion to help us, and anything he
can do to help, we will 'appreciate,
but he must remember that there
is a right way and a wrong way
to reach people, and in his zeal to
help, we fear that he has over
stepped the mark. Marcus C.

Letter From The President.
My dear Colonel Long:
It is a matter of sincere re
gret with me that I cannot be present
at the unveiling of the monument to the
Women of the Confederacy which vou
are proposing to unveil on May tenth
next. The fortitude, the capacity for
action, the devotion and sweet faithful
ness of the women of the South to their
homes and the interests which they held
most dear, deserves and commends the
admiration of everyone who has had
the privilege of reading the tragical and
and heroic records of those years of
struggle which once so unhapily divided
the country, and it would afford me
genuine pleasure to lay my humble
wreath of admiration upon a monument
erected to commemorate such nobility.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.
Col. J. A. Long,
Roxboro, North Carolina.
The above letter was received by
Mr. Long in answer to an invita
tion extended by him to Mr. Wil
son to attend the unveiling of the
monument mentioned.
