Entered at the Postofflce, New Bern n. C. as second-class matter. Section One, Tuesday, Men. 11, 1008 PROTEST AGAINST ARBITRARY INSURANCE RATES. The stand taken by the State Fire In sarance Companies at Greensboro, ajalnst the advance of twenty-fiye per cent In fire rates, recently Inaugurated by the Southeastern Taiiff Association, !s a matter of immense Importance to the property Interests of North Caro lina. The advance of 25 per cent in Are rates by the Southeastern Tariff Asso ciation, upon nearly all kinds of Insura ble property, Is certainly not justified by the fire losses incurred in this State. compared with the premiums received by the companies. About two million dollars Is the amount, which shows in favor of the companies, for the risks they have taken In North Carolina, during the past three years. Yet with this amount In their favor, and with every town and city taking additional precautions against fire;, the word has gone forth, to add to the already high insurance rates, 25 per cent more. The action taken by the Greensboro companies, is one which means much to every Insurer. It also shows the tremendous advan tages and saving to those who must insure property, if every city had its own local company. Then with a State organization, there could be fixed some equitable basis for Insurance rates, that would mean benefit to the companies In the way of renumera tive returns for their risks taken, and the Insured would get fire insurance pro tection. and not feel that an occasional fire would prove a blessing, to reimburse him for having to pay excessive pre miums. It may bo that the Greensboro com panies may get into a "war" with the outside companies, because of their re fusal to advance their fire rates, but they will find their business largely in creased by reason of the position they have taken. And their action will lead to still fur ther results and benefits, for those who mast insure, in the establishment of more State companies, and thereby the employment of home money, and the keeping at home of some of the millions of dollars now sent abroad. There is no equity in any State hav ing to be assessed by fire Insurance com. panies, to make good the fire losses in other States, as the Tariff Association is now attempting to do. TOBACCO BEFORE COTTON. The price of cotton at the present time in the local market, at eight and and one half cents, is an attractive one to the farmer, and may cause many to become all cotton raisers, to the neglect of diversified crops. However this cotton advance may af fect other sections, the farmers of this i ectlon of Eastern Carolina are not being Influenced into planting cotton before everything else. In fait all the Journal's advices from the adjoining half a dozen counties are to the effect that tobacco is going to be the principal crop planted this season. There will be some cotton planted, but the acreage promises to be less than last year, or previous years. The reason for this change In favor of tobacco, is simply duo to the fact that tobacco pays at least four times more per acre than cotton. : ". .. Cotton Is In a sense a lazy man's crop, while the cultivation and curing of to bacco requires patience and' Intelligent skill. But the farmers are willing to take the trouble, if it may be so called, with tot bacc), as their labor receives a rplendid reward per acre. And as for a money trop tobacco is found to be equilly as good in xchsnge for money, a cotton, being always ready of sale In the market. - ' ' 5 . . .,-,((1'! HIn GREATER TNMVIDUAl AND COJfMUNITT GROWTH. Individual Isolation tends to dwarfing, while, contact with others serves to sx pand, mentally, and if proper associates are made, to increase themorel aide of the person. Isolation In bualnese, where the mer chant does not make public the charac ter of his goods or profession, through advertisement or personal solicitation, means the gradual sinking away of all trade. The City, State or Nation, which seeks to stand aloof from all outside Influences of development, progress and advance ment in the latest modern sciences, will soon fall into decay, and represent noth ing of value In the world. It is the contact with outsiders, the experience which comes through varied associations, that develops the Individ-1 nal, and makes possible the bringing forth into service some of the Individ ual's Ideas, which Isolation could never do. And so with the City, State or Nation which prohibits an expansion policy on the ambition, education and Industrial efforts of its people. Local pride Is well enough, but it should not so vaunt Itself as to prevent the acceptance of ideas and the knowl edge of those outside, It Is the conception of greater achieve ments, and their accomplishment, that broadens the individual, gives greater personal growth, and drives away the fear of failure, and in its place creates the sense of superiority. Community growth ceases when Its people fail to reach out and bring In the means for lis development, siclnlly and commercially. When isolation is sought, then local decay takes place, and the affairs of the community degenerate, for it is only through friction and contact with the outsklo world, that true advancement comes, and real, solid and permanent growth Is gained. Given the unfettered Individual, free : from the dullness that Isolation Is cer. tain to produce, an opportunity to meet In contest with others, then development and growth will follow. And take away the local self-satisfied ness of a community, let It ask In .out side brains and money, and Its hidden resources will spring forth Into rich de velopment, for ambition will be aroused, and the contact and clash with others will create faculties that will produce and bring forth great growth from what was seemingly non-productive and worth less.' For it is through freedom of thought and action, the meeting with others that the greater growth is to come, to the individual .and community. How's This ?

In tho Island of Crete, It is said, a bride dressed for the wedding still calls, last of all, for a sprig of rose mary to bring her luck. Thus we come to find rosemary iu close association with both marriage and death, Just as the hyacinth was, and perhaps still la, among the Greeks. It is Interesting to trace tho connection by which the same plaut came to have two such sllf-fei-eut uses. All the Year Round. The Color of (he Bye. Thn color of tho iris Is not uniform in any ee.

Busbee, Esq., of Raleigh, who has been critically sick at his home here is convalescent and will be out in a day or two. Opinions differ as to whether there Is any cotton worth speaking of yet re maining in the hands of growers In this section. There Is certainly some. While some farmers put their cotton la tbelr yards, so it can be seen, a denier says that other growers hido what they have on hand. Miss Mattle Baker an employee of the Raleigh cotton mill sued it for $10,000 damages for an injury to her hand? which was caught In the' machinery. Tbe jury late last night awarded her $2,500 The mill appeals. 'I he Spanish trophy cannon lately placed In the State museum, has been cleaned and painted, after having been mounted.

Lively Tobacco Competition Ex- pected. Richmond, Va., March 0. The an nouncement that the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain is to become an active factor in the Virginia and Carolina tobacco markets attracts wide attention among tbe members of the trade. Today 'there are possibly 15 or SO prominent Virginia and North arollna tobacco men hern to confer with Mr. Wollford Reed, tbe newly appointed to bacco purchasing agent of the British corporation. Some of the best Informed tobacco men here say that the fact that this concern has determined to purchase here will bring about a lively competi tion with tbe American Tobacco Com pany and a war of rates Is somewhat ex pected by tbe buyers here. Danger of Colds and LaGrippe. The grettest danger from colds and la grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care Is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the "tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneu monia, wblchjshows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that danger ous malady. It will cure n cold or an attack of lagrlppe In less time thsn any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by F. S. Duffy & Co. Hiss Roosevelt Not to go to Corona ; . ' tion.
