SHAW Commissioner R. G. FRY Sheriff A communication from The Mason & Gardner company., Pinehurst, ex plains the 25 percent increase in Fire Insurance rates on Mercantile or Com mercial property, not of fire resistive construction, which became effective on May 15, last. This increase ap pears to be justified by figures show ing the actual experience of fire in surance writing companies in North Carolina, which prove that the com^ panies were placed in the position of either having to decline to write this class of business or increase the rates; they resorted to the latter alternative. During the five year period be tween 1921 and 1925 the ratio of losses incurred to premiums earned was 61.2 percent; add to this the ex penses incurred, amounting to 43.21 percent, gives a total of 104.41 per cent, which means that for every dol lar of premium earned they have paid out one dollar and four cents in losses and expenses. The rate increase of percent on mercantile risks, which has been th source of the greatest losses, it is estimated will increase the net earned premiums five percent, which will about offset the net loss. This rate increase does not effect residen tial property. The State Insurance Commissioner has investigated this rate increase thoroughly and finds that the com panies are justified in .taking the steps they have. LT. HENRY L. GRAVES Ranner-Up In Clerk’s Race CAROLINA THEATRES TO BE CLOSED ON JUNE 16 and 17 On Wednesday and Thursday of next week the Carolina Theatres will not present any attractions.

The next two attractions are typi cal summer fun-makers, the kind that most patrons like during the heated season. On Friday and Saturday, the well known stage farce of a few years ago, entitled *^Up In Mabel's Room*' will be presented, with an all-star cast headed by Marie Provost, Phyllis Haver, Harrison Ford and Htrry NEW AUTOMOBILE PLATES READY Licenses For 1927 Being Distri buted At San ford The branch office of the Carolina Motor Club located at the Brown- Buick Service Station, Sanford, N.
