The "Southern" of Kuoxville is the old
est and by far the largest general association
in the south, and is also tne largest associa
tion in Americ.
It has 600 bra mhes in 18 states. It is, in
effect, a ltagae cf 500 local associations. All
these association must f il bafwe the asso
ciation can fail. Therefore, failure is im
possible.
The "Southern ' has turned over from the
expense fund to the loan fund (172,000 in
five years. No other association has even
approximated such a lecord.
The actual running expense per share is
less than in any other association, and on
cash handled much less than the majority
o; the large financial institutions of the
country.
The feature of an unapportioned reserve,
providing against losses and insuring tha
perfect equality of all stockholders, will be
appreciated, for the interests of tne many
cannot be sacriticed for the benefit of a few.
The by-laws forbid the sale, or the use as
collateral security, of any of the securities
belonging to tne association, and require all
securities to be kept on deposit in the nam i
of the association with the State Treasurer
or. approved trust companies.

Doable Suicide In Johnston County.
A few days ago J B Wall, of John
ston county, went to the residence of
J H Cook, bis son in law, five miles
from 8el ma, and committed sulotde
by shooting a pistol bullet through
his head, using Cook's pistol. He
showed no sign of insanity, but just
before the suicide spoke in the usual
manner to Otok's wife, his daughter.
Cook yesterday bade his wife good
bye.as If he were going away, but in.
stead took the sane pistol Wall had
used and at the same hour took his
life lii precisely the same way. No
reason can be assigned for either
suicide, as both Wall and Cook were
in comfortable circumstances.
