A Card. Ton are reepeetf ally warned Dot to take the statements of any B St L Association that promises better term than the Southern for each state meats can't be substantiated. Be ware of those assoeiatloas that prom ise so much and have nothing to sho w f or the same. We have facts right here to Raleigh, which prove all that we claim. No B & L Assooia tlon whose charge Is 60c per share can mature its stock under seven years. The Southern is the oldest association In the sooth and the largest in America, and from its ex perienoe in its five and a half years of business confidently expects to mature in seven years. The Southern's expenses are less per share than in any other assocla tion, and no other association has btter facilities for maturing stock nor can any other association max tare its stock under seven years time at 60c per share. We sell paid op stock at $30 per share of $100 anc pay you 10 per cent interest on same from time you take stock until its matarity after you have been in 9 years, ion can withdraw this paid up stock (same as getting it out of bank) in six months it yoa want to and tret 6 per cent interest. We challenge any association to show in print or by "gift of gab" a better or as safe an investment. Re collect the Southern has $3,508,600 in stocks, bonds and mortgages deposit ted as security for its stockholders that can't be used for any other par. pose, f confidently believe and know that any investment in the southern Is as secure and safe as in any bank in Raleigh or elsewhere. Sales of paid up stock, $679,843. Apportionment of profits on same $161,631 20 to January 1, 1894. Bale of installment stock, $1,877,964. Apportionment of profits for same $580,472 to January 1, 1894, Assets January 1, 1894, $4,201,330 52. Loans in North Carolina to January 1, 1894, $88 500. Loans in Raleigh to date, $7,000. If you want a safe, sure and secure investment no other excels the Southern of Kuoxville. Cost of 10 shares in 7 years, $508 at end of 7 years you get $1,000. Your net profit, $493. Gall on U O McDonald, secretary and treasurer Raleigh Branch, for Information. P S I forgot to mention one very Important matter to you. Suppose you have 10 shares of stock in any of the following companies and have paid, in 12 monthly payments of $6 each on same and want to withdraw at end of year, illustration: Am't paid in 12 monthly payments at $6, $72 00 What do yoa get back? Am't p'd into loan fund, $60 00 Interest for average time, 1 80 61 80 You only lose first year, How is in the Southern? Am't paid in 12 monthly payments at $6, What you get back: $10 20 172 00 Am't paid in loan fund, 60 00 Am't paid in to Ex. fund, 12 00 Interest for average time, 1 44 73 44 More than you paid in $1.44 And only eleven and sixty-four one hundreth dollars more than you get in these other associations. Suppose we figure on 2 years on these other associations : Am't paid in 24 monthly payments at $6, $144.00 What do you get back ? Am't pd. in to loan fund $120,00 Int for average time 7 20 127 20 Yon lose in 2 years $16.80 flow is it in the Southern ? Am't paid in 24 monthly payments at $6 $144.00 What you get back : Am't pd. into loan fund $120.00 Am't paid in to Ex. fund 24.00 In't at 10 per cent for average time 14.40 158.40 Yoa get back more than paid in $14.40 Which is just thirty on dollars and twenty cents more than you get in thee other associations in two years. Is this not worth saving? What do yoa go into Building and Loan Assoo ciationsfor? Is it not for profit ? What is the difference in the South ern of Knoxvllle and these other as sociations? Simply this: We pay back in case of withdrawal all that is paid in the loan and ex PENse fund with interest and they only par back what is paid into loan fond. Example : Each share is 60c. per month 50c goes into loan fund and 10c into expense fund. We pay back the 60c and they only pay back 50 cents on 10 shares. My friend, you save $1 per month in case of withdrawing by being in the old reliable Sort hern of Knoxvllle. For fair and square dealing take stock in the Southern. Call and see me and if I can't substantiate all that I have Baid in this card i will orf eit 10 shares to any one who can convince me that I am in error. I know what I am "giving you." In the Southern no loan no pay. Yoa don't even have to take stock before yoa get the loan. Yoa can pay for your stock out of money loaned in case of a loan. Don't be roped in with promises of a loan and get left. Yoa cau't get yoar money back. I have misplaced my list of associations that only pay back what has been paid into loan fund, bat have com m it ted them to memory and will give uam to yoa for what they are worth on application. ' I will venture this statement, that nine people out of ten who take stock In those associa tions which only pay back what goes Into loan f and don't know their con tract. 1 have ran across only one, and I have wen several of them, who did not think he would get back all of bis monthly payneuts with in terest. You never were more sadly mistaken in your life, my friend, and if you live Ion? enough will soon be a wiser man. Where yoa pay in $3 on S shares yoa get back $2.50, and where you pay in $3 voa get back $5. In the Southern when yoa pay in $3 you get it all back and when yoa pay in $6 you get it all back. I suppose that the Raleigh public is sufficiently educated on B St L to know that the admission fee is not returned In any case, but after paying admission once it is good in the Southern for all time to come.

Claudius Os trom, 10 years old, has a natural enthusiasm for baseball, and he threw his ball over the fence into broker Charles H Griffins yard. The broker caught young Ostrom and gave him what he describes as a -'spanking." Dr Harmer L Ostrom, the boy's faths er, brought suit against the broker for $10,000 damages for assaulting his boy. The case will be tried at the coming term of the supreme court. No Hope for Agreement, Cleveland, O, May 18.-This is the gloomiest day of the big coal confer ence and possibly it will be the last. The miners and operators, before the convention was called to order .seemed as far apart as they ever were, and at the hotels where the operators are quartered the belief seems to be gen eral that when evening comes the conference will end without the con ferees having reached anything ap proaching a settlement. . His Death Omened by a Big Rat, New York Herald. Superstitious old women residing in and about No 111 Charlton street were sagely wagging their heads last night and attributing the violent death of Michael Kilbride to the fact that a large rat ran up the leg of his trousers a week ago and was killed by him. He was eighteen years old, and had been employed for the last year as an elevator boy by the Mount Morris electric light company, corner of Greenwich aDdVandam streets. The elevator is used to cairy freight, and is open except for a single guard rail that runs about it from the cor ners. There is a small ledge two feet wide between the elevator shaft and the wall on the Vandam street side. Kilbride went up to close a window on the third floor shortly after six o'clock last night. When he stepped off on the narrow ledge to close the window he dH not fully stop the ele vat or. It moved slowly up about four feet while his back was turned toward it. Turning round quickly, he made a step to get into the elevator, which he thought was flush with the ledge. He went down the elevator shaft, and struck the basement floor on his head, breaking his neck. "While standing on the corner of Hudson and Vandam streets, just a week ago tonight," said policeman Carroll, "a big rat ran up the leg of Kilbride's trousers. It reached his thigh before he could catch it. He grabbed it by the head from the out side, and choked it to death "All the old women in the neigh borhood and the companions of Kil bride told him that it was a sure sign of death, but he only laughed at them." E very-body is going, are you? Where? Why to the Guilford battle ground with the Central 8 S. When are they going? Why text Wednes day May 23rd; haven't yoa heard about it? No, what is the fare?' Only $1.25 for adults and 75 cents for chil dren. But can I stop in Greensboro and hear Congressman Bryan speak? Why, certainly; lots of people will do that. Well then, I will have to go and take my family. That oily and rough skin cured and the face and hands beautified by Johnson's Oriental Soap; medicated and highly perfumed. For sale by John Y MaoRae.

A Woman's Losing Her Job Causes It. Atlanta Journal, 18th. It is very fortunate for Frank Cole man, a prisoner in the Jasper county jail, that Ellen Fears lost her job. Else be might have lost his life today in a very humiliating, not to say un just, manner. Coleman has always had a fondness for dancing, like many others of his race. To this is traceable his trouble. He attended an affair of that kind last fall He had a partner and also a rival in the person of Bill Smith. Unfortunately for the peaceable re lations of the trio, the woman trod on Bill's toes. Naturally he quarrel ed with her escort, and securing the assistance of .his brother attacked Coleman. It was a long wished for opportunity. There had been bad blood between them for a number of months. The two brothers, one armed with a pistol and the other with a razor, finally started in to end their oppo nent. He got the drop on them, however, and shot in rapid succes sion. One was killed, and the other lost his lower jawbone and numerous teeth. There was but one witness. The woman involved had fled, and Ellen Fears had come up at the time the fatal shots were fired. Coleman was tried in March. Ellen had gone to an adjoining county to take a position as a domestic. The prisoner was lacking bis witness. His protests that he had onej seemed flimsy. His claim of self defense was not substantiated, and he was con victed and sentenced to hang May 18, That's today. At 10 o'clock this morning Coleman would have expi ated his crime upon the gailows. All the preparations to that end were made. Very luckily, Ellen lost her job Tuesday, and went back to Mon- ticello. She heard of the doomed man's predicament, and told what she knew of the affair. As the wo man bore a respectable reputation her version fixed the whole matter. J Application was immediately made for a respite, Here was another pem culiar state of affairs. The governor was in Dallas. Yesterday afternoon he came home j use in the nick of time and as soon as the matter was presented to bim he granted Coleman a lease of life until Jane 15, in order that he may receive a new trial.
