A CHALLENGE!
A GRAND SHOWING MADE
BY THE SOUTHERN.
Here are Some Facts for Busi
ness Men to Read.
One member of the "Southern"
Raleigh Branch ha paid $750 in
monthly iustiliuenU, and can to
morrow, if he wants to, withdraw
$906.25 a clear profit of $156.25.
Show me any other association win
cau beat this.
Another member who had paid $312
and wanted hid money, got it and
$67.05 more than he paid in. I Hold
this atock right here in Raleigh
didn't even have to withdraw it and
the party who bought it made $75.00
in ctean'uaah as to maturity. He
promptly said, "give me ten more
shares and started again; and he is
one of the best business men and owns
property up into the thousands.
Sensible man none like the Southern.
Another took small stock but 1
mention it to show you that the South
ern's stock can be placed as cash at a
' few moments' notice. One of our Ka 1
eigh members, wh had only paid iu
$12.00, wanted to borrow $10.00. He
was accomodated and only gave liis
stock as security (to a private party.)
LISTED.
Another party wanted $200 a few
days ago. I placed his stock, which
is drawing 10 per cent interest, us
security and got him $200 for ninety
days, at only 8 per cent, which is a
net profit ol 2 per cent, to him, even
during loan. 1 challenge any asso
ciation which can do as well as the
Southern to deny these facts.
Now, did you ever own any stock in
other Building and Loan Associations
and try to dispose of it and get left,
and take less than you paid in ? If so,
I simply mention these facts to show
you, as a sensible man, that it is to
your interest to be in the "Southern."
I can show you some stock which has
been running three years and on
which $123.50 has been paid in and
on which the Building and Loan offers
$111.68. Isn't this liberal. Suppose
this same stock was in the Southern of
Knoxwille, what would it be worth iu
cash today? $142.02 $18.52 more
than was paid in. None to equal the
Southern.
NO BETTER NONE AS GOOD.
The best and safest investment that
can possibly be made. I will leave it
to your good Bense. Call and see for
yourself. I will show you over 100 of
Raleigh's best citizens who have sub
scribed to Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars worth of the Southern's stock.
I will show you an investment of one
of Raleigh's best financiers and one' of
her wealthiest citizens, who has $1,000
of paid-up stock. "Planked down the
cash" at one time, and considers it one
of his best and safest investments.--"!
will show you 50 shares of stock taken
by another of Raleigh's best citizens,
one who you will acknowledge knorfs
how to invest and where to place it.
He pays $30 per month and in seven
years will have $5,000, and will only
have paid $2,540. "Are you in it ?" If
not, and "don't want to get left," call
and take five, ten or twenty shares.
Hold. 90 shares to three men since July.
"They will have it," and walk up and
take it; don't even have to look them
up. You never hear, or ever will, of
anyone giving up the Southern for
any other association, but I can give
yon some "eye openers" of those who
have come out of otuers ana tasen
Mock in the Southern.
The Southern does not loan on its
stock, but if you want any money you
can get every cent you have paid in
and interest besides. Recollect you
never lose anything in the Southern.
You cau draw out in six months if you
want to, and if you want to re-enter
you are not charged one cent addi
tional; after paying one admission,
von (TO in free afterwards. You can
withdraw at 10 per cent interest ad
ditional to your monthly payments
after stock is twenty-four months old.
Show me a better or safer investment
and I will recommend it. Believing the
Southern to be the best means of your
saving something and paying you a
handsomer profit (75c. per week will
carry five shares, and in seven years
you have $500) than any any other in
, vestment, I cheerfully recommend it
to the citizens of Raleigh as safe, sure
and secure. Three million, five bun
dred thousand and six hundred dol-
lars deposited as security for its
stockholders. What more can you ask ?
Where can you find as much? Call on
C. C. McDonald and get some Of the
Southern literature which fully ex
plains, ao that a child can understand.
No wild cat attachments. No evasion
offsets. Issues a statement every six
months showing to a cent how much
your shares have earned, how many
shares sold, .how much has been paid
in on each share, how long in force,
Ac. If you hear any one criticising
the Southern's statements "spot him"
and I will show yon his "ear marks"
and make his cheeks burn with shame
by showing him up and letting others
' know him as he only knows himself.
THR SOUTHERN,
of Knoxville, Tenn.

Help Needed.
On the old Telfair place just be
yond Pullen park a couple of Russian
deitcnnt live. They have a family of
six small children, the oldest of whom
is ouly thirteen years old. The mother
has lost her reason aud the father is
helpless from rheumatism. Oue of
their neighbors was here today, seek
ing aid for the family. He says all
are in a pitiable condition and suffer
ing terribly from want. It is almost
a case of starvation. These people, it
is said, are deserving and before
trouble came upon them were indus-
rious andnelf-supporting. Their
neighbors, who would gladly help
them, are all poor people who are un
able to do so. It is to be hoped-that
some of the charitable in Raleigh will
look into the matter.
The State Sunday School Con
vention.
Next week the state Sunday school
convention will be held at Durham.
i'he Durham Globe says that from the
opening address by bishop W. W.
Duncan, of the M. K. church, Tues
day evening, to the closing address by
bishop Rondthaler, of the Moravian
church, Tuesday evening, the pro
gramme of the convention is replete
with spiritual and intellectual feasts.
Much of the best talent of the state is
represented, aud celebrated Sunday
school men from abroad will be
present and address the convention,
while Mr. William lteyuolds, interna
tional field superintendent, will make
himself felt by hopeful instruction and
suggestion at all the sessions.

tend. Resides the home talent, which

promise of assistance from several

raid on a negro gambling den. The
keeper of the "hell" was Osborn
Brown. Albert Briggs was the only
one of the patrons who fell victim to
the officers. Both are in jail to await
the next term of court. The parapher
nalia captured in the raid consisted
of a box of poker chips, several packs
of cards and, last but not least, a set
of dice designed for playing that game,
irresistible to many negroes, "craps."
There are many "crap shooters" here.
Reply to "An Explanation."!
Correspondence : Mr, W. H. Rogers
sees fit to charge me with refusing to
sell him chickens on account of what
I owed him. In reply I say that Mr.
Albert Blake never asked for the
chickens in Mr. Rogers' name and
I refused to let him have them. If
Mr. Rogers had sent for them he
would have got them. Mr. Blake
took the chickens out of the coop af
ter being refused credit, while I was
in my stall and no one was outside to
represent me. ' Wash. Hawkins,-'..
Political Points.
It is said there will be a conference
here tomorrow between republican
and populist county leaders to ar
range an equitable distribution of the
nominations. Rumor has it that the
republicans are to have D. H. Young
for clerk, Tip Wynne for treasurer, J.
C. L. Harris and James H. Young for
the legislature, and Davis, of New
Light, for the senate, the populists
taking the nominations for sheriff, reg
ister of deeds and probably coroner.
Pamlico Still winning.
Pamlico yesterday won, at Terre
Haute, a race, the purse of which was
$2,400, beating Azotte, who up to yes
terday had never lost a race or even a
heat. The race commenced Tuesday
and was postponed until yesterday
with Pamlico two heats and Azotte
one. Azotte won the first heat yes
terday in 2.09 1-4,- but Pamlico won
the last heat and the race in 2:10 flat.
The track was exceedingly heavy or
the time would have been phenomenal.

the academy of music for the coming
