Here axe Some Facts for Busi ness Men to Read. On nieinoer of the "Southern" Raleigh Branch has paid $750 in monthly Instalments, and an to morrow, if he wants to, withdraw $906 25 a clear profit of (156.25. Show me any other association who can beat this. Another member who had paid (312 and wanted his money, got it itml $67.65 more than he paid in. I Hold this slock right hern in Raleigh didn't even have to withdraw it and the party who bought it made $75.00 in clean cash as to ' maturity, lie 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. AUK oU MORTGAGED ? Have you been paying interest for several .tears and still owe the same? Don't you want to pay off your mort gage and not miss the payments? 1 will let you have the money and give yon seven years time and only charge yon 0 per cent interest. Call on C. 0. McDonald. Did yon know that it is a fact and pa n't be contradicted that when yon borrow money from some II. & L. As sociations you agree to pay monthly until stock matures and in this way will pay between two and three hun dred dollars Moiie than you w ill pay if you call on C. 0. McDonald, who will give you a definite eoniraet. Ymi kno.v exactly to n cent what yon may ei cct to pay and you make so many pat meiilri and no more. LISTEN. Allot her party wanted $200 a few days ago. I placed his stock, which is drawing 10 per cent interest, as security and got him $200 for ninety days, at only 8 per cent, which is a net profit of 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. Mow, did you ever own any stock in other Building and Loan Associations and try to dispose of it and get left, and take leas than you paid in ? If so, 1 simply mention' these facts to show yon, 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 Knoiwille, what would it be worth in cash today ? $142 02 $18.52 more than was pakl in. None to equal the Southern. NO BETTER NONE Art tt'OI. Tht best, and safest investment that can possibly be made. 1 will leave it to your good sense. 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, I will show yon 50 shares of stock taken by another of Raleigh's best citizens, one who you will acknowledge knors 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 Ave, ten or twenty shares. Sidd 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 any one giving up the Southern for any other association, but I can give you "some "eye openers" of those who have come out of others and taken stock in the Southern. The Southern does not loan on its stock, but if you want any money you can get every gent you have paid in and interest besides. Recollect you never lose anything in the Southern. You can 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, you go 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 (75u. per week will carry Hve shares, and in seven years ' yon 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 hun , dred thousand and six hundred dol ' lars deposited as security for its stockholders. What more can you ask 1 Where can yon find as much? Call on C. C. McDonald and get some of the Boutnern literature wnlcn rally ex plains, bo that a child can understand v No wild cat attachments. No evasion. of facta.

Win? .-a I. . committed suicide I hi if Greensboro, in. uning by lerping from the new ity hall at Richmond. He was a prominent, wealthy and influential cili.-ii, and was about U.'i years of age. He was a native of Person county, but had lived in Greensboro for the last twenty years. At one time he was internal revenue collector of the western dis trict. After the term of Gov. Scales had expired he and Mr. Wiustead or ganized a banking company undes the name of the Piedmont national bank, Governor Scales becoming its first president and Mr. Wiustead being cashier. Upon the death of Governor Scales Mr. Wiustead became presi dent. The bank is in a good condition and busiuess troubles bad nothing to do with the suicide. Mr. Winstead leaves no family but has a brother, C. Wiustead, who is also in the bank- ng busiuess at Roxboro. He was the stepfather of Mrs. Branch Merrimon. The city hall is a very lofty build- ng and fronts on Broad street, its rear facing the capitol square. The ofty clock tower is on It road street, and is nearly 200 feet high. The News and Observer issued an extra this afternoon about the horrible af fair, which says Mr. Wiustead jumped from a point 180 feet above the ground. In falling he struck an iron railing which extends around the building and wis disemboweled. Both legs were torn off and were left hanging only by shreds. He had on his per son money and bonds amounting to about $9,000. No papers were found giving the cause of the suicide. When he approached the janitor of the building he appeared to b laboring under great mental excitement. In falling he came near striking a negro boy who was passing along Broad street and who looked up to see the time of day and saw the body in the air. Mr. Winstead arrived at Richmond last evening and was stopping at Ford's hotel. The tragedy occurred about 8:15 o'clock. Mr. Winstead first pulled off his shoes and coat and threw them down.

The following men com pose the Raleigh team: Brinig (cap tain), Crawford (manager), Taylor, Mills, Primrose, Briggs, Malone, Lit tle, Pope and Mabry.

Several games have practically been arranged, and as soon as Athletic park is 'n condi tion the dates will be announced. The games so far in sight are with the uni versity law school ,two games, Wake Forest, two games, and a return game with Henderson. When they are played Raleigh people should encourr age their team by a large attendance. Political Points.
