Ia order to bring into Raleigh mum
surplus cash I have made irrtDga
tueuts to secure loans for thoHe who
seed money and can't get it injbis
way. Several thousand do! Urn lent in
Raleigh already. Read:
The peculiar advantage of the En
dowuient plan ia in the conven
ience and certainty with whi. h a
debt may t paid off.
Auybody with sufficient credit or
security may be a Me to incur an
obligatiou to pay $1,000. Rut the
trouble ia that when the debt falls
due he still owes the $1,000, and
in moHt. cases it is then as difficult
to pay it as it was when the debt
was created.
The Endowment plan solves the
question "How to pay the prin
cipal of your debt."
The Company makes loans for either
seven or teu years.
Kvery borrower is obliged to carry
an Endowmeut poli y, which will
mature on or before the d:iy hi.
loau I ec mien due.
The Kndowiiient ami the lu.-ui both
being for se.eu years, the pay
ment of the Endowment ana1 lex
the borrower to pay off his loan
the day it becomes due.
Should the borrower die before the
end of the seven years, the life in
surance payable under the En
dowment policy goes to reduce or
repay the loan. If death should
occur at the end of three years.
. the life insurance would pay off
'. ' more than half the debt iu thin
case the balance of the loan would
remain on the property' at 6 per
(ieut. interest until the end of the
seven years.
The life insurance under a seven
year Endowment amounts to the
face of the Endowment after six
years, and under a ten-year En
dowment after eight years.
Merest.:
The interest on loans is sis per c-n:
per annum, and is paid in monthly
instalments. Thus on a loan of
1 XX) the monthly interest is $5
To secure the loans and interest the
Company requires a first mortgage
on real estate worth double the
amount of the loan.
Cost.
The following table shows the total
cost per iiiont of a loan on the
Endowment plan:

Trinity Tries Another Man.
Some time ago the V 11 Ton told of
the flattering offer Mr. Zeb Andrews.
Raleigh's heavyweight, had received
from Trinity college to play football
there the -coming seasons. Mr. An
drews, for reason best known to him
self, refused the offer. Trinity seems
determined, however, to get good
players whether they go to college
or not. so her footballists have recent
ly been corresponding with Mr. It. O.
Fry, a 240-pounder, who has for sev
eral years been the "centre rush" of
the Wake Forest team. An offer was
made him of tuition, board and all
necessary expenses, with $25 a month
thrown in. to play on the Trinity team.
Mr. Fry doubtless lo.es Wake Forest
but filthy lucre prevailed and he left
yesterday for Trinity. The other
state colleges had better keep their
eyes open as Trinity seems to have an
unlimited quantity of "dough."
Many persons drive out to the
spring west of l'ullen park, which Mr.
Pullen has recently opened. The
water is deliciously cool aud of re
markable purity and the location at
tractive. Mr. Jabez Myers was on the streets
of Charlotte yesterday aud for several
hours was greeted by his friends. The
News says he plainly shows the .aarks
of the suffering he has gone through',
but is now 011 the mend rapidly and
will soon be himself again.

Esq., counsel for Hawkins, stated that

to do but postponed the case to con
