ANNOUNCEMENT-
CAROLINA
MUTUAL
Eire Insurance Company,
fiPf!TlAI?ITTR V f!
In the little town of Athens, Ga
domiciled in a modest building, is the
SOUTHERH MCTOAL ISBCRASCK COMPANY
This company was organized in 1849.
..and has always been in charge of some
oijtne leading business men of Athens
The success of this Com nan v. which
has bee wonderful, .was 1 not an acci
dent but the result of industry, - care
and ability on the part of the officers
and managers. , During the year ending
April 30thil894, this Company received
for premiums in Georgia, where it only
aoes business, the sum of 3G0,00Q, and
for interest ram invested assets over
t4B,0t)0: the entire expenses and losses
or tne company were only 45 per cent.
or us income, and it returned to itspol
cy-holdefs in dividends 71 per cent, of
their; premiums. This Company has
paid nearly four million dollars of
losses, has saved its policy-holders three
and a nail million dollars in premiums,
and yet has accumulated a surplus fund
of about a million dollars that is so well
invested that it yields an annual income
of 5 per cent. ;
This is the Company that the CARO
LINA MUTUAL is to be patterned af
ter, and its object is, not only to save
our property owners a great deal of
money, but to keep in the South a share
of the money that is being annually
sent to the North and Europe for insur
ance. Thejnanagement of this Company
proposes at the beginning to take the
people into its confidence, and tell them
frankly its plans and hopes. There are
to be no secrets now or at any other
time, that will be kept from its policy
holders or from the public. In the first
place we want the CAROLINA MUTU
AL, to be pre-eminently the PEOPLE'S
ftte insurance company of the Carolinas;
oar stockholders, who are and will be
from all parts of the two States, are of
all classes; among them are Bankers,
Merchants,- Manufacturers, Lawyers,
Physicians, Clerks and Mechanics.
Under our Charter there can never be
a larger dividend than ten per cent, an
nually, paid on-our Capital Stock; so we
cannot water our stock, and enrich the
?khoIder with the profits tnat right
ly belong to the policy-holder. And
then our charter provides that the
Company SHALL PAY , TO THE
POLICY HOLDERS a prorata dividend
T.f pot more than 50 PER CENT, of the
balance of the profits till tho assets of
the Company shall have become one
hundred thousand dollars, after which
the, directors may at their discretion re
turn t he ENTIRE BALANCE OF THE
PROFITS to the policy holders. Our
Charter further provides, that after the
'first year, one-third of our Directors
MUST BE POLICY-HOLDERS WHO
ARE NOT STOCKHOLDERS, elected
by the policy-holders; so the policy
holders of the CAROLINA MUTUAL'
will always have their own representa
tives, elected by themselves on our
board of Directors, who will see to it
that the conditions of our Charter are
" faithfully carried out, and their inter
ests carefully looked after.
The Company will commence slowly
and carefully, will underwrite nothing
but dwellings and brick stores; will not
write more than $3,000 on a brick
dwelling, nor more than $2,000 on a
frame dwelling or brick store, and not
more than 50,000 in any one solid block;
and will do- business only in towns
where the- business blocks are built
1 rgely of brick, and that have good
fi e protection. By writing only small
l.nes on the best classes of property.and
keeping our risks well scattered, we
will prevent the possibility of' disas
trous losses and irisure large dividends
t oiirpoljcy-holders.thus materially re
ducing the cost of their insurance.
Our Capital Stock is. FIFTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS, which is ample for
the business we expect to do. t in fact
MUCH MORE IN PROPORTION
THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS is
to the large Companies, who .write
large " lines on all classes of property
and do business all over the United
States and Canada. A larger capital
would be useless and unwieldy, and be
sides would make it necessary to give
-" more of the profits to our stockholders
and less to our policy-holders.
Section 6 of our Charter reads "That
no stockholder or policy-holder shall be
individually liable for the debts of this
corporation." .
We expect to have our agencies es
tablished and be ready for business by
the first of April, due announcement of
which will be made.
LOOK UP YOUR POLICY NOW,
AND WHEN IT EXPIRES HAVE IT
RENEWED WITH THE CAROLINA
MUTUAL.

The Baptist Meeting Largely Attended

The Baptist union meeting at Inde

sion since Friday, is' being largely at
tended. t . " " - . '
On Friday the attendance was good
notwithstanding the farmers were ex
eeedingly busy getting their lands ready
to plant. ' The congregation to which it
was Dr. Pritchard s privilege 10 preach
at 11 a. m., was considerably augment
ed by the presence of Miss CaldweH and
her entiro school. Uuring rriday and
Saturday the subjects of the "Duty of
Pastors to Churches," and or "churches
to Pastors," and State missions, home
missions and foreign missions were dis
cussed, the following gentlemen taking
part: Jxeverends lu. it, rruett, j. u

The next meeting, which will occur

Grove church," Rev John Paysour will
preach the opening sermon. The gen
eral opinion was that, take it altogether.
this was about the most interesting and
profitable meeting of the union ever
held.. - - ......
One of tbe topics chosen for discus
sion at Wilson's Grove is the existence
or a hell, and the certainty of its tor
ments for the wicked. As this is one
of the churches that the Second Ad
ventist, Rev. 'John King, has gtatly
disturbed by his doctrine of the anni
hilation of tbe wicked; a season of spe
cial interest' may be expected.

MILLS' AND MANUFACTURES.
A COMMITTER OF HAMTACTCRERS.
They sar New England for a Trip to
Southern Mills Seeking Information,
' Wot Notoriety The Observer In the Tex
tile World. .: :! " !!""
There is one thing, on account of
which the Observer ought to be en
titled to some credit. .That one thing
is that it has worked faithfully to make
the advantages for manufactures of
the Piedmont region known.
1 , r x 1 r-
b ruruicriT, wueu a vaoauian. an ia-
glishmau, a New Englander or I a Mid
dle States man started South he headed
for Atlanta, and, without ever saying a
single word against Atlanta, the Ob
server assumes some of the credit for
having brought it about that Charlotte
has come to bo considered the cen
tral point of the texlile manufacturing
interests in the South. ' jit should not
be considered that there is I much of
conceit In helping to establish a; fact.
This is all the Observer! has done. It
has simply helped to establish the fact
that Charlotte bears the same relation
to the area of textile manufactures in
the South that . Protidence does in
New England, and that Philadelphia
does in the Middle States. ,
When the committee ion mercantile
affairs, of tiie' Massachusettes Legisla-
lure came South, it was reasonably ad
mitted that more varied ami successful
manufactures were found in Charlotte
tian in any other place in the South.
The Charleston JNews 06 Uourier had
it that Charlotte captured the commit
tee. If the committee was captured in
Charlotte it was simply by what they
iw, rather than by any effort made to
emphasize Charlotte's exhibit. ;
Another committee is coming. It is
made up as follows: 1 1- 1 i; '
Mr. llenry Howe, representative or
the Pacific Mills, Lawrence, which is
the; largest 'and most varied mill in the
North, also the Pepperell and Laconia
Milts, which are large plain cotton .
mills with anfimmense foreign business;
Mr. Howard Stockton, treasurer of the
Merrlmac Mills, - Lowell, one of the
largest and oldest concerns North and "
one that has applied to the Legislature
for the right to manufacture outside
the State; Mr. Thomas Motley1, who rep
resents the Chicopee and Saratoga, to
gether , with many other mills; .Mr.
Henry is. uoxe, 01 I'nuaaeipnia, wno
is Arepresentive of Coxei Brothers, - the
argest Lehigh coal miners in rnuaaei-
phia, representing , manufactures of
many kinds and an immense amount
of capital; Mr. T, Jefferson ' Coolidge,
treasurer of the Amoskeag jsauis, ana
late Democratic minister to France by
appointment of President Cleveland;
Mr, Arthur Amory, representative of
the Jackson Mills and the .Nashua Mill?,
of Nashua, N. H., and Mr. C. W. Amory,
of the Amory Mills, Nashua, N. 11.
These gentlemen come in oraerio as
certain the facts. They are avoiaing
newspaper notice. Their trip through
the South is simply for the sake of
now ledge and information. They will
visit Charlotto because they hear that
Charlotte i a point at which Ithey will
be able to learn much about boutnern
manufacture. The gentlemen compos
ing the committee may invest some ,
money in jibe South. , .Yet they may ;
not do so. In making the trip they i
