loved ones buried In the town

particle of town pride, will hes
itate about responding to the ap
peal of the Cemetery Committee,

As noted in our last issue, in
surance men, upon the call of
State Commissioner Young,
gathered in this city the past
week. There have been a se
ries of unfortunate fires here
during the past year and inves
tigation was desired. -There
were charges of over insurance
and loss quite naturally, etc
Examinations and inspections
were made and what was the re
sult? That there was no over
insurance, that Winston-Salem
bad as good fire departments as
there was in the State; an abund
ant supply of water, property
insured was in a satisfactory
condition and tnat a most liberal
patronage was extended. Ac
cording to Commissioner Young,
North Carolina pays some $4,
000,000 for insurance, with loss
es at about $1,000,000. Of
course Winston-Salem pays its
proportionate part That fires
come is a matter of regret and
such misfortunes are unavoida
ble. Yet when the golden
streams of one section fails to
pour its wealth into the insur
ance coffers for a brief period,
then there is a protest, exaini
nation, inspection and insinua
tions. Peopfe insure for pro
tection. They pay their poli
cies year after year at prices fix
ed by the insurance companies.
When calamity comes they ex
pect to receive what they pay
for in a business like way and
without occasion for special
meetings, investigations and in-
'Farmer 1 sinuations upon the entire com
munity. It is unjust to the cit
izens, to liberal insurance pat
rons and to the good name of
Winston-Salem.

Rst. J. O. Fulbright Resigns.
Many of our people regardless
of denomination, will regret to
learn that Rev. J. O. Fulbright,
pastor of the Baptist church at
this place has tendered his res
ignation. The announcement
came last Sunday as quite a
shock to most of his congrega
tion. He has had several calls
to larger fields, some of them in
the middle west and his resigna
tion is due entirely we under
stand to these calls. His work
here has been most acceptable,
not only to his own congrega
tion, bnt to our entire cominuni
ty and his untiring energetic ef
forts have been productive of
fine results. Hia congregation

ings of the coroner's jury, the
Kerlee woman is in jail. If she
is guilty then that guilt ought
to be determined, with as little
delay as possible. If she would
prefer a life sentence, then she
ought to be hanged; if she had
rather be hanged, then she
ought to be given a life sen
tence. Justice ought to begin
here below. The law ought to
avenge the death of that child.

"You do me a great Injustice," she
