SUCCEH BOAD MM.
Well Attended and Strong En.

The Fine Subscription List Still Far
ther Increased Construction Com-
mltte Appointed The Other
Business.
A good proportion of New Berne's
most intelligent and pr-'gressive citizens
assembled promptly at U- City Hall yes
terday afternoon n aie-'ud with tbe call
of Mr. W. W. Clark for a good-road
meeting.
Mr. E. H. Meadows called the meeting
to order and upon his motion Hon. C. C.
Clark was made chairman, The organi
zation was then perfected by electing C.
T. Hancock, Secretary.
Mr. Clark with a lew apt remarks about
the unanimity of purpose of those com
posing tho meeting and expressing the
hope that evi rybody would give free ex
pression to their opinions declared the
motiini; opened for the transaction of
business.
Mr. W. W. Clark stated that the ob
ject of the meeting was-to hear the report
of the subscriptions that had been made
and to organize for the further prosecu
tion ot the work.
He then read the list of subscribers.
The subscription footed up $1,300 in cash
in addition to the marl; all uf which
Messjs. Hackburn & Willett donate and
which is estimated to be worth f 300 to
to the road. $2 00) in cash was tbe
amount which it was stated that it was
desired to raise.
Mr. Clark after reaching the list and
making statements of the work made a
fine argument in behalf of good roads,
At the conclusion of his remarks the
list was placed on the desk of the secretary
for additional subscriptions or for any
subscriber who desired to do so to in
crease bis subscription. The following
increase was made:
The Clark Lumber company increased
their subscription from $10 to $25; J. W,
Biddle, from $3 to $10; O. H. Guion.
(rom $5 to $10; P. II. Pelletier, from $10
to $25; J. S. Manix, from $2 to $5; and
Hackburn & Willett subscribed $25 in
addition to donating all the marl, Geo,
H. While, $10; and W. T. Boyd, $1.
This made an increase of $79 in the
private subscriptions, raising the list to
$1279. Counting the county's subscrip
tion of $250, tbe total cash subscription is
now $1529, adding the estimated value of
the marl donated $300 and we have
total of $1829 now subscribed for the
road iu addition to labor and service of
the teams which some offer instead of
cash. This is indeed a fine start and
makes success assured.
On motion of Mr. E. H. Meadows, a
construction committee was appointed to
take charge of the subscription list and of
the general management of the construc
tion ot the road.
Tbe committee consists of six enter
prising and influential citizens ol the
county, viz: W. ,W. Clark, J. A. Mead
ows, Enoch Wadsworth. W. O. Willett,
Wm. Ellis and J. W. Stewart.
R, P. Williams ;moved that the com
mittee be requested to begin work at the
edge of the city and work in the other
directioa After discussion the motion
was withdrawn and on motion ofRobt
Hansock the matter was left entirely with
the committee. , -
Mr. W, W. Clark made an argument
showing that the county has tbe right to
appropriate the money realized from the
dividends paid to the county on its A. &
N. C, B. R. stock to the construction oi
this road and that it could be used to no
bettor purpose. : "
Jas. A. Bryan , chairman Board of
County Commissioners, stated that at the
last' meeting of the Board this question
was taken . up and it wis found that it
would take all the available income of
the county, including that of tbe railroad
dividend to meet tho expenses of tbe
county since the county has purchased
and) is running tbe two free ferries, but
that nevertheless tbe Board had ordered
a subscription "of $250 to the road
fundv,. .. '...I1'-
., Mr. Clark asked that in addition to this
fund that the prisoners in the county jail
be ; put to .work upon the road and that
the county furnish a guard for them.
Chairman Bryan,' upon inquiry, was in
formed , that the work might be in pro.
gress two or three months, and he object
ed to the .'county's furnishing a guard
because a good one such as tbe authori
ties would be willing to trust the prison
en) with would cost $50 per month and
if it ' took three months this would take
$150 and run the county's subscription up
to $400. , , ?-
On motion of Mr. O. H, Guion, a reso
lution of thanks from the people of the
county was unanimously ordered to be
spread upon the minutes of tbe secretary
to Mr. W. W. Clark for his indefatigable
interest, seal and efforts in behalf of the
road. ; -. ''.-. . . : ; .' '
It was moved and carried that the pro.
cowlings of the meeting, including the
list of subscribers be published. (Ti
Y t will appear in our next issue.)

Shell Bock Is the Desired Material.
One of our leading citizens called in
early yesterday morning to declare bis
hearty approval of everything said in
favor oi' constructing our Public Build
ing out of our native shell rock as cheap
a material as can be used for a building ui
its kind, and one that will make as hand
some a building. He says truly that not
only will it bave all the points of super
iority spoken of but that it will be a
prominent standing advertisement of this
section.
That this is the material of all others
that ought to be used in tbe building k
our mind beyond a doubt, that most
citizens coincide with us in this opinion
we are satisfied, and we believe that all
that needs io be done to get our wishes
gratified is to bring tbe matter properly
the attention of Secretary Carlisle
which we consider can easily be done by
means of a petition, if any one will move
in the matter and put one through,
It Is not at all likely that Secretary
Carlisle knows anything about our shell
rock consequently that will not be the
material chosen unless wo ask for it Ac
tion is necessary to accomplish the pur
pose. Still there are some who thiuk that
harder rock, something like granite
should be used and who also believe tliat
the shell rock is too porous. That mat
ter we think can be easily settled. It any
of our home contractors want to put in a
bid lor the building let them express
themselves on it, and another good au
thority on the su'ject is Col. Owens,
Superintendent of National Cemeteries,
who bos been out hero a number of times
in the last few years, and is familiar with
the National Cemetery lodge construtted
of it. He is, moreover, a civil engineer
and a competent judge of building ma
terial. His opinion will carry weight
with it-
His address can be obtained from Capt
Hyde, keeper of the cemetery and it may
be that it will be well to work in the mat
ter both directly with Secretary Carlisle
and also with him through Col. Oweus.
We hope it will be but a very short
time before tbe advertisement for bids for
the erection of the building will be pub
lished. This advertisement under the
new regulations will specify what mater
ial is to be used, consequently whatever
done in the matter must be done
promptly.
North Carolina Antl-Lynchlng Law.
The News and Observer calls attention
to the fact that North Carolina bas an
anti-lyncbing law, that is the first state in
tbe nnion to pass such a law, that it was
enacted by a legislature composed almost
entirely of Democrats and that not a col-
ored person has been lynched iu the State
since it was passed; The bill was pawd
without serious opposition and almost
unanimously. It was championed by
many of the leading Democrats in the
General Assembly. It was prepared and
introduced in the House by that stalwart
Forsyth Democrat, Hon. C. B. Watson
It was favorably reported by a committee,
the chairman of which was Mr, Allen, of
Wayne, now Judge Allen of the Fourth
district It was championed in the Sen
ate by many of the Democrats and partic
ularly by Senator Pou, now Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee. It was
enacted at the demand of the enlightened
public opinion of the people of North
Carolina. Since its passage not a single
negro has suffered violence at the hands
of a mob in this State, The law has come
to stav and no suggestion favoring its
repeal has been beard.
k Now if the next legislature will adopt
Governor Carr's suggestion and provide
more speedy trials for offenders, and our
laws will be ample to protect the inno
cent, and punish tbe guilty.
Tbe law provides that it is a felony
punishable by a fine of not less than 500
and imprisonment in the penitentiary not
less than two nor more than fifteen years
to either break into a jail or to conspire to
break into one for the purpose of injuring
a prisoner therein Confined. A convic
tion ot either ' offence also renders the
criminal infamous and works his disfran
chisement, ' If a prisoner is killed by
mob it ia murder and tbe extenders are
punishable with death.

' Mr E. B. Cox, who recently died at
Newborn. N. C. bad a policy of insur
ance in the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance Co.. of Hartford for $10,000. In
less than ten days after prool of loss was
received, Mr. William xt. Oliver, agent
of the company at New Berne paid the
family ot Mr. Cox ten thousand two hun
dred and sixty-two 70-100 dollars. The
$262 70-100 being a mortality dividend

Cost of the Policy s This policy had
been in force 27 years, tbe premium on it
was $281. age 37 years: -280
x 87 - . $75.87.00
Each and every year a dividend
was paid, which amounted to 8759.70
Which reduced ; the amount ; '

Being $178.90 per annum on $10,000, or
$17.87 per annum on $1,000. M :'(.' v
The dividends paid by the Connecticut
Mutual are larger than those paid by any
other insurance company. Consequently
the same amount of insurance can be ob
tained tor less money than from any other
company as shown by above statement. :

B. & L ANNUAL MEETING.
To Be Held la the Gity Hall Tonight
Attend and Learn. What It Is
Doing Uphold tbe Local Asso
ciation Always.
Tbe New Berne Building and Loan
Association is now completing its seventh
year. The annual meeting to elect direc
tors for the eighth year, and to bear tbe
reports of the officers and transact what
ever other business may come before the
meeting, will be held at the city hal
to-night.
Local bui'ding and loan associations
possess some things in their favor that
those with headquarters elsewhere do
not. The money of the investing mem
ber is kept at home and helps to improve
and build up the town or city in which
he lives. The borrowing member has
the advantage of dealing with men be
knnws aud who know him and feel an in
terest in bis success and both classes have
the satistaction of having a voice and of
standing on an equal footing with any
other member in conducting the associa
tion. It is a mutual organization to be
run to the best interests of all.
The Charlotte Observer bos an article
about the Charlotte home association, the
basis for which article was the advertise
ment the association carries in that paper.
The Observer's comments upon the work
of these institutions are so much in line
with our own views about the matter that
we copy the article. It reads as
follows:
'At the risk of liecoming tiresome ou
the subiect ot the superiority of tbe lo
cal building and loan association over all
others, and over almost all other forms of
savings institutions, we arc impelled to
refer to another one of the Charlotte asso
ciations the Mechanics' Perpetual a
new advertisement of which appears in
this morning's paper. It has been in busi
ness twelve years and has never lost a
dollar. It has $339,000 lent out and is
doing a business of $125,000 per year. It
has only one salaried officer, pays no rent.
and a safe constitutes all of its visible be
longings. It is conducted with tbe most
rigid economy and pays its shareholders
9 33 per cent, interest per year. While
no similar association anywhere is per
haps better conducted, it is a type of
many others here and elsewhere and is a
good illustration ot the beneficence of
these institutions. There is no telling
how many homes it has built or bow
many dollars which would otherwise
have gone for naught it has saved to its
stockholders. The building and loan
association is one of tbe greatest ot earth
ly institutions and tbe man who thought
out the idea should have a monument as
high as the trees. But to get the best
results from it it should be localized
every town should have one or more of
its own, and wuen this is tne cose there is
no sort ot excuse lor citizens becoming
stockholders in those away lrom home.
The great piofits that these latter promise
are imaginary, and not only are they nev-
nr (nnliio'1 Kilt tlio nl'innttva' mvnav in.
vested with them is often imperiled and
men lost.
