A DIVIDEND OF 20 PER CENT.
Declared at the Annual Meeting of
the Southern Stock Mutual In-surance
Company—A Strong New
Company Organized.
Mr. Howard Banks, representing the
Charlotte Observer, sent the following
letter to his paper last Thursday:
A new tire insurance company was
organized in Greensboro this after- j
noon. The reasons prompting the or-I
ganization of this company form an
interesting bit of history in the busi-ness
life of Greensboro and of the state
at large. The new company is the
Underwriters (Mutual Fire) Insurance
Company,and was organized just after
the close of a meeting of the stockhol-ders
of the Southern Stock Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Greens-boro,
held in the parlors of tbe Ben-bow
House. The stockholders, direc-tors
and officers of the Southern Stock
Mutual were prominent in the organi-zation
of the new company.
The causes leading up to the organi-zation
of the new tire insurance com-pany
were as follow.: The Southeast-ern
Tariff Association very bitterly an-tagonized
the Southern Stock Mutual
Gompany, objecting to the company's
returning a part of the prolit9 annually
to the policy holders in the shape of
dividends. In October, IS!)", a sweep-ing
cut of 50 per cent, in the rate, of
insurance at Greensboro, which a large
percentage of the insurance of the
Southern Stock Mutual covers, was
made by the Southeastern Tariff Asso-ciation
for the manifest purpose of
driving the Southern Stock Mutual out
of business. The people of Greensboro
took a business view of the situation,
and decided that it would be a short-sighted
policy to withdraw their sup-port
from a company which had se-cured
to them a regular annual legiti-
' mate reduction in the cost of their in-surance,
for the sake of a mere tem-porary
advantage offered under the cut
rates for the purpose of driving a com-petitor
out of business, and the result
was that the Southern Stock Mutual
has been able to retain its business at
the regular rates.
The results of this rate-cutting on
'< the part of the Southeastern Tariff As-sociation
were, instead of being injuri-ous,
positively beneficial to the South-ern
Stock Mutual Insurance Company.
Its business for the three months since
the rate-cutting was inaugurated has
been larger than for any corresponding
period since the company was organ-ized.
The war itself attracted general
attention and the skillful and masterly
generalship of tbe officers of the South-ern
Stock Mutual brought the company
prominently before the public, so that
its successful tight, together with it.
policy of paying annual dividends to
policy-holders, has won it a popularity
which is altogether merited.
The plan of insurance of the South-ern
Stock Mutual has been so entirely
satisfactory that its agents discovered
that they must have additional facili-ties
for the large business that came to
them. Long experience in tire insur-ance
has demonstrated the fact that a
single company can carry only a lim-ited
amount of insurance on any one
building or in any cne block or locality.
The Southeastern Tariff Association
has always shut off the agents of the
Greensboro company from represent-ing
any of the companies in the tariff
association. How else, then, were the
demands for increased business to be
met. unless by the organization of a
new company? This policy of exclu-sion,
therefore, on the part of the
Southeastern Tariff Association has,
instead of driving a competitor out of
the field, cleared the way and made a
superb opportunity for the organization
and successful operation of a second
company, which will work in perfect
harmony with the Southern Stock Mu-tual.
The new organization effected to-day
is to be known as the Underwriters
(Mutual Fire, Insurance Company. It
starts with » capital of 180,000, 60 per
cent of which is paid in cash. The new
company will be operated upon the
same plan as it. ally, the Southern
Stock Mutual. It will write the same
class of risks, and will charge tbe same
rates as other companies, but will pay
dividends to policy holders, just as the
Southern Stock Mutual does. The two
companies, by doubling tbe carrying
capacity, will double the saving under
the stock mutual plan in the cost of in-surance.
The officers of the I'ndetwriters
Mutual Fire Insurance Company are
as follows:
J. Van Lindley. president: B. P.
Wharton. vice president: A. W. McAl-ister,
secretary and treasurer.^

Mr. L. M. Scott was called to preside
over the meeting of the stockholders
of the Southern Stock Mutual Insur-ance
Company held at the Benbow
House this afternoon. A majority of
the stock was found to be represented.
The following extract from the an-nual
report of the executive commit-tee
shows the Southern Stock Mutual
to be in a most prosperous condition :
"The total premiums for the three
years since the organization have been
$75,740.70. The total losses for the
three years since organization have
been 118,036.39. The losses for the
three years have been 17 per cent, of
the premium receipts. The average
losses of other companies is 55 per
cent, of the premium receipts. The
Southern Stoek Mutual has lowered
this average 88 per cent. The average
annual expenses of the Southern Stock
Mutual have been :(4 per cent, of the
premium receipt., 7 per cent, less than
I the average of other companies, which
is 41 per cent. The expense ratio of
Lome companies doing business in
North Carolina is over 50 per cent.
' The reports of the insurance compa-
: nie. published by the Secretary of
State show that the Southern Stock
j Mutual is the most economically man-aged
company in North Carolina.
I Successful underwriting consists es-sentially
in maintaining at alow figure
j these two item, of losses and expenses.
The net premium receipts for the coui-
I pany for the year have been $38,533 93.
' The losses have been $9,389 -33, or 88
per cent, of the premium receipts.
The net profit of the year", operation*
have been f 13,245:14.
"After making the usual apportion-ment
of profits, tbe guarantors sur-plus
stands at $8,115.23.
"The emergency fund ire-insurance
reserve) $17,819.10.
"Total assets including guarantors'
bonds $135,4'.)5 75.
"Your committee recommends that
a dividend to policy-holders be declar-
! ed of 20 per cent, on annual policies for
11897, and of •>- ■ per cent, on three year
: policies in force."
The following officers and director*
, were elected for the ensuing year:
J. M. Worth, president: E. P. Whar-

secretary and treasurer.
