SERVICE Your Fire Insurance Policy in nothing more than a contract between you and some insurance company. When you buy insurance, be sure that the other party to the contract is anxious to do a little more than the right thing. This agency has had sixty-three years in which to select the pick of the companies most fair and prompt in adjustments. No company is permitted to operate through our office who would in any way take advantage of one of our clients. Our record sustains us in our claim that no insurance agency can render better service than that furnished our customers. . ' ' v Williams Insurance Agency R. M KENNEDY, JR..

J Loan & Savings Bank CAPITAL $100,000.00 * rf W ? I _ _ _ t " , S- ' Belgian Banker Falls 4/M Feet Parih, July 9.?Whether Captain Alfred I ^M'wenatein, Belgian finan* | cier, reputedly one of the richest men , In the world, deliberately hurled him elf from the private plane which was W-aung him across the English channel early Thuraday, or watt the , victim of a tragic mistake, waa unknown tonight. The usual routine police investigation wax held today at BoulogneSur-M.-r where the plane landed . when it wan discovered that it* wealthy owner had disappeared. The investigation, conducted only by a police commissioner without power to do more than merely ascertain the obvioua facta, resulted in no condux ion. The pi I to, mechanic, two stenographers and valet, who were in the plane on its transchannel flight testified to their belief that Captain I Loewenstein'* death was the result i of a mistake. j In many financial circles through- < out the world, however, the theory j of suicide was strongly urged, its adherents pointing out that during the last month many of the stocks in j which the Belgian magnate was in- ] terested hud suffered severe reverse's, j It was reported on the Paris . Bourse that Captain Loewenstein had i been seriously worried recently over his financial affairs and that his fail- ure to arrange loans within the last i weeks for some of his Belgain companies had preyed seriously upon his mind. "Loewenstein made a billion francs last year; why should he commit suicide?" asked one close friend. The six persons in the plane gave their meager account of the affair to the police and then still refused to talk with the exception of a French stenographer who said that her employer seemed to be in the best of health and spirits when he boarded the plane at Croyden. Captain Loewenstein had been in j the habit of traveling between Brus| sels and London almost every other day, and it was on one of these regi ular trips that he boarded his plane I j at Croyden last night. When it was over the English channel the banker went to the washroom. Ten min- | utes later, his secretary, Hodgson, ' said, he strll was away from the main compartment. Hodgson went' in search of him and found the exit door to the plane, on the far side c?r the washroom, open. The banker was missing. The plane put back over its course in a effort to sight the body but the search was unsuccessful and Pilot Drew brought it to BoulogneSur-Mer, the nearest landing field. It had been traveling at a height of about 4,000 feet when Captain Loewenstein's disappearance was discovered. In Paris. London, Brussels and Berlin stock exchanges reacted quickly wnen death of the financier became known. In Paris every security in which he was known to have been interested dropped sharply. A few wild reports that the report of"' ths deatli was merely a spectacular trick under cover of which Loewenstein, still alive, was arranging some j business deal, fantastic as they sound, j received some supper! and help t j save the stocks from further declines I i Captain Lotwenatein was known in Paris as a courageous oj>erator on the stock exchange, frequently handling immense deals with the utmost coolness. He was better known, however, as the owner of some of the Finest race horses on the French turf m.d a sanguine frequenter of the pari mutue! betting machines. "I'm born lucky," he is quoted as having told President Doumergue after receiving the letter's congratulations when one of his horses had won a long purBe. "Everything I touch turns into money,' he said. The president was greatly amused. Captain LoewenBtein maintained himself in perfect physical condition, boxing and riding at every opportunity. He was considered a clever amateur boxer and during the year following the armistice frequently sparred with Georges Carpentier. Anrrum Place Near Abbeville Sold Abbeville, July 8.?O. A.

C.f July 5.?H. H. Brimley, curator and director of the State mutcuni, has recently made a trip to Topsail Inlet, where he inspected the bone* of the mammoth sperm whale, interred there for cleansing purposes by forces cd the stato museum, Mr. Brimley reported the bones were cleaning off nicely, but that it would be several weeks yet before they could be removed to Raleigh where .they will be mounted. Research shows the value of the whale skeleton as about $8,000, Mr. Brimley stated. The whale was washed ashore at VVrightsville Beach a month or so ago, and was acquired by the Btate museum at no expense save that of salvaging the skeleton. Among the recent additions to the state museum is a disc from a cypress tree 840 years old. The stumn measures 11 feet across and was located in Pink Hill township, Lenoir county. The museum has already one of the finest wood collections of any museum in the country.
