Hendrix & Co. tion the following report of the trans actions -of the Guilford branch of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Association since last annual meeting, April 3rd, 1897 : Number of members now on the roll 830. Of these 27 have not paid the last two assessments on property insured for $16,893, or about 2 per cent, of total amount insured. - . Forty, members have not paid the last assessment on property insured for $30,145, or about 5 per cent, of total in surance carried. The reason for keeping these names pn the roll is that some of them will pay up back dues and be reinstated. All members know their property is before accepting the position of secre retary and treasurer. That the secre tary and treasurer's report of the busl- .$199 si ness of the Guilford branch of the 3 00 Farmers' Mutual under the efficient management of the-local agent, Jesse F. Hoskins, showed what a saving had been made to the county in the way of fire insurance. And the Carolina Be nevolent Association would follow on similar 1 lines, improving upon with a life plan, and together a great work will have been done. ! ' - i. .-si 'li; ... f Capt. S. B: Alexander, president of the association, inj a few .well timed remarks explained that after due con sideration of the plans and purposes of this proposed i insurance 'association that he had accepted the office of pres ident because he regarded the plan as a step in the right direction! The ques tion, Capt. Alexander said had been asked him why there had not been in surance companies started in the South and he bad never been able to answer the question j, satisfactorily This, he said, was a home based upon safe and solvent plans and provided indemnity to the people in a local way, and incorporated some need ed and attractive features jwhlchj will enable the people to insure themselves at a nominal cost,! and thereby, keep the money at homel !j 1 Mr. J.

We' propose by eebnom- making a speech; that he knew very ical business management undoubted indemnity at the: consistent with peffect safety This association is operated and con- at the average age of 35 years per $1,000 Insurance. ! v It is a well known fact that Life In surance Companies never fail by reason of the death-rate experienced, bat when failure has occurred it has been caused by speculation, fraud or extravagance. The safeguards introduced into this Association makes such abuse of funds or confidence impossible. For the safety of the policy-holder the Secre tary and Treasuerr gives a security bond. J : j ; . It must be considered; also, that none of the Co-operative Companies have incorporated an old-age surrender value, which naturally changes the death ratei This Association provides a cash surrender value of one-fourth of the face certificate ($250,) payable when the insured arrives at the age of sixty five years. Now, had the assessment societies Incorporated such a cash-surrender value as that, having been In business twenty years, a very. large per cent. of its old members -would have retired from the company, taking only one-fourth of the value of their policies in cash, whereas the old mem bers having no cash surrender hold on ' to their policies, and new and young members will not stand the increase of assessments which must necessarily follow and pay for the excessive death rate of these old members. There Is ho reason why the assessment to meet the expense for death, old age or total disability should be increased as this paid. Since last meeting eighteen policies have, been cancelled for various rea sons, some having sold their property or died without transferring policies, and others having ordered policies can celled without giving reason.
