Paving Agreement Formally Signed The agreement between the city and the Southern Power Company relative to the 30-inch paving by the power company and the lowering of the street car tracks to conform to the -grade of the improved streets has been duly signed and attested by the Southern Pover officials and nothing remains but the letting of the contracts for the actual work of lowering the street car tracks and paving the space between them and 30 inches on each side. By the terms . of the agreement, which was drawn some weeks ago, the street car company will pave the space between its tracks and 30 inches on each side. The street car company let the work to contractors under the company's supervision and the city will reimburse the company from time to time, until such time as the supreme court passes on the question as to whether the company shell be respon sible for the entire 30 inches or only 14 inches on each side of the car tracks, as the company claims is all that should be required of- it.

' II, A III D BUGGY AREJLL GONE Yesterday afternoon a man eivine his name as J. H. Adkins, pulled hlm- seir into Fonce Gazette fame. He called at the livery stable of J. C. Cochrane and hired a hora and buggy to sro to North Charlotte. Ac cordingly Mr. Cochrane hitched up a smaii cay mare to a buggy. Last night Adkins did not return. Mr. Cochrane became suspicious and re ported trie matter to Chief of Police Christenbury. . Mr. Frank Green and Hi Son. This morning after court two men came to the chief and asked about their case. Upon being told that there was no case against them, they told the following story: "Yesterday afternoon a clean shav en, dark, completed youn gman came up to my house and said, 4Is this Mr. Green? I said yes. " I am an officer," said Adkins and have a warrant here for your ar rest, charging you with running a blind tiger, your bond is $200.' I went in the house to change my clothes to accompany him to town, not wanting to give bond. While I was in the house my son-in-law gave Adkins $2.50 to let me come later. He took the mony and left." It later developed that Adkins went further on down the Paw Creek road and tried the same trick on Mr. J. W. Kinley, who luckily saw through thef raud and ran the man off his place. Chief Christenbury. has been busy today 'phoning to all of the near-by towns to keep a sharp lookout for the man. The police have no clue, other than the description given and the direction in which he was last heard from. v In the meantime Mr. Cochrane Is out a horse and buggy.

The watchword of The Mutual Life Is "Preeminence in Benefits to Policy holders," rather than supremacy in size or in volume of business written. In 1911 the Company .paid 'to policy holders and their beneficiaries, in death claims, matured endowments, dividends, etc., the sum of $57,353, 726.13. This wasmore than a million dollars ($1,102,956.27) for every week in the year, and amounted to $189,913 for every working day (302). It ex ceeded the sum paid in 1910 by more than half a million dollars, ($599, 050.66), and was several millions more than any other company has ever paid to policyholders and their beneficiaries in a single y,ear. The amount paid to policy-holders $57,353,726.13) exceeded tie amount re ceived from policyholders in premiums, for supplementary contracts, etc., ($55, 582,183.20) by $1,771,542.93. In the matter of dividends to poli cyholders the Company has again broken all records, having paid in 1911 in cash dividends the sum of $13,631, 857.73; while for dividends payable in 1912 It has appropriated the extraordi nary amount of $15,146,685.72, an in crease of $1,514,827.99 over sum paid In 1911. The sum appropriated for dividends payable in 1912 ($15,146,685.72) is more than 28 per cent of the total . premium income of, 1911 (not Including consider ation for' supplementary contracts and annuities. Notwithstanding the exceptionally low death rate of 1910, a still better re cord was made In 1911. With nearly $41,000,000 more insurance in force at the end of 1911 than in the previous year, the actual death claims paid dur ing the year were-Tess than in 1910. Claims for surrender value paid in 1911 ($10,758,819.49) were less than in 1910 ($11,063,230.55) by '$304,411.06. On real estate and securities sold during 1911, the Company realized a net profit over book value of $3,891, 187.27. In 1911 the new insurance paid-for, (including restorations, etc,), amount ed to $141,014,371, an increase over the previous year of more than $20, 000,000. The total insurance in force at the end of 1911 was $1,504,974,662, a gain of $40,950,266. The real estate holdings (book val ue) of the Company at the close of 1911 amounted to $23,657,975.90, or only 4 per cent of the Company's ad mitted assets. The funds of the Company are kept closely invested. The cash on hand at the end of 1911 was only $2,530, 846.12, or considerably less than two weeks' income. Of the cash on hand all but $341,436.50 was deposited on Interest. s The Record of 69 Years, 1.
