The Passion Play that is to be presented t« night at the Gem Theatre is one of the best things in the way of pictures that has ever come our way. It is a picture of the Life of Christ from the beginning to the pathetic end. It is well worth seeing. The Danger of Assessment Life Insurance. "In deciding what life insur-i ance one should buy the first ar.d most obvious step is to examine the policy—or, in assessment societies, the certificate of mem bership—which the agent offers. Let us take for example, the certificate of one of the eldest j and most successful of these organizations. Omitting some of the details it reads as follows: This certificate is issued to John Doe, a member of the Royal Arcanum and upon con dition that the said member complies in the future with the laws, rules and regulations now governing the said Council and Fund or that may hereafter be enacted by the Supreme Council * * * the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum hereby prom ises and binds itself to pay out of its Widows' and Orphans' Benefit Fund to Harriet Doe (wife of insured) a sum not ex ceeding One Thousand Dollars. This means in plain English that the insured is to pay the society whatever assessments its Grand Concil considers neces sary and in return it will pay his beneficiary upon his death a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars. The insured has agreed to pay any sum decided upon by the other party of the contract. No one, whatever his thirst for knowledge, would contract to buy an encyclopaedia for a dollar down and as much as the pub lisher saw fit to charge every month thereafter. No man would agree to buy a house up on the inssalment plan with the amount of the instalments to be fixed from time to time by the real estate company even if he did hold a share in the company, j And yet thousands of people sign these indefinite life insur-i ance contracts without a qualm, in spite of the fact that the pur pose for which insurance is bought ought to make it their most careful purchase. But few 1 people even those who buy large amounts of insurance take the same precaution with an insur ance contract that they take with other contracts of half the importance." —The World's Work, July, 1908, A Most Excellent Company. There is no safer, sounder or more conservative life insurance company in the world than the Southern Life & Trust Co. It has never blindly assumed un desireable risks for the sake of big business, but has insured only insurable lives and the re sult today is that the Southern Life & Trust Co., stands un equaled in its mortality experi ence and consequently in its dividend payments. The Southern Life & Trust Co. are represented in Catawba County by the Hickory Insurance $ Realty Co. The Southern LifeSs Trust Co loans through the incorporated agencies in North Carolina which represent, premiums received from its policy holders on first mortage real estate. Thus it happens that North Carolina in surance money does not return to be used in the home develop ment of the North as it would in case you took insurance with some Northern Company. There fore it helps to build up the in dustries of its policy holders. Keep Your Money At Home by taking out your life insurance with the Southern Life & Trust Co. All premiums loaned in Ca tawba county through the HICK ORY INSURANCE & REALTY CO. Ice Cream Supper The Ice Cream Supper given Saturday evening for the benefit of the Hickory Base Team start ed off very successfully but was interrupted by rain.
