SUN MUTUAL AID SOCIETY
OF BALTIMORE.

OF BALTIMORE.
The Officers and References are gentlemen
OF well known business and p OCCASIONAL
Standing, and reputation.
THE OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION IS
LIST. To secure to Its members or their heirs
sum OF Money at time when 1t is
most needed
I'd. To insure such Dement'S at the lowest
cost.
RELIABILITY.
The Principles, on which the Society Is
founded are as old as history; the funds are
held by the members themselves, until need
ed to pay dues and benefits.
MEMBERSHIP.
Any person Male or Pennle in good health,
between the ages of 20 and 90 may become
members OF the Association.
PRACTICAL WORKING.
The members agree to pay annual dues, (for
current expenses) and assessments, as rated,
until such assessments shall exceed the
amount required to pay certificate in full =
when they will be assessed only such pro-
rate proportion rs may be necessary to make
up the sum needed, to pay Certificate all
the members will be assessed. as rated in the
Tables, and cannot be assessed for more.
EXAMPLE.
Take our assessment on a certificate of$l250;
all who hold Certificates for that amount,
will be assessed as rated according to their
ages AS for instance, persons iron ~ to ~:
would be assessed one dollar. Certificates OF
Sl,250-% the amount as rated. and Certif1-
Gates for 5000, "a their rated assessment.
thus the plan is purely Mutual and strictly
Equitable
PERMANENT DISABILITY.
In case q member should become perma-
nently disabled, tiftu per cent. of the value OF
their certificates will be paid to them then,
ahd fifty per cent more at Maturity Of years !;
or to their heirs at death. This is manifestly
most benevolent and desirable provision.
MATURITY OF YEARS
Members who live to their years of Expect
ancy, will be paid. in their life time, the
amount of their certificate (old age in ma
jority OF cases, is a Hme of most need.)
EXAMPLE.
Take person of 40 years OF age. at the time
of joining. Their expectation of life, as per
the Carlisle Tables, is q years. Should such
q person live TO be 81 years of age, he or she
would then receive, in cash lin their LIFETIME
the amount of their certificate.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The permanent disability provision and the
payment to living members, of Maturcd Ger
tificates, render membership in this associa-
ton more desirable than In Societies. that pay
benefits In case of death only.
WHO ERE SPECIALLY INTERESTED.
Every member has personal interest in
the growth and welfare of the society and
should be active in inducing others to become
members, as the larger the membership, the
Ices will be assessments, and the greater the
the value of the certificates.
Respectfully,
EDWIN WILMER, Manager,

it is presumed this rule would not be
rigidly enforced.
Third, the persons holding the pri-
mary are to receive none but Repuhll-
can votes. The names and the tickets
of all voting are to be numbered. A
list of said names. and the number OF
votes each cand date has received for
each office, are to be returned to the
County Convention by the return
Judge and there counted up The
tickets themselves are to remain IN the
possession of the Judge holding the
election. for safe keeping, in case they
sbould be needed. This is a rue we
advocated years ago, and, ifever requlr-
ed TO be used, its effect will be to ascer-
tain and reject improper votes only, re-
taiuing those which are proper. On a
former occasion the good were thrown
ont with the bad, which was clear in
justice.
The above are the principal changes
made to govern the present primary.
TIE proceedings of the Committee
should be carefully read by all interest
ed. The committee appointed dele
gates to the State Convention OF Sep
tember 8th, at which candidate for
State Treasurer is to be nominated.

NEXT STATE TREASURER.

By the proceedings Of the Republi-
can committee meeting of this county
on the 18th inst, it will be seen that
the Hon. A. L. Campbell, Of this coun-
ty. is recommended for the coming
nomination for State Treasurer This
is no idle compliment but means busi-
ness. The western part of the State is
SD clearly entitled to the nomination
that we do not see how it can be avoid
ed to award it to her Nearly every
State official is now from the eastern
portion of the State The Governor,
the Attorney General, the Secretary of
Internal Affairs, the Secretary of the
Commonwealth the State Superintend-
ant of schools, both United States Sem
ators, and other officials. are all from
the eastern portion, leaving but the
Lieutenant Governor who fairly can be
charged to the western end. This pre-
spnts a strong claim for the present
State Treasurer nomination. Besides,
Mr.. Campbell is well qualified for that
place and would make strong candi-
date if nominated. He would be warm
ly supported and his friends intend
making an earnest effort to secure his
nomination.

months, they will have to contrive
some new device The one of "revis-
ing the revenue system" has so far,
onl, had the effect of "revising"a good
deal of revenue" out of the State
Treasury, These commissions" may
afford "frolic and fun" for the mem
bers composing them, but so far have
been no benefit to the State 1t is
hoped the House will refuse to concur
IN this last attempt of the Senate to
saddle the people with the expense of
another ''roving commission"
