summoned to Washington city to testify
in regayd to the charges against Collector

tee which is now making an investiga-
ton of the matters which have been
brought TO their attention by Senator
Vance.
The condition Of Colonel John d. Came
ron, the oldest editor in the State, con-
tinues very critical.
Judge Jones' in his charge to the grand
fury this week, was particularly and UNI
usually severe on trusts and combinations
Of capital to limit production, and thus
raise prices. He remarked that 1t was
a habit Of our people generally 70 abuse
trusts. but called attention 10 the tact
that. while the laws were adequate In TINS
State TO prevent such combinations and
to punish the agents operating In this
State of such combinations formed IN
other States, yet they are not enforced
and for the reason that so far few grand
iuries have had the courage OF their
convictions and set the machinery Of the
law in motion.

protect your investments, as well as you can
But there is a that you may at any moment
be thus to turn your affairs the manage
ment of another-namcy, in the event of your death
Remember that executors often think about
avoiding risks and protecting themselves than of carry
ing out the spirit of the views They gener-
ally lack experience in the business they trying to
wind up.
This inexperience and possible lack of interest may
cost ten or fifteen per cent of the value of your estate
more.
You cannot but recognize the truth of this satementJ
nevertheless you guard against this loss by assuring
your life for the amount which in your judgment your
executors would waste in winding up your estate.

living expenses pay from your income the premium on
