HOW IS THIS?

The Spectator Of (of y " tables for 1895
have appeared, showing the rate OF interest
earned by the % leading life insurance
companies They show that the Union
Central Life Insurance Co, of Cincinnati,
O., ratio for 1894 is 701 per cent, against
5 IS per cent, the highest Of any other COM
pany, and 499 per cent, the general aver
age This is an extraordinary showing for
the Union Central, being S5 per cent
above the ratio of any other company.
That is to say, on an equal amount Of
money invested the Union Central earns
as much as the best of the other companies
and nearly one fourth more
Extending the comparison for twenty
years, from 1873 to 1894, the average OF the
Union Central for all that time Is &C
against SO, the highest of any other com
pany, and SIS the general average
The Union Central avtr rage per cent of
death claims for thirteen years, compared
to mean amount of insurance in force, has
been 0 65, or IS cents for each Hundred dol
lars insured The lowest aver ge of any
other company has been IS and the high
est2l0 The average of the twenty four
other best companies has been l56,
The above are the vital points of man
agement in a life insurance company and
from the actual records we can grant all
any other company claims and still have a
margin left in our favor.
The results of high inter, st and low
dedth rates are Tor the Dement, OF the IN
sured. BY hese excessive virtues the old
Union Central NOW with mo than $l3,.
50o,0 900 assets) has been for over eight years
paying the full face of their policies 20
those who insured with us from Is TO "a
years ago, though they paid us but the
same premium usually collected for pol
icy payable only at death We paid over
1925, 600 in 1S94 to the living holders of
these poll les, so we have thoroughly de-
mQustr ated that you DO not have TO Idle
to vim cheap life rate policy with the
Union Central, though orr rivals for IS
years claimed it could not be done by any
company.
No con pany eXcels the lberality of our
policy contract as to cash at your COM
mand, pa dup policy, extended insurance,
etc. There is no restriction as to residence
or travel State age and write for cost, etc.

The Letter.
YANCEYvILLE, N. c., July 1

VAUDEVILLE, N. c., July is.
DEAR SIR: In answer to yours of
few days ago, will say, the assessors
and listers of Caswen county held a
meeting in the court house few days
before they began their work, as has
been usual for years, for the sole purpose
of aScertaining as near as possible the
true value Of real and personal property
throughout the county, so that the
valuation should be as near equal as
possible.
In that meeting it was pretty unani-
mously thought that real estate gener
ally, that had not been well kept up or
improved, had deprecated about 80 per
cent from the valuation Of four years
ago. But when it was we'll kept up or
improved the depreciation was less. But
in every case the assessors were to de
eide and assess it at its true value. |
have been particular in giving you the
above facts, which if the writer or his
informer had known or understood, the
grave charge against OasWell county or
her assessors would not have appeared in
the NEWS AND OBSERVER. Brother. read
it over and see how it sounds about men
acting under oath. | did not hear, nor
do believe anything was said by asses
sors or any other citizen in that meeting
or elsewhere that would justify the I'M
preston that they had any desire to es-
cape our part of State tax or any portion
of it, AS to the amount of reduction on
real estate in the county, or average per
cent, don't know But will say as you
said of Durham, Kit is cut down consid-
cradle" and I viii add, simply be
cause Of its depreciation in value in the
last four years, and not to defraud the
State, or Sin order to escape State tax
as much as possible"
| do not deny the reduction which is
right and just Bat most positively
deny that any scheme was adopt
e1, entered into, advocated or sug-
gested in that meeting or anywhere else
for the purpose of or in order to escape
State tax
| am surprised that any person should
form any such idea. do not know who
your informer is, but he himself must
have been misinformed. You will no
tice in the NEWS AND OBSERVER that
wherever spoke of the writer added
or his in ormer, neither of whom | knew
at the time. Respectfully,
JOS. @. PINNIx

Sale of the Atlantic and Dauville.

Our people do not like to think that
the Southern has bought out the Atlantic
& Danville Railroad as they wish to see
the line of the North Carolina Railroad
via Selma the big freight route that it
now seems the Southern intends to make
it. If the Southern buys the Atlantic &
Danville they will no doubt use it for
freight route to deep water. Such deal
would deprive Danville of all the benefits
of a competing point and would cut off
a considerable business for the Norfolk
" Western.
