age of 81, is entitled to a life insurance
policy of $1,000, and after ten years of
service a second policy for $1,000, on
both of which the firm pays the prem
ium. Employees entering the service be-
tween % and 25 years of age are en-
titled to third policy, of $1,000, after
Is years of continuous service. Those
entering when between 81 and 35 years
of age receive only one policy, after five
years; and those who are Sc or over
when employed receive no policy, but,
after five years of service, the firm sets
aside for them, at interest, $50 per an
mum for 90 years. IF the application of
any employee for policy is refused by
the insurance companies, the firm sets
aside or deposits for him each year an
amount equal 10 the premium on a
ST 900 policy, and when he dies, the
sums SO deposited, with interest, are
payable to his heirs.
The endowment system applies
equally to all employees over 81, and
its purpose is to give a special reward
for exceptionally good service. When
ever the annual records show that an
employee has produced more than has
been paid him in wages. the extra
amount is credited to him on a spe-
cial account; but, if by neglect or care
1essness. he has caused loss, such
loss is charged against him on this
same account. 1t is never deducted
from his wages, however. The balance
in any employees favor is payable to
him, with interest only after he reaches
60 years of age. If he dies before
that time, it goes to his heirs. In real
ity, this is very much like pension
scheme, only that it depends entirely
upon faithful service. Since 1892 moth
ing has been credited on the endow-
ment account, owing to hard times.
This endowment plan is perhaps less
satisfactory than the other features, as

it is dependent entirely on the state of
business, and approaches SO nearly to
the out-and-out profit-sharing idea
that it cannot easily be made an auto
matte part of the wages system. There
are few industries in which it is prac-
ticable to figure out the exact product
of each man. Necessarily, under the
wages system, men must be hired and
paid in groups, rather than as individ-
uals, and this has great advantages,
too; it enables worllingmen to COM
bine and act with all the power of or
gani2ation for better wages and con
ditions; besides preventing the excess
sive oyer-worling and neglect of So
cial and domestic life which is apt to
result when men are spurred along by
special Inducements to extra exertion.
The pension system is the most in
teresting OF all, and probably most sig
niieant. Every employ of Alfred

not over so when employed, is, in case
CT partial or total disability, whether
cue to accident, sickness or old age,

The Court House Ring.

Numerous individual complaints,
against the court house ring, have
reached this office since the present
campaign was inaugerated. Every
section seems to have experienced
some specific official neglect or out
rage. The bitterest wall comes from
the Cold Springs neighborhood, The
chief complaint from that locality re-
lates to the Kippen murder and the
Moragne trial. The different in divid-
uals bewail this historic crime and the
disgraceful mis- trial that resulted so
unsatisfactory to all. There is a
great movement on foot to rebuke the
ring for this disgrace upon Cold Springs
settlement.
In the Fletcher nelghborhood there
is loud cry against the county road
farce. There has been no sense of JUS
tice displayed in this branch of Off
cial duty. The roads have been built
in "a way to gain votes for the ring,
rather than to meet the public demand
for practical thoroughfares The roads
have been made almost impossible by
the effort of the ring to run around the
corners of the homesteads of ring
fayorites. The road cry has gone up
from every quarter of the county. The
roads which were good in their origi-
nal localities have been changed to
suit individuals till they are almost
tmpas-ihle, after two years OF favorit-
ism. Another year OF ring rule would
result in a complete road blockade. A
ring favorite has been found now in
every township whose individual greed
is held above public needs, and new
| f,vorltes would be found if the present
system were perpetuated.

A Sad Death.

The announcement on Sunday
morning that Mrs. q A. Robertson
had died during the night before was
severe shock. The lady's sickness
was so brief that it had not been gen.
orally known. Only the day before
she was in good health but was taken
with sickness after dinner and had
cramps in the evening which were re-
iieved by DR.. Shaft The PATIENT be-
lieved she had entirely recovered and
insisted upon her husband retiring be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock, but DR.. Robert
son was too anxious about his wife's
condition to retire without another
consultation with the family physician
SO lie went over to DIR. Shafts resi-
dence and asked him to come over and
see if he thought all danger had passed.
While the husband was absent severe
hemo.age occurred causing death be-
fore the husband and DR.. Shaft arrived.
She had apparently tried to rise, but
she fell forward and. died lying across
the bed.

made hurried Interment necessary, so

took place Sunday afternoon. Mrs.
Robertson was a popular member of
society, a worker in the church aud
fraternal circles; and she was faithful
loving wife and patient, loving
mother. She will be missed by the
circles in which she was an important
factor.
The husband and the two motherless
children have the deepest sympathy of
a wide and sincere friendship.
The deceased lady was IS years old
