Charlie Hope, Va.
Sugar can be made in abundant quanu-
ties from the sorghum or Chinese sugar
cane under certain conditions. Chief oil
these conditions is by careful chemical
selection 10 develop "a plant which has a
high sugar content. This has been Done
by the Department Of Agriculture so 'hat

II a man applies to a life-assurance

standing that he has month for con-
sideration before the policy is issued.
and withdraws the day after making the
application, can the company force him

Tempest, Va.
The company. we should say, cannot
force the party TO take the policy. 1t is
TO be inferred from the inquiry that the
premium was not paid. IN which case
there is no legal obligation, as although
the policy may be issued. 1t will not have
taken effect, as distinctly stated in the
conditions of al life policies. until the
premium shall have been actually paid,
ana while the insured is in good health"
on the other hand. If the premium has
been paid, or an obligation given therefor
the applicant cannot demand the return
OF his payment or obligation, unless he
can show that the policy does not come

In other words, that his application and
payment were obtained by misrepresenta-
ton.
II there was no Misrepresentation on
the part Of the agent. and the applicant
has simply reconsidered the matter, and
decided not TO take insurance, 1t might
he fairly claimed that the applicant is
under moral obligation to at least pay
the fee for the examination.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-03-20
An OratorIcnI Question.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Referring 10 the following:
"The contest for the intercollegiate ora
tors medal will take place at Richmond
College the 9Th OF May"
Is the phrase correct as II stands, or
should II be as follows:
"'rhe contest for the intercollegiate ora
tors medal will take place." etc?
Respectfully, G.. 3. j,
We think either would do; but perhaps
It would be better TO say "the intercol-
legiate contest for the best orators medal
will take place" etc.
