AN INTERESTING INSURANCE. CASE
Judge Ewart Seeks tosRecovar Assessments
Paid to Insurance Company.

Hon. Fl. g. Ewart some months ago IN
stituted an action against the Mutual
Reserve Fund Life Association to recover
all the assessments which he had paid
with interest for the last fourteen years
on a policy for $4,000, on the ground that
the association had wrongfully cancelled
his contract. The case was tried last
week before Judge Robinson &C TENDER
sonville, N. C,
One of the questions involved-the qucs
ton of the new measure of damages--is
quite interesting. 1t appeared that Il is
necessary for an assessment company TO
raise enough money by current assess
ments to pay it's current death LOSSES, or
else to suspend business. That no such
company can survive, which does not
collect current cost Of insurance. That
it was provided in Judge Ewart's contract
that he should be assessed for the actual
accrued current cost of insurance plus %
per cent as contribution to a reserve fund.
That the only thing that gives a policy
in an assessment company any value, is
the fact, that more than one current cost
has been paid on it in the past. 1t also
appeared that for fourteen years the
plaintiff had been assessed at less than
the current cost OF his insurance. That
he had accumulated no reserve, and had
made no excess payments in the past;
but that the members of other classes
had been assessed at more than current
cost and that their excess payments had
been used to pay death losses of the
plaintiffs class. That he had received
more than the full value for all that he
had paid, in the insurance which he had
enjoyed for fourteen years, while the
other classes had received no benefits
from his payments, but had suffered act
ual loss by reason of his connection with
the association, and that they will have
to pay the plaintiffs claim if he sue
ceeds in recovering all his back assess
ments. The judge reserved his decision.

THE MAN VERSUS THE DOLLAR.

and BcLaurin.
(Rv the Associated Press. J

Lincoln. Neb., May 27.-William Jen-
nings Bryan today gave out a statement
on the resignation of Senator'S McLaurin
aud Tillman which he says he regards as
the political event of the last week. Mr..
Bryan said:
1T is an honorable course for the Sem
ators TO pursue and beneficial to the
State. At present, South Carolina vir-
tually has no voice in the settlement of
public questions, as the vote of one Sena-
tor kills the vote of the other. SEN
ator Tillman has just been reelected and
thus risks the loss of the longer term,
but Senator McLaurin really sacrifices
more, because he has less chance to win
in the primary
Mr. Bryan added that it was hardly
necessary to say that he hoped and ex-
pected to see Senator Tillman win a
sweeping victory because he represents
the man, while Senator McLaurin rep
resents the dollar. The vote will show
whether the plutocratic idea is making
any Roadway in the South"

THE STORM CENTRE
Hon. 8. L. Patterson Thinks it Was ON the
MOI mains.

I was talking yesterday with Mr.. Pat
terson, Commissioner OF Agriculture
about the damage wrought by the
storm. He said that it was too soon
yet to estimate it in dollars and cents.
He said:
THE storm center began on the
mountains between Buncombe and Nc
Dowell, and followed for the most part
the line of the Blue Ridge, the adjacent
parts of Mcdowell. Yancey Mitchell.
the western part OF Burke, Caldwell
and Watauga. 1t was the Watauga
that got SO high that it did great dam
age in Tennessee. This is apparent be-
cause the greatest damage was done
from the Watauga river, Cranberry
creek. Doe river. west of the Blue
Ridge, and on the east side Turkey
creek, North Fork creek, Wilson's
creek, Upper creek, Johns river, all of
which run into the CataWba river.
THE Caldwell Land and Lumber
Company, which has railroad to Col
lettsville on Johns river, was a heavy
sufferer. The yahve a large loom con-
structed at Collettsville. 1t broke and
turned loose 100000 feet of lumber in
the log, the derrick was destroyed, the
engine undermined and sunk into the
ground on the bank of the river The
estimate is that the loss to the COM
panyiis from $4,000 to $4,000.
1.-THE trestle-the approach to the rail-
road bridge over the Catawba, between
Hickory and Lenoir, is washed away,
and will require two weeks to repair.
The trains Run from Lenoir to the
bridge )fifteen miles, and connect with
a train from Hickory, and the mail and
passengers are transferred across the
river.
Speaking of the heavy damage done
at Bakersville, Mr.. Patterson said:
"Bakersville is built on both sides of
the valley of Cane creek and down in
the valley, but so high above the ordi-
nary flow of waters that no one would
ven suppose that little creek could ever
get high enough to undermine the build
ing. 1t seems incredible that so small
stream SMALLER than Walnut creek
could rise so high and do SO much
damage.
Several good stores and dwellings in
Mitchell were washed away.
1.-The excess of water in the Catawba
in Burke county, that washed away two
iron bridges, the new hotel at Gifts, and
the old Horse Ford bridge, which was
Toll DrluSe erected Sixty years dSOr
came mainly from the rainfall in Nc
Dowell and followed the central area
of the storm"
THREE BRIDGES GONE in WAKE.
Three long bridges over the Neuse
river in Wake county have been car
ried away by high water-Boyce's
Lawrence's and Parker's. The Law
renee bridge is a covered bridge and
was new, being completed only last
week. Many small bridges in Wake
over creeks have been washed away,
and in some directions it is difficult to
get to the city. Crops are badly in
jured all over the county. The Neuse
at the Falls, which was almost up to the
dam Saturday, fell four feet on Sunday.
The dyke of the Caledonia farm
which gave way is forty feet high. The
farm is completely flooded, and the
bitches that drain the farm are all full.
