L llldllCldl COnu1t1On OF future gen
erations, if every father and mother in
this country could be convinced that,
through Life Insurance and the neces-
sary, systematic savings required by it.
could be laid the foundations of a
fortune for his family or for the
future families of his sons and daugh-
tiers.
Let us suppose that the benefcent
effects of Life Insurance, understood
by both parents, be thoroughly utilized
for the family's good We would then
see some such course followed as
this:
First: At the birth of each child
a policy of Life Insurance would be
taken out on the fathers life to mature
in twenty years; this would provide the
funds to rightly start the children along
life's path just when they become of
age.
Second: The boy would be taught to
insure his own life for moderate amount,
at fifteen, or whenever he first began
to earn his own money.
Third: He would be taught to in
crease this insurance from year to year
as he could afford it.
Fourth: He would receive when of
age the money from the policy taken
out by his father
Fifth: He would receive, at middle
age, large sums of money, a fortune,
through his own investments in Life Insur-
ance policies.
Can you not see how this deeply
rooted idea of saving, inculcated early,
would make rich and independent those
who otherwise would foolishly fritter
away and squander their spare in
comes?
| have explained in my former articles
the full details of these plans. If you
have not read them, or desire further
information, write to me for it. More
particularly do | request the wives
and mothers to let me inform them
on this subject of Life Insurance,
which is of SO much Importance to
them and to the welfare of their
families.
If fathers and mothers would only
take the time to thoroughly investi-
gate the wisely planned systems of
Life Insurance, few would fail to i'm
prove the opportunity to provide for
me tVItf e '4t ItS " HLt present, PFOS-
perity OF middle life and comfort Of
old age.
Methodically providing for a fortune
in middle life would enable every man
to feel at ease about his ability to meet
the multiplied responsibilities which
mature years bring to all and give
him a chance to slacken his ener-
gies to provide for his declining
years.
Ones children brought up under
influence of this kind would follow
such examples of provident provision
for the future.
Christmas is here with all its good
cheer and brightness. Many are at
a loss to know just what to give loved
ones, but happily, in this land of plenty,
few feel that they are too poor to do
anything on this the haPpiest holiday
of the year Many eXpend at Christ
mas large sums of money on perishable
articles that are of little pleasure or
use to the person to whom they are
given. Let us this year cOnfine our

DAMAGE SUIT BEFORE
THE SUPERIOR COURT

Negro Seeks $1,000 Damages for In
jury 20 His Leg.
Alleging that he was injured while
working for Solomon Sheftall, James
Bennett. colored, is suing for damages
in the sum of $1,000.
The case occupied the greater part
of the session of the Superior Court
yesterday. and will not be concluded
until to-day. Twiggs & oliver repre-
sent the plaintiff and Mr.. P. ]. OCon-
nor and Mr.. H. L. Wilson represent
the defendant.
According to the allegation of the
plaintiff, he was employed by Mr.
Sheftall to do draying. Two "skids
were provided on which to roll the
heavy barrels of syrup from the
ground to the delivery wagon. The
complainant states that he called at
tention to the fact that the skids were
apparently weak, but he was assured
they were strong enough for all pur-
poses. While rolling a heavy barrel
of syrup up the skids. one of them
broke and the barrel fell upon his right
leg, crushing it badly.
The broken skid was introduced as
evidence, and it was over this that
there was a long wrangle between Mr.
Oliver and Mr. Wilson. A witness was
put on the stand and asked to tel
what the skid was made of, whether il
was customary to use ash or oak fol
skids, whether the skid in question haC
once been used for a wagon tongue
how long it had probably been used
and many other questions of a similar
nature. For a time each question was
objected to by the other side, and this
part of the evidence required severa
hours to complete.
