OTHER NEWS OF ENSLEY

Ensley, January Especial There
has been more activity in political circles
this week than at any time since the pri-
mary election. While the supporters Of
both tickets have been busy, most OF their
work has been confined to committee
work, and lights can be seen at either of
the headquarters almost every evening,
where suggestions from those who have
been circulating among the voters are
made. and plans have been carefully
formed for the real fight which will prob
ably be on in earnest next week,
Various rumors have been circulated
concerning the stating of "A ticket by the
Citizens league, naming a chief of police
and street commissioner that would re-
ceive their support, but none of these
rumors could be confirmed.
1t is very evident that there will be
som ething doing now very shortly, how
ever. for the two local weekly papers have
commenced to publish articles supporting
opposite tickets, and it is said that there
will be some public speaking next week.
There Is just about three weeks left
them, and 1T looks now as though these
will be three lively ones.
Nominees are very active, and say they
are preparing for big doings" next week.

LIBERAL POLICIES FOR PRESENT
YEAR.
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Distributed Big Dividend.

"A 100000 dividend to all policyholders
has been declared by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company for the year
1907. This company which has always
been noted for the liberal policy on
which 1t is managed has already dis
tributed in dividends to its policyholders
about sl0,0o00OO in the last eight years.
and the new dividend of S2,0000O0 will
bring its voluntary disbursements to pol
icyholders up to the immense sum of
$l2 100000.
On all industrial whole life policies
dated prior to January /. 1903. a dividend
equivalent to four weeks premiums, or
about S per cent of the premiums for the
year, has been declared This dividend
will amount to s1.o000O0, and in the dis
tribution of profits. will be included all
holders of life policies in those companies
which have been consolidated with the
Metropolitan.
further mortuary dividend of another
million has been declared in the Indus
trial department. This applies to all
death claims incurred during the year
ending Decemb er 81, 1907, where the pol
icy has been in force over five years
In the case of death claims, the divi-
dend has been apportioned according to
the age Of the polic,. If the policy has
been in force five years. the beneficiary
Will be entitled to a dividend of per
cent. where it has been in force ten
years the dividend is 10 per cent; and
so on up TO 20 years. when the dividend
will equal % per cent of the claim.
Other benefits which the officers of the
company have brought about for the
policyholders are the increase in value
of all industrial policies six months from
their date, and the liberty which is given
to all policyholders over so years of age
who have paid premiums for Is years
or more to receive the face value of the
policy in cash or full paid-up policy
In financial circles this action of the
Metropolitan is looked upon as marking
new era in life insurance history, and the
voluntary conversion by the company of
whole life policies into endowments or
fully paid-up insurance is said to be the
most liberal concession ever made by any
industrial insurance company.
