Sure To Win

About 35 years ago the Mutual Ben
eft Life Insurance company originated
what it designated as the Accelerative
Endowment Plan, the object being to
change a life or limited payment pol
icy into an Endowment, by allowing
the policy holder to leave his dividends
to accumulate instead Of using them
to reduce the annual cost, and as re-
suit each year hundreds Of policy hold
ers, who started out with Ordinary
Life or 20 Pay Life Policies years ago
the face Of the policies being payable
at death only, are each year receiving
the Full amount Of their policies in
Cash, while they are living. Here Is
a typical case:
Coldwater, Mich, Nov. 10, 1911
Mr.. F. N. Williams, District Mgr,
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.,
Coldwater, Mich.
Dear Mr.. Williams:
l am pleased to acknowledge receipt
of your Company's check for $2,618.02
being in full settlement Of my policy
which was originally issued upon the
Ordinary Life plan for $4,000. This
shows that my choice to apply annaul
dividends, which were large, upon your
Company's most unique and attractive
Accelerative Endowment plan, was a
wise one, and as the result Of this my
Ordinary Life policy was gradually
changed to an Endowment payable at
a continually decreasing age, until
now, at age So, or 81 years after the
issuance of the policy, receive
$2,61S.O2, which Is indeed most satis-
factory.
My policy was for $4,000 only, but I
now receive s2,61S.02. for which 1 only
paid premiums for 81 years at the Or
dinary Life rate. This is the best
thing / have ever known OF in the way
of a Life Insurance policy.
l cheerfully commend your Grand
Old Company to the insuring public.
Yours very truly,
JOHN M. CROCKER.

RICH AIKENITEs LEAVING.
Northerners Say They Will Not Stand
for Southern Treatment.


for Southern Treatment.
Much enraged over the case Of
Friedrich o. Beach, charged with muir
derously assaulting his beautiful wife,
according to an Aiken dispatch, the
entire northern colony here has de-
termined to leave Aiken and return
to its northern homes. It's members
say they will sell their homes. The
exodus will begin April 20. Among
those who will leave are Joseph Har-
riman, nephew Of the late E. H. Har-
riman; c. oliver Iselin, Fred Smith.
Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., and several
other millionaires.
1.-THE sooner they leave the better"
said Mr.. Gunter. "They tried to fake
us three ways from Sunday and we
would not stand for it. I hope to find
Pearl Hampton through my detectives
in two days or less"
1.-The south may be a tolerably rot
ten place." said Mayor Gyles, but we
do not believe in letting money have
any influence down here. We intend
to fight this Beach affair to the limit
and then some.
"The fact that people from the
northern settlement wired $1,000 to
Washington to get evidence against
Raughn has done them no good. 1t
has shown us that they are trying to
frA Of
wealth to put the quietus on this case,
and that can never be done.
Pearl Hampton's story, If gotten
correctly, will show you the entire
situation. I believe in no scandal,
but this Is a case when in justice to
Aiken we must come out in the open.
"If that negress will testify she will
say Beach hit her over the head with
a railing-a fence paling."
It has been definitely decided by
the Aiken authorities to reopen the
entire domestic history of Mrs. F. o.
Beach and her present husband In
case the parties ever return here to
face the charge that Mr.. Beach 1t
was, and not a negro, who attempted
to kill Mrs. Beach. Notwithstanding
Mr. Beach's cabled assurance that he
will return from Europe Immediately
and stand arraignment, Aiken officials
persist in the attitude Of doubt. They
reiterated that they do not believe
either Mr.. Beach or his wife will come
back into this bailiwick.
The intense feeling aroused In con-
sequence Of the Beach affair against
the northern colony at Aiken is like
| ly, 1t is feared, to spread to other
northern resorts where wealthy New
Workers are settled for the winter and
early spring seasons.
