STATEMENT ISSUED
BY INSURANCE FIRM
Life Insurance Company of Virginia
Increased Assets and Business
Volume in 1886

The 66th annual report of The Life
Insurance Company of Virginia pub
lished today, further testifies to the
stability of life insurance in general
and of this company in particular.
Corresponding with S. C. Stephen
son and ] E. Smith, agents, of Hen
derson, Bradford H. Walker, president
acclaims the current financial state
ment as exceptionally favorable. He
also gives generous credit to the COM
pany's field representatives for their
cooperation in 1886, and gratefully &C
knowledges the confidence expressed
by the company's million-odd policy
owners.
Mr.. Walker emphasizes the follow
ing as specially significant in the COM
pany's Goth annual accounting:
Insurance in force was expanded by
more than $23,OOO,OOO, and now stands
at $440,00O,00O.
Assets were increased by nearly &c.
100000, to total approximating $780,
100000. Included in assets are CAPT
tai, surplus and contingency reserves
amounting to almost $4,000, O0O-an
unusual margin of additional protec-
ton for pOlicyowners.
Cash on hand and in banks, and
quickly marketable securities are ade-
quate to meet all demands.

SENTIMENT HERE
DIVIDED ON COURT
Some Think 1t Is Too Much
Power for President;
Others Differ

Sentiment in Henderson is divided
over the proposal of President Roose-
Welt for increasing the membership
of the United States Supreme Court
from the present nine justices to a
total of fifteen.
There are those who think the pro-
iect would confer entirely too much
authority and power upon the Presl-
dent and virtually make him die
tator since he already has Congress
under his thumbs, and since the nam
inc of the additional members of the
Supreme Court would give him still
more leeway.
But there are others who are ready
to trust the President in virtually
anything he asks for and are Wiling
to give him the power he now seeks.
It was really surprising today, at
least to some, as the growing interest,"
of the general public in the proposal.
Drug store crowds are freely discuss
ing the idea, and some heated argu-
ments have ensued. Sharp cleavage
of public opinion has developed in
some of these discussions. But with 1t
II all. the fact that the public is
aroused. whether for or against, was
taken as a wholesome indication OF
greater interest IN the conduct of the
nations affairs.
1t is developing gradually that
number of local people have written
or telegraphed North Carolina sena-
tors and representatives as to their
views, and urging these members OF
the Congress to stand for or against
as the individual may view the sltua-
ton.
That the procedure of the debate In
Washington is being watched closely
is very evident here. There is even
some sentiment for national plebls-
cite on the issue.

PROGRAM THURSDAY
Will Give Demonstration at Assembly
Period at High School on
Thursday Morning

A program is to be given by the
venetian Glass Blowers during the as
sembly hour at 1920 a. M. at the Hen
derson high school on Thursday of
this week, Prof w. D. Payne, the
principal, announced today.
The program is offered "as some
thing educational, interesting and en-
pertaining, showing the wonderful art,
science and skill of the finished

strates the blowing, silvering, spin
ming and decorating of glass, and
makes various articles, such as ships,
Venetian vases, birds and animals in
glass; A lecturer accompanies the de-

ture of glass both in ancient and in
modern times, how the different
colors are obtained, and the value
glass has been to the arts, science and
industry of the world.
The program, which has been given
in schools and colleges for many
years, has the endorsement of edu-
catipnal authorities throughout the
entire country, Prof. Payne said.

the United States capable of doing
skillful work of this kind"
small admission will be charged,

WEATHER MAN HAS
TRICKS FOR TRADE
Seems Unable To Decide just what
Kind of Brand To Offer In
This Territory

The weather man pulled new tricks
out of his bag to offer this section
today, just as last week in a single
day the three elements of snow, sleet
and rain were experienced, together
with a bright sunshine. Today there
was an early morning rain, with good
prospects at that time for an all-day
downpour In half an hour the sun
was shining brightly. Then a brisk
north wind blew in, giving every one
the shivers if outdoors. Cloudy gath
cred overhead and there was wonder
whether the next change would be
rain or snow--or neither-but what
ever it might be. The eastern sky
began to brighten toward the noon
day hour but everywhere else clouds
were thick and low. The weather
man was offering new tricks in a sim
gle day, and had everybody guessing.
He was at his old pastime of playing
hide and seek with the elements.

VEGETATION SHOWS
SIGNS OF SPRING
Very Little of Real Winter
Yet, But 1t Is Not Too
Late For 1t

Whether there will be any real win
ter here or not, the fact that the sec
ton has come through all but two or
three weeks Of the winter period with
out more than two or three hard
freezes has left a period of unusually
mild weather for the three months
thus far, and vegetation is showing
decided signs of approaching spring
Some flowers already are in full
bloom, and the sap is rising in trees.
Here and there tiny buds common to
the spring season are in evidence on
trees, and another two or three weeks
without severe weather will see this
condition much further advanced.
February is known as treacherous
month and there is none too much
certainty about the type of weather
that may be expected in the first half
of March, SO that there is much ap-
prehension lest vegetation will be
carried SO far by mild temperatures
at this time that a hard freeze later
on might ruin much of the prospect
of fruits and flowers for the entire
year.
With more than half of February
gone, however, there is the consola-
ton felt by many that, come what
may it can't last as long as the ex-
tremely severe winter of a year ago.
While there has been a good deal Of
rain and very little sunshine along
with the mild temperatures thus far,
many people much prefer this con-
dition to that which prevailed for
three or four months in the winter
of 1885, which set a record all resi-
dents hope they will not be called
| upon to go through with again.
