HOMO TAKES A TRIP. , - v ' Visits Santuc and Teits of Some Indian Relics. Lockhart, Aug. 27, 1906.?With your permission I will give the readers of The Times some of my observations while attending the Union Baptist Association at Santuc. The most of the delegation were brought to that place by the Thursday morning train going South. On arriving at the station we found tnat a number ot freight tx>xes wore lKitween the passenger coaches and the waiting room and that the safest way of exit was on the west side. We proceeded up the track on foot to the church although wo learned afterwards that there were 4 some turnouts awaiting us on the other side. The venerable J. D. Mahon was in the lead. We considered him a safe guide therefore we followed him and we were soon in Salem church. The church is in a l>eautiful grove to the right of the Southern Ity. We found the Association already in session. Recess for dinner was soon announced. During the evening T wan turned over to the tender mercies of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Page who live a mile or two from Salem church. Their attention to my wants whether real or imaginary was such sis one will remember with much pleasure. They have two sons and one daughter with them, also a charming daughter, Miss Bessie, who played quite well on the organ. I met my friend, Hey Denver and was prevented from enjoying the hospitality of his home hy the threatening appearance of the clouds on Friday' evening. The Association finished the business before it on Friday evening. and on Saturday morning we turned our faees homeward. As Mr. T. J. Wood was there in a buggy 1 ac-! cepted a seat with him. I saw some as fine upland corn as I ever saw. It belonged to Hey , Denver, who on being questioned ( said that that was the best corn he had. It made me wonder as most. folks would have had a better piece j at 6ome point. We went by the dam at Neals i .Shoals, I failed to be greatly iin-1 pressed at what I saw. The roads were very near impassable in places. The cotton crop is quite poor in sandy land so poor that Mr. Wood j remarked about some fields: "It will push that feller to get his seed hack." On red land it is fair-; ly good; some fields have enough | open to be picked. Some time near! night I arrived home. In this connection let me say that FILL ELECTION Johnson For Congress Eight El CANDIDATES NAM Jos. T. Joh Congress CI. H. Mah |\V. C. Ihhy IjOWNDES J. Senate r> rr _________ Ben F. Tow H.C.Litti T.

T>anc Treasurer ||j. H. Barti 4 Mr. Page has some relics that he picked up at a washout on a bluff near the river near Fish Dam. One is a pot some five inches in diameter. It was shaped like an acorn and the outside was carved by having an ear of corn rolled over it while it was soft, leaving the imprint of the grains. It was in a good state of preservation. One soapstone marble, one quoit, three arrow heads, perfect; one javelin head, one piece of gun barrel with a silver sight and one petrified walnut with hull and part of stem intact are other relics. What excited my wonder more than any of them , was a fine grain stone somewhat in the shape of one that is used for whetting scythes. It was fashioned very nicely and it is as fine as any hone. Mr. Page uses it as a hone. In the same place are some human bones and pieces of pottery. ?, Homo. METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE DIVIDEND. Payment to Policyholders Involves $2,000,000. The Metropolitan I.if?> Insurance Com- ! pany has just declared a rash mortuary j dividend on jmlicies over o years in foree whirli have matured and shall mature in lfKXi. To rll death claims on policies over 5 years in force it adds 5 jht cent; to all death claims on policies over ('? years in foree, 0 jht cent., and an addi-1 tional I jht cent, for each year of duration. Thus the dividend on claims r ?ler policies over ten years in force is .j jht cent; over fifteen yearn, lo jht cent; over twenty yecre, 20 jht cent.; over twenty-five years, 2n jht rent; 1870, (ihe earliest issue,] 27 iht cent. The cost of this dividend payable <luring the current year is apyroximately ?t-1,2000,000. In addition to this the immediats l?enefits ] payable during the six months after date of issue] on adult industrial |?olicies, excepting term and endowment, issued during 1000 have lieen doubled. Certain increases have also Ihvii made in the benefits on infantile endowment policies during the first year. Tlie cost of these, which will operate as a dividend on all claims maturing during this year, on i no issue 01 mis year, is approximately a 150,000. These dividends an* over and above the dividend declared on iiulustrial policies January 1 last, which was a quinquennial cash dividend, amounting to about 20 iier cent, of the premium for a year, declared on all policies [except increasing life and endowment policies, which by their tcrnis carry lienefits inereaaing yearly after the third year, [ issued in 1881, 1886, 1801, 1806 Mid 1001. The amount appropriated for this dividend was aliout $082,000. Thus the company this year has declared and is paying dividends on industrial policies amounting to $2,000,(VX). ; Kvery one of these policies is non-participating, promising a definite sum only | at maturity, without dividends. The payment of the dividend is purely volun-1 tary. Dividends have lieen actually paid withoiis promise for many years l?y the I Metropolitan. The total amount now approximates !?10,?HJO,00<) in twelve years. The Metrop<>litan is the largest indus- . I RETURNS OF Sweeps Union?All ftr.tA/l nn Fir^t Rallnt=?

The Metro]?olitan Life Insurance Company baa written more business every year for the last twelve years than any 1 other insurance company in the world. The value and timeliness of the increased benefits given as stated uIkitc, may lie gleaned from the fact that of the tkoclaiins paid during 1005, 4,320 were on policies which had been in forceless than three months, 8,301 were on policies which had run less than six months, and 15,148 were within the first year of insurance.
