CURE MS OPPOSITION Atlanta, Sept. 30.-The Atlanta police court's "bread and water" treatment of plain drunks 1s about to strike a snag, though it waa originat ed with the best of motives. For some weeks past the city recorder has been imposing sentences of "ten days in a cell on bread and water," fa cases of drunkenness. It has been regarded as a good tfaing, and aa an aid to breaking up the habit, but the difficulty is -now that the drunks don't like it, and one of them has raised the point that the city lias no rlRht to inflict, such S punishment no more right in fact than it would bave to string a man up by th thumbs, or give him the Spanish "water cure" or place him on the rack of the inquisition. 'P.'cre ia a constitutional right, guaranteed to every man that no court can inflict upon him any "cruel or unusual punishment." The drunks have raised the point hat while there may be some argu nent as to whether bread and water s literally cruel or not there can be io question that it is an unusual pun 's: 7nent. The ymalhtaln that the word "unusual" ia in the constitution or the very purpose of preventing in livldual judges from exercising their ivhims in inflicting sucli unexpected Tjnlshments as "ten days on bread md water." They say the recorder's natives may be the best, but that he s a police court Judge and not the iroprletor of an institute or a danl arium and that fae has not right to nfliot special diets, even upon a Irunkard if the drunkard objects.

Some the of Readers of The Enquir er who do not claim that they "Do not read advertisements," will, I am sure, freely admit that they have read an advertisement which appeared in several previous Issues, in which tiie Agent of Another Company, but who carries Insurance in the Mutual Bene?

Durlug the sixteen years that I have represented thc company I have delivered checks segregating $6.000 that would not havo been paid by any other company. Ono of thc most remarkable caaes in the whole history of the Company, and the one Isolated case In the history of life insurance recently happened at Manning, s. C. Following ls a copy of a circular letter sent out by M. M. Mattison of Anderson, General Agent for the Mutual Benefit, under date of May 14. 1915, under the title of AN 'EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Under date of the 8th instant, our Mr. E. C. Horton of Manning, wrote as follows: "In re policy No. 573,906-D, B. Davis, I regret that assured was kill ed yesterday afternoon, four o'clock p. m., in store building which was destroyed in the terrific cyclone. I note that assured's policy was extend ed until May 7th, 1916, the exact date of his death. Please advise status of policy." Upon investigation we found that a policy for $4,000 was issued on the life of Mr. Davis in 1911, that lt lapsed be cause of non-payment ot premium du J .October 1st, 1914; that the cash value ?the .policy bad been exhausted by ink tn same, but was In force at time of party's death because ot our rules tn reference to the payment of dividends. Under Mutual Benelt policios, divi dends after the first are not condi tioned upon payment ot premiums; so when this policy lapsed the Company automatically applied the Final Divi dend of $17.99, aa a credP ?fn the Icon which as you can understand revived or restored an equal amount Of the cash value, which vallie was sufficient to extend the insurance for ?18 days, or through May 7, 1915. The extend ed insurance period therefore expired last Friday night, a few hours after Mr. Davis was killed. Mr. Horton has been Instructed to rjake up proofs of loss, and juat as quickly as pos sible we will make settlement with (he beneficiary, Mrs. Sue Davis, wife of the deceased. I wish to eau your attention to the following points: First. If our dividends were con ditioned upon the payment of' prem iums, there, would have been no ex tended insurance Second.

C., May 18. 1916. MK. E. C. HORTON. District Agent, "Manning, S. C. Dear Slr: lt scorns almost providential that my late hus band chose to place his Insurance in thc Mutual Benefit. 1 was never more surprised in my life than when told by you thal the policy issued by your Company on the lifo of my late husband was in force ai the time he met his death in the terrible cyclone which visited our community a few days ago, and that I would receire approximately $4.000 therefrom. I could hardly believe what you told me to be possible, for Mr. Davis, after keeping up the policy for a few years, which he was able to do only because of the assistance he got !n the way of loans on same. Anally, BB ho thought, gave up Ute In surance when the 1914 premium fell duo. I know Mr. Davis believed that the insurance ceased to be in force when he fail ed to pay the last premium, and lt is therefore with mingled surprise and gratitude that I have received at your hands the Mutual Benefit's check for $3,849.51. I understand that this policy would have expired within a few hours after my husband's death, and that it was kept alive from October of last year because of tho liberality of thc policy and the practices of thc Mutual Benefit; ai HO. that un der the same circumstances lt is doubtful if any other com pany would have paid the claim. * I want the world to know what you and your company have done for mc. and (n connection with this letter you will please publish all the facts.

Davis, of Manning after giving you some of tho details, 1 called your attention to sev eral points which mark thia as one of the most striking experiences in the whole history of Ute insurance, and which shows that it is extremely fortunate for the beneficiary thnt this insurance was in the Mutual Benefit I wish now to give you some further details. In reply to our inquiry, the Com pany ias written as follows: "If policy No. 673,906, Davis, which lapsed by non-payment of Ute prem ium due Oct .1st, 1914, had not been entitled to the Special 1914 devidend of $2.93, the extended Insurance would have expired on April 1st, 1915. If thc final dividend under this policy had amounted to $17.00 instead of $17.99, the extended insurance would have expired on April 25th, 1915." In July, 1911, Policy No. 573,905, for $4,000, on the 20-Payment Life plan, was issued to Mr. Davis, with term premium from date of isnuo to Octo ber 1st, term promlum only having. been paid at tho time of delivery. The regular premium due October 1st, 1911, was paid in full, but when the October. 1912, premium became due Mr. Davis went to our Agent, Mr. Hor ton, and ?tated that he would bc compelled to drop this policy, that ho couldn't raise tho money with which to pay tho premium, etc. Mr. Horton explained that his policy provided for a loan almost sufficient to take care ot the second regular premium, and fi nally induced Mr. Davis to avail him self of the loan, and thereby save his Insurance. The amount of cash ac tually paid by Mr. Davis in settlement of 'ho 1912 premium waa $10.71. Then, when the 1913 premium came around Mr. Horton had even greater difficulty In gjttlng Mr. Davis to arrange the premium. Finally on November 29, Mr. Davis furnished re-lnatatement certificate and arranged that year's premium by paying in cash $37.67. As to what happened in 1914. I quote Mr. Horton : "In October, 1914, he brought his policy and delivered it to me in my office, and no amount of pleading on my part could or did have any effect He said he was not able to pay the premium, and having exhausted hts loan value, he could not receive any help from the Cotrfp?hy.' Hi left tho policy In my possession, considering lt of no value, until I received a card from you saying that lt was continued in full force until May 7th, 1915 . . . I don't think I have Over known of a case where party tried aa bard and persistently to get rid of . a policy aa did this Insured, and had it not been for our most liberal contract he would not have had the policy after the first year. Ho leaves a wife and two bablos, and this money, together with one other policy of $1,000, is all they have." Yours very truly, . M. M.
