Florida during the controversy. In a
somewhat extended interview printed in
an evening paper of Washington the

= The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution gives
the following as the result of the invest.
ments of Maj. Campbell Wallace, of that
city, in the Elyton Land Company of
Birmingham, Ala. 1t reads like fairy
tale, but may be genuine: "Major Wal.
lace has drawn over $1,000 in cash div.
idends on his $4,000 investment. He has
drawn $4,000, or three times his invest
ment, in dividends this year, with four
months to hear from. Besides paying
such dividends, the company has over
$2,O00,0O0 in cash assets, exclusive of
its land, which has hardly been touched.
The shares are now worth $4,000 each.
Major Wallace received for his $4,000
cash $4,000 in stock, or 120 shares,
worth now in open market 1000 share,
or $4S0,000. He has distributed most of
his stock among his children, and Mrs.
Mynatt has just received and refused an
offer of $50, 900 for her share. This reads
like fairy tale-an investment of Sc, 900
paying over 100000 dividends in twelve
years, and then being worth $4S0,000 in
cash. The Elyton Company on paid in
capital of 100000 has paid over 81 ,500,-
600 in dividends, has $2,000,000 in assets,
besides its land, and its stock is now
worth S., 100000. ThissLock was hawked
about Atlanta few years ago at 18 cents
on the dollar"
