The Columbian Life Insurance Co.

The Columbian Life Insurance Co.
The Boston Advertiser of this morning
mas the following article, criticising the
management and standing OF the Colum-
bian Life Insurance Co. of Providence:
The Columbian Life Insurance Co. of
Providence, X. l.. whose risks, after a short
career, have been transferred to ne Com
merciel Alliance Life Insurance Co. OF New
York, has not gratihed the expectations
OF Rhode Island people who were induced
TO subscribe stock to the venture, in the
belief that il would be developed into
local institution in which the city might
take pride.
The Columbian was started in septem-
ber, 1892, with capital stock of $780, 200,
by firm of life ham,
Trafford n Co.-consisting Of f. A. Dun
ham, II. l.. Trafford and G. A. Trafford.
The two TrafYords were made president
and secretary respectively, and f. ID. Dun
venture, accepted the vice. presidency.
One OF the first uses made of the stock
holders subscription was the expenditure
OF $50, 600 for the purchase of q controlling
interest In the Commercial Alliance Life
Insurance Company, whose affairs at that
time were in a declining condition. T.. A.
Durham then took the presidency, and by
a series of moves, has endeavored 10 put the
Commercial Alliance in a position Of solv-
ency toward its stock holders. His sue
cess has as yet been but partial. The COM
pany's capital stock of 900, 900 is at pres
ent reduced by impairment to $4,000.
In the meantime the Columbian Life,
after short struggle for existence and
with the largest portion of its assets con-
sisting OF heavily impaired stock in the
Commercial Alliance, has given up the
ghost and reposes In the arms Of the con-
Germ which, from the purchase OF its stock,
it might be inferred the Column bian
intended to absorb. The stock of the
Coumb mbian is now worth almost not hing.
At the time of it's exit the Columbian
had in force 479 policies, insuring $751;
250. The premium income during 1898
amounted to $4,000, and the expendit-
ures to Sol ZOO, OF which nearly $4,000
was on account of salaries alone. The
company paid the Commercial Alliance
go, lao for assuming its risks.
III. l.. TrafYord has been made vice. presi-
dent of the Commercial Alliance and A.
w. Trafford treasurer.

FAKE cheese and butter daily dur
ing the summer, and butter, only, or
neither during the winter. In Georgia
it is perfectly practica BILE to make cheese
or butter, or both, during the entire
year.
Cheese-Making at the Station.
On the 30th of May the cheese dairy
was put in operation, using the milk
from twelve cows, as already stated.
Mr.. Wing was somewhat nervous and
apprehensive, at the beginning of op-
erations, as was quite natural, consid-
ering that he was about to inaugurate
the business of cheese-making in an
altogether untried climate. 1t was
prophesied by friends that he would
find the climate and other natural con-
ditions in Georgia altogether unfavora-
BILE to cheese-making. 1t was insisted
that full cream" cheese could not be
made here in the summer time, that
the climate was too hot, the air too
moist, etc. These discouraging predic-
tions and warning but illustrate the err
roneous ideas in regard to our summer
climate that prevail generally in the
north. Mr.. Wing came to the station
in March; he com menced to make
cheese in May; he has continued to
Audhc CIlecSS IASlU GlIIOuBn Cne neat OF
summer, and nothing but full cream
cheese. He has had but one or two
partial failures, such as are occasional
in diaries everywhere, but in no man
ner connected with the weather or the
climate. AS the weather grew warmer
and the cheese commenced to ripen and
was finally offered for sale all doubts
and apprehensions were entirely dis
PEELED, and he is now of the opinion, so
far as the experience of one entire sum-
mer season can determine, that the eli
mate and other natural conditions of
Georgia, are fully equal, and in some
respects superior, for cheese dairying,
to those of Ohio or New York
During the first period (of few days
only of doubt, the cheeses were made
proof against long hot summer by
arts known to the eheese-maker, and
