the following widely known bicycles:
The Remington (SlOO, all grades). for the

who want to lead everything they find on
the road or track.
The nineteen-pound Heating, SIS and
800, for the ladies and those who are OPP
posed to the use of heavier wheels and
who want the greatest and lightest guar
anteed bicycle in the world.
The Eagle, at $50, for those riders who
cannot afford either of the above wheels

money

anteed for one year, and at $3.50 these
wheels are the great bikes for the

NOTICE.


Controller Generals Office, Insurance
Department, Atlanta, Ca, March is, 1897.
In view of the great number Of letters
that am receiving daily from all sections
of the state, inquiring if the Georgia Mu-
tual Fire Insurance companies doing bus
mess in this state have any deposits Of
securities with the state treasurer or any
capital or assets, I am convinced that
there is general misapprehension on the
part OF the people of Georgia as to just
what requirements are imposed by the
state upon this class of fire insurance COM
panies.
In order, therefore. that the public may
be officially informed on this point, 1 de-
ance companies engaged in business in
this state known as the Georgia Mutuals,
all of which have but recently been or
ganized under charters granted by the leg
stature to do a fire insurance business on
the mutual plan are not required to have
any capital, assets or a deposit with the
state treasurer for the protection of their
policy holders. 1t will thus be seen that
these companies must necessarily depend
entirely upon premiums or assessments
collected from their policy holders or
members for funds with which to pay
losses.
These companies, having compiled with
the provisions of their charters granted by
the legislature, it is made my duty to Ii
cense said companies to do a mutual fire
insurance business in this state, which
have done. WILLIAM A. WRIGHT

that way would have made tie.

A Strong Delegation to BE Sent to the
State Convention.
Sanford. Fla, March 2O.-Orange county
will be wei represented at the good roads
convention in Jacksonville next week, as
no county in the state can show more
progress in good roads building the first

don't intend to slack up until the whole
county is covered with good clay or shell
roads. The permanent organization made
at the good roads congress in Orlando had
Gen. Roy Stone for. president and Col
Thomas J. Appleyard of the Gate City
Chronicle of this city as secretary. The
latter gentleman not only has his widely
circulated paper to use in the interest of
the movement but he is also secretary of
the state Senate, and when the legislature
meets in April he will be right in it,"
so far as aiding desirable good roads leg
islation. He is an indefatigable worker,
and for ten years has been connected Of
fcially with the Florida legislature and
the state offices, always serving the peo-
pie with energy and fidelity. This has
brought him to the secretaryship of the
Senate, where he has proven himself the
right man in the right place.

Atlanta, Ca. March 2O.-The application
TO have a resale of the Chattanooga
Southern railroad was not argued in the
federal court before Judge Newman to-
day. according to the notice to that eff
feet filed several days ago by attorneys
representing Carter & Rogan, the con-
tractors, whose judgment for $4,000 has
not been paid, and on account of the fall
ure to pay which by the reorganization
committee the motion 10 have the prop

Tompkins, representing the Central Trust
Company. the hearing was put of until
next Saturday
Meantime il is stated by the attorneys
for the road that the judgment may be
paid and the motion abandoned. The diff
ficulty over the payment of the judgment
seems to have grown out of the suit of
the wife of j. d. Carter, the senior men,
Der of the firm, who some weeks ago APP
piled to Fulton superior court to have
Carter's share of the money attached in
her favor. pending suit for alimony Car
ter deserted her several years ago and,

SUICIDE TO ESCAPE SORROW.
An Insurance Solicitor of Atlanta
Ends His Life.

An Insurance Solicitor of Atlanta
Ends His Life.
Atlanta, Ca, March 20.-R. NJ. Dowdell,
an insurance solicitor, connected with the
Kentucky Mutual Insurance Company,
committed suicide this Afternoon by taking
a dose of laudanum. The exact cause of
his act is not known, but it is supposed
that grief over the death of his wife,
which occurred several weeks ago, together
with financial troubles, made him tired of
life This afternoon about o'clock, Dow
dell walked into Smenner's drug store, at
the corner of Frazier and Fair streets,
and asked if he could lie down for a
while. He and the proprietor of the place
were well acquainted and without suspect
ing anything, Mr. Smenners offered him
the use of a lounge in a back room The
man remarked that he was awfully sleepy,
but still he could not get any sleep. After
he had been in the room some time the
druggist had his attention attracted by his
loud breathing. He at once went back
and found Dowdell in a stupor. Doc
tors were called, but they could do nothing
10 save him and he died in a few min
utes after they arrived.
Dowdell lived at No. % East Ellis street.
He was middle aged and leaves a daugh-
ter, who is now in Rome, Ga. He left no
letter or papers of any kind explaining why
he had killed himself and the only ex-
planation of his friends is that of money
troubles and sorrow at the death of his
wife. So far as can be learned there is
nothing wrong in his business affairs with
the company for which he worked

very exciting one until the election of a
United States senator is disposed of in
regular order. Col Chipley, while a

Call will make a desperate effort to defeat
him through any kind of a combination
of forces possible TO secure that end. The
ex-senator has some very active partisans,
who are now members of the House, to
whom he was wholly indebted for his
last election. They are INSCRIPTIONS in
their methods. and while It is hardly pos
eible that Call can be reelected, IL is safe
to believe that the successful candidate
cannot now be named. Judge Rainey is
a popular and strong man all over the
state, but he would require a good part
of the Call support 10 secure an election.
