AMERICAS NEEDS
LOCAL INSURANCE.
Home Company Might Han
die Large Lines.
PLENTY Capital, is AVAILABLE.
Successof New Company In Another
Town Is Presented Here as an
Earnest of What Our Business Men
Might Accomplish Also.

A short news item published in the
dispatches yesterday would seem a
topic of great interest to the business
men of Americus, inasmuch as they
could bring about similar conditions
here, to their mutual benefit, and pro-
vide great financial institution for
Americus as we'll.
Following is the item to which refer
ence is here made,
Athens, Ga, Feb. 5.-The Athens
Mutual Insurance Company, though
less than o year old, has declared a
dividend of 25 per cent. H.. FL. Carl
ton is president and A. T.. Brooks Sec
rotary, and their excellent manage
ment is shown in the handsome divi-
dend."
A new company, one year in exist
ence, pays Its stockholders dividend
of 25 percent, and this in competition
with :old and established companies
both within and without the s'trust. !"
Would any Investment of capital
bring a better return?
Several times in recent years Ameri
Gus business men have discussed well
the proposition to establish q mutual
fire insurance company here, but the
suggestion has never taken substan-
tial shape. 1t would seem that the
present is a good time for them to
make start.
Ample capital could be secured right
here. Every dollar of stock required
could be raised in a days time, and
insurance men here would
be put at the head of the company.
And they would declare 20 per cent
dividends here, as does the Athens
and do it often, too.
Property owners In Americus pay
$35, 900 annually in ''pre
to companies represented in
the insurance trust, and the gradual
IN insurance rates in re-
cent years will increase this amount
rather than diminish 1t. No relief here
If the trust companies can make
enormous profits in Americas, why
cannot home company, ably man
aged, do the same thing?
The total fire losses in Americas las.
year were just 1878, while we paid
$35, 600 for protection; the trust COM
panies clearing $4,000 in one year
alone. And the record for the year.
observation-disclosures almost as good
Suppose home company had shared
in these enormous profits?
With such an excellent fire depart
ment as Americus has, the risk from
fire here is reduced to the minimum.
The entire fire loss here for ten years
is probably less than half the amount
of premiums paid the trust companies
in single year. There's food herein
for reflection.
Let our business men consider this
subject seriously. A home company
could do a large and remunerative
business in Americus.

began using Electric Bitters, which did
me more good than all the medicines /
ever used. They have also kept my
wife in excellent health for years. She
says Electric Bitters are just splendid for
