by the audience of several hundred
men, women and children who
crowded every foot of the court
room, for he was at his best. DR..
J. P. McFerrin introduced the speak
er in the we'll chosen words and
polished sentences that make it al
ways a pleasure to hear him.
Mr. Smith wasted no time in rhet-
Orical flowers or oratorical flights,
but at once took up the everyday,
commonplace problems demanding
the consideration of the people.
Mr.. Smith, in his opening remarks,
said that now the campaign is
thing of the past the citizens of all
political affiliations might forget it
and unite in a harmonious effort to
develop the material resources of the
state. He told in glowing terms of
the wonderful advantages of this
section of the south and of the great
possibilities of future wealth that lie
IN some measure dormant in Geor-
gia soil.
The speaker said it was something
like carrying Goals to Newcastle" to
talk to a Terrell county audience
about improved methods of farm
ing, but he insisted that few farm
ers, even among the best, realize
fully the immense possibilities of a
single acre of good soil under scien-
tific and intensive methods of farm
ing. He referred to the farmer of
Terrell county who had produced 161
bushels of corn on an acre of land
as a public benefactor
He urged the importance of bet
ter understanding of the value of
scientific investigation as applied to
the practical details of the farm. He
cited the instance of the state of
Iowa, where the value of the corn
crop had been increased not less
than $4,000 600 per year by the
use of improved seed corn planted,
and other instances of similar
character we're referred to-
The speech throughout was re-
plete with practical suggestions along
this line.
In closing his speech he made
most eloquent reference to the hero
ism, in peace and in war, of the
ed a story of The Man of the 18th.
of May at Spottsylvania in 1864,
when Gen. John B. Gordon, who
with a mere handful of Georgia an
Carolina soldiers, held at bay end
finally defeated the onslaught Of the
federal hosts on the center of Lees
line of battle He merriCned this in
stance of desperate and heroic valor
against Overwhelming odds as illus
trating the qualities of the people
who had redeemed and built anew
the fortunes and glory of the de-
wasted south, and that as they were
capable of accomplishing great
things in war so are they equally
competent and capable of carrying
their section to higher ideals of ma
terial progress and development.
The speaker held the close at
tention of his audince, all of whom
were convinced Of the value of the
suggestions made for the improve
ment and betterment of the condi-
tions of farm life in Georgia
Mr. Smith arrived in Dawson on
the early Central train Friday morn
ing, and was met by a brass band and
a committee composed of q large
number of men and ladies and es-
cOrted to the Dawson Inn.
During the morning he Yves taken
on an automobile ride to the coun-
try, and given look at some of
Terrell county's fine farm lands.

A CARD FROM Mr.. LOYLESS
VcePresident of the Southern Life Insurance Company
of Dawson, Georgia.

To Our Policy Holders: We know
there has been quite a confusion
lately on account of delayed assess
ment notices Just sent out, which has
not been voluntary on our part, but
was instructions from the Insurance
Commissioner, and which we had to
obey.
Unless these notices are sent out
as fast as deaths occur, less the &C
cumulations that go as dividends, the
company can never pay promptly,
and under the plan of waiting for
death these claims accumulate I'M
less immediate assessments CORES
pOnding with those claims are sent
out.
With the view of accommodating
the masses of our policy holders,
who are poor people, these assess
ments have been delayed, and it was
thought by some Of the company
that their interests would be best
served by waiting until fall, when
money is more plentiful, and double
the assessments until they were all
paid.
But our advice from the Insurance
Commissioner, as stated, was to send
out all the claims at once. Hence
the situation.
The subscriber was opposed to this
plan of insurance before the com
pany ever offered it's first policy, and
advocated the plan then that goes
into effect December 1st-collecting
the first of every month in advance,
or quarterly, or semi-annually or an
nually, as preferred. Had this been
started with, the company would now
have had on hand over 100000 and
every claim paid, including those
just sent out. Below is the number
of assessments sent out in each di-
vision each year:
