me that ne had written me that ii
was not necessary for me to come, as
the bill was satisfactory. / have
never received the letter.
/ appreciate any efforts made by
Mr.. Melton in behalf OF the Farmers

been forced TO discontinue business.
I am also thankful TO Senators Shep-
herd OF Americas, T. ". Oliver OF
Georgetown and W. D. Crawford OF
Buena Vista, who also rendered ser
vice in getting these amendments
through.
The question of playing a political
trick was as far from my thought as
could be. In my efforts 10 save the
Farmers Fire Insurance Company,
after receiving the telegram from
Mr.. Shepherd, l undertook to enlist
the assistance OF every interested
party possible. / communicated
by telephone with several interested
parties in Terrell county, requesting
a petition to be sent TO the senate

heads Of the divisions in all Of the
other counties requesting them TO do
the same thing. l prevailed upon
Mr.. D. c. Pickett to go with me be-

service in the interest Of the com
pany. SO far as the interest of the
com pany is concerned I am very glad
Mr.. Pickett went, for the reason that
he rendered splendid service in
helping TO maintain the company.

should take offense al the fact that
Mr.. Pickett did this service for the
Farmers Fire Insurance Company.

the fact that the daily newspaper
representatives observed that Mr.,

Mr.. MELTON DECLARES HE SAVED IT

it is very evident that he didn't save
it 90 as he saves other things for
his friends.
A few reasons why Mr.. Pickett
claims your suffrage: He is every
body's friend. He tells you so him
self. He has done so much for this
county and whole country. He will
save you from your tribulations and
trials. He saved the City Court
when presented with three-fourths
of the county's tax payers asking
that the legislature abolish it. OF
course, incidentally, he also saved
some jobs connected with it, and it
was through his influence doubtless
that his loyal friend" Thos. e.
Watson, was saved a seat in the
Democratic National Convention at
Baltimore.
Oh. he e a saver according to
Hoyl!" How unfortunate the courts
didn't call on him to save the miss
ing books of his defunct life insur-
ance company. B. F. MELTON.

GIIRR SAYS COMPANY WAS SAVED BY SENATE

myself-prepared four amendments
TO the general insurance bill, and all
of US went to work faithfully TO get
these amendments passed in the SEN
ate. We met WITH success. Perhaps
q majority OF the members Of the
senate agreed TO support our amend
ments. The insurance committee OF
the senate agreed 10 our amend
ments; also the chairman Of the in
surance committee Of the house
agreed to our amendments. The
four amendments were in effect as
follows:
First: To relieve companies like
the Farmers Fire Insurance Com
pany from making the deposit as re-
quired Of old line companies.
Second: To relieve companies
like the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company from using the stand
ard uniform policies provided for old
line fire insurance companies.
Third. To relieve companies like
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company from paying to the Insur-
ance Commissioner one-tenth Of one
per cent of their gross receipts for
the purpose Of paying an insurance
inspector to be employed by the state
for the purpose of adjusting losses,
etc.
Fourth: To relieve companies
like the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company from paying the audi
tors fees Of an expert to be appoint
ed by the Insurance Commission.
Without the two first amendments
above mentioned the Farmers Fire
Insurance Company could not have
remained in business. Without the
third and fourth amendments the
Farmers Fire Insurance Company
would have had useless burden up
on it, for which there is no provision
in the policy to raise the money to
meet the expenses of the insurance
expert and of the fire inspector.
After the senate had agreed to
over TO the hall of the house Of rep
resentatives and saw Mr.. Melton. l
called his attention to the fact that
Senator Shepherd had telegraphed
me TO go to Atlanta and look after
the insurance bill, and called Mr..
Melton's attention to the amend
ments which had been prepared and
which the senate had agreed to. Mr..
Pickett was with me when ! was talk
ing to Mr.. Melton. The whole matter
was pleasantly discussed, and, as I
supposed, was fully understood by

Says Insurance Bill Was Amended in
House and Became a Law just as
1t Went ThrOnGh That Body.

To the Voters of Terrell County:
The last issue of The Dawson News
prints an article which first appear
ed in the Atlanta Constitution, which
SAYS that our local fire insurance
company was saved from wreck and
ruin by the Hon. Dewitt c. Pickett
of Terrell county, Ga, upon the pas
sage of the insurance bill by the leg
islature.
Mr.. Pickett has no interest what
ever in this company, and yet ne
claims that he saved it from ruin.
If my memory serves me right there
was once upon a time a life insur-
ance company in Terrell county IN
which he was very much interested
that was sadly in need of saving,
and vet what did Mr.. Pickett do?
WHY. he saved himself with all OF
his Interests and let the company go
to the bow-wows, and that is where
it ia till this day.
The Truth of the Matter.
The insurance bill before the Leg
islature required all companies to
make a deposit OF ten thousand dol
las before they could do business
Ours being local mutual assessment
company l very well knew that 1t
could not afford to do this. so
interested a member of the House, a
prominent Georgia lawyer, and we
drew up the amendment to it, elm
mating this deposit feature as ap-
plied to mutual assessment compa-
MES like ours, and it went through
without a dissenting vote in the
house. 1t was adopted by the Sen
ate word for word as it went from
the House. 1t is now a law Just as
it went through the House.
AS president of the Georgia Mu-
tual Fire and Storm Insurance Com
nanv would have much preferred
that Mr.. Pickett had not tried TO
drag this company into politics. 1t
is doing a great service for the farm
ers of this section, and it should not
he tampered with by ruthless hands.

IN this bill after it left the House;

pany if deposit was required. | wir-
ed you to come to Atlanta, and you
came the following Monday. We had
several conferences, and after you
looked at a printed copy of the bill
you decided that a few amendments
would save your company. You then
prepared amendments to sections 3,
%, %, 26 and 80. After looking
over these l suggested that Senator
Oliver would be a good man to pre-
sent the amendments in open ses-
sion of the Senate. Senator Oliver
consented to do so, and the amend
ments were turned over to him and
he offered them as the bill was read
by sections on it's passage. No OBJ
jections were urged to these amend
ments, as you had been very active
and had seen a number of Senators,
to whom you explained the effect of
the amendments. l think it was due
to your effective work that the
amendments were adopted by the
Senate. The House concurred in the
amendments, but l do not know
what Influenced the House, as l did
not talk to any of its members.
Trusting that this will give you
the information desired, l beg to re-
main yours very truly,

Valdosta, GA few weeks ago
freight train rolled into this city
with an old hen setting on twelve
eggs on the truck. 1t was said that
the eggs were laid while the car
was on a sidetrack, way up above
Triton Since that time two nests
have ben found in the yards of the
Atlantic Coast Line at this place,
both of them being on track that
has been used dozens of times a day
by switch engines and trains. One
of the hens has Matched out ten bid
dies and is raising them.
The other is setting on nest be-
tween the rails. A train of cars
passes over her probably twenty
times day, but it does not disturb
her except to make her duck her
head to keep it from being hit by the
cow catcher and brake beams. The
car inspector has been watching this
nest for some time. The old hen
has been setting about two weeks.

you and Col. Gurr came to me in
the Senate and told me that you and
he, for the Farmers Cooperative
Fire Insurance Co. of Terrell coun-
ty, wanted amendments to sections
3, %, 25, % and SO. I told you
and Gurr to draw the amendments
and that I would offer them. Col
Gurr returned with the amendments,
and l offered them and they were
agreed to. My connection with the
matter was at the request of Messrs.
Pickett and Gurr, as their Senator
was out of the Senate when the In
surance Bill was up for passage.
I am sorry that your politics is
such that it is necessary for me to
have to write this to put you straight
before your people. I have nothing
to do with your politics, but in JUS
tice to you it is right that | state
the case as ii is.
l will be frank and state to you
that if l had a vote in your county
l would vote for Melton. SO what
have to say as to the fact is not to
help you politically, but to tell the
truth as l know it. T. w. OLIVER.
