w. r. Halliday With Cotton
States.

With a view of building an
institution that will not only be
the pride of Mississippi, but OF
the whole South, the Cotton
States Life Insurance Company
has filled one of the most i'm
portant positions for its success
by the election of w. R. Halliday
as their actuary. The manage
ment is certainly fortunate in
securing such high class protoc-
ton. Mr.. Halliday is of the
faculty of actuaries in Scotland
and England; associate of the
Actural Society of America and
his reputation for ability as con-
sulting actuary or accountant
stands at the very top-best of
all he will not pass any company
or serve as advisory unless they
are clean-everything the word
means.
Mr.. Halliday was in the home
office of the company Friday and
after going over the affairs of
the Cotton States Life Insurance
Company said: that he found
practically nothing to criticise;
it's officers seemed to be work
ing harmoniously to make the
company a permanent success;
the stable character of its sub
scribers demonstrates its busi-
ness policy. He commended the
economical management of its
stock selling campaign, and did
not hesitate to say that the Cot
ton States Life Insurance Com
pany showed promise of long life.
We understand Mr. HaliIday
is now working on their Policies,
rate books, etc., and their policy
forms will he the fruitage of
many years experience; meet
present day conditions and will
be the most up-to-date life in
surance contracts ever offered by
any insurance company.
With such a helping hand as
Mr.. Halliday will be able to give
this company, we predict a bril-
liant future for the Cotton States
Life.

Itawamba Votes Road Bonds.

In an election held Aug. 3Otn,
the Fifth District and portions
of the Second and Third which
has been formed into a Good
Roads District by a petition ana
order of the Board of Super
visors, voted in favor of issuing
bonds by a majority of &c votes.
Owing to a misunderstanding OF
the workings of the law and a
failure to appreciate fully the
great benefits that would be de-
rived by the construction of the
roads, the majority was cut
down.
In 1911 the Fifth District which
includes the town of Fulton
formed a good roads district, but
did not advertise nor sell bonds.
Subsequently a movement was
set on foot to bring together
portions of the second and third
districts which lie west of the
river and the fifthfdistrict in one
road district. Pursuant to this
the Board of Supervisors issued
an order resembling the former
order, making of the fifth a
separate road district. Parties
in the southeast. corner OF the
district who opposed the issu-
ance of bonds appealed from this
order of the board seeking to re-
strain the board from joining the
second and third and fifth dis
tricts in one road district. This
matter is in the court with w.
d. Anderson of our local bar
representing the new district.
The opposition is represented by
w. H. Clifton, of Aberdeen, and
w. Afford Bean, of kmory.
Since writing the above the
appeal in the good roads case
was heard by Judge John ii.
Mitchell presiding over the Cir
,uit Court at Fulton and resulted
il favor of the new district.
There is some talk of an appeal
being taken to the supreme
urt in the matter, but the
n er.ts of the case hardly justify
such a step.
