Insurance Mergers Atlanta Of
fees in Charge of E. /. Brad
ley and B. |. BurWeII.

Following the reinsurance Of the
Rome Life Insurance Company by the
Cherokee Life Insurance Company,
which has a surplus of $448,386 and
insurance in force amounting to $751;
375,394, the Atlanta office will continue
in charge of F. /. Bradley, superin-
tendent of this district Mr. Bradley,
who has had charge of the companies
business here for the last five years, is
an old Metropolitan man, having been
connected with that company for about
ten years, leaving 1t to form a connec-
tion with the Rome Life in 1907.
The business in the Atlanta district
is large. This is evidenced by the pay
ment since July Is of 40 death claims.
Mr.. Bradley says the change in his
companies business has been taken ad-
vantage of by some to msrepresent the
situation with those who are not in
formed, for the purpose of getting them
to transfer their policies. He further
says those these who transfer get only
half benefit policies and should not al
low themselves to be misled to their
disadvantage in this manner.
The Cherokee, following the merger
with the Rome Life, is stamping all
the policies Of the latter company with
guarantee of payment by the Chero-
kee Life, and that those who have not
yet had their policies so stamped and
who do not cafe to wait until the agent
of the company gets around to them,
may bring their policies to the Office of
the company, S1O-S14 Empire Life
building.
B. L. Burwell one Of the pioneers of
industrial insurance in the South, who
opened the Atlanta district for the Life
Insurance Company of Virginia eight
years ago and was afterward made su-
pervisor of agents for that company,
will be remembered by his many
friends in Atlanta and the South as
a man who has been one Of the greatest
factors in the upbuilding Of the indus
trial insurance business throughout the
Southern states.
Mr.. Burwell has entire charge Of the
agency force in the industrial depart
ment Of the Cherokee Life. which in
sures the rapid growth of the depart
ment
AS a strong evidence of the entire
confidence in the companies future
since Mr.. Burwell has taken charge of
this department. he has already Sc
cured in addition to the entire force of
the Rome Life, A. e. Fridge, Of Spar
tanburg, S. c.; A. B. Thompson, of
Greer, s. c., and the following insur-
apca mon we'll known n, Atlanta, w NJ

den, w. L. Webb, ]. D. Crenshaw, c. L.

New General Delivery Rule
Causes Many Girls to Drop
Secret Love Affairs.

Flirtations by mail have taken an
awful slump in Atlanta since the in
PRODUCTION of a series of questions
which are asked every person who calls
at the general delivery for mail.
For number of years the postoffice
corridors in Atlanta and in other cities
have been thronged with girls who were
carrying on clandestine correspondence
and who had their letters directed to
general delivery in oruer to evade the
watchful care of their parents. Post
masters all over the country COM
planned of the matter, and among the
first to take up it's correction with the
postmaster general was Postmaster Fl.
L. Mckee Of the Atlanta office, who
finally received authority to compile a
series of questions to ask each apph-
cant for mail.
This plan recently was started and
the series of questions included the age,
occupation, street address, name of
