Georgia Casualty Companv

very satisfactory report has been
 made by the Georgia insurance depart- lnent Tn connection with an examination or the Georgia Casualty company of Ma con The examiners went thoroughly into the affairs of the company from Novem- Der 30. 1912, the date of the last examina- ton, down to March 31 of the present year. They found that on the latter date the company possessed gross assets of l s94, ,03f, and after deducting not admit ted items of $27.oss, the net assets are shown at s913,951. The liabilities include loss reserves of $95,931. unearned prem iums $l74.027, and other items, $5OO25. making total of $31s,sSs This results in surplus on policyholders' account of $5ss,sss including the capital stock of s300. $40.
 The assets of the company are well in vested and the home office building, which is appraised at $375. 900, earns per cent. Tn computing its liability loss re- serve. the company has used the actual experience factor, which gives higher re- serves than the statutory requirement. This indicates a high degree of conserva- tive management.
 In commenting upon the progress of the company the examiners say: Tt has a highly productive agency corps, a well equipped and well regulated home office plant. with every ~acility for the proper conduct of this class of business. In ev- cry department high degree of intelli-
 gence and proficiency obtains. The com l pany's business Is conducted along con- | servative lines, as Is indicated by its
 experience, which would seem to com
 pare favorably with the experience of
 some of the older companies. The under
 writing methods employed by this com
 pany are safe, conservative and practi- cal"
 With such a strong Endorsement and a
 satisfactory fnanciel condition shown. policyholders of tie Georgia Casualty
 can have every confidence in the security
 back of their contracts. The officers of
 the company are-W. E. Small president,
 and E. P. Amerine. secretary. The latter i, is the underwriting official. and the good
 work he has accomplished is reflected in
 the report of the examination above re- 1 ferred to.

 purchased fine paintings. I was talking
 with MT Young yesterday. He declared that everywhere art was becoming more appreciated. And there is another peculiar feature connected with the sale of fine work. When money Is scarce. or when hard times come, the sales do not fall off in volume. The people who want paint ings realize that in days of diversity diversity for the other fellow-they cah obtain their favorites for less money. The firms who have the paintings to sell, must sell"
 Mir Donnellys fayorite of his gallery is a work of Couse. Two New Mexican Indians are represented standing by a waterfall in the Rocky mountains. It is evening. The waning sun has added new lustre to that scenery which is described as the most beautiful of the world. The Indians are awaiting the sounding of the voice of the Manitou whom they believe exists In nature-in streams of water, in the mountain range, or woodland, deep and cool. The painting is the result of the conception of a most poetic idea. MT. Donnelly, and all his friends, consider 1t charming.
 Other paintings of Indians in the Don nelly gallery are by Farney, the Cincin- natl artist. His work is most natural. His description is most accurate. Be cause Farney, as is known, vas adopted by an Indian. He thus acquired tie poetic temperament of the red madi That tenn perament he has breatf5d on his canvas.

' HILE the people of Birmingham

WI HILE the people of Birmingham
 Af have always known that J. W.
 W Donnelly has many excellent at tributes the great majority has never suspected that his chief virtue, in an ar tstic sense, Is the love for fine paintings. And yet 1t Is true that his art gallery has been declared to be the most valua- ble in the south--that is, the most val , table private gallery.
 MT Donnelly is a man given little to talk. He never talks about himeslf. And therefore, it was purely by accident that newspaper men learned-not his secret but the fact that he is an art connoiseur, and that he has invested to the extent of a modest fortune in paintings.
 One afternoon when Howard Young had his wares" on exhibition at the Hotel Hillman, attention of spectators was att tracted to a small painting of the face of a girl There was something alluring in the expression of the facel The eyes were brilliant The smile-it was there, but not tangible The mouth was as a cherry. The complexion was the complexion of the young girl who has spent her life in the open, who has felt the kiss of the breeze on her cheek. The hair was titian
 When Mir Young noted that his visitors were gazing with rapture on the face of the girl he declared that Henner the French artist. had done himself proudly.
 That is the Henner girl-the typical Henner girl he added "The painting, however is sold'
 And thus 1t came to light that the pur- chaser was MT. Donnelly, and that he had paid for the work the sum of $75o. Surprise was expressed. Because at that time, no one dreamed that Mr. Donnelly was possessor of an art gallery.
 Why, yes," added MT. Young, and his gallery is the finest privately owned gallery in the south" \ Mr. Donnelly loves fine paintings. He has gathered together a number of them. 1 He Is fond of talking of his paintings, and of the men who created them. When. however, one asks In regard to the price which he paid for this or that york of art. he shakes his head.
 Don't ask about the money invested " he exclaims. ''I never judge the value of painting by the price mark. There is no question but that I have paid for paintings more money than the 1verage man would think them worth. It is matter of opinion. I am entirely satisfied. l have none of the paintings of the old masters But some work that l have is as fine.
