ReCeivership Empire
Life Insurance Co.

Atlanta, Ga, July 20-The hear
ing of the receivership proceedings
brought by a disgruntled stock
holder against the Empire Life
Insurance company has been de-
ferred until next Monday, the
company having come into court
Saturday ready to establish proof
of its complete solvencY, while
the attorneys for the complainant
asked for additional time to pre-
pare its case.
Officials confident that at the
final hearing the case will be thrown
out of court as the stockholders
has set up claim to "rights' which
ne does not hold under the law.
The fact that the company itself
filed and afterward withdrew a
petition for a voluntary receiver
ship some time ago is SATISFACTORY
ly explained by President w. w.
Reid, who shows that an inaccurate
report on the company's liabilities
had been prepared by an examiner
which showed liabilities which the
company could not lawfully pay.
This was quickly adjusted when
the error was pointed out, and the
proceedings, which had been pure.
lY precautionary move, where
withdrawn.
Even IN the most unfavorable
preliminary report it was not init
mated that the company was in
solvent. On the other hand it was
shown that it was able to meet
every obligation.
Policy holders all over the South
will be glad to learn that a full
statement as to conditions will
thoroughly assure the strength of
the Empire life. As for the stock
holders, President Reid has hum
dleds of letters and kilograms as
suiing him of confidence and pledg-
ing full support.

M'LENDON DECIDES
NOT TO MAKE RACE
Writes to A. I'll. Ulm, With
drawing His Candidacy

Atlanta, July lin letter
to A. H. Ulm, secretary of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee. Hon. S. Guyton McLen-
don, who recently stated he was
in the race for governor, an
nounces that he will not seek
this office.
Mr.. McLendon's entry into the
race was given all sorts of alb
surd political significance. 1t
was said that the Smith people
had put him in the race. This
was denied and the counter claim
was made that the Brown people
were responsible.
Mr.. McLendon, however, has
put at rest the whole matter by
writing the following letter:
A. H. Ulm, Secretary, Demo-
cratic Executive Committee.
yielding to the request of a
gentlemen who claimed to speak
for himself and others, one l had
known for several years under
professions of friendship and who
came under the tongue of good
report, | consented that he and
others might enter my name as a
candidate for governor. I now
withdraw that consent. Yours
truly. S. e. McLendon."

Speer Is highly Praised
For Efficiency In Office

w. J. Speer, state treasurer
and candidate for reelection, has
been highly commended by the
special committee from the house
and senate appointed to make an
examina ton of his books, and to
count the cash in the treasury.
An examination of the books Of
the state treasurer is required to
be made each year, but this is
the first time it has been done in
some years. The report of the
committee follows:
''We, the committee required
by law to examine the accounts
and vouchers of the state treas
urer's Office as to all moneys re-
ceived into and paid out of the
treasury during the fiscal year,
beg leave to make the following
report.
1--WE have thoroughly examin-
ed the Office Of the state treasur-
err and find the books and all
vouchers neatly and accurately
and correctly kept. We have
counted the money on hand and
have verified the accounts of all
state repositories, and find that
they are also correct. We have
carefully examined the report of
the state treasurer and find that
he is sustained by the true condi-
ton of his office.
In this connection we desire to
commend the incumbent in office,
the Hon. w. ]. Speer, for the
efficient manner in which he has
conducted the affairs pertaining
TO the treasury.

THE COUNTY

Hon. W. T. Paulk informs us
that the bill introduced in the
House by our representative
places the duties of the Com
missioner of Roads and Revenues
back into the hands of the coun-
ty commissioners, abolishing the
office of Commissioner of Roads
and Bridges and leaves the ratifi-
cation of the new law to the
voters of Ben Hill county at the
next regular election. The bill
will no doubt meet with the ap.
proval of the voters of the coun-
ty.

Protection for Home
Insurance Companies

Atlanta, Ca, July 20.-Before
the present session of the legis-
lature is ended a law certainly
will be passed which will protect
home insurance companies from
the attacks OF. uncrupulous and
irresponsible persons, who by
purchasing a share of stock may
lnjure the standing of the COM
panieS by petitions for receiver
ship upon the most fiimsy pre-
texts. The members are practi-
cally unanimous in agreeing that
such protection is necessary.
Senator Harrell has offered a
bill in the senate which probably
will be combineI with the bill of
Representative Evans of Screven
county in the house, looking to
this end. Senator Harrell's bill
provides that the petitions for
receiverships shall be brought
unless the petitioners shall first
submit the question of the com.
pany's solvency to the state in.
surance department, acting with
the governor and the ATTORNEY
general, and unless a good and
sufficient bond shall also accom-
pany the petition in case of DOS,
slble damages against the com
pany arising from the suit. Mr..
Evans bill did not include the
consultation with the state Of
ticials, but provided for a bond
OF not less than $4,000.
So many companies have heen
harrassed and their public reputa.
ton injured by receivership suits.
even though the suits failed. thai
business men realize that such q
protection is necessary if South
ern companies are to have a
chance to compete with the great
corporations of the East,

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

AS reported by the First National
Bank of Sank Centre. While the
year-end discloses an uncertain bust
ness outlook, the new year opens with
a decided improvement in sentiment
contrasted with the mental attitude at
the beginning of December. 1t is OF
course, an inherent human quality of
the normal individual that optimism
comes to the front at the portals OF
every new twelfth month but senti-
ment of this sort is powerful factor.
To be substantial, however, it must
reflect an improvement IN fundamen-
tai conditions.
In the domestic field the better feel
ing seems to come largely from the
passing of the new banking and cur
rency law which was finally shaped IN
to an acceptable measure to the bank
ing community. In addition the settle

NELSON WORKING MEMBER
Senator Spends Holiday Season in
National Capitol Caring for
Constituents Interests

The following dispatch from Wash
ington to the Minneapolis Tribune
dated January 1, says of Senator
Nelson:
"In this holiday season there are
not a half dozen members of the
United States senate in the city to
attend to the wants of the people of
the different states. Senator Nelson is
one. He will remain here until con-
gress resumes its session and he will
be busy because the Minnesota sena-
tor is always busy. Just now he is
engaged in answering letters from
Minnesota people and others in all
parts of the country who want to
know about the workings of the new
tariff and currency laws.
Seventy years young Senator
Nelson is the wonder Of the senate for
his aggressive spirit and his constant
attention to business. Although one
of the oldest members of the senate,
and for more than quarter of CEN
tury the Minnesota senator has had
part in the legislation of the congress
of the United States, he does not
weary with the work, and few if any
senators much younger in years at
tend so closely TO the business OF the
senate.
Throughout the many sessions that.
congress was in continuous session be-
fore the brief respite which the holt
day recess gave, Mr.. Nelson was in
constant attendance on committee
work, and in the deliberations OF the
senate itself. No member OF either
party was forced to do so much work
as was the Minnesota senator. Some OF
the senators were required to give
time to preparation of the tariff bill,
but they found time for rest when the
currency question was brought for
ward.
"Not so with Senator Nelson. All
the time the tariff was under consider
alton he was obliged to give some at
tention to that subject, but much more
to the work of the lobby investigating
committee, of which he is an indefatl-
gable member.
"He attended the hearings on the
lobby investigation, which were great
ly prctracted, and the weary months
of the hot summer were spent by him
and his associates in the investigation
of the lobby mater. That work is not
completed and report is yet to be
made on it.
"Then the task fell to the lot of SEN
ator Nelson to be at the head of his
party on the committee which had to
do with the investigation of the cur
rency question and the preparation Of
bill on that subject. Many weeks at
constant attendance at hearings be-

versy between the government and the
American Telephone and Telegraph

an agreement on the trust question
which will do away with the unsettling
litigation that has been disturbing
business factor these several years.
Returning to the domestic condi-
tons: there is still to be effected the
adjustment of industry to the new
tariff basis. The process of discount
ing; the change preceded the pass
ing of the law and there is
a feeling that the corner has
been turned but it is quite
generally admitted that a period of
moderate activity rather than a trade
boom is Immediately ahead. One
thing is certain and that is there is
no glut Of goods on the shelves. The
tremendous domestic consumption
must be taken care of and the close
adjustment between supply and de-
mand necessitates fairly large oper-
ating capacity. OF course, where
there has been over-expansion there
will be some reduction in output.
