a saucer over the recer tacle, within
whose rim II closely fitted. The object
was partly to retain the heat, but
chiefly to prevent the escape of the

Edwards was charged with selling
Fhiskey, and though none of it could

claimed that the whiskey was locked
up in the safe, ccnseG Iently it was
taken to the city ba racks where
it has since been he'd, pending a
final decision Of the coirts.
Edwards, through his attorney,
Judge a. D. Gale, secu ed a restrain

A FINE RECORD
FOR THE SOUTH
WHAT SOUTHERN INSURANCE
COMPANIES HAVE RECENTLY

Atlanta, Sept. Five hundred mil
lion dollars of outstanding life insur-
ance by southern insurance compan-

years of operation. Those stupen-
dous figures show that southern in
surance can succeed, are succeeding
and will continue to succeed, say f.
nancial experts who have watched
with interest the growth in business.
Those figures are given by Lloyd
Cameron, director of agents of the
Cherokee Life of Rome, Ga, in an
article in the Eastern Underwater,
the foremost of life inurance publ
cations. He shows that the first real
development in southern life insW-
ance began a little less than ten years
ago, when a few pioneers in Rome
opened small offices and began to en-
ter the field against the great COM
panies of the east
Now after ten years. writes Mr..
Cameron, the representatives Of "a
number of southern companies met
in Atlanta and formed an association
" "one.al cooperation, which has
come to De as much { fabric of
southern finance as the banks. To-
day there are fifty-three )ld-line Gov
panies in the south with assets Of
siXty-fve million dollars. And the
business is not growing in siuple
proportion, but multiplying VIII ire
