Hon. +. =. Dobbs, of Marietta, is
making an active race for the office
of Comptroller General and Insur-
ance Commissioner of Georgia. The
people of Marietta and Cobb County
point with pride to the public record
of Mr.. Dobbs He has served as May
or of Marietta two terms and has
ably represented the 35th Senatorial
District two terms This district is
composed of Cobb, Fulton and Clay
ton counties and in point of popula-
tion is the largest in the State. At
present he is President pro TEN of
the State Senate and there is no man
in the State better posted upon the
conditions of the Government of
Georgia than he He will give the
people of Georgia an honest, bust

of the office he is seeking.

Georgia that If he is elected there

his own record and what he terms

present incumbent
Mr.. Wright has been in office for
forty years. lie is now seventy three
years of age. He has drawn in sal

A DESERVING ENTERPRISE.

A reporter for this paper made an
Inspection yesterday of the Hygiene
Laundry and was very much sur
prised TO find such fine and up-to-
date little laundry plant as is locat-
ed on Polk street in this city Ev-
erything is clean and perfectly sani-
tary and the quality of the work
being turned out by this plant is as
perfect as any we have ever seen,
and we do not believe the people of
Marietta appreciate what conve-
nient and splendid enterprise they
have in our home laundry.
We were very much surprised to
learn from Mr.. Rice, the very cour-
teous and efficient manager, that
only about half the citizens of Mari
eta patronize the home plant. and
If il was not for the outside business
the plant gets, it would have to
shut down or move to some other
wv w MANI iiOhNJ -" - NV
right All things being equal, the
people OF Marietta ought to give
preference to home enterprise,
The reporter learned further from
Mr.. Rice that II he let get by the
least defect in the quality of work,
that some people will discontinue
their patronage, when if the same
thing happens with other plants,
u would be overlooked. The reason,
he says, is a lack OF confidence more
than anything else, that their work
can be done here just as well and Just
as cheaply as elsewhere Indeed
this would seem true, if the people
viii investigate the plant and meth
COS as | have done.
The plant and business is in
charge of an experienced man who
Knows what the laundry business
is and all modern machinery and
there is no reason why the quality Of
the work done here is not just as
good as it can be done by any steam

surance Commissioner of Georgia.
Mr. Wright has, says Mr. Dobbs, fail
ed to regulate and put an end to
disgraceful promotion schemes, spec
ial contracts, income certificates and
objectionable reinsurance deals, all
OF which have resulted in losses ag-
gregating millions to Georgia people.
There never was any law permit
ting the issuance of income certifi-
Gates by mutual legal reserve com
panies, says Mr.. Dobbs, and the In
surance Commissioner could have
prevented their issuance and saved
the people many thousands of dol
lars which they have lost. The of
fetal record, he says shows that at
the time Mr., Wright issued license
to the Empire Life Insurance Com
pany, of Atlanta, Georgia. and per
mitted it to take possession of all
the assets of the Mutual Company,
which was said to be impaired, that
this stock company did not own a
single bond, mortgage or any other
investment and did not have 500, 900
of good bona fide assets. The chaI-
lenge of MIR. Dobbs to Mr.. Wright.
issued early in the campaign, to pub
lish the securities deposited with the
State Treasurer by the stock COM
pany and those on deposit by the
Mutual Company on March 9TH,
1912, remains unanswered. The
truth is, it is said, the stock
company was licensed and turnad
loose on the public without having
made the 100000 deposit in the
form required by law for the pro-
tecuon of its policy holders. The
losses caused to the people of Geor-
gia by this unbusinesslike act were
astounding
Mr.. Dobbs long and successful
business career renders him emmin-
emily qualified to handle these intri-
cate business matters with all safety
to the people of Georgia He is presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
Seventh District Agricultural College
located at Macland and the balance
of SIS. 000 cash and the fact that
this institution does not owe a dol
lar speaks for itself
The duties of the office of Comp
trCller General and Insurance Com
missioner are hard and require that
they be administered by an able
bodied. clear headed, capable man,
and Mr.. Dobbs. having each of these
qualities will protect the interests
of the people of Georgia
Cobb County and Marietta are
proud of the public career of Mr..
Dobbs and commend this distinguish
ed citizen to the people of Georgia

T.. M. jenkins of Italy was Wis
itor in the city Saturday morning.
lie reports that Italy people have
been greatly concerned over the pro-
posed strike but says the excitement
is ahating now that there is a pros
pect for settlement through the
adoption OF the S-hour law. In dis
cussing conditions generally Mr..
Jenkins says the cotton crop about
Italy is about equal to that of last
year. that the farmers expect to
make about a third of a bale to the
acre. However. he thinks the high
prices being paid will make up for
the shortage in the crop.
