SMITH FOR COMPTROLLER.
A Former Valdostan is Being Men

Mr. M. M. Smith, formerly of
Valdosta, is being urged for the of
fice of comptroller In Florida. The
Sanford Herald has the following
editorial on the subjocc this week:
“Telegrams and tetters from all
perts of the state of Florida to Mr.
M. M. Smith and his close friends
have urged him to go before the peo
ple In the primaries tor the office ot
comptroller.
“Thlg is one of the mos*. important

rapidly Increasing and the develop

demand for the best official material
we have for the most Important cab

“We believe tha^ Mr. C. H.
Barnes, In the Tlmeg-Unlon of the

said: ‘the people of Florida would

Stockholders* Meeting Tomorrow.
The stockholders of the Willii
Company will hold their annual
meeting at Valdosta tomorrow for
the purpose of electing officers for
!ie coming year and for attending
to any other business coming beror*
them at this time. About seventy-
five stockholders ar* expected to be
here.
It Is known that m£ W. C. Willis
president of the corporation,
while Mr. Roy Knight is secretary
and treasurer. Mr. Knight was good
enough to let us pee today the finan
cial statement to be presented the
stockholder^ tomorrow, and these
figures are enough to open the eyes
of Valdosta's people. Here's some
thing of the showing:
Th© Willis Company began busi
ness on October 1, 1909, with an
authorlxed capital of $50,000. On
December 31 1911, the date of this
statement, It had a paid-in capital
of $41,330, a surplus Of $55,248.67.
Total assets on that date amounted
to $101,418.61. During the corpo
ration's first year of business—1910
—a dividend of 16 per cent was
paid the stockholders, while a 20
per cent, dividend was paid the sec
ond year, 1911.
We doubt if anybody In Valdosta
had ^iy idea that we had a corpo
ration which could show such won
derful results in so short a time,
and it is now easy to predict *.hat
on tomorrow Jhe official* bringing
about these results will all be re
elected.
