THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 190!7.
JOHN N. M’EAGHERN,
R.H. DOBBS, INDICTED
CARTERSVILLE, Ga.. Dec. 1.-At the
November adjourned term of the Bai
tow superior court the grand jury return
ed indictments against John N. McEach
ern and R. H. Dobbs, charging them witii
cheating and swindling. They are presi
dent and vice president, respectively, of
the Industrial Life and Health Insurance
company, located in Atlanta.
Owing to the prominence of l the parties
indicted, who are reputed to be promi
nent and wealthy citizens of Atlanta, the
indictments have caused considerable
comment here.
The accused appeared before Judge A.
W. Fite and through their attorney
moved for a continuance till the January
term of court. Judge Fite, in granting
the motion for continuance, stated in
open court, that they ought to be prompt
ly tried and vindicated by acquittal, if
not guilty, and that if they were gultly,
as charged, they ought to be punished.
It is alleged that the evidence upon
which the indictments were found war
that the defendants as president and
vice president of this Insurance company,
through agents, were selling insurance
policies to negroes based upon weekly
payments, as follows: For 5 cents per
week premiums upon said policies, the
company would pay a weekly sick ben
efit of ’sl for, every nickel paid weekly,
with a cash surrender value at the end
of ten years of *lO for every nickel paid
weekly, provided the sick benefits paid
did not amount to more- than the cash
value, or the difference if any existed be
tween the cash surrender value of the
policy and the actual sick benefits re
ceived.
It is alleged that a great many of the
company’s policies are held by negroes
in this city, who are entitled to cash
surrender values.
It is alleged that agents of the com
pany told the negroes who demanded the
cash value of the policies held by them,
a great many of whom had received no
sick benefits at all, that the policies were
invalid and were of no value, and pay
ments were refused. In some cases small
compromises were offered and rather than
lose it all, the ignorant negroes took what
was offered them and surrendered their
policies, it is said.
Since the indictments were found some
of the claimants have placed their claims
*n the hands of Hon. W. C. Henson, a
prominent lawyer here, who has effected
full settlements for his clients.
Counsel! McElreath
Makes Statement
Mr. McEachern, who is a member of the
general council of Atlanta, was informed
of the Bartow grand jury action by The
' Journal. He and Mr. Dobbs immediately
; began the preparation of a statement for
| publication which they will furnish the
press later.
The Industrial Life and Health In
surance company of Atlanta, has its ofi
ces in the Austell building.
Mr Walter McElreath. counsel for the
company, made the following statement
to The Journal:
I ‘T do not care, at the present time, to
' enter into all the details and circum
stances connected with the means by
! which the indictments in these cases were
' procured. The trouble at Cartersville is
| traceable to the fact that, some time
i ago, the company found it necessary to
I discharge an agent who had represented
! the company at that place for several
years. Tfie particular trouble in this case
arose out of a settlement of a little *25
claim, with the settlement of which Mr.
McEachern had nothing to do and never
heard of it until long after it was done.
The company was not advised of any dis
satisfaction about the matter until tht
indictments were found, as no demand, or
notice of any sort, was made on the com
pany or its officers. Indictments are
found on ex parte evidence. A complete
and thorough investigation of the cases
I demonstrates that there is nothing in
the indictments, which will fully ap
| pear upon the trial of the cases.”

1309 GREATEST OF I
ALL FORMS'
Secretary Wilson, in His Report,
Declares Year Past Has Been I
the Most Prosperous of All
Years.
' WASHINGTON. Dec. I.—Secretary Wil- I
son, of the department of agriculture, in I
bls annual report just issued, says the 11
farmer prospered more in 1909 than in I
any previous year. j
“Mort prosperous of all years is the I
place to which 1909 is entitled in agri
culture," is the way the secretary puts I
it. The value of farm products was *S.- 1
760,000,000, a gain of *869,000,000 over the
preceding year.
Os great popular Interest are the re
sults of a unique investigation conducted
by the department, which shows that in
50 cities the total retail cost charged to
consumers for beef above the wholesale I
cost paid by the retailers averaged 38
per cent. The lower the grade of beef,
the greater the percentage of gross
profit.
PROSPERED ON HOGS.
Tn the upward movement of beef
prices, the farmer, the report says, has
not shared equally with the packer, re
tailer and wholesaler, but as to hogs,
the case is different, the farmer receiv
ing his fair share qf the higher prices
of pork in the increased price of his
unfed hogs.
Secretary Wilson notes a great for
ward movement in enforcing the food and
drug acts, the willingness of manufactur
ers to comply with the laws and to co
operate with the department, making the
work largely educational.
Secretary Wilson says in part:
"Eleven years of agriculture, beginning
with a production of *4,417.000 and ending
with *7,760,000! A sum of *70.000.000.000 for
the period! It has paid off mortgages, it
has established banks, it has made bet
ter homes, it has helped to make the
farmer a citizen of th* world, and it
has provided him with means for improv
ing his soil and making it more produc
tive.
GREAT CORN CROP.
'The most striking fact in the world's
agriculture is the value of the corn crop
for 1909. which is about *1,720,000.000. It
nearly equals the value of the clothing ,
and personal adornments of 76.000.000 peo
ple. according to the census of 1900. The
gold and silver coin and builllon of the
United States are not of greater value.
It has grown up from the soil and out
of the air in 120 days-,15,000,000 a day for
one crop, nearly enough for two dread
naught a dally for peace or war. This
crop exceeded in value the average of the
crops of the five preceding years by 36
per cent.
"Cotton Is now the second crop in
value, and this year’s cotton crop is
easily the most valuable one to the far- i
mer that has been produced. With cot
ton line selling at 13.7 cents on the farm
November 7 and with cotton seed selling
for about *25 per ton, the lint and seed
of this crop are worth about *850,000,000
to the farmer. No cotton crop since 1873
has been sold by farmers for as high a
price per pound as this one.
VALDOSTA FARMERS IN
A PROSPEROUS CONDITION
VALDOSTA, Ga.. Dec. 1.-As Christmas
approaches, evidences are multiplying to
show this to be th* most prosperous
season that has come to this section of
Georgia in a number fit years.
The rich harvest gathered in by the
farmers has contributed more to these
conditions than any other one thing.
There has been a great corn crop gath
ered throughout the territory surround
ing Valdosta, and while the cotton crop
probably has not been above an aver
age yield, the good prices which have
prevailed have more than offset any
shortage in the crop.
The splendid success of the farmers
this year has caused this greatest of ail
Industries to come into Its own. As a
result there will be hundreds of new
farms opened up and farm homes built.
Real estate men here say that farm lands
are in greater demand than they have
ever been before. Most of those seeking
farm lands want small places, very few
of them wanting more than a one-horse
or two-horse farm. ,

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF |
GUN INJURES PHYSICIAN;
SANDERSVILLE. Ga.. Dec. I.—Dr. G.
W. Malone, with his wife, was driving
down Smith street about noon yester
day when he saW two boys coming across
the school campus with a gun held very
carelessly. He called to them to be care
ful not to point the gun in their direc
tion. but hardly had the words beer,
spoken when the gun was discharged,
and the load of shot struck him full in
the face.
Fortunately, the gun was a .22 parlor
rifle, and was loaded with shot, but 31 i
shot penetrated the skin, and had to be [
removed at Dr. Rawling's sanitarium.
The boys in the case were Earle Hodg

13 years. The firing of the gun is sup
posed to have been purely accidental,
caused by careless handling.
While Dr. Malone’s injury is very pain

congratulated by his friends on his nar
