It Is no small tusk to organize a $100,000 corporation, es pecially when Its success vitally de pends In having the slock taken In small and widely scattered holdings Mr. Harris has given the past six months unreservedly to this work, and his host of friends rejoice with him most heartily In his success. The organisation of the new com pany brought, together hero last Thursday some of Georgia's promin ent Insurance men. Foremost among the number was lion. John D. Wal ker, of Hpartn, who Is president of several Georgia banks, a member of Gov. Smith's staff, and one of the most valued cltlxens of the state, lie presided at both the stockholders' and the directors' meetings. The went hound Seaboard train was three hours late Thursda), which n«<cessltaled a considerable chvhge In the program for the day, which had Included a carriage drive for the vis itors around our growing city. As It was, the guests were met at the train by the Mayor and Council and local Insurance men. and were taken at once to Dr. Liddell's fish-pond, where tboy were the guests of President Har ris at a splendid barbecue, which was greatly e»Jo>cd.

Pre ferred business or none In Its "line." and as its stockholders are the Insur ance agents of the state, there ts no doubt that It will write an abundance of highly desirable business. President Harris Is enthusiastic over the outlook for hit company, and Ita success will prove of Immense value to Cedartown and tho entire state. Millions of dollars every year are sent to the Eastern money centers In pay ment for fire Insurance, which should urn: van be kept right here la Georgia. Tile Georgia Fire has Hoo.OoO lu In t r ‘nt-b*arlng securities depoa.ted with the Comptroller General to back up its |K>llclos. Foreign companies are required to keep only $10,000 on de posit with him. As we have hereto fore stated, the laws of Georgia are very strict as to the organization of old-line stock companies, like the Georgia Fire, as strict with them as they are lax wltn mutual companies.— but this strictmas Is of much advan tage to both the stockholders and the policy-holder.
