If this be true, the real use and
force of the state game law Is ser
iously called Into question. We hear
occasionally of negroes or poor
white men probably seeking a day’s
dinner, being Jerked before the
grand Jury for game law violations.
We rarely hear of prominent hunters
—who are commonly termed “sports
men" or “good sports.”—being de
tected In such acts.

Atlanta, Nov. 16.—The decision
of the newly created state Insurance
commisslon'upholdlng tho solvency
of the Empire life Insurance com
pany of Georgia, In refusing to ap
point a receiver, has given a new
impetus co Southern institutions,
and has met with the hearty appro
bation not only of thousands of pol
icy holders throughout the south
hut of‘business men generally, who
are glad to see this official approval
of a Southern company which has
become a recognized leader In Its
field.
This Is -he second decision which
unqualifiedly recognises the solven
cy of the company and the Integrity
of Its administration. T.iu applica
tion for a receiver, brought by one
small stockholder, was first declin
ed by the superior courts, and was
then carried to the new insurance
commission, composed- of Governor
John M. Slaton, Insurance Commis
sioner William A. Wright and At
torney General Warren CYice, for
review. After going fully Into tho
case the commission announced
that there had been no change in
the condition of the company since
It was upheld by the lower courts
and that a receivership would be
entirely unwarranted.
The growth and development of
the Empire Life company has been
due to the abllllly of President
W. W. Reid. It has been no easy
task to establish a company with
Insurance in force of nearly twenty
million dollars, and assets of two
million, but Mr. Reid has shown
