ANOTHER CARD
FROM DR. MAYS
Mr. Editor:—lt has come to my
attention through the informa
tion of friends, that certain par
ties are circulating misleading re
ports to the effect that I have
made the assertion that if elect
ed I would use my efforts in hav
ing a bill enacted in the Legisla
ture increasing the county com
missioners from one to three
members.
I have made no such assertion,
neither has any one requested
me to do such, or make any
change in our county affairs. I
set forth before and in my an
aoucement things I favored and
apposed. Should Ibe elected, to
the best of my ability I will guard
my county and state’s interests
for the benefit of the whole peo
ple, and not for any class or in
dividual. Such report is utterly
false and without any foundation,
and has been done simply to mis
lead the voters and work detri
mental to my interests in the
coming election.
Respectfully,
adv. 7-17-lt. R. W. Mays.

EMPIRE LIFE
OF GEORGIA
State’s Audit Shows Re
sources Are Substantial.
CompanysNew Building
Its Record of Leadership
The insurance department of
the state of Georgia completed
recently an examination of the
Empire Life Insurance Company
of Georgia. The report covers
the period from the date of the
previous examination, December
31, 1912, to December 31, 1913.
Later the insurance depart
ment completed an exnaustive
supplementary report carrying
back to March 5, 1912, the date
of the organization of the Em
pire Life, the official scrutiny of
the company’s condition and op
erations.
Certified by the State.
Audited by the insurance de
partment, main items in the Em
pire Life Insurance Company’s
balance sheet on December 31,
1913, were as follows:
Net admitted assets $1,725,896.54
Net reserves 1,314,890.12
Netsurplus to policy
holders 314,144.45
The total income of the com
pany in 1913 was $731,452.94, of
which $623,732.33 was from pre
miums, and $64,030.79 from in
vestments.
Extended to cover the entire
period of the company’s business,
income from all sources is shown
by the Georgia insurance depart
ment to have been $3,021,442.92,
and disbursements $1,272,352.65
leaving a balance of $1,749,090,27
of net ledger assets, of which
$1,725,896.54 represents the ad
mitted assets, on December 31
last.
The insurance account of the
company from March 5, 1912, to
December 31, 1913, shows an in
come, practically from premiums
of $1,174,177.30 and disburse
ments of $869,682.26—an income
in excess of disbursements of
$304,405.02.
A Working Chief Executive.
In the reorganization of the
Empire Life from a mutual to a
stock basis, the important nego
tiations for the substitution of
capital stock for the outstanding
certificates of the mutual com
pany were conducted personally
by the president of the company,
Mr. VV. W. Reid, with satisfac-
tion to all concerned.
The new company is now well
launched. At the end of 1913, it
had 9,285 policies in force, insur
ing $18,164,148, The premium
receipts in 1913 were $623,732,
against $548,763 in 1912, showing
substantial progress.
The insurance department
speaks well of the company’s
dealings with it’s policyholders.
Official salaries are moderate.
Commissions paid for the sale of
stock have not exceeded the lim
it of 10 per cent allowed under
the Georgia statutes.
The Empire Life is building a,
seventeen-story skyscraper in
Augusta, Ga., in which its home
office is to be located. It is to be
one of the finest buildings in the
south. Construction is of steel,
terracotta, and white pressed
brick.
A “Leader in the Life Field.’’
The management of the com
pany is vigorous and progressive,
and is making history rapidly.

SLATON NOT LINEO UP WITH !
ANY ONE POLITICAL FACTION
L.
Atlanta, Ga., July 16. —Gov-
ernor John M. Slaton’s attitude
of attending to business, conduct
ing his own campaign quietly and
refusing to be drawn into fac
tional disputes is winning him a
a great deal of favorable com
ment among the public and the
the press.
Governor Slaton is not in any
“line up.” There are thousands
of enthusiastic Hoke Smith sup
porters all over the state who
have told him they expect to vote
for him, and it is equally assured
that he will have a very large
proportion of the voters who sup
port Mr. Brown in the race for
the other place.
“The men who know Jack Sla
ton —and that means almost
everybody —are going to vote tor
him and lend him their support
purely on his own record,” said
one prominent Georgian in the
Kimball today. "It is not a fac
tional fight. There isn’t any
reason for a line up of any kind.
It’s just a question of whether
Slaton is the best man for that
seat—and a lot of Georgia folks
think he is.”
justly proud of the payments
made to policyholders during
1913. The amount thus paid ex
ceeds the figures of many older
companies, some of which were
organized prior to 1870.
The Empire Life maintains an
efficient agency organization.
The company is licensed to do
business in Georgia, Alabama
and Florida, It is at the head of
a list of twelve other companies
organized in the same year, that
is, 1908.
The company is also promi
nently mentioned among the
foremost “Leaders in the Life
Field,” as published for 1913.
Another highly commendable
feature of President Reid’s man
agement is that the Empire Life
is the only company that has
kept absolute faith with the hold
ers of income certificates and has
protected every one of them by
exchanging certificates for stock
upon reorganization. It will be
recalled that the Georgia supreme
court declared that income cer
tificates were not to be held as
a liability, hence the Empire
Life’s square deal is the more
notable because it was wholly
voluntarily.--The Insurance Press
