TO INCREASE ITS SURPLUS Company Recently Reorganized on a Stock Basis—Will Devote Itself In Future Entirely to Old Line Life Insurance Business. (SPECIAL TO THE ARGUS.) ' : Atlanta, Ga., June 19. —It is announced that as a result of a transfer of its industrial business, the Cherokee Life Insurance Com pany, of Rome, will increase its surplus to approximately $300,000. This is the most important an nouncement that has been made in connection with the affairs of the company since Barry Wright assumed its presidency, and is one that will be of interest in insurance circles all over the South. The company will devote itself in the future entirely to old line life insurance. This policy took form when the Cherokee entered into a contract to transfer its in dustrial insurance to the American National Life, of Galveston,Texas. The actual transfer is now under way, the latter company taking over with the business the indus trial agency force of the firm. The Cherokee Life was recently reorganized on a stock basis, with a capital stock fully paid up of SIOO,OOO. Lloyd Demeron will continue as underwriting manager and director of agencies. It is pointed out as evidence of the promise of a successful future that several Southern companies, ad hering exclusively to old line in surance, have attained substantial eminence in the last few yeafs. There is a heavy daily production of old line insurance now from agencies throughout the States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Ten nessee and Texas. JACKSON LODGE. NO. 131. K.

LEGISLATORS HAVE RIG PROGRAM BEFORE THEM Improvement of State’s Financial and •A Penal Systems, Compulsory Edu cation Bill and OUier fleas urea To Be Considered. 4 (SPECIAL TO THE ARGUS.) Atlanta, Ga., June 19. —lf the Legislature which meets next week gives serious consideration to all the measures involving pro gress and improvement in the State’s affairs, it will have little time this year to divert itself and the public with freak measures. There is every indication that the Georgia assembly this summer will have its hands full of vital work, and there seems to be a general disposition among the legislators to prepare for buckling down to bard work from the very opening day of the session. They know they have a big program before them. First of all in importance will come the proposed revision of the State’s financial system, coupled with a movement for tax equaliza tion. Governor Brown in his out going message, and Governor Sla ton in his inaugural address, will both stress the necessity of work ing on these lines. The Legislature will be asked to appoint a special commission to take up the whole proposition of improving and bringing up to date Georgia’s penal system and crim inal court procedure. This is a measure that has been endorsed by Judge Patterson, of the State Prieon Commission, and by leading judges throughout the State. The compulsory education bill will be pressed before the assembly more vigorously than ever before. One of the chief arguments will be the fact that Georgia is one of only six States left in the Union which have not already some kind of com pulsory education measure. A host of other bills of general and serious importance have been prepared for introduction. One, for instance, will require all rail r als to provide underpasses or overpasses under direction of the Railroad Commission, but will be so framed as to try to. make it fair t > the railroads as well as to the public. Another will be to put the legislators 011 a straight salary basis instead of per diem, and to have biennial sessions. In fact, the Georgia assembly is going to have to put on its think ing cap this jsutnmer. A CARD FROM MR. MADDOX RELATIVE TO THE BOYS’ CORN CLUB OF BUTTS COUNTY. Jackson, Ga,, June 17, 1913.

CHILLY AND SILLY SEASON SEEM TO BE SYNONYMOUS Sober Han Sees Snake With Tail In Its Mouth—Many People Taking Bichloride—Man Contends Ha Hat Right to Whip Wife. (SPECIAL to THE ARGUS.) Atlanta, Ga., Tune 19.— The chilly season and the silly season seem to be synonymous this year. Atlanta, with her dictagraph wrangle, in which more and more people are being involved one way or another, must appear to other Southern cities a likely municipal candidate for the insane asylum, if there is one big enough any where to hold the whole population. Distressing symptoms, however, seem to be afflicting the whole country. A sober and highly re garded farmer at Marietta sees a snake with its tail in its mouth rolling like a hoop along the pub lic highway. x People in various cities are tak ing bichloride of mercury because they read in the papers that an other man had said it was a pain less death. A Georgia man has set up seri- A ously in the courts of law that lie has a perfect right to beat his wife when he wants to. Gardeners throughout the whole blooming South (blooming is an agricultural and not a slang ex pression) are spending $4 on tools and S2O worth of labor to raise 30 cents worth of lettuce in the back yard.
