“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
BLack-KgHT
in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.

PEOPLE HAVE LOST MILLIONS
BY INEFFICIENCY, SAYS DOBBS
Atlanta, August B.—State Senator
E. P. Dobbs of Cobb county, in pur
suance of promises made in the an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
office of comptroller general of Geor
gia, lias just given out the first of
several statements in which he
charges William A. Wright, incumbent
in that office, with the responsibility
for huge losses of Georgians who in
vested their money in income, or guar
antee fund certificates issued by mu
tual insurance companies operating
upon the legal reserve basis.
In the announcement of his candi
dacy for this office, Senator Dobbs re
fers to complaints against the depart
ment in numerous letters from citi
zens of Georgia urging him to run,
and says:
“The admitted record of unfor
tunate results following the ad
ministration of this department
for the past ten years will, in my
opiaion, amply illustrate an abso
lute public necessity for anew
comptroller general and insurance
commissioner, and the installation
of energetic and progressive meth
ods for these combined depart
ments.”
Referring to his own success in the
manufacturing business in Marietta,
and in other enterprises anil soliciting
th# support of friends and the citizens
of Georgia generally, particularly those
"whose recent contact with this de
partment convinces theta that my an
nouncement is opportune,” he con
cludes :
“I will, at an early date, furnish
the public with the official records
of restills above referred to, and
which will astonish the uninform
ed by disclosing the amazing num
ber of preventable losses suffered
by the people of Georgia on ac
count of lax administration -a rec
ord in which Georgia leads the
blacklist of all the states In the
union.”
The People Misled
It is in pursuance of this announce
ment promise that Senator Dobbs now
proposes to give specific instances. He
charges Mr. Wright with an effort to
fool the people regarding income or
guarantee fund certificates, in that he
makes it appear in his report to the
governor, dated January 1, 1916, that
MUTUAL insurance companies were
authorized to issue these certificates.
Dealing with the insurance act of 1912,
on page 8, Mr. Wright states in part
as follows:
“No provision of this statute has
been of more immediate benefit

to the public than the section
which I drafted dealing with what
is known as Income' or interest
bearing certificates, issued by mu
tual and co-operative or assess
ment industrial companies. The
State of Georgia in 1909 legalized
these certificates.”
Mr. Dobbs states that the act of
1909 makes no mention of mutual life
insurance companies, but confines it
self to "any mutual aid, benefit or in
dustrial insurance company incorpo
rated under the laws of this state
upon the co-operative or mutual as
sessment plan;” and that the section
of the 1912 act, whose authorship is
claimed by Mr. Wright, has no further
effect than to repeal the law of 1909;
that nowhere in the laws of Georgia
is there or has there ever been any
statute authorizing the issuance of
these certificates by Mutual Legal Re
serve insurance institutions.
Millions Were Lost
it is charged that one Georgia com
pany has issued more than $1,500,000
of these certificates, some prior to
1909 and many during the latter part
of 1912, with the knowledge and con
sent of Mr. Wright; that two other
Georgia companies have Issued more
than $850,000 of these certificates,
making the amazing total of more than
$2,000,000 issued without any author
ity of law, PRACTICALLY EVERY
DOLLAR OF WHICH IS A DEAD
LOSS TO THE INVESTOR.
General Wright admits in his report
that “the sale of these certificates
caused a financial loss to many citi
zens,” and attempts to relieve himself
of responsibility by stating that “the
insurance department had absolutely
no jurisdiction.”
Senator Dobbs| points out that char
ters granted to these companies make
them subject not only to the laws of
the state, hut also to "any rules or
regulations of the insurance commis
sioner ...” and that these insti
tutions could easily have been pre
vented from taking the hard-earned;
dollars of citizens in practically every
nook and corner of Georgia, without
the return of any value, had Mr.
Wright, as insurance commissioner,
regulated them by proper rules and
compelled them to comply with the
laws.
“One of the most unpardonable and
neglectful of the acts that go to make
up Mr. Wright’s official record,” Sen
ator Dobbs states, “was his failure to
require the Empire Life Insurance
Company to make the SIOO,OOO deposit
as the law requires, for the protection
of its policy holders, before Issuing to
this company a license when it began
doing business during 1912.”
