THE NEW YORK LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY CLAIMED TO
BE ALL RIGHT
By Major Livingston .Mims, Manager South
ern Department - A Telegram from Him
In New York to the Times-Becorder—De
clares the Company Sound.
^ *°
I
The appearance In Snnday’s Tint 9-
Recoboeii and other Georgia papers, of
an Associated Fress dispatch from
Charleston, S. C. caused something of a
sensation regarding the affairs of the
New York Life Insurance Company;
as nearly every business man, has some
sort of policy in that eompany.
The action of tbe Charleston policy
holders was not thoroughly understood,
not sufficient details being given in the
report to indicate the particular line
upon which that action was based.
The vagueness of the report seemed to
Indicate that there was a good deal
under the surface; and to get at the facts
from a trustworthy source, tbe editor of
Tub Times-Recobdeb on Sunday night
sent a telegram to Major Livingston
Mims, tbe widely known manager of
tbe southern department with head
quarters at Atlanta, who is at present
on a visit to New York.
Major Mims is so well and favorably
known ln'Georgia that his statements
will carry more weight than If coming
from any other source; and bis reply to
the telegram of The Times-Recobdeb la
herewith given:
New Yobs,September'Jl, MM.—Mr. Be*
com Myrtck, America*, Oa. Polls ■ hold- r
here ere arfsITected by slanders agnin.t the
company* They ewslt result of examina
tion now being made, end feel conSdent I:
will confirm the hitherto declared strength
end solvency of company. Business coming
Inasusnel.and ell policy holders paying
premiums promptly.
LiviauaTow Mma.
The people of Americus and vicinity
will be pleased to hear that there seems
to be no just ground for any alarm or
even suspicion.
Indeed, it appears from the statements
of Mr. R. T. Byrd, the local agent ol the
company, and from articles in Saturday's
insurance journals, that this whole mat
ter is merely a revamping of a lot of
stale reports that first gained circulation
several years ago, brought about by the
action of the cashier of the company who
had some charges preferred against the
management in connection with the de
falcation of an agent of the company in
South America for about $150,000.
The Insignificance of this amount la
comparison with the company's assets
of $100,000,000 renders it quite difficult
to understand why such a muse le being
railed, and the true explanation appears
to be that the New kork Times to on the
war path against tbe company and to
proceeding to dish It up in the indepond
ent and often reokless manner of the
New York journals.
The Investigation spoken of by Major
Mims Is one being mode by tbe trustees
of tbe company who are among the very
strongest end wealthiest men of tbe
metropolis, and It Is being done to get
to tbe bottom of tbe matter,and re-assure
the public as to the complete rectitude
of the company’s affairs, as well as its
solvency.
In fact, thle company, as well as sev
eral others, have more wealth and an
nual revenue than many nations of the
earth; and only the grossest mismanage
ment and fraud could weaken, much less
Involve It In Insolvency.
MAI-HIED ON SUNDAY.
>i -
*IIow Two Souls Wore Made Happy on the
8abbath Day.
Last Sunday Mr. Goorge Simpson and
Mtsi Maud Bass took a buggy ride, and
it.was the tpost eventful one that ever
occurred in their lives.
Mr. Arthur Howard bad already sc
oured a marriage license for his friend,
and at the proper time it was forthcom
ing. The names wore read out and
Rev.' A. B. Campbell maiio them man
and wife.
It was a surprise to a certain degreo,
but thore were a few people iu the so-
cret and among that few was a newspa
per man. After the ceremony was ovor
Mr. Simpson took his wife to tho homo
he had provided for hor and it is not
saying too much when happiness of all
kinds Is wished for them.
THE COUNTY COURT.
WHAT WAS DONE YESTERDAY IN THE
HALLS OF JUSTICE.
Only Four Cases Acted Upon—What They
Ware and the Names of the Defendants—
The East Quarter of the September
County Court. s
The Flay Frlady Night.
The Private Secretary ia one of tho
finest attractions that Americus theater
goers will be treated to this season.
The play is a most excellent one, the
plot well delined, and every feature of
the performance cannot fail to interest
and please.
TiikTimes-Kkcobdeii takes pleasure
in endorsing this celebrated comedy,
and pronounces it one. of the finest ever
played on the A merfean stage. It is
great and deserves a great audience.
Miss Lilly Halter's Death.
Yesterday tbe stainless soul -of Lilly
Balter passed over to “tl.e land that Is
fairer than day.” Miss baiter was the
next eldest daughter of Mr. Jesse Salter,
of this county, and was just entering
upon that stage of life which is always
the happiest to women. She was begin
ning her teen* when the Angel of Death
laid his cruel touch upon her.
Holding an Inquest.
Coroner Parker was called to Leslie
yesterday afternoon to hold no Inquest
over the body of n negro imnn who wee
killed by Henry Harris, another ootored
mao. The killing occurred Friday a
week ego, and aa the trail was cold,
nothing was done In the matter.
Yesterday morning tho September
quarterly term of tho county court was
convened.
None of tho cases were of any great
Importance, but thoy received a patient
hearing from Judgo Pilabury, and after
a tedious day’s word the matters dis
posed of were os follows:
Forrest Simmons— misdemeanor —
guilty, six months In chalngang or line
of $30.
Bob Holloway—gaming—verdict guilty
eight months in chaingang or flue of
$40:
Arnold Tliweat—larceny from the
house—verdict guilty, nine months in
chaingang or line of $50 and half costs.
George Davis—gaming—six months
or lino of $25.
Gcorgn Clalbone—larceny from the
house—guilty, chaingang eight months
or tine of $40.
Outside of the county court tho day
was a very dull one in court circles, and
although tile bailiff would over and anon
wake up tile eelioes about the court
bouse, calling names, thore was very
little fuss or noise.
This morning tho DeSoto burglars will
have their preliminary trials, and you
will discover that the young fellows will
pay a lino before they get out.
