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.

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. THE BREAKFAST TABLE.
