jentlemen:—
I am just in receipt of New York Exchange, payable to my order as
temporary Administrator, of the estate of Kyle W. Smith, deceased, which
acknowledge as payment in full of policy held by him in your Company,
wish to say in this connection that of the four companies in which the de
based was insured, yours was the first to make payment. You could not
ossibly have acted with greater pomptness, as your settlement was mailed
n the same day the claim papers reached you. This was especially grab
bing to me in view of the tact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out
line 6th, his death having occurcd July 15th.
Please allow me to thank you, and Your local agent, Mr. J. H. Baker,
[>r the co-operation extended me in having the claim papers completed.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. W. SMITH,

RECORD
The Southern
States Life
Has Never
Contested
a Death Claim
REASON •
The usual promptness with which all claims are settled by
The Southern States Life Insurance Company, is due, first to its
willingness and desire to assist the beneficiary, and second, the
fact that it is a home institution, located in the immediate vicinity
of the iusured; is easy of access, has facilities for securing infor-
f
mation promptly; advantages which by the very fact of their lo
cation, are denied to companies whose home offices are in dis
tant cities.
i above tells the story. Prompt payment of death claims proves the Insurance Company’s integrity. The Southern States life, by reason of the fact that its home office is
led in the heart of the South, paid the policy immediately. There are no long and tedious waits in the payment of policies in The Southern States Life Insurance Co. Its
j rd is perfect. "You could not possibly have acted with greater promptness, as your settlement was mailed on the same day the claim papers reached you. This was es-
jdly gratifying to me in view of the fact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out June 6th, his death having occurred July 15th.”

was his reference to the hindrance of

Hoke Smith partisans during the re

proved obstructionists and had done
so much to retard the passage of need

"It Is one of Che hardships of our
Institution,” said Supt. Collum, of the
Agricultural and Mechanical school,
when seen by a Tlmes-Recorder re
porter, “tint every year the demand
on us Is so great far young men with
practical skill as mechanics and ma
chinists and the propositions are so
flattering to them, that they accept
positions before completing the senior
year."
Continuing, the principal said: "Yes
we have demands for young men to
direct ti.vi management of farms and
some have been placed In desirable
positions and are making reputations
for the school, still the mechanical
world has been the quickest to Had
