World’s Entire Supply of

900,000.
Wa«hlngton, Dec. IS.—Tho treasury
department has Just completed Its final
figures on the amount of gold there Is
in the world and the world's product of
cold and silver during the year 1906.
On December 31, 1906. the world's
stock of gold amounted to 16,883,900,000,
of which the United States held Sl,-
893 800,000; Germany 31,030,000,000;
France 3929,400,000;- Russia 3939.400.-
000 and Great Britain 3468,700,000.
From this It will be seen that this
country has vastly more gold stored
away than any other nation, and more
than three times as much as Great
Britain. The United States owns ap
proximately one-fourth of all the gold
In the world. i
During 1906 the production of gold all
over the world amounted to 3400,245,-
300, and the commercial value of the
silver-produced in that year amounted
to 3112,120,500. _____

OFFICER TO BE TRIED
FOR KILLING BARR.
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec, 13.—The pre
liminary hearing of Police Officer Sear,
cy, charged with tho murder of.F- M.
Barr, a well-known and prominent citi
zen. of Marengo county, will take plaoe
tomorrow morning before Justice M. H.
Screws. The warrant charging the
officer with murder was sworn out by
John C. Anderson, one of the associate
members of the supreme court bench,
who comes from the same county as
did Barr.
It was necessary to
w M ... other states/ an»J
this resulted in'tho ancillary petition here.
With thin petition was filed printed copies
of the original bills In hook form of a vol
uminous nature, ami setting forth in detail
the. VomplflintH of* the policyholders who
Hi** dissatisfied.
Th* litigation was brought on by a differ
once of opinion ns to* the old assessment
nolMes Hud the dgstro of the company to
collect In advance the money necessary to
meet death claims, instead of, on-certain
forms of contracts In force, by post-mortem
assessments. It was claimed by the com
pany that this would lessen the expense all
around and that no one would any
thing. It was tho opinion of President
Archibald O. Haynes and other officials
that each, sixty days’ ^pUoctlona should
cover‘the death claims of that sixty days
In Ilea of being n collection for meeting
claims of n preceding period. , ..
On the other bond, a commission of policy-
holders got together and collected money
to make a fight on the company through
the courts. It wps claimed that the Mutual
ltesenre was try lug to amend Its by-laws
nlongUlues which would permit It to make
good any loss by saddling the impairment
on the. policyholders. .
..The petition filed hefe does not require
any action by* .lodge Newman until au order
Is pnss<sl h.v the court of jurisdiction, with
whom the original bill of complaint was
tiled. Then it would be proper to nnk for
receivers for the property or the company
lu Georgia or to have some other action ta
ken similar to that taken by the original
court.
In the petition filed In Alant* receivers
_.-e asked for as in tbdifl
hut the fight is still on in
nothing will b? done here.
Anderson says the officials of the company
believe the fight was instituted against the
company
held the oh
are trying ... ........ — —. -----
strengthening Its reserve fond. He says the
officials of the company are endeavoring to
come up to every requirement of the New
York state laws and fnat efforts are being
made to thwart these endeavors.
T. C. fdirovo Is general manager of the
company In Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida, with headquarters In the Empire
building, and he Is emphatic In his state
ment'that the company la perfectly solvent
and will come out of the litigation all right.
“The fight la being made by. a few dis
gruntled .persons," he aafd, “aided by law
yers. They can neTer hope to sceomplleh
anything by tearing down, for there are
others. The company Is all right, nnd
the fact that people hare confidence In It Is
shown by the fact that since last April 1
have seen red a million dollars worth of now
business.**
