INSURANCE FIRM
TANGLEINCOURT
Officers of Cosmopolitan Life
Deny Fraud in Organization
and Loose Management.
Affairs nf the Cosmopolitan Life In
surance Company. Atlanta * newest
company, with 11.300.000 of insurance
in force, are being aired before Supe
rior Judge Hell as a result of receiver
shlp and injunction suits filed by cred
itor* and dissatisfied stockholders The
suits charge the officers of the company
and Joel F Armistead. general agent,
with fraudulent organisation methods
and gross mismanagement calculated
to wreck the , mpant These al'.ega
gations are denied In toto by the com
pany’s management
The ease has been complicated by i
the action of stockholders representing
approximately $125,000 of the com-;
t pany's capital who have petitioned In- I
surance Commissioner W A Wright
asking that the state Intervene under
* the new Insurance statutes and tak n
, over the company's affairs.
The chief allegations in the original
suit brought by l>an Sudderth. a for
mer salesman for the company, and A
Griffin, a stockholder, are directed |
against, the company's methods of or- .
ganieation. It is maintained that Joel
Armietesd, present general agent, who
organized ’ the company, took 4.665 1-2
share* of capital stock for his promo
tion commjssion. giving his personal
note unsecured for $586,825. This
amount of stock is said to be worth
$466,559 at a par value of SIOO a share,
but as the stock was sold two for one,
Armistead's holdings represent $933,100
The company is capitalized at $1,000,-
000, bub the stock sold two for one to
give the organization a capital of sl.-
000.oon and a reserve of the same
amount.
Extravagance Is Denied.
Tn answer made to the court the offi
cers of the company and Armistead
deny that the lattei's purchase of stock
was fictitious and assert that Armistead
already has paid into the company
$307,n00 and has anticipated the pay
ment on his 1913 notes.
, It is charged that the officers of the
company; C. L. Anderson, E. M. Yow,
J S. Hollingshead, Paul Trammell, Ed
M. Hafer. Joseph Hlrsch. Thomas B
Lumpkin and others, have been extrav
agant in the management and reduced
the assets of the company to $50,000.
This the officers deny, and list the
company's quick assets at $500,000.
Armistead. it is maintained, has a
contract with the company to get 90
per cent of the first year's premiums on
insurance and ten per cent thereafter.
It is this phase that the state officers
re expected to investigate. Affidavits
■of Commissioners Wright and Copeland
introduced in court assert that such a
contract would be ruinous to the com
pany's affairs, ultimately wrecking the
concern.
The officers and the management of
the company deny the existence of ex
actly such a contract, but maintain that
Armistead, who personally assumes the
expenses of solicitation of insurance,
gets a percentage varying as to the
kind of policies written.
The attorneys engaged In the case
are Little & Powell, M. t., Goldstin
Fermor Barrett and Cliff Walker, for
the plaintiffs and various Interventors,
and Rosser & Brandon, Anderson, Fel
der. Rountree * Wilson, J. D. Kilpatrick
and Charles T. Hopkins, for the com
pany.

recovery.
Griffith, Ind.
"Gentlemen. Thinking that perhaps a
short history of the remarkable recovery
of my mother-in-law (Mrs Anna Gov
ern might benefit some other sufferersl I
give the following testimonial: About
September 10, 1908, she was taken sick
with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and continual
ly grew worse, requiring a trained nurse.
Night sweats were so bad that it was
necessary to change her clothing once or
twice every night; her eough increased
and got so bad that everybody expected
that she would not live much longer. In
January, when Rev. William Berg, of St.
Michaels Church, at Sherevflle. Ind., pre
pared for her death, he recommended that
I get Eckman's Alterative, and see if it
would not give her some relief. 1 then
requested the attending physician to give
his diagnosis and he Informed me that
she had Consumption and was beyond all
medical aid. When I asked If he thought
that It was useless to try the Alterative,
he replied that No physician could help
her any and I could suit myself about it.’
So I immediately had Rev. Wm. Berg th
send for a bottle Practically without
hope for recovery, I insisted that she try
the Alterative, which she did. I am glad
to say that she soon began to Improve.
Now. she works as hard as ever, weighs
twenty pounds heavier than she ever did
before she tooK sick, and is in good health.
She frankly says she owes her life and
health to Eckman's Alterative."

Xl, 'ii’w<Tl. admiring one of the line White Hock hens at the poul
|ry show at the Auditorium this week.
Coops Are All Decorated With
Ribbons of Winners in the
South's Best Show.
The judging is over at the Great
Central Show of the South. The prizes
have been awarded, after two days of
hard work, to the best lot of poultry
ever gathered under one roof in Dixie.
And for the remainder of the. week th<
enthusiasts who visit the Auditorium-
Armory will see grand birds, a world Os
fancy stock and the finest showing of
strictly exhibition stock ever known in
the South.
The judges put In a hard day yester
day. The birds were so evenly matched
in several alleys that it was only after
the most careful and painstaking work
that it was possible to make any de
cisions at all. The Orpington, Rock
and Red classes were so marvelously
good that any one of a half dozen birds
In every class was good enough to win
first at an average Southern show and
the matter of picking the very best
from among so many specimens which
were so very good was puzzling to the
judges and it took time, thought and
hard work.
With the tags up to show the owner
ship of the birds and the tickets an
nouncing the winners, the show has be
come particularly interesting. Specta
tors can now tell the birds from the
Owen Farm, which did an $35,000 busi
ness last year; of the Aldrich Poultry
Farm, that has spent SIO,OOO in the last
couple of years for White Orpingtons
alone; from Asa G. Candlpr, Jr.'s Briar
cliff Farm, which is the most expen
sively stocked in the South; from Ba
con & Haywood's place at Guyton. Ga.,
the largest poultry farm in the South in
point of number of bit ds bred. They
can also tell the winners and can com
pare and study the points of excellence.
Exhibitors at the show are express
ing themselves as well satisfied with
the sales they have made. The fact
that this is destined to be a grand sea
son for breeders and fanciers is daily
becoming more evident and In the vol
ume of business transacted this show
is likely to top ail records.
