4 INSURANCE FIRM TANGLE IN COURT Officers of Cosmopolitan Life Deny Fraud in Organization and Loose Management. Affairs of the Cosmopolitan Life In surance Companj Atlanta s newest company, with $1,300,000 of insurance in force, are being aired before Supe rior Judge Bell as a result of receiver ship and injunction suits filed by < • ed itors and dissatisfied stockholders. Ibe suits charge the ofll< ■ rs of the company and Joel F Armistead. general agent, with fraudulent organization methods and gross mismanagement calculated to wreck the company These allega gations are denied In toto by the com pany’s management. The ease has been complicated by the action of stockholders representing approximately $123,000 of the com pany’s capita) who have petitioned In- I surance Commissioner W. A. Wright | asking that the state intervene under the new insurance statutes and take I over the company's affairs. The chief allegations In the original I suit brought by Dnn Sudderth. a for- | mer salesman for the company, and A I Griffin, a stockholder, are directed against the company’s methods of or ganization. It Is maintained that Joel Armistead. present general agent, who organized the company, took 4.665 1-2 shares of capital stock for his promo tion commission, giving his persona! note unsecured for $586,825. This amount of stock Is said to be worth $466,550 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, but the stock sold two for one to give the organization a capital of $l - and a reserve of the same amount. Extravagance Is Denied. In answer made to the court the offi cers of the company and Armistead deny that the latter’s purchase of stock was fictitious and assert that Armistead already has paid into the company $307,000 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 Hirsch, 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 me expected to investigate. Affidavits of ■<’bmmissioners 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. L. Goldstln. Fermor Barrett and Cliff Walker, for the plaintiffs and various Interventors, and Rosser & Brandon, Anderson.

"Gentlemen: Thinking that perhaps a short history of the remarkable recovery of my mother-in-law (Mrs, Anna Gov ern might benefit some other sufferers, 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 w-ere so bad that it was necessary to change her clothing once or twice every night: her cough 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 Sherevllle. Ind., pre pared for her death, he recommended that I get Eckman’s Alterative, and see If It would not give her some relief. I then requested the attending physician to give his diagnosis and he Informed me that she had Consumption and was beyond all medical aid. When 1 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 to send for a bottle Practically without 1 hope for recovery. 1 insisted that she try the Alterative, which she did. I am glad to sat- 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."

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 poultrj ever gathered under one roof in Dixie And for the remainder of tha week the enthusiasts who visit the Auditorium- Armory will see grand birds, a world of fancy stock and the finest showing of strictly exhibition stock ever known in the South. The judges put tn 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 enougl) 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 $85,000 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. Candler, 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 birds 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 all records.
