week to mdke preparations for enter
ing hla company In Georgia. When
seen by a representative of The Geor

not considered establishing the head

city of the state than Atlanta. The
Federal Is a well established old line,

took over In addition to Us own busi-
ncis, that of tho Chicago Life; which
was represented In Atlanta by Pierce.
Maddox A Pierce, who subsequently
signed a contract to manage the Re
liance Life In Georgia. The Federal
has taken every step to protect the
former policy holders of the Chicago,
and Us entrance to Georgia is to that
end, as It will make the statutory de
posit.here and have Its own stair for
the writing of business and the collec
tion of premiums together with the
payment of cD.lms.
Another life Insurance company
which will be new to the Georgia Held
Is the United American Life, of Phila

the Georgia Insurance deportment nnd
will begin business about January 1.
This company has a cash capital of
3100,000 and a surplus to policy hold
ers of 3118.080. It writes only on the
legal reserve plan and has very liberal
forms of policy. It Is it young compa

ATLANTA IS OUTGROWING
CIT Y'S FIRE INSURA NCE
FACILITIES, SA YS DICKEY
Atlanta Is outgrowing Its fire insur
ance facilities, according to the opinion
of Jamea L. Dickey, Jr., one of the best-
known of the local agents of the city.
"The rapid Increase In values In Ibe
mercantile district," says Mr. Dickey,
"has outrun the ability of the fire In
surance agent* of the town to give ade
quate protection and It Is probable that
a number of new fire Insurance com
panies will be attracted to thla city
during tho coming year on account of
thla shortage and the demands of local
agents for more facilities."
Inquiry among other local fir* In
surance ofilces showed this fact to no
generally true. White most of the of
fice* can handle ordinarily any. buslno-d
which comes to them, some of the largo
lines In the big mercantile houses are
becoming very difficult to distribute
properly, as none of the companies will
take over certain amounts on any one
risk. As the statistics of the city bank
clearings demonstrate, the moneyed
value of Atlanta Is advancing by leans
and bounds, and the Increased demand
for protection follows It.

AND KEPT SECRET
OP HIS IDENTITY
An Important pointer for purchasers
of accident Insurance to obeerve In
securing their policies, Is to note
whether tho form they are buying fur
niehes the greateet possible protection
against the moet probable loss, or
whether It affords the most spectacular
provisions tor indemnity against con
tingencies which are really remote. The
difference le apparent when stated In
thla way, but some of the contracts ore
not very explicit upon these points and
the Insured would do well to examine
them. Some accident policies, fortu
nutcly not many, are quite obviously
mode up after a search of claim rec
ords for the character of loss or claim
least frequently experienced and mos:
■ emote of possibility. A provision for
such a possibility Is then put Into tho
contract and Is elaborately featured
and Illustrated as an "advance" In ac
cident underwriting. The more simple
an accident policy Is, nnd tho more
common overy-day accidents It pro
vide* against, the better It Is. These
things can oc easily picked out by
those who xead their policies before
buying. The motto, "read your policy"
Is plainly printed on policies by many
companies, but It ought to read, "read
the policy before It la yours.’’ Such a
course In purchasing any kind of In
surance should be a universal practice
In no other line of business. It le safe
to -ray, does the Insurer depend so im
plicitly upon the agent In signing up
for a contract that may mean a great
deni to him, whether fire, life or acci
dent Insurance, and the hint Is a val
uahle one.

Savannah, Ga., Dec. 20.—Sergeant W.

morning In the superior court on the
charge of larceny from the Ocean

track of Sasser's horse, claimed leading
to the scene of the homicide, and the
