Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot roach
the diseased portion of the car. There it
only one way to cure deafness, and that ir
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Kuatachlan Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless tho inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi¬
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cur. d by Hall's Catarrh Cure,

a proper site, and that it could not be
made to meet the requirements of the

PEOPLE HAVE LOST MILLIONS
BV INEFFICIENCY, SAYS DOBBS
Atlanta, August 8.—State
E. P. Dobbs of Cobb county, in
suance of promises made in the
nouncement of his candidacy for
office of comptroller general of
gia, has just given out the first
several statements in which
charges William A. Wright,
in that office, with the
for huge losses of Georgians who
vested their money in income, or
antee fund certificates issued by
tual insurance companies
upon the legal reserve basis.
In the announcement of his
dacy for this office, Senator Dobbs
fers to complaints against tho
ment in numerous letters from
zens of Georgia urging him to
and says:
"The admitted record of unfor¬
tunate results following the ad¬
ministration of this department
for the past ten years will, in rny
opinion, amply illustrate an abso¬
lute public necessity for a new
comptroller general and Insurance
commissioner, and the installation
of energetic and progressive meth¬
ods for these combined depart¬
ments.”
Referring to his own success in
manufacturing business In
and in other enterprises and
the support of friends and the
of Georgia generally, particularly
"whose recent contact with this
partment convinces them that my
nouncement is opportune,” he
cludes:
”1 will, at an early date, furnish
the public with the official records
of results above referred to, and
which will astonish the uninform¬
ed by disclosing the amazing num¬
ber of preventable losses suffered
by the people of Georgia on ac¬
count of lax administration—a rec¬
ord in which Georgia leads the
blacklist of all the states in the
union.”
The People Misled
It is in pursuance of this announce¬
ment promise that Senator Dobbs now
proposes to give specific instances. He
charges Mr. Wright with an effort to
fool the people regarding income
guarantee fund certificates, in that he
makes it appear in his report to the
governor, dated January 1, 1976, that
MUTUAL insurance companies were
authorized to issue these certificates.
Dealing with the insurance act of
on page 8, Mr. Wright states in part
as follows:
“No provision of this statute has
been of more immediate benefit
January the first, 1917, to bear interest
from date at the rate of four and one-half
(lb) pereentum per annum, payable an¬
nually according to coupons attached to
said bonds, both principal and interest
to be payable in gold coin at one of the
Banks in Cleveland, Ga., the principal
of one of said bonds to mature on the first
day of January, 1918, and one on the
first day of January of each and every
year thereafter up to and including Jan¬
uary the first., i947, so that all () f sa i,)
bonds shall mature and tie fully paid off
within thirty years from their date.
All citizens of said county who are
qualified to vote for members of the
General Assembly,and who are duly reg¬
istered, are qualified to vote in this elec¬
tion.
Those desiring to vote in favor of the
issuance of said bonds shall east a ballot
on which is written or printed thereon
“FDR BONDS” and those opposed to the
issuance of said bonds shall cast a bal¬
lot on which is written or printed there¬
on “AGAINST BONDS.”

to the public than tho section
which I drafted dealing with what
is known as ‘Income’ or interest
bearing certificates, issued by mu¬
tual and co-operative or assess¬
ment industrial companies. Tho
Stale of Georgia in 1909 legalized
these certificates.”
Mr. Dobbs states that tho act of
1909 makes no mention of mutual life
Insurance companies, but Confines it¬
self to “any mutual aid, benefit, or in¬
dustrial insurance company incorpo¬
rated under the laws of this state
upon the co-operative or mutual as¬
sessment plan;” and that the section
of the 1912 act, whose authorship is
claimed by Mr. Wright, has no further
effect than to repeal the law of 1909;
that, nowhere in the laws of Georgia
is there or has there ever been any
statute authorizing the issuance of
these certificates by Mutual Legal Re¬
serve insurance institutions.
Millions Were Lost
It is charged that one Georgia com¬
pany has issued more than $1,500,060
of these certificates, some prior to
1909 and many during the latter part
of 1912, with the knowledge and con¬
sent of Mr. Wright; that two other
Georgia companies have Issued more
than $850,000 of these certificates,
making the amazing total of more than
$2,000,000 issued without any author¬
ity of law, PRACTICALLY EVERY
DOLLAR OF WHICH IS A DEAD
LOSS TO THE INVESTOR.
General Wright admits in his report
that "the sale of these certificates
caused a financial loss to many citi¬
zens," and attempts to relieve himself
of responsibility by stating that “the
insurance department had absolutely
no jurisdiction.”
Senator Dobbs points out that char¬
ters granted to these companies make
them subject not only to the laws of
the state, but also to “any rules or
regulations of the insurance commis¬
sioner ...” and that these insti¬
tutions could easily have been pre¬
vented from taking the hard-earned
dollars of citizens in practically every
nook and corner of Georgia, without
the return of any value, had Mr.
Wright, as insurance commissioner,
regulated them by proper rules and
compelled them to comply with the
law’s.
“One of the most unpardonable and
neglectful of the acts that go to make
up Mr. Wright's official record," Sen¬
ator Dobbs states, “was his failure to
require the Empire Life Insurance
Company to make the $100,000 deposit
as the law requires, for the protection
of its policy holders, before issuing to
this company a license wffien it began
doing business during 1912,”
