(From ttie Atlanta Journal). . Frank A. Hooper, o general coun sel for the Empire Lite Insurance Company for which a petition for a receiver was Tiled in the superior court on Wednesday, has issued a statement, denying most positively the charge of insolvency, made in the suit, and replying to other charges Judge W. It. Ellis, of the superior court, has issued a rule nisi, requiring the company to show cause on the 18th of this month why the petition s/iould not tie granted. Mr. Hooper, replying to the suit says: Atnwer to Suit. "Friends of the Empire Life Insur ance Company went surprised this morning to learn that Judge James R. Broun, of Canton, had brought pro ceedings against the Empire Life In surance Company to recover $6,000 invested in that corporation. It seems from the petition that he had the impression that the capital stock of the corporation was SIOO per share when as a matter of (act the par value of each share of the capital stock is only $ JO. The company's contention that It Is really a misunderstanding on his part is tiorne out by the fact that its hundreds of stockholders hold stock oT the par value of S2O per share, and this is the only denomina tion of stock Issued by it. it is to be regretted that any misunderstanding of this Hort has arisen, and it will doubtless lie adjusted as soon ae the parties fully understand one another. "The statement filed by the com pany with the Insurance department show it to be In fine condition and that its net earnings the past two years have been up in the hundred* of thousands of dollars, and Its sol vency is demonstrated by these show ings beyond question. Under an agreement with Augusta stockholders the company Is under contract to re move Its headquarters to Augusta sometime In the near future. An elegant sixteen-story office building is now nearing coni] letelon in Augusta, which speaks for itself as to the appreciation of the citizens of that territory oT the company's worth.
