EMPIRE STUCK
General Counsel For the Em
pire Says That Judge Brown’s
Action Result of Misunder
standing, Which Will Be Ad
justed.
(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.
New Directors Named.

holders of the company a new hoard
of directors was elected as follows;
