A PROTEST

FERTILIZERS AND FARM SUPPLIES A SPECIALTY
Cordcle, Ua., July 14, 1»I4.
Mr Wm. W Reid.
Pres . The Empire Life Insurance Co.,
Atlanta, Ha.
Kind Sir;—
I wm dumbfounded when I road In Atlanta papers that
an attempt had been made to put The Empire Life Insur
ance Company In the hand* of a receiver; especially, so soon
after n recent arid satisfactory meeting as I thought of all
Stockholders:. I have always had faith In the personal of the*
Empire’s officers and directors, and could not believe so stu->
pendous a fraud could have been smuggled and passed over
and approved hy expert accountants for the State, whose
business It Is to protect both Policy and Slock holders. As
before stated, I could not believe It, but the light began to
dawn when I was called upon hy agents of two of the lead
ing NORTHERN COMPANIES Immediately after thLs. re
port. and who began to knock The Empire Life, a Southern
Home Company, and boost the Northern Companies. Such
bragging and boosting Is conlemplahle In me. I believe In
letting the weak live as well uh the strong. I told them 1
would sink or swim with a home Institution, and should I
ever Ikke ally more life Insurance It ' would he with a
Southern Company.
If It can be proven that the Northern Insurance Trust
arc In any way connected with this corrupt stab In the
hnck at our Southern Institutions, 1 think all Southern blood
should rise up In righteous Indignation and place their
sfamp of disapproval so vividly that Southern Companies
would from this day on blossom like a rose hy receiving all
business from this sec tion.
I for one despise a man. Company, or Corporation who
wonts to ruls or ruin, and would crush the life from the
smaller ones who are making an honest effort to rise.
Rigid should be might, and I trust this effort to crush
you will redound to your coming success.
Tours very truly,
(Signed) J. R KELLY.
THIS 18 ONE OF HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR LET
TERS BEING RECEIVED DAILY, AND FOR ALL OP
WHICH WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL. COPIES OF ALL
