TWO A PROTEST JAS. R. KELLY WHOLESALE AND RETAIL SUPPLY MERCHANT 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.
