BIG MONEY IIP
ON TJ_ FIGHT
Even Poor Seats For Tonight’s
Event Bringing sls to S2O
Each at Olympia Arena.
London. —There was a great influx
of sportsmen from Franc§ and other
continental countries today to attend
the 20-round fight at Olympia arena
tonight between “Gunboat” Smith,
tile American heavyweight, and
Georges Carpentier, the European
heavyweight champion. Among those
who arrived were many Americans
desirous of seeing their countryman
in action against the popular cTench
man.
Many who came today and who had
failed to hook their seats in advance
found seats selling at a premium.
Even the poorest ones, yards away
Iro mthe ringside, were quoted at
from sls to S2O, while those in the
vicinity of the ropes were not obtain
able at any price'.
The fight has created more interest
here than any pugilistic encounter
since that between Peter Jackson and
Frank S. Slavin about a quarter of a
century ago, although no world’s
championship is at stake.
Carpentier today was still a fa
vorite in the betting Smith’s backers
were ready to accept even money but
the Frenchman’s followers seemed
willing to place their money at odds.
It was sufficient to estimate the
amount wagered on the event, as no
central place for making bets exists
in London, but it was known that
practically every on® in the leading
clubs and hotels had some money at
stake.

Business Men Back Up Bill to
Force Bond Before Filing a
Bill For Receivership
Representative Evans, of Screven County, Has a Bill Calling
For Bond of SIO,OOO When One Files Bill Against In
surance Company—Would Prevent Attacks From Dis
gruntled or Unscrupulous Individuals.
Atlanta, Ga.—The house of repre
sentatives today Is preparing to con
sider a bill designed to protect Geor
gia insurance companies from the all
too frequent attacks of unscrupulous
or disgruntled Individuals who, on a
slight pretext or to gain selfish ends,
attempt to throw the company into a
receivership or through threat of such
acton attempt to ‘blackmail” or hold
up the company. Georgia has had a
number of such instances within the
past Tew years and the suits, though
most of them have failed to prove any
wrong doing, have injurtd the pres
tige of the companies.
Representative Evans, of Screven
County, introduced the bill in the
lower house, which provides that any
person bringing suit for a receiver for
an insurance company in Georgia
must give bond for not less than
SIO,OOO to back up his contention. If
the action brought by him is not sus
tained or if a receiver is not appoint
ed, this bond must stand as security
for attorneys’ fees, court costs and
damages sustained by the company,
the amount to be assessed by the trial
Judge. The bill provides that in case
a receiver is appointed or other de
cisions gained against the company
and this is reversed by the supremo
court, the person bringing suit is held
to have lost the suit and must pay
the damages provided.
There is at present no iaw to pre
vent any person bringing a receiver
ship suit against a company on the
slightest pretext. Even though tht
company wins out in court its busi-

BACK FROM RHODES
STORES CONVENTION
Mr. Geo. E. Stovall, Manager
of the Augusta Branch, Tells
of Week’s Sessions. Growth
of Business.
Mr. Geo. E. Stovall local manager
of A. G. Rhodes & Sons. Augusta, Ga.,
Is back from a trip to Atlanta, where
he was called to atend a convention of
the managers of the Rhodes Syndi
cate which assembled there last week.
It has long been the custom of this
firm, who has branches throughout
the southern states, to call a meeting
of the managers of the different
houses for a general conference for
the discussion of matters pertaining to
th* business. A review of the past
year's business from a comparative
standpoint shows Augusta among the
most prosperous of the branches and
Mr. Stovall the popular local manager,
Is to be congratulated upon having so
ably steered the affairs of the Au
gusta branch.
Pioneers in the furniture line, Mr.
A. G. Rhodes, president of this organ
ization was the first in the south to
establish the weekly or monthly In
stallment plan In the furniture line.
Huch an innovation naturally requir
ed time and careful study to perfect,
but during the many years operated
the Rhodes Furniture Company have
probably furnished more homes than
any other organization in the south.
The Atlanta store, established in 1876,
was the first store, this after two (2>
years was moved to Nashville, Term.,
and headquarters established there.
After two years (2) years there, how
ever, he returned to Atlanta, leaving
the Nashville store under a local man
ager. Immediately after his return
to Atlanta Mr. Rhodes began the
opening of branches throughout the
south and southwest, and during the
course of the years following has at
some time or other, had a store In
practically every town In this entire
territory.
The First Branch in Augusta.
The first branch store opened was
established In this city and has been
suceesfully operated ever since, and It
is today among the most completely
stocked and successful furniture
stores In the sfkte.
Mr. Rhodes Is noted for Ills willing
ness to aid young men to launch into
business for themaelves. Ho has
trained and set up In business a large
number who are now themselves suc
cessful bmSness men. He is constant
ly on the arelt and quick to recognize
merit.
Bon Active Member of Firm,
At the age of 18, Mr. J. D. Rhodes’
only son entered his father's office
and began under him to learn the fur
niture business. When lie was 21 his
father turned over an interest in the
business and he has grauually taken
over the heavier burdens from his
father's shoulders and materially aid
ed In making the firm the largest ex
clusive retail furniture store In the
south.
The annual sales of this concern
for 1913 totaled two-million dollars,
and from the present out-look will
exceed this amount for 1914. The
Rhodes’ plan has many original and
unique selling methods. They*believe
in specializing and frequently offer ar
ticles at pprices lower than the cost of
manufacture. They are liberal gd*
