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.

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.

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.
