VIRGINIA COMPANY
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Mr. R. C. Dance Has Up-
To-Date Company in In
surance Field.
Among the most enterprising husl
ness men in the city is Mr. R, C.
Dance, superintendent of the Life In
surance Company of Virginia. Mr.
Dunce is an up-10-date man with an
up-to-date company and during the
four years that he lias represented
his company In Augusta has achieved
a most phenomenal success. Tho
Virginia Life Insurance company is
one of the most successful In the
insurance field.
And it deserves it, for Its affairs
have been wisely and discreetly con
ducted, and It has always met Its
obligations promptly and cheerfully.
It has been built up on broad and
safe foundations, and lis pyrsmlnd is
a first-rate picture of its character. It
has demonstrated the fact that there
is a field In the south for life insur
ance companies. It was a pioneer in
that field, and now. after
years of honorable service it is one
of the most substantial and prospei
ous of all southern Institutions of
that character. In addition to the
substantial benefits it has paid to Its
policy holders; In addition to thrift
that it has eucouraged throughout
Virginia nnd the south; In addition to
its service as a promoter of southern
enterprise, it has furnished employ
ment for many men and women, giv
ing them the means of earning a live
lihood in comfortables surroundings
Rnd congenial atmosphere. No insii
tution in the south which employs
women or refinement has don’ more
tnan the Life Insurance Company of
Virginia to dignify labor and remove
from it every sense of humiliation.
Mr. Dunce has been with ihe com
pany for the east sixteen years and
the company has every reason for
congratulations for having secured
his efficient services Ho Is energetic,
he Is painstaking and he is vigilant.
He enjoys a popularity in Augusta
that Is second to none, and hts genial
personality an 1 cordial good fellow
ship cannot fail to make itself and
redound to the great credit of the
company which he is representing so
splendidly.
A Correction.
A mistake was made in the name
of the purchaser of two acres of land
in Hephzlbah. as published in The
Herald. It was Mr. Jim Jenkins who
bought two acres from Mr W. W.
Willis, and not a Dr. Jennings.
AUGUSTA II GET
T 1 NEW HOTELS
It is very probable that Augusta
wiii soon see launched a movement
to erect in the city two splendid
hotels.
There is every reason to believe
that local and foreign capital is in
ti rested in seperate projects- one to
build in the heart of Augusta a tran
sient hotel that will be the equal of
anything in the -outh; and the other
to erect a modern tourist hotel.
Plans that are being talked about
provide for a commercial hotel of 200
rooms, modern in every detail, fire
proof, to cost in the neighborhood of
$200,000. If reports are true, it will
be situated in the center of the busi
ness district; and definite steps w-iil
be taken in the near future.
A favorable location in Monte Sano
will probably be. the site of the ru
mored new tourist hotel. It is un
derstood that a definite protect has
been formulated. Augusta’s great
strides within the past few years to
ward n place in the very front, rank
of inland jrinter resorts make it ap
pear alnirffit. certain that further ac
commodations will be provided with
[ in a comparatively short time for the
; great throng of winter visitors, con
stantly increasing in numbers.

CAWLEY LAID OUT THE
MAN WHO TAUNTED HIM
Former Policeman, Just
Off Chain-Gang, Arrested
for Knocking Down R. E.
Martin on McKinne St.
L. L. Cawley, a former Augusta po
liceman who was released a few days
ago from the Richmond county con
vict camp, after serving time with
former Policeman Martin, for convic
tion of robbing a Chinaman of money
and a diamond ring, was arrested Sat
urady afternoon on McKinne street,
for striking down a man named R
B. Martin, who was also arre led and

Eye witnesses to the difficulty say
that Martin started into the store of
a Chinaman, and invited Cawley to

follow. The former policeman held
back, and said, in effect, that he was
done with all Celestials. It appears
that Cawley’s refusal so angered Mar
tin that he cursed, and taunted his
companion with the remark that “yon
ought to have thought of that before.”
Cawley warned Martin, it is said,
not to repeat the insult, but he said
it again, and Cawley knocked him
down.
Officer Quarles arrived at this junc
ture, and placed both men under ar
rest.
By a strange coincidence, the man
Cawley knocked down bears the
same name as the former policeman
with whom he served on the chain
gang.
It will be remembered that Caw-ley
and Martin were pardoned by Gover
nor Smith, although it only saved
them a short time of penal servitude.
