HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?
That the doctrine of home rule has
cver been a principle dear to the
Lhearts of our southern people, and
the patronizing of home institutions
i« «imply the application of this prin
ciple to bur daily and individual nue
cegsities, e
Never before in the history of the
gouth has southern people s 0 exten
gively bought, sold and traded in &l
lines among its home people. For
ilinustration, take a single insiance.
Not many years ago, the farmer toos
his cotton to town and sold it. ‘That
cotton was shipped north, made into
products by northern and eastern
mills and sent back for that same
farmer to buy. Now he takes his coi
ton to town and sells it, in a great
many instances, to a cotton mill in
his home* town, It is converted into
manufactured preduct within a few
miles of where the cotton itself was
produced,
Not alone in cotton, but in many
other lines, hundreds of products
bought and used by southern people
are manufactured in the south.
This means developing the different
sections of the south in the expendi
ture of money for the building of
these manufacturing plants and in
the expenditure of money in the em
ployment of labor. Every dollar spent
in this way is beneficial to you be
cause it enriches and develops your
home section, .
The same article applies identically
to life insurance.
The Empire Life Insurance Compa
ny is a purely mutual, old line, legal
reserve, southern institution, with its
Home Office in Atlanta, Georgia. Its
funds are received in the way of pre
mium payments from the people of
the south, Its funds go back to the
people of the south in the way of pol
icy loans, payment of death claims
and policy dividends.
Its reserve funds are invested in
bends of southern states and southern
towns and cities; also, in first mort
cages on farms and other town prop
erty of southern people. All of which
means the using of southern money
for the development and enriching of
this southern country and southern
institutions.
Therefore, when you can get jusi
as good, if not better, policy in just
as good a company by taking your
life insurance in the Empire Life, ask
yourself to patronize a home company
rather than to send your premium
payments off five hundred or a thou
sand miles away to some eastern or
northern company. |
The Empire Life is safe and sound
and conservative in its managecment.
It pays its claims promptly. Then
give us your business,

Five Men Taken From Isolated
Island in Pacific Ocean.
Fourteen Days Without Food, Water or
Shelter---Captain’'s Wife Killed Her
Children.
Victoria, B, C.—Because no wreck
had occurred in the vicinity for
years the British government ceased
some time ago to leave supplies for
ghipwrecked mariners at desolate
Middleton lg¢land, in the South seas,
Because such supplies ' were nol
found there as they had been led by
the sailing directions to expect, the
crew of the Norweglan bark Errol,
formerly the Carisbroke Castle, expes
rienced all the agonies of starvation
during two weeks in which they had
no morsel of food or drop of water,
Several went jusane; others, including
Captain Anderson, perished in their
endeavors 1o make and float a small
raft,
Mrs. Anderson, the master’'s wife,
sacrificed her four children and com
mitted suicide, when, after the death
of the husband and father, she heard
the seamen discussing recourse to
cannibalism. The story of the ma
rooning of the Errol's crew and their
subsequent experiences was brought
in by the Australian liner Makura.
The survivors of the hapless crew
haed reached Sydney shortly before
the sailing of the Canadsan-Austra
lian steamer. They had been rescued
by the steamer Tofu, after two weeks
of torment on the reef following June
18, The rescued, if they Ilive, will
remain unbalanced,
Patrick Palmer, able seaman, who
joined the vessel before she started
from Copuimboon on her ill-fated voy
age to Newcastle, had the best recol
lection of the fourteen days on the
reef.
“We are the last of the twenty-two,”
he said. “That's including the cap
tain's wife and their four children.
Five of us got away from the wreck
in a raft. We went all over the reet
in search of water, but found none,
and one died on the reef. We had
difficulty in building the raft, and the
captain and second mate both got
drowned assisting us.
“The captain’s wife stood within a
few feet of him watching him drown.
As she stood there wringing her hands
she had her four kids, from the bha
by, a year old, to the eight-year-old
girl, standing beside her.”
Ancther survivor took up the story.
He said that when the sufferers
were sitting in the sand the captain’s
wife thought they were considering a
resort to canibalism. Her mind was
gone. Suddenly she ran into the sea
and drowned her four children, fol
lowing them into the waves, The ema
ciated survivors watched her, one of
the laughing; his mind was gone,
too, When relief finally came there
were but five alive, four men and a
boy, and these were so exhausted that
they had to be carried by rescuers to
the boats.
IMMUNE AGAINST HOG CHOLERA.
Serum Experiments at Kansas City
Declared Successful.
Kansas City, Co.—That hogs inocu
lated with a -serum discovered by a
government specialist, are immune
from chelera has been demonstrated
to the satisfaction of United States
government officers who have been
conducting a test at the Kansas City
stock yards. :
At the beginning of the test, 30 days
ago, 35 hogs were placed in an iso
lated pen. Twenty-two of them were
inoculated with the serum. In four of
the remainder virulent cholera blood
was injected, and nine underwent no
treatment at all.
The 13 hogs which were not im
munized died of cholera during the
test, while the 22 that had been in
oculated are alive and perfectly heal
thy. The immunized hogs were sub
jected to every form of exposure to
cholera.
The carcasses of the untreated hogs
that died were allowed to remain in
the pens with immunized animals as
long as two or three days.
CARS COLLIDE IN AUTO RACE.
Louise Cole is Killed and Laurent
Gross Cannot Recover.
Brighton Beach, N. Y.—Louis Cole,
mechanician of the Stearns car in the
24-hour automobile race, was Kkilled
and the driver Laurent Gross, was
fatally injured in a collision with the
Acme car: the crew of the Acme were
only slightly injured; both cars were
wrecked, Gross and Cole were thrown
from their car in the collision. Cole
was almost instantly killed; Gross’
spine was broken and he cannot re
cover. o
HOLY SEPULCHRE RELIC.
Ancient Wooden Lock in the Hands of
James Creelman,
Ney York City.—The ancient wood
en lock of the gate of the holy sepul
chre in the city of Jerusalem is now
in this city in the home of James
Creelman, a magazine writer, to
whom it was presented by Faydi Effen
di, mayor of Jerusalem,
The lock is believed to have been
placed on the gate during one of the
later crusades, Six years ago, the
Turkish government wanted -to replace
the crumbling old interlocking pieces
of wood with a modern lock, but the
French consul instantly protested. A
compromise was made and duplicate
of the old lock’ put in its place. -
