HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?
That the doctrine of home rule has
ever been a principle deat to the
hearts of our southern people, and
the patronizing of home institutions
is simply the application of this prin
ciple to our «daily-and individual ne
cessities,
Never before in the history of the
south has southern people so exten
sively bought, sold and traded i all
lines among its home people. For
illustration, take a single instance:
Not many years ago, the farmer took
his cotton to town and sold it. That
cotton was shipped north, made inw
preducts by northern and eastern
mills and sent back for that same
farmer to buy. Now he takes his cot
ton to town and sells it, in a great
niany instances, to a cotton mill in
his home town, It is converted into
manufactured product 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 ot
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 puiely 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 ot death claims
and policy dividends.
Its reserve funds are invested in
ponds of southern states and southern
towns and cities; also, in firsi mor
gages on farms and other towin prop
erty of southern people. All of which
means the using of southern inoney
for the development and enriching of
this southern country and southern
institutions.
Therefore, when you can get jusi
as good, if not better, policy ia just
as good a company by taking your
lite insurance in the Empire Lite, ask
vourself to patronize a home company
rather than to send your premium
payments off flve hundred or a thou
sand miles away to some easiern or
northern company.
The Empire Life is safe and sound
and conservative in its management.
It pays its claims promptly. Then

Dr. Cook and Comimander Peary Are Hurrying Home to
Place Claims Before Authorities—Peary’s Report
- Substantiation of Cook’s Speed Claims.
London, England.—The ‘latest in
stallment of Commander Peary's sto
ry, as published here in The Times,
coincides in many Important partic
ulars with Dr, Cooks story,
It is evident from Peary's story that
there will be no doubt cast on his
own clalm as to reaching the pole,
He took observations with great
care; made soundings, but failed to
touch bottom and made a careful de
tour of the immediate polar circle,
A most important item of the ac
count is Pearv's statement that in 1:
hours he once covercd 40 miles, .
Fault had been found by critics
with Dr. Cook's claims of averaging
fifteen miles a day on his dash north,
Scientists declared that Dr. Cook's
story is both corroborated and dis
credited by Commander Robert L.
Peary's account,
A striking similarity in the descrip
tion of the Arctic fields beyond the
88th parallel of latituCe and within
the very shadow of the pole in the
narratives of the two explorers—a
vividly similar description of the
smooth, glacial surfaces and the rap
id time these conditions enabled both
men to make, went far to shatter

the skepticism concerning Cook’s ex
ploit and yet in the matter of tem
perature the figures are different, Mr.
Peary giving the temperature at 40
degrees below zero, while Dr. Cook
placed it at &3 degrees below—a vast
discrepancy.
Beyond the §9th latitude the tem
perature rose 15 degrees, according
to Peary. Cook made no mention of
warmer weather. So identically do
certain details bear out the state
ments of Dr. Cook that scientists and
geog¢.phers who had held aloof from
the controversy declared their faith
in the physician-explorer's story,while
of course crediting Commander Pea
ry’s story and using it as a basis of
comparison.
In the matter of temperature, .the
biggest discrepancy exists. Peary
speaks of the temperature ranging
from 33 degrees to 12 on April 7, the
day he left the pole. Dr. Cook’'s fig
ures ranged fully 50 degrees lower
After leaving the 88th parallel, Peary
set out alone in his dog sledge, leav
ing the other members of the party
to break camp and follow him.
Peary's description of the ice fields
beyond the 88th parallel bears out
Cook’s description. The surface, says
The Times account, was smooth and
level as a glacial fringe, broken only
occasionally with ridges and with
very little cpen water. The dogs
were able to proceed at a gallop and
in one run of ten hours immediately
after passing the 88th parallel Peary
made 20 miles. . :
At the 89th parallel the tempera
ture was 40 degrees below zero. Pass
ing the 89th parallel Peary made 25
miles in a single dash in a Dbitter
wind so cold that the flesh cracked
and even the Eskimos complained.
Beyond the 89th the scene was som
ber, the horizon smoky and gray, the
desolation indescribable. ;
Not a living thing in sight and the
golitude broken only by the groaning
of the greenish ice floes over - which
the .sledge sped. Cook had called it
a desolate spot—the solitude unbrok
en and the silence and loneliness op
pressive. As Peary proceeded the
going grew Dbetter and faster time
was made—another important feature
completely vindicating Dr. Cook and
bearing out, apparently, his narra
tive completely.
In 12 hours the Peary party was
DR. COOK MAKES FIRST
CRITICISM OF PEARY’S TRIP
Copenhagen, Denmark. — Astonisn
ing speed of 26.7 miles for nine days
made by Commander Peary' on his
dash over the ice plains to the pole,
according to the figures which he has
cabled to America and Kurope, was
pointed out by Dr. Frederick A. Cook
and his supporters as the first link in
the chain of corroborative evidence
by which Cook hopes to reinstate his
claim to the world
Commander Peary’s summary of his
trip shows that he made the final two
hundred and - thirty-nine miles 10
pole in thirteen days. Cook claims
he made two hundréd and twenty-six
miles over the ice in fifteen days and
his claim met ‘with ridicule. i
able to make 40 miles, There was
not a single stretch of open water
to hinder the march, The goal was
almosgt in sight,
Commander Peary took observa
tions at frequent intervals, until he
had ogtablished his feat, The com
mander had realized the ambition of
his lite: he was at the North Pole,
A detour of some eighteen miles
was made about the pole, observa
tions being taken almost continuous
ly to establish not only proof of the
discovery but for scientific values sub
sequently,
On the afterncon of April 7, the
day after the pole had been discov
ered, a sounding was made five miles
from the North Pole, The plummet
dropped 9,000 feet into the sea, and
etill did not touch BHottom,
Then started the race home. A
gale sprang up with giting winds
and rlinding snow, Luck favored
Peary just as it had favored Cook the
year before,
Commander Peary’s brief outline as
cabled here is as follows:
“July 6, 1908, left New York; July
&, left Cape Sydney; Awgust 1, ar
"‘.ved at Cape York, Greenland; Aug
ust 8, left Etah, Greenland; Septem
ber 1, arrived at Cape Sherilan,
Greenland; September 1 to February
15, wintered at Cape Sheridan; Feb
ruary 15, the sledge expedition left
the Roosevelt; March 1, expedition
started north of Cape Columbia;
March 2, passed the British record;
March 2 to 11, delayed by open wa

March 12 to 15, delayed by open wa
ter;: March 18, crossed 85th parallel;
March 22, crossed 86th parallel;
March 23, passed Norwegian record,
after encountering open water; March

passed American record; March 29,
encountered open water; April 2,

Copenhagen to Greenland to bring’

Danish officials have informed him
that it is now too late in the season
for a trip to Etah, The expedition, it
is stated, will be started early next
spring.
In scientific circles, both in Ameri
ca and abroad, the prevailing inclina
tion seems to be to await direct word:
from both explorers before arriving
at a conclusion as to their respective
achievements, and although a beliger
ent attitude was still preserved in the
two camps, open hostilities were
largely suspended.

achievement with the reports which
Dr. Cook has sent out, were very
generally agreed that Peary's find

in several-significant particulars, and
thus far raise no points of disagree

can be settled beyond reasonable '
