Of the Liability of Insurance Compa

Atlanta, June 13. The decision ,.f
the State Supreme court just handed
down, in the case of the Cheroke-
uie insurance Company of Rnnu.
fiie Mutual Late of Kome,
is the Gnal test of the liability nr
coram nte insurance comnanies
to income certiHeates, and is
sweeping victory tor the insurance
companies, inasmuch as it protects
them from the efforts of certiHeates
uoiderg to bring "strike'' suits for
receivership, and gives the companies
ample time and opportunity to meet
meir cenincates only as the income
oi tue companies warrant.
me decision is aDDlieablH t uii
life insurance companies in Georgia
which have issued income certifictej
and is therefore of interest in its
bearing upon the whole southern life
insurance situation.
uunng the past year, holders of
income certittcates, which were
most cases bought at lialf Driee and
Miineiimes less, have endeavored bv

vm;,j yvoiiie means mar, court nro-
.-"lire aiiowea to throw certain of
the insurance companies into Hi..
hands ot receivers because thev could
not immediately collect full value for
the certificates. Most of these suits
were stricken from the docket i
diately when their nature was known,
"'iK i mem was necessarily
embarrassing to tbe companies, an l
hampered the progress thev vm
mauing in getting substantial grow
ing basis.
The decision of the Supreme court
sets forth that these certificates are
not entorcible liabilities and effectual
ly puts a stop to the filing of these
strike" stuts, To have forced the
companies to accept these old certifi
cates as immediate liabilities, that
could be enforced at once, would
have meant great hardship in many
instances, and might have permanent
ly crippled some of the companies,
which now under the Supreme court
decision face an era of safe and sure
growth and prosperity.
mere win be no more issuing of
income certificates, as tbe new State
insurance law makes no provision for
their issue.
The immediate case in which the
sweeping decision was rendered was
that of Lockridge against the State
Mutual Life of Rome, hi
Lockridge and others upon the plea
that they were holders of Vflrimm
income certificates issued hv th.
Rome company, which Loekridow
claimed were "liabilities enforcible

Protesting.
Salisbury Post.
Protests are coming in from every
section of the State over the failure
of the Democratic State convention
to endorse a state-wide primary law.
The excuse the convention endorsed
will not satisfy anyone except a few
of the old stand pat crowd that be
lieves in a hand-full of men controll
ing and directing the affairs of th
county, and tho whole marking np
the control of the State. The troub
le was the people. did not take interest
in this convention, stayed away and
allowed the small representation from
each county to chloroform the wishes
of the people. But there ia a day
coming when this is going to Stop. '
The rank and file of the party does
believe in and want a State-wide pri
mary and they may be relied upon
to protest against this makeshift.
