Walter L. Cohen
Nomination To Be
Reconsidered
Washington, March 14th, 1924. Agreement was reached in the United States Senate to make the motion of Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, to reconsider the vote of 37 to 35, by which Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana, nominee of President Cooledge, for comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, was rejected, special Senate rejection on account of "personal objections" of southern senators. The dissatisfaction, both of the colored people at large and earnest Republicans, was assuaged when President Coolidge and Chairman John T. Adams, of the National committee, promptly demonstrated that they are firm and hard behind Cohen. It is thought that the reconsideration
motion of Senator Shipstead is the result of calm reflection of many who feel that Cohen is right for the position, and there is a feeling of confidence that eventually will receive the senatorial confirmation which has so long been denied him.
Missouri Delegates Squabble
(Lincoln News Service
St. Louis, March 15, 1924.—Not less interesting than the Reed and McAdoo struggle to capture the Missouri delegation to the National Democratic Convention, is the fight now being staged by our leading colored male and female politicians, each of whom are ambitious to attend the National Republican Convention as a delegate-at-large. Among the most prominent of those mentioned in this connection are J. Silas Harris, Aaron Malone, J. A. Bradbury,
J. R. A. Crossland, G. G. Williams, Miss
---
Bertha Buckner, Miss Minnie Crosswaite, Fred Dabney, B. F. Bowles, C. H. Colloway, Homer Phillips and L. A. Knox. As the Republican State Convention does not meet in Springfield until April 27, it is thought that there is ample time to considerably reduce the size of the slate by the well known progress of eliminating those whose party record in local as well as state affairs will not stand an X-ray exposure. All kinds of charges of party irregularity are being circulated and it is beginning to appear that the only peaceful way of settling the matter will be to unite and name one of the ladies.

A stork appeared in West Broad street this week presumably the same fellow that has been leaving his tracks in the vicinity of the Hardshell Church grounds and neighboring points. This time he seemed to be headed down South Paris street, but he fled before the brick bats hurled by some little boys.
OBITUARY
Mrs. Jane Elder, of 326 Arch street, departed this life March 15th. Sister Elder was a very industrious and saving woman. In her days of health she tilled the soil, made her own meet, and her shelves were lined with jars of fruit the most of which grew on her own place.
For about a year the mechanism of her willing frame had been much impaired, and she grew weaker, weaker, until the end came.
Sister Elder leaves to mourn her loss two granddaughters, Mrs. Julia Statham and Mrs. Rosa Lee Dillard and one brother, Mr. James Elder of Akron, Ohio.
Mr. Dock Muckle diek in East Athens last week. His funeral was attended from Friendship Baptist Church, the Rev. J. F. Henry officiating. His remains were interred in the Spraulding Cemetery.
MRS. FANNIE CASTLE DIES

In her early years she attended Hoyt Chapel, located in the vicinity of what is now the Central of Georgia Deport. The ordinance of Baptism was administered to her by the celebrated Father Hill. She was married near the time of surrender, and of this marriage seven child ren were born. The survivors are: Miss Mary Castle, of Athens; Miss Luvenia Castle, of Atlanta; Mrs. Rosa West-

A $100,000 Company Formed Guaranty Life Insurance Company Increases Its Capital
Recently the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company sued out papers for the purpose to increase its Capital stock from $25,000 to $100,000. It sought further in the application the right to engage in the life insurance business as an old line Company.
The prayers of the Company were granted and the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company by the grant became the GUARANTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY with all the rights and immunities of the other big Corporations.
After the legal phrases of the situation were cleared away, the Guaranty Life Insurance Company placed upon the market the $100,000 worth of stock at the phenominally low rate of $200.00 per share. This stock is now open to the public and agents all over the state will take the Certificates to the very doors of prospective buyers.
The Guaranty Life Insurance Company, by virtue of the existence and splendid accomplishments of the Guaranty Mutual and Health Insurance Company, will be no strange constellation of insurance firmament. The established reputation of the former will impotus to the latter, and it is reasonably expected that the stocks of the Guaranty Life will 'go easily' because of the enviable reputation of its predecessor.
The officers and directors and stockholders of the old Company form the basic actors of the new Company. They will put into the new company all of the vim and vigor utilized in the interest of the old plus additional effort of new factors injected for the purpose to accelerate the upward trend.
The Guaranty Life Insurance Co. realizes that this is a day of big things and that still bigger things are peeping over the horizon of material progress. It is keeping watch upon the "last" in order to catch first indications of new ideas and to hasten the coming by lifting before their sight and keen convincing proof that we are alive and have been working to prepare the way and to unite with projectors of newer ideas and more pronounced action.
