by the woman's department Of the cotton

well as the business management. De-
spite the eight inches of snow that COW

Mrs. Joseph Thompson was at the man
aging editorial desk. while Mrs. Atkinson
welded the scissors among the state ex-

Mrs. William Dlckerson presided with a
corps of assistants in the business office,
and Mrs. b. w. Wrenn managed the ad-
vertisements.
Mrs. Clarence Knowles was city editor
Her staff of reporters was composed Of
the most popular society girls in the city.
As reporters, the young ladies were a
dazzling success Some Of them made
their rounds accompanied by the beaux
of the town, while others made their as
signments in sleighs and some rolled up
their coat collars and trudged through the
snow. They interviewed everybody in
sight, from John l.. Sullivan, who got In
on a delayed train, to Gov. Atkinson and
some Of the condemned murderers now
confined in the Fulton county jail. They
covered" police headquarters and the
undertakers, and a reserve was kept
ready for fires, but unfortunately for the
ladies there was no alarm.
The ladies will net about $4,000 on their

a Relief That the Roads Terms
Have Been Rejected.
Washington, Feb. 16.-There appears to
be a hitch in the proceedings looking to-
ward an adjustment of the wage contro-
versy between the Southern Railway Com
pany and its employees. The committee Of
forty representing the empolyes. whose
demand for a restoration of the former
schedule was refused on Wednesday by
the officials of the road, is still in session
in this city, but not one of the members
will give out any information as to the
probable outcome of the meeting, or the
question at issue.
The committee continued its session to-
day and it is said late in the afternoon
a statement was sent TO Vice President
Baldwin rejecting the terms of the sched-
ule proposed by the company. Everything
pertaining to the question of a settlement
is kept secret and neither the employees
nor the railway officials will give out any
Information for publication.
Matters are evidently badly complicated
but both sides are hopeful that a salts
factory agreement will be reached in a
few days. 1t was stated tonight that in
the event of a failure on the part of the
committee to arrive at a satisfactory
settlement with the company, the broth
erhood chiefs would be called to the city
to assist in the work. The committee will
not assemble Tomorrow but will continue
its deliberations Monday morning.

The General Debate on the Naval
Appropriation Bill Closed.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE general de-
bate on the naval appropriation bill was
closed in the House to-day. Mr.. Wash
burn, dem, Of Tennessee, was the only
opponent of the increase of the navy pro-
posed in the bill, and this fact caused Mr..
Adams, rep, Of Pennsylvania. to express
surprise that one of that name should be
heard uttering such sentiments on the
floor of the House.
The passage of the bill as reported was
advocated by Messrs. Geissenhainer. DEM,
of New Jersey, Adams, rep, of Pennsyl-
vania, Milliken, rep, Of Maine, Coombs,
dem, of New York, and Talbot, DEM, of

he had better hurry up and pass the bill,
