Atlanta, Ca, May 31.-The South
Cotton Buyers Association will
meet at the Piedmont hotel Thursday
morning and appoint representatives
to go to London and protest against
London and European bankers re-
quiring Southern cotton to be shipped
on port bills of lading. They wish
for through bills of lading to continue
to be allowed. This representative will
probably be authorized to suggest
surety company as protection for
through bills of lading.
Atlanta bankers and cotton broker S
say if port bills Of lading on cotton
shipments are required that business
in Atlanta will suffer the greatest
blow it has ever received. J. H. Coils
cashier of the Central Trust and Bank
ing Corporation, says the foundation
of business in Atlanta will be shaken
if the new ruling stands.

BREAK CAUSES DELAY
Damage to Drill Stops Work at White
aker OIL Well.

The breaking of important parts OF
necessary to suspend operations at the
Whitaker oil prospect for few days
At depth of something over 1000
feet stratum of hard rock was en-
countered and the jars, or slips, OF
the drill were broken, making further
work for the time impossible.
The company Immediately wired to
Los Angeles for new slips These will
be sent by express, and are expected
to arrive in Dallas about the middle of
next week. Meanwhile, the workmen
will busy themselves in overhauling
the machinery so that the drilling
may be rushed even more rapidly af-
ter the necessary repairs have been
made. Anticipating pressure of gas
from the well, the company has also
ordered stronger gate valves and
these will be installed Immediately up
on their arrival.
George Emory, president of the
company, came up from Portland a
few days ago and is making his head
quarters at the company's office in
this city. Both Mr.. Emory and Judge
Sibley are much pleased with the pros
poets. The signs are growing better
daily and there are strong indications
that oil in paying quantitie will soon
be reached. The delay caused by the
breaking of the machinery is some
what exaSnerating bl1t the cOmnanv
is losing no time in replacing the
parts so that work may be resumed
at the earliest possible date.

BACK PAYMENT DUE
Postmasters OF 3O-Odd Years Ago Not

vices, notwithstanding that their
claims have been examined into and
the amounts found to be due them.
A bill to adjust these old claims was
recently introduced in the Senate. but
a fight was made to defeat it, and ap-
parently the effort was successful, for
the bill has been referred to the post
office committee. whose chairman is
avowedly opposed to settling these
claims. Like the just claims Of the
early Indian War Veterans, this debt
seems destined to be repudiated by
the Government merely because it
happens to be of long standing. The
