Mr.. Wadley and his associates are
not going, they state, on a specula-

money.
They go, on invitation, to lay their

German Money to Finance Southern
Cotton CORPORATION

f-1TlITH the possibility of secur-
lhIA ing $30O,OOO,000 of German
IU money to finance the South
ern States Cotton Corpora
ton, George Dole Wadicy, of Ma
con, and one or two associates, will
sail for the continent this week.
This journey is made at the ex-
press request of a great German
firm of cotton factors and bankers.
The invitation was made after a
special expert representative of the
world powerful syndicate in question
had spent weeks in personally in
Vestigating every phase OF the mann
moth Undertaking which Mr.. Wad-
ley and his associates in the South
nave been working on for the last
two years
The securing of this money, and
the promoters of the corporation
feel that quick and immediate sue
cess is close within their reach, will
mean that Fifteen Cent Cotton"
guaranteed, will become an unas-
sailable reality within a very short
time
This announcement was made yes
terday afternoon in Macon follow
ing an all-day conference of direc-
tors of the Southern States Cotton
Corporation, here from Texas, Loui-
siana and Mississippi and Georgia in
conference with President Wadley.
Ten men were here, and immedi-
ately that their conference was COM
pleted, they left for their several
homes. Mr.. Wadley gave out the
result of the meeting.
Further than the bold statement
made by Mr.. Wadley, no details
were made public except that when
the corporation is financed it will
mean the doubling Of the price of
cotton, an increase in revenue to
Southern farmers of almost A Bill
LION DOLLARS.
The meeting was held very quiet
ly. The officials of the company in
Macon-the homo office~is here-had
not heralded it and very few knew
that it was being held until it was
all over. 1t was called specifically,
by Mr.. Wadley to communicate to
the directors the invitation of the
German syndicate. They were in
conference practically all day in the
Georgia Life Building.
1t was stated last night by an Off
cial of the corporation that the saw
ing by elimination of excess charges,
to the farmer, such as bagging and
ties, weights, grades, sampling,
water and "job lotting" will amount
to $198,000,O0O alone.
The farmer for ten years has re-
ceived an average price of 10 cents
for his cotton. 1t costs IL cents

The status of the Vatican, today
as viewed by the United States SUI
preme Court, may be seen from the
following
The Pope though deprived of
the territorial dominion which he
formerly enjoyed, holds as sovereign
pont1ff and head of the Roman Cath
Ole Church, an exceptional position.
Though, in default of territory. he is
not a temporal sovereign, he is in
has the right Of active and passive
legation, and his ENJOYS Of the first
class, his apostolic nuncios, are spe-
cially privileged. Nevertheless he
does not make war, and the conven-
tons which he concludes with states
are not called treaties, but concor-
OATS. His relations with the king
dom of Italy are governed uniIater-
ally, by the Italian law of May 10,
1871, called the law of guarantees,
against which Plus TX and Leo XIII
have not ceased to protest. ("Di-
gest of Int. Law I, 3d.
While the probabilities seem to
be almost entirely against the posi-
b1llty Of the restoration of any tenn
poral power to the Pope, he is still
recognized as a sovereign by many
OF the powers of the world, which re-
ceiye from him diplomatic represen-
tatlves in the person of either a
nuncio, or legate, or possibly in
some other capacity, and, which
powers also accredit to him certain
diplomatic representatives
With all such arrangements
this government abstains from inter
fthOse powers to determine such
questions for themselves And when
one of them, at whose court has a
representative, receives a represen-
tative from the Pope Of higher rank
than that of the representative of
the U. S., it becomes the duty of the
latter to observe toward the Popes
representative the same courtesies
and formality of the first visit, pre-
scribed by the conventional rules of
intercourse and ceremonial, and Of
the precedence of diplomatic agents,
which have been adopted, and
almost invariably acted upon, for

At speech made in the House about
this time, by Mr.. Whitney, contains
some strong statements, and are
worthy of reproduction. We APP
pend few excerpts:
Representative Whitney: '"The ele-
ments of freedom are not in the
spirit of the Roman Catholicism.
One more text from the living wit
ness of our own day. So prolific are
the unwritten pages of the present,
that it is needless to look back into
the centuries of the past. Freedom
of conscience, says Pho Nino, is an
absurd and dangerous MAXIM and
the liberty of the press is that fatal
license of which we can not enter
tain too great a horror.
Mr.. BroWnson, the editor of the Ro-
man Catholic Review, tells us: The
pope is the proper authority to de-
eide whether the Constitution of this
country is, or is not; repugnant to
the laws of God!' Ergo, the pope is
the proper authority to determine
whether his subjects in this country
shall obey that Constitution or not.
/ ~ay that the papal power-I speak
OF the hierarchy-is hostile in all its
elements to what we understand as
civil and religious liberty, and,
therefore, as politico-religious ele-
ment it ought not to be encour-
aged.
"a Romish paper, called the
Rambler, tells us that Religious lib
erty in the sense of a liberty pos
sessed by every man to choose his
own religion, is one of the most
wicked delusions ever foisted upon
this age by the father of all deceit.
The very name Of liberty, except in
the sense of a permission to do GER
tain definite acts, ought to be ban
ished from the domain of religion
