COMPANY WILL LIKELY LIQUIDATE
Directors of Southern States Cotton
Corporation to Hold Meeting in
Dallas, Tex, Tomorrow.

DALLAS, Tex.-A call for meet
ing of the Southern States Cotton
Corporation, to be held in Dallas on
March 7, has been issued by George
Dole Wadley, chairman of the execu-
tive committee. Plans for adjusting
difficulties of the organization, new
in temporary receivership, will be
considered. All holders of script of
the company have been asked to
meet in this city on March IA.
Pay All Debts.
\ temporary receiver was appoint
ed several days ago on petition of
several holders of the company's
script. In his call for the directors
meeting Mr.. Wadley says he believes
the corporation can liquidate all of
its debts if the cotton now on hand
is held under the plan to secure at
least Is cents pound. According
to his statement the assets, in addi-
ton to cash, consist of $4,000 bales
of spot cotton and 10000 bales of
cotton bought for May delivery in
New York.
On December 81, Mr.. Wadley con-
tinues, the corporation had assets of
cash and property of cash value OF
about 100000, leaving $760,000
available to pay the script amounting
to $1,750,000, and this 100000,
Wadley claims, probably would
amount to more than the market
price of the cotton when the sellers
delivered it to the corporation.

THE GENTLER SEX WANTS REP
RESERVATION ON SEVERAL
CITY BOARDS.
AN ACTIVE CAMP AIGN is BEGUN

Women Have Said They Want Rep
resentatiOn, Are Going to Make a
Fight For 1t and Are Enlisting the
Influence of Prominent Men,
ATLANTA. Atlanta women are
about to break into politics, regard
less of the legal right to vote. There
has been started a serious agitation
as to the appointment of women on
the city boards, and the suggestion
has been received with so much ia
vor, at least as to some of the boards,
such as those having charge of the
parks, health conditions and other
similar lines, that there seems a pos
sibilfty of it's reaching successful is
sue.
Whereas, capable women can be
found competent to aid in the strug-
gle for a better, cleaner, happier At
lanta." reads one clause of set of
resolutions recently adopted by the
Atlanta Federation of Women S
Clubs, composed of eighty-six organ
izations and 1000 members, follow
ing which it was unanimously
agreed that the city council should
be urged to consider at once the ex-
pediency of placing a minority OF Wo-
men members on certain of the city
boards.
Women to Help Woodward.
At the meeting of the club women
at which these resolutions were
adopted Mayor Jim Woodward made
the women a speech in which he told
them that he had less power and au-
thority than any mayor in the United
States, The women then and there
resolved that they would come to
the assistance of Mayor Woodward
in uplifting the city, whether they
can secure representation on the city
boards or not.
This understanding between the
mayor and the Atlanta club women
is a development nothing short OF
remarkable when past criticism OF
the mayor is taken into cons1dera-
ton. 1t is, however, another evil
dence of the fact that the mayor is
growing in popularity with all class
es in Atlanta, and many of those who
were condemning him for various
reasons a year or more ago would
now support him against anyone who
might offer.
But going back to the question of
the presence of women on the city
boards the women have said they
want it, they are going to make a

WAS BENTON AMERICAN?
Atlanta Woman Thinks Man Slain by
Villa May Be Brother.

If William S. Benton, the man
who was slain by General Villa, in
Juarez, Mex, recently proves to be
an American and not an Englishman,
as is generally supposed, he may
have a sister living in Atlanta and be
former Montgomery man. That
is the reason Mrs. r. E. Southland
of Atlanta is waiting eagerly to see
what the result of the present Juror
over the Benton killing will result
and whether the identity of the dead
will be fully established as that of
the Englishman.
According to Mrs. Southland she
has a rrother, William Benton, who
went to Mexico twenty years ago
and whom she has not seen in TWEEN
ty years.

The war makes trouble for the
Star, as we'll as for everybody else.
"A day or two ago, a friend, Ger
man lady living in the south of the
county, sent us a mild scolding about
our anti-German attitude, and a copy
of Herman Riders article, which
we had read several days previously.
This morning, a young man whom
we don't know, stopped US and want
ed us to read clipping from a Lon
don paper. A glance at it informed
Us that we had read the same story
in Canadian paper last week. When
we told the young man this, he prac-
tically called us a liar and went his
way believing us an out and out Ger
man sympathizer.
Now, if anybody will read the Star
closely, they will come to the con-
cIusion, first, it is mighty sorry there
is any war; second, that it tries to
give a square deal to both sides.
The Star thinks it will be best fo1
the allies to win, but it doesn't think
so because of any prejudice against
the Germans, who stand just as close
to this paper in friendship as any
people in the world.
Also, the Star doesn't join in put
ting the blame for the conflict on any
people or nation. 1t is a result o
the inevitable course of cireum
stances. 1t is one of the things tina
| had to he, like our own civil war. /
could have been avoided if peopl'
had been wiser, but they are not, anC
| won't be for some time.
Also, if anybody will study It'll,
Star, they will find it gives NOR,
| space to the German side of the ques
ton than any other paper in thi
part of the country. Tt gives as mucl
or more to the Germans as to thei
opponents, because it knows publ
opinion is generally against the Ger
mans, and wishes them to have
square deal.

ponents. Hood at once assumed the
offensive and in a few days battered
his army almost to pieces and was
compelled to abandon ATLANTA and
open Georgia to the March to the
Sea-" AT that time, the doom of the
Confederacy was already sealed, but
had Johnston remained in command,
the South would probably have been
spared several disastrous defeats and
some thousands of valuable lives. If
the allies, with their greatly super
Tor resources, continue their Joe
Johnston tactics," doing not only
what Johnston did, but what he would
have done had he had the force to
do with, Germany's finish may be de-
Iayed, but it will arrive.

1t is reported that the Germans in
South Africa expect the Beers to join
them in war against the British. The
Beers have done very we'll since the
war. They may have lost their indie
pendence as a nation, but they have
more freedom in domestic affairs
than they had under Kruger. All they
would get out of an attack on Britain
now would be little barren revenge,
for which they would pay in whole
sale crushing later.

The change of name of st. Peters
burg to Petrograd brings out the fact
that the Russians have never prefix
ed Saint to their capital city, but
1aye always called it simply Peters
burg. It was named after Peter the
Great, who was not only NO saint,
but didn't claim to be one. The Rus
slams never use the prefix saint to any
of their towns. For instance, Petro-
pavlosk CPeter and Paul., tho NAM
ed after the first two saints in the
calendar, was not given the clumsy
prefix by the Russians, who seem
more sensible in this regard than
most other European peoples. This
may be partly due to the Russian dis
position to omit titles, in which they
are more democratic than any other
people. The saint in St. Petersburg
is blunder of British geographers
copied by the Americans.

When a man begins looking at the

The dispatch from Washington,
announcing that President Wilson
had bought bale of cotton for $50
meant that the president had joined
the 'fbuy bale movement. This
move originated in Atlanta last week.
1t is proposed that every person in
the United States who is able shall
buy a bale of cotton in order to help
the Southern cotton grower. The
example set by Mr.. Wilson should be
widely followed.

The allies in France are evidently
following Joe Johnston's tactics. In
May, 1864, when Sherman started to
Atlanta, he had we'll equipped army
of at least 100000 veterans. John
ston had a little over 10000 men,
also veterans, but not as we'll armed
as the federals, and otherwise poorly
supplied. Tt took Sherman over two
months to force Johnston's army back
to the vicinity of Atlanta, during
which time he lost over 2 5 900 men,
while the Confederate losses were
not more than 5000. At this point,
president Davis replaced Johnston
with Hood, brave and skillfu1 com
mander, but one not fitted to handle
the wasted forces of the Confederacy
against their greatly superior OPP

AN INTERNATIONAL
BLOOD OATH

The Columbia State thus aptly de-
scrfbes the agreement entered into
by Great Britain, France and Russia
in London Saturday:
1t is war to the hiIt. blood TO the
last drop, treasure to the final kopec.
On sea and on land, at home and
abroad, in the far islands, IN isolated
possessions, among all races free and
subject, it is to be war to the end.
So reads the agreement CT the
Triple Entente, signed al London by
The representatives OF England,
France and Russia:
The undersigned, duly authorized
thereto by their respective govern
ments, hereby declare as follows:
THE British, French and Russian
governments mutually engage not to
conclude peace separately during the
present war The three governments
agree that when the terms of peace
come to be discussed, no one of the
allies will demand conditions of
peace without the previous agree
ment of each of the other allies.
In faith whereof, the undersigned
have affixed thereto their seals.
Done at London in triplicate this
9TH day of September, 1914"
Germany may we'll pause at such
a declaration. 1t means that where
ever on the globe she has a posses
sion, there her enemies, guarded by
the fleets of Britain, France and
Japan, will search her out. 1t means
that, however her armies may batter
at the doors OF Paris, or even take
the city itself, new armies will pour
into the aid of France to fight her to
the end-armies from India, from
| Canada. from Australia, from. New
Zealand, from South Africa, from al.
the wide-fung colonies OF Britain
from Japan. 1t means that Russian
armies will continue to come, wave
on wave, upon her eastern border
and wave on wave across the sea
into France.
Like the dog of the Dekkan, Of
which Kipling wrote, the vast re
sources of the allies have bound
themselves in a blood oath to gC
straight forward, cost what it may
to clean up and sweep clear the
country through which they run.
Against this solemn assertion Ger
many can oppose only her own NIGH
of arms. To render it futile, she cal
look only to her fleet, and that ii
admittedly inferior in numbers am
armament, If not morale, to that o
Britain. Against it, all the diplo
matte plotting in the world will no
avail. The winning of Turkey viii
mean the firing of Greece and o
: Italy Probably the agreement itsel
was partially designed as a warnin
to Turkey, but the compact stands
Only its fleet, with a hopeless rbattl
before it, stands in the way of tn
ruthless isolation OF Germany and O
Austria.
1T is the most dramatic thing @
the War-this oath thar might hav
marked a Corsfcan blood-feud or
gunmen's meeting, to 'get" a grea
! nation so far regal in it's success, bu
as impotent as successful.

CREW Of WARSH|PS
TO GET FAT REWARD
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The men of the
warships which captured the German
barques Goldbeck and Perkeo will have
about nineteen thousand pounds, or
$4,000, to divide among them from
the sale of these vessels which were
recently put up at auction. The Per
keo went to a Norwegian bidder at
$4,000. The Goldbek passed to an
other Norwegian firm at the price OF
the price of $64,5OO.
The sale of the Perkeo aroused in
terest because she is the largest sail
ing vessel afioat. She can load near
ly 5000 tons of cargo. She was launch
ed under British registry on the
Clyde in 1901, was first known as the
Brilliant. Shortly before the out
break of the war she was sold to the
"P" Line of clippers of Hamburg, and
Captain Nissen was placed in COM
mand.
Captain Nissen was skipper of the
famous five-master barque Preussen,
which was wrecked in storm off Do
yer three years ago, when the officers
and crew acted with such gallantry
that the Kaiser sent a congratulatory
telegram.
The Perkeo was despatched by her
new German owners to New York on
her first trip, but was intercepted off
Dover on August 5. by H. M. S. Zulu
Captain Nissen, in sight of the spot
where his old charge, the Preussen
left her bones, endeavored to escape
by hosting the union jack. But he
ran up the true colors when shot
pierced her foresail.
