THE BATTLE AUTUMN

What means the gladness of the plain, This joy of eve and morn. The mirth that shakes the beard of
 grain
 And yellow locks of corn? An, eyes may we'll be full of tears, And hearts with hate are hot, But even-paced come round the years And nature changes not. She meets with smiles our bitter grief With songs our groans of pain; She mocks with tint of flower and leaf The warfield's crimson stain. Still, in the cannon's pause, we hear Her sweet thanksgiving psalm; Too near to God to doubt or fear, She shares the eternal calm. She knows the seed lies safe below The fires that blast and burn; For all the terror of blood We SOW, She waits the rich return. She seeks with clearer eye than ours The good of suffering born The hearts that blossom like her
 flowers,
 And ripen like her corn.  %, give to us, in times like these, The vision of her eyes; And make her fields and fruited trees Our golden propheciesl TO, give to us her finer ear.
 Above this stormy din, We, too, would hear the bells of cheer Ring peace and freedom in

lasting benefit. The surplus must be retired and it should never leave the control of the growers
 First Business of Company
 ''The first business of the Company when the initial capital has been sub scribed will be to issue negotiable warehouse receipts for is stockholders against cotton held by them in storage and secure loans at reasonable rates of interest.
 "As the company grows in magni- tude and strength, it will be able to rapidly extend it's usefulness in this respect to every cotton growing coun- ty in the South.
 Later on the company will improve the cotton warehouse system all over the cotton belt, and perfect plans for advancing loans on cotton; also for handling cotton and cotton seed direct to consumers; gathering correct sta tistical data on supplies and consump- tion of cotton and stableizing the val ues of cotton and cotton seed at fair and reasonable prices to the growers.
 Eighty per cent of the capital aris- ing from subscriptions in every cotton county will be used for the benefit of the stockholders in that county, and when not so employed such funds will 1n IotNAci+oI t,, {ba looal h.,,, ,,lye +O duo, a reasonable rate of interest. In this way no county will be depleted of it's resources. Only twenty per cent will be diverted to the headquarters of the company, which will be located at New Orleans
 Each stockholder will have but one vote. This will forever prevent the control of the company getting into the hands of adverse interests. The company will be strictly cooperative in every respect and democratic in character.
 Administration of Company
 "The administration of the affairs of the company Will be Tn the hands ot a Board of Governors elected from the various cotton states by action of the local stockholders in each county.
 'This board will elect the officers of the company, all of whom must be res idents of the South and interested in the growing of cotton.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION
 DOLLAR COTTON COMPANY

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 12.-Following the recent meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton As sociation in New Orleans on November 23-4, which authorized the organiza- tion of the Cooperative Cotton Com pany, preparations have been made for this organization.
 The plans of the company. which is headed by the association, were out lined today by Harvie Jordan, presi- dent of the Southern Cotton Associa- tion, as follows:
 "The maximum capital of the the new company will be One Hundred Million Dollars, with a minimum. of One Million Dollars. The capital is to be raised among the cotton growing interests of the South, by subscrip- tions of spot cotton, out of the sur plus of the 1914 crop.
 "Shares of stock will be 5000 each No promotion stock of any kind will be issued at ten cents per pound, basis middling evidenced by approved ware house receipts.
 '"The holders of cotton in the BUY A-BALE- MOVEMENT" will be urged to take stock in the company, which will guarantee to them the full return on their investment.
 "The early retirement of a large part of the surplus of the present cot ton crop into the Cooperative Cotton Company, by the growers, will have the immediate effect of materially ad- vancing prices for that portion of the crop needed for consumption.
 By retiring the surplus and reduc- ing the cotton acreage for 1915 the proper equilibrium between supplies and consumption will develop, thereby forcing up values to fair and reason able prices to the growers.
 Company Will Solve Problem
 Positive and definite cooperation among the cotton growing interests of the South are imperative if relief is to be secured from existing financial de- pression.
 "The South must first manifest de- termined effort to help itself, before outside interests will render substan- tial aid. This fact has been complete ly verified during the past four months and the price of cotton is now lower than in August.
 Real help for Southern farmers anc allied business interests will only come as result of their own efforts. Nc kind of emergency help will be ot

With the arrest Of two negroes yes

IN Harlem for several days, delivery
men for department stores being the

Edward Wilson. Of 12l West 13jtn

Loss of European
Markets.

Panama, Sept. l5.-TravellerS reacn-
ing here from the West Coast of South
America report that the effects of the
European war arc kccnly felt in Peru
aud Northern Chill. Mining in the
great nitrate fields is practically suS-
pended owing 20 the loss of the usual
European markets. and since the nj
trate region is practically a desert, IN
capable OF supporting any other indus
try, the miners face starvation or mi
grafton as their alternatives.
The large import and export houses
al Lima and CallGo are doing very lit
lie business.
Scarcity OF gold or other suitable
circulating medium has been a diff
Guilty IN Peru. aud apparently it has
been impossible for the government TO
agree upon an adequate relief measure
that would bring better conditions. As
3 result, exchanges have Increased in
value, and it has been found necessary
TO declare a partial moratorium, which
has been EXTENDED from time TO time.
In an the west coats ports of cOnse-
quenee there arc idlc German steamers,
which previous to the European con-
diet, played an important part in the
commerce Of South America. British
steamers, which have shared with the
German companies the carrying trade
Of Western South America, still are
calling regularly at these ports, but
owing to the lack Of business are car
rying very little freight and few pas
sengers.

Deposed Head of Trust
Company Is Accused
in Writ.
ATTACHMENT LEVIED
ON OFFICE FURNITURE
Financier, Absent from His
Boarding House, Held To
Be in Hiding.

The Independent Investment Com
pany, concern organized to deal IN
second mortgages, has sworn out a
writ of attachment charging Roland
d. Croker, Newark lawyer and a
major in the New Jersey National
Guard, with being an ahsconding
debtor TO the extent of Sl7,5l5 H.
Croker was president Of the com
pany.
The news Of the writ followed close
on the report that Croker had been
deposed some time ago as q director
of the Liberty Trust Company. Of
Newark. He had been chairman of the
finance committee Of the bank.
Immediately an attachment was
levied on Crocker's Office, at 776 Broad
ST., Newark. where two safes, some
chairs and desk were all that could
be found. Croker gave some mer-
chandise as collateral for a loan he
obtained, and his creditors are now
trying to locate the security. The writ
was obtained by Howard Kinney, OF
Madison, n. j., vice-president OF the
investment company.
Agents for the company went TO
40 East Park ST., Newark, where
\
roomed for about three years. Mrs.
Charles Cameron, who conducts the
place, said she had not seen her
boarder for. a week. II is said that
Croker may he in Boston or there
abouts. lie told al acquaintance
Tuesday that he was going 10 that
city on business.
Though Mrs. Cameron said there had
been weeks at q time when he did not
appear at the boarding house, the fact
that he has not visited relatives in
East Orange. where it had been his
custom to go daily, has strengthened
the theory that he is in hiding.
Gottlieb Kaufman, chairman of the
executive committee Of the board Of
directors, said yesterday that Croker
had been out Of the bank about six
weeks. The directors asked for his
resignation after they had heard Of
financial transactions between
Croker and other persons which in
no way involved the bank" Mr.. Kautz-
man would not go into details ~ to
