Mountain Counties
Pay Taxes Promptly,
State Official Saws

While tax collections, generally
speaking, are slow this fall, some
Of the mountain counties are paying
up more promptly than ever, accord
ing to Comptroller General Wright.
He attributes this to the fact that
the cotton-raising counties of north
Georgia were not hit nearly so hard
by the boil weevil as the middle and
south Georgia counties. Also, many
north Georgia counties have done a

AGREE ON TREATY

LONDON. Dec. 30.--QBy he Asso
ciated Press).-It has been learned
from a reliable source, says Cen
trail News dispatch from Dublin to-
day, that at a secret meeting of the
Gail eireann leaders, representing
both the supporters and opponents
of the Anglo-Irish treaty, a compro-
mise was reached which will insure
the rati1iction of the pact.
ITO LIVES ARE LOST
IN YEAR OF WARFARE
BELFAST, Dec. 30.-The year Of
guerilla warfare in Belfast has taken
toll Of ITO lives, it was announced
here today. OF these e1even were
police. Five hundred and forty were
wounded.
STATEMENT ISSUED
BY BRITISH PREMIER
LONDON, Dec. 30-A compro-
mise between the De Valera and
Griffith factions impends in Dublin,
following the statements of Pre-
mier Lloyd Georgia, it was learned
authoritatively today.
A recognized spokesman in Irish
affairs predicted an agreement would
be reached which would assure rati-
fication of the Anglo-lrish treaty
when the dali cream reconvenes
January 3.
This substantiated the general be-
lief that growing public sentiment
in behalf of the treaty has defeated
Eamonn De Valera in his fight
against the pact. 1t has been re-
ported his leaders do not believe it
possible to closing the ratification
machinery after such definite pro-
nouncements of public opinion as
have been pouring into Sim Fem
headquarters in Dublin.
The fear has been put forward,
here, however, that the basis Of
compromise might be a slight re-
vision Of the pact.
In recognition Of this fear, Pre-
mier Lloyd George authorized the is
suance of a statement that no re-
vision-however slight-would be
tolerated, and that if the present
treaty did not prove good enough.
there would be no other.
"No British statesman could go
further than we have gone" the pre-
mier stated.
ALTERATION of the treaty either by
England or ireland would render it
null and void. This would indeed
be deplorable in the interests of
both countries.

Definite Clues Are
Expected Thursday in
Macon Death Mystery

MACON, Ga, Dec. 29.-The first
definite clue to contravert the abb
set UP by Minnie Perry and Bessie
Jones, the two women held in con-
nection with the murder Of F. P.
Armstrong, was unearthed by De
tectives Harrison and Stephens to-
day, when they found witnesses who
claimed to have seen Minnie Perry
and Armstrong together at o'clock
the evening Of the tragedy in the
Crystal safe on Cherry street.
The significance in this clue lies
in the fact that one of the women,
in a detailed statement to the de.
tectives, asserted that she left Arm
strong at o'clock Sunday night and
did not see him again.
Solicitor General Charles Garrett
will enter the case today, when it is
expected that not only the two wom-
Ell held in the case, but others who
are known to have had dealings with
the murdered man the night of his
death, will be put through a rigid
third degree. 1t is expected that
following the sweating out process
the authorities will be in possession
of facts that will greatly aid them
in clearing up obscure points in the
chain of evidence they are gradual
ly accommodating.
Minnie Perry, in her statement to
the detectives, denied all knowledge
of Armstrong; movements after she
had put him to bed in the Saratoga
hotel, until she returned there with
another girl at II o'clock and declar-
ed that both Walter Middleton, a
roomer at the hotel, and Harry
Griggs, who operates the hotel, told
her that Armstrong had jumped out
of a window.

ARMS CONFERENCE
REACHES CRISIS ON
AUXILIARY VESSELS

within themselves the means for Sc
verely furnishing violators of the reg
ulations.
A British spokesman said that on
the whole he did not believe that
the agreement already reached as to
the ratio of capital shipbuilding
would be endangered by this new
French demand.
Only two subjects remain to be
disposed of by the committee on the
limitation of naval armament before
it's agenda will be exhausted, accord
ing to the British spokesman. These
al the limitations to be imposed on
the size of auxiliary cruisers, and
the rules to be applied to airplane
carriers, in each case the purpose
being to prevent their development
into capital ships. When these mat
tiers are decided and the report
adopted by the full conference the
British believe there will be nothing
left for the conference to consider
except the Far Eastern problems the
solution of which is now suspended
pending an adjustment Of the Shan
tung question.
The plain-spoken exchange be-
tween Arthur J.. Balfour and NJ.
Sarraut, heading the French delega-
ton, over the possibilities of a fu-
ture war between France and the
British empire, following presenta-
ton Of the French program in sub
marines and auxiliary ships yester-
day, was the subject of animated
discussion everywhere in conference
circles today.
Siberian Delegation
Expressing a desire to assist the
conference in arriving at a just and
proper solution of problems involved
in Siberia, the special delegation
from the chambers of commerce
and industries of the maritime prov
ince of Siberia, now in Washington.
has addressed a letter to Secretary
Hughes as chairman of the confer.
ence recommending among other
things, that steps be taken to facili-
tate wide use of foreign capital in
development of the resources of the
region.
1.-The development of the mining
industry will make the Far. East
vast market for foreign machinery"
the report asserts, land will permit
the Far East to furnish the
world with large amounts Of oil,
iron, lead, zinc and silver. Every
inducement must be offered for the
investment of foreign capital from
the various world countries and not
from one alone"
The report further recommends
regulations by international agree
ment Of the salmon fishing industry
in Siberian waters.
"Having no colonies, Russia needs
Siberia for the migration of the sur
plus population of European Rus
STA. This migration increases in
years of fluctuating economic condi-
tons. In 1908 about 100000 people
came over the Ural mountains.
/. 1--WE urge the infallible observance
OF the agreement Of 1896 regulating
the relations between the Chinese
Eastern railway and the Chinese
government, the organization of a
combined Russian-Chinese police, the
regula ton of legal rights Of Russian
citizens in Manchuria on the basis
OF the agreement of 1896. and the
payment Of debts for transportation
Of troops and cargo for the inter-a('
lied command which amounts to
some 100000 rubles."

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Scat tering long
