 Judge 4. P. Agee of the Calhoun county circuit court Saturday rem dered decision taking the affairs of the Prifile Cotton mills, of Jack sonville, out of the hands of the ma 5ority stoclxhe lders, c. B. Henry and W. I. Greenleaf. The court also ap- pointed J. P. Gardner, ST, manager of the Anniston Yarn mill. as re ceiver.
 The case in which Judge Agee's decision was rendered has been pend ing in the circuit and supreme courts for several years. It has been bit terly fought through several trials in this county. A supercedeas bond of s10.ooo was provided fer by the court and the majority stockh olders gave notice of an appeal to the SUI preme court The majority stock holders were represented by Knox, Acker, Sterne and Lilies, while Sid nev J. Bowie and Borden Burr of Birmingham handled the affairs for the winners In Saturdays hearing.
 These proceedings were instituted by minority stockholders some time ago, lndl liic h4aJSt ny stockholders had managed the mill in way oppressive to the minority and that the minority stockholders had been fraudulently deprived of their rights. The minority stcckhold- CTS also prayed that the corporation be dissolved and it's assets distributed among the stockholders. This ques- tion has not been settled as the case has not been given final nearing on this point.
 Company is Solvent
 Judge Agee's decisitn ordered the affairs of the corporation to be ad- ministered by a court receiver until final hearing of the application to dissolve the corporation and distrib- ute it's assets. The proceeding was not instituted by any creditor seek ing receivership cn the ground of in- solvency. On the contrary there was no question as to the solvency of the company but the litigation in volved in a dispute between two sets of stockholders, the minority stockholders prevailing in their con tention that a receiver should be ap- pointed to manage the affairs of the corporation until the question between the stockholders is finally adjudicated by the court. The case tance involving, it is claimed. be- tween s1,000,000 and s2O00,0 all stockholders being prominent busi- ness men of this section and New England.

adopted at the All.India Christian
Conference. recently held in Lahore.
copies of which have just been re-
ceived here by the American Com
mission To Promote Self-government
IN India.
While the resolutions also urge
that the non-co- operation movement
headed by Mohanias K. Gandhi be
suspended with a view to facilitating
a peaceful settlement of the Indian
question, they also urge the people
to wear only Indian-made clothing.
That is the policy urged by Gandhi
as the first step in the boycott OF
British goods. and the action OF the
conference at Lahore is the first gen.
eral Endorsement, it is said, the
Christians of India have given to
any part of Gandhi's program.
The resolutions protest against the
government policy of putting into
effect the criminal law amendment

which thousands or NationaliSts
have been arrested recently. They
also criticize the reforms scheme. put

WAR WITH JAPS
'L|v|NGTHREAT,'
OFFICIAL SAYS
Ohio Congressman Urges Pre-
paredness as Needed
Peace Insurance.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 22.-In spite Of
what was accomplished at the Wash
ington conference, war with Japan
still is a living threat, Congressman
Roy G. Fitzgerald of Ohio said last
night in an address at the banquet OF
the Association of Reserve Officers
of the United States Public Health
Service.
Congressman Fitzgerald traced the
rapid development of the Japanese
empire, a development which, he
said, could be remembered virtually
in its entirety by thousands living
today. This growth, he added. has
brought about a serious problem
which this country must face.
Some day" he said. there may
come the inevitable struggle between
these two races. 1t was probably
postponed by the Washington con.
ference, but it still is a living threat.
French army officers predicted
some time ago that a war between
Japan and the United States would
come within ten years. Before we
demonstrated our worth in the world
war IL was said we would not have a
chance in a conflict with Japan, but
now it is figured we would have an
even chance. To protect ourselves
the geratest thing we can do is build
up the manhood and womanhood Of
our country, both physically and
mentally"
Congressman Lamar Jeffries OF
Alabama said the service men,
against their will. have become a
most powerful political factor. They
expected to receive just treatment

added. and when they did not they
