(By Associated Press.1
London, Qctobej; G. r -An ofTical dis
patch received here says that King
nstantirte of Greece has accepted
the resignation of the Venizelos cah
The cabinet was unable to agree
with the king concerning the coun
trys next atep in the Balkan crisis.
Its retirement was unheralded follow
ing a vote of confidence in the min
istry by the chamber of deputies.
Telegrams to the Greek legation
here said that Premier Venizelos re
linquished his office ut 0:30 o’clock
last night. No reasons were given.
A former clash in opinion between the
king and Venizelos, resulting in the
latter’s temporary retirement, left
little d'olibt that the present instance
involves the familiar issue raised by
Venizelos that Greece strike quickly in
behalf of Serbia and the entente
allies.
It seems certain that Bulgaria will
join Germany, Austria and Turkey.
The matter was doubtless brought to
a head by the landing of troops of
the allies at Saloniki. This is re
garded as in effect placing Greece
definitely oh the side of the entente
allies. She has virtually acqtiiescec
in a counter move against Bulgaria.
If Bulgaria enters the war the war
on the side of Germany she enters
under less favorable conditions than
a few weeks ago.
The Russians, reinforced with n
gradually increasing amount of artil
lory, seem striking daily harder
blows. German official statements no
longer register measurable advances.
The .western situation has reached
a stage of renewal of preparations
after the recent allied offensive. The
Germans are struggling to regain the
ground lost. Intense artillery action
is predominant on the French front,
indicating preparations for another
attack.

BROUGHT HIGH PRICE
Nashville, Ga., October 6.—Sea is
land cotton sold at 26 1^8 cents here
yesterday and cotton ssffd at |37 per
in shun
ton. Cotton U here
undance.
Yesterday being the regular public
ale day before the court-house door
for real estate offered at sheriff’s ad
ministrators and executors sales, quite
a nice crowd gathered at the time and
place and when Deputy Sheriff Han
cock called time, tne bidding started
off at a lively clip demonstrating the
fact that Clarke county land was in
good demand and that the price had
not been lowered on account of the
European war. ">*
As a sample of the prevailing land
values fn this county, on yesterday
there was put up for sale td the high
est bidder for cash, by the adminis
trator of J. D. Williams, deceased,
46.80 acres of ordinarily improved
farming land and closed out to the
highest bidder at a little the rise Of
'940 per acre. : , 1
The grading and improving of the
public roads of the county; the replac
ing of worn out and delapidatdd
bridges with up-to-date structures and
the furnishing our country population
with all modem conveniences coupled
with the spirit of good fellowship ex
isting between the people of the dtp
of Athens and the eople in the rural
district, all tend towards the enhance
ment of the farming lands of tHe
county, and we here and now redid,
that the day is not far distant when
rlo farming lauds in the good old couti-
ty of Clarke can be purchased fbr leds
than one hundred dollars per acre.
Back to the farm is the slogan, and
back to the farm oor sturdy boys are
going to return.
At (he regular monthly meeting of
the city council tonight Mr, J. F;
Tibbetts, councilman from tho Fourth
Ward, will offer his resignation. to
that body. Mr. Tibbetts states that
ilia business affairs have caused him
iq give up the office. He is chairman
of the finance committee from the
council and has been very valuable in
his services on that committee.,, On
several, other committees he has al
ways done, good work.
The vacancy caused by the resigna
tion will have to be filled at the Nov
ember primary which is about aix
weeks off. It is probable that Mr.
Tibbetts, will servo irntll he has com
pleted his -work on the finance com
mittee which will be until about the
first of the year. At the polls there
will probably be a separate voting
for the man to fill the unexpired term
from the Fourth Ward.
Other important business to come,
before the, council tonight is the
question of an Incinerating plant for
Athens. This question will probably-
be decided upon favorably.
T*ho water situation of Athens will
come up for a very careful jjpnsider-
ation tonight. It it probable that the
council will considor a new policy In
regard to' (he ntnndgement of the city
waterworks, The authorities realize
that Iho public mils' In- fafcguardoil
and they are going to thrash out the
matter very carefully. j
Tho council will also probably con
firm tilt- recommendation to buy a
patrol wagon or "Baick Maria" for
tho police department. This ft some
thing that tho city has been needing
for some time.
There are alto several other mat-
ters on the calertdar to come up for
a due share of attention or the coun
cil. These matters will • make the
meeting very important to. all the
citizens of Athens.
