Calla way of Augusta and other buslnscs men of the state called upon Gov. Slaton yesterday and urged hiip to call the Legislature In extraordinary session to consider the situation brought about by the European war and the depression of the price of cotton. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerc) following the meeting of tho South era cotton and food conference held here this week, wired the various gov ernors of the cotton states urging them to take action along similar lines. In those telegrams they were asked the question whether in their opinion their states would enact somi uniform law looking to the reduction of cotton acreage 50 per cent next year. A reply was received from Gov Colquitt yesterday In which he stated that he had presented to the Texas Legislature a message on the ques tion of reducing cotton production next year along the lines suggested. Gov. Colquitt said he hoped "you will Induce the Governor of Georgia aad other cotton growing states to con rent their legislatures for similar ac- • * • rf « GEORGIA, WARE COUNTY: Under and by virtue of an order granted on the 7th day of October, A D., 1914, by the Hon.

The Foreign Office again immediate ly protested to the Japanese legation demanding the withdrawal of the Jap anese troops. However, despite the ultimatum- like character of the Chinese note, it is admitted China does not intend to fight. It also is announced that at the solicitation of the government, which feared otherwise the situation with Japan would be further com plicated, the Germans have not ful filled their threat to dynamite the bridges. They had anounced that this would be done unless China com pelled the Japanese to withdraw from the railway. Meantime the Japanese are preparing to reopen traffic on the road. Intense Antagonism. The feeling hero against the Jap anese Is becoming Intense. The pa pers publish accounts of this alleged misbehavior with characteristic ex aggeration! ij An American missionary at Wei Hsien telegraphs that 300 Japanese had arrived there by the third day of occupation and that on the fourth day of occupation all but thirty of spldlefs proceeded westward without having molested the inhab itants. Supplies Paid for. From other missionaries and cor respondents come reports of such cases of wrong doing as might be ex pected from a few In an army 30,000 strong. The trouble usually results from the Japanese system of drawing .upon the natives for commissary re qutrements. Chinese communities are compell ed to meet quickly large and unusual demands In the way of supplies for churches and general welfare of the community. They move frequently; they do not remain on the farm long enough to get the best results from It; consequently they are usually !q a poor financial condition."

" ‘ he V ° ,0r * “ * 1,C " 0 “ *° * Boardman, chairman of the national relief committee of the American Red Cross, announced today that the Red Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 8.—The committee appointed Monday by the Southeastern Food Crops Conference to carry out the plane adopted by the conference is rushing the work to put into effect, In each of the cotton states, the intensely practical plans for cutting cotton acre age/ substituting food crops and ar ranging for cash markets for the new products. C. J. Haden, chairman of this com mittee, and president of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, said today: "The people of all the cotton-grow ing states will.be urged to assemble at 10 a. m., Saturday, October 17th, at the county seats, or the most conven ient meeting points in each county, and take action to have special ses sions of the state legislatures called at once to reduce cotton acreage for next year to one-half that planted in 1914. Also, these mass meetings are Expected to prepare a second line of defense by organizing county associa tions of farmers, Incorporated by law, according to the “Lee county plan, 1 which has been approved generally In Georgia, so that the mutual contracts between farmers will be on the same business-like and legal basla as agree ment# between stockholders in other corporations, and in the same degree enforceable In law. "With these associations formed, the efforts of farmers to reduce cotton acreage will be on a sound business basis, the lack of which has caused ^the failure of all mutual agreements in the past. The first effort will be to secure the enactment of laws reducing the cotton acreage, but if the laws do not pass, this second line of defense will prove effective. “Many able lawyers say that such action of the states will be perfectly legal under the ’General Welfare' clauses of the constitutions." It was the concensus of opinion in the Southeastern Food Crops Confer ence that the quickest and most ef fective way to secure, at same time in all the cotton states, legislation and the permanent organizations to rein force the law and see to the enforce ment of its provisions was to call county meetings to ask the legislature for action, In recognition of the dis astrous effects on the South of fur ther delay. The time la short In which to se cure the action of all the hundreds of counties, but the committee expects to give the call such great publicity, by the cordially co-operating newspapers of the South, that the response will be practically spontaneous, and that every county will hare a mass meeting on Saturday, October 17th, and pass resolutions asking the governors to call the extra sessions of the legisla tures, and that the meetings will then proceed to form associations of farm ers, to be Incorporated in accordance with the "Lee County Plan” In order In the cotton states to concentrate their work on other crops than cotton, and asking the trustees of state col leges of agriculture to devote all funds including the 10,000 apportioned to each state by the Smith-Lever bill, at their disposal in 1916, to organization, instruction and direct aid of farmers toward the production of other crops than cotton. ~ .

C. t Oct. 8.—An offi cial of the Federal census bureau, ta discussing the report recently issued by the government, dealing with the term of occupancy of farms in the United Statqs, said: This frequency of moving from farm to farm, or Instability of occu pancy, very likely, forms one of the chief causes for the decline of rural prosperity, or is a hindrance to great er progress. Frequency of removal of farmers results In general shiftless ness; the roads and bridges are gen erally in a poor condition because the farmers, moving at frequent periods, are not particularly interested In elr upkeep. Farm buildings of such farms are not usually kept In good re pair. as the farmer who la about to move win leave the repairs for the next tenant to make. The same reason will apply for lack of Interest by the "unstable” farmer In the schools, the Japanese, but according to sev eral reports they are paid more than the market price for them by arm)-. On the other hand, it is said occasionally individual cases of plun dering the ‘farmers and abuse women sre reported. Washington, D.
