S. AUTHORITIES Washington. Oct. 21.—The Federal government took another sensational and advanced step today In Its warfare against trusts. It has seized trust goods passing In Interstate traffic. Acting under orders from the attor ney general a $7,000 shipment of leaf tobacco, consigned from Durham, N. <*., to the British American Tobacco Com pany of Great Britain, was attached at Norfolk. The action has been taken by . invoking section six of the Sherman anti-trust law, which authorizes the seizure and condemnation by the gov ernment agents of property of.any trust while In Interstate or foreign commerce. This Is the first time the section has ever been enforced. The government further charges that the Brltlsh-AmerL can Company has been created as the Instrumentality and for the especial purpose of defeating and violating the laws of the United States.

COTTON IN EGYPT NOT PROGRESSIVE Only One Mill, Labor Is Scarce and Machinery Is Costly. WALTER R. MASSENGALE. He has been appointed manager of the Richmond office of the Mas- sengale Advertising Agency. Owing to the rapid growth during the past two years of the Richmond office of the Masaengale Advertising Agency, the business In this section of the South has necessitated the presence of one of the officers of the company In that city. To this end W. R. Mnssengale, secre tary of. the Masaengalo Advertising Agency, left for the Virginia metropo lis Sunday. Mr. Masaengale Is one of the best known and most popular of Atlanta's young business men, and from his very first entrance Into the commercial world has made a most enviable repu tation. Before becoming associated Washington, October 21.—Special Agent W. A. Grahain-Clark In a recent report describes the present unpro- gresslve state of Egyptian cotton mill- , ing as follows: "Cotton manufacturing Is not a very promising Industry In Egypt. There Is only one cotton mill in the coun try. The sole representative In Egypt of the world's greatest Industry Is the Anglo-Egyptlan Spinning and Weav ing Company (limited), which has 20,- 000 spindles and 500 looms, located at ; Alexandria. Until the first of this year there were two cotton mills In Egypt, but the other one, the Egyptian Cotton , Mills (limited), of Cairo, has ceased operations. "One adverse factor Is that the Eng lish government, while very friendly to cotton raising In her possessions and ] countries where her Influence Is para- j mount, Is unfriendly to cotton munu- i facturlng in those lands. The insuf- ' ficlcncy of efficient help has probably , had the largest effect In retarding the i Industry, together with the fact that first cost of the machinery and supplies are much higher than In England.” BURGLARKILLED IN HAND-TO-HAND CONFLICT IN HOUSE Special to The Georgian.
