NEWS OF THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1911
MILLION DOLLAR LAND
COMPANY ORGANIZED
Union City, Ga.—A land company,
with a capital of $1,000,000. wu or
ganised here Tuesday under the name
of Greater Georgia Development Com
pany, for the purpose of developing and
advertising the resources of the state
and South. This company has already
bought about 900 resident and business
lots in Union City, a progressive town
only seventeen miles from Atlanta, hav
ing fine railroad connections, being on
both the Atlanta. Birmingham and At
lantic and the Atlanta and West Point
railroads, and on the street car line
running from Atlanta thru Union City
to Fairburn.
It is now being planned to make a
lake of fifteen or twenty acres in a
beautiful grove, build a fine hotel and
make it a place of resort for summer
picnics and any who desire to spend
a few weeks in a beautiful, quiet place.
The company will have a permanent
exhibition of the products from the dlfl
ferent counties in Georgia in a building
in Atlanta. Cincinnati and Chicago.
What this exhibit will do has been
recently demonstrated by the exhibit of
the products from some of the coun
ties of Georgia in the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic office in Atlanta.
All the railroads are enthusiastic and
have promised to co-operate in every
way possible.
Charges of Immorality.
Washington.—Making charges of im
morality against their pastor. Rev. John
Richards, the deacons and trustees of
Hoboch Baptist church today filed suit
in the District supreme court for an
Injunction restraining Richards and his
friefids from interfering with the af
fairs of the church.
Confer About Reciprocity.
Washington.—President Thos. Car-
roll. of the Board of Trade of Glouces
ter, Mass., reached Washington today
and conferred with Senator Lodge and
Representative Gardner over the terms
of the Canadian reciprocity treaty,
which, it is feared, will greatly injure
the New England fish industry.
Pan-American Conference.
Washington.—The program for the
formal opening of the Pan-American
Union conference, to be held in Wi
lngton February 13 to 18, was an
nounced today. The speakers include
President Taft, Secretary Knox, Sena
tor Root. Speaker-elect Champ Clark.
President J. H. Farrell, of the United
States Steel Corporation, and many
Latin American diplomatic representa
tives.
TARIFF AGREEMENT WITH
CANADA TO BE ANNOUNCED
Washington.—The announcement of
the new tariff agreement with Canada
was awaited with the greatest anxiety
by legislative leaders in Washington.
The agreement will be known simul
taneously here'and at Ottawa at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
It is regarded as one of the most Im
portant acts in President Taft's career
a* president, involving the international
relations of the United States and over
shadowing everything else before the
national legislature today. It was re
ported here today that prompt adoption
of the agreement would be asked by the
presidential message accompanying the
agreement to congress, as he hastened
the negotiations for that purpose.
There was & great deal of discussion
among congressmen as to what the
agreement contained. It may be that
some of the schedules will arouse a
storm of protest and call down upon
President Taft's head the anger of some
members of both the Republican and
Democratic parties.
In each case the agreement will be
accompanied by detailed statements of
the precise effect of the changes recom
mended in the existing tariff law. with
comparisons of the existing and pro
jected rates.
Absolute silence is maintained by the
officials here as to the nature of these
changes, but there is reason to believe
that they are sure of approval in at
least one quarter—that is, by the Amer
ican publishers and consumers of print
paper.

walk of at least 137 miles, Minnie, a big
