CHARGE COTTON
COOP. BANKRUPT
_ •
Involuntary Petition Filed
Against Southern States at
Dallas. Wadley Says “Ab
surd.”
Dallas, Texas.— An involuntary peti
tion In bankrutpey was filed by cred
itors In federal court here today
against the Southern States Cotton
Corporation.
The corporation was organized un
der th* laws of Alabama with $1,000,-
000 capital. Its announced purpose
was to try to hold cotton for a uniform
price of 16 cents per pound.
Officers of the corporation are G.
D. Wadley, of Macon, Go., president:
W. B. Yeary, of Dallas, vice presi
dent, and E. T. Wadley, treasurer.
"The Southern States Cotton Cor
poration Is at present on a sound fi
nancial basis,” declared Vice President
Yeary today. "The papers filed are
absurd. The corporation Is able to pay
every cent which it owes on cotton
held according to agreements and con
tract# We are at present holding about
56,000 bales of cotton.”
The corporation’s plan waa to ad
vance money on cotton to farmers,
store this cotton until at least 16 cents
could be secured for It and then to
give the farmers notes for the dif
ference between the money advanced
and the stipulated selling price.”
The petitioners are W. D. Smith, P,
C. Wadsworth, J. M. McCoy and Mrs.
Mary V. Wadsworth, all of Dallas, who
claim various sums du* on cotton sold
to the corporation.

has aroused great satisfaction here.
"1a Naclon" today says:
"Argentina certainly will reclpro
crate by raising her legation at Wash

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, holder of
the standing broad adverb champion

Isn't. It means lambly. Just as cow

those things.

LESS HOLDINGS
BY COAST LINE
The Connecticut Corporation
Reduces Stock From $17,-
640,000 to $8,820,000.
Bridgeport, ..a special
meeting of stockholder* of the Atlan
tic Coast Lino Company of Connecti
cut her* today it was unanimously
Voted to reduce th* capital stock from
117.640,000 to ts.szo.ooo, and to distri
bute from the aseet* of th* company,
In exchange for thla reduction, about
half of Its holdings In the common
stock of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road Company. Henry Walter*, presi
dent of the company, presided and 94
per cent of the stock was represented.
The Atlantia Coaat Lin* Company
of Connecticut held common stock In
th* Atlantic fonst lAn* Railroad Com
pany last June to the amount of $36,-
072,000. Thin represented 63 per cent
of the outstanding common stock. In
addition, the company also held $157,-
000 of the railroad’s Class A stock.
Th* exchange in stocks voted today
reduces the holdings o fthe Connecti
cut company In the railroad to 27 per
cent, or less than the controlling in
terest
While no statement was made to
this effect It I* believed that th* pur
pose of today's action on the part of
the Atlantic Coast Line Company was
to comply with the expressed attitude
of federal authorities towards holding
companies of thla nature.

lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached
and 1 was always tired. 1 was hardly
able to do my housework. I had taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound on one other occasion, and It had
helped me so I took it again and it has
built me up, until now I feel like a new
woman. You have my hearty consent
to use my name and testimonial In any
