| Washington, Nov. ! 27,—One* \veek
1 hence the Anal session of the fifty-
j ninth congress kill be, doing'' business
and many of the members of both
■ branches are already gathered In.
Washington in anticipation of the open-
I Ing. As a general thing the- short ses-
j slon Is neither a busy nor an Impor
tant one, but the prevailing opinion
among the legislators Is that the ap
proaching session w ill brush aside
precedent and establish a record for
the dispatch of Important business.
The president Is expected to make a
number of new recommendations In his
message, which, with the large amount
of left-over business and the appropri
ation bills, will certainly keep both
the house and the senate "oi^the jump"
to clear the decks before the congress
expires on the 4th of next March.
The Republicans feel that the
strength of the administration has been
Increased by the November elections,
which means that the president will
push ahead determinedly with the de
velopment of Ills executive and legisla
tive program.
May Ksep Hands Off.
If the president’s wishes are heeded
congress will keep Its hands off the
Cuban situation and leave the adminis
tration free to go ahead with Its pres
ent plans for the pacification bf the
Island. It Is not thought that the com
ing session will tackle the subject of
corporations, though this Is one of the
"leaders" in the president’s program.
Many of the party leaders believe it
wiser to let such an Important sub
ject ns the president's demand for a
federal license law for all corporations
doing rm Interstate business go over to
the sixtieth congress, which will have
mote time to give to the subject.
Though nothing authoritative Is to he
learned In regard to the matter. It Is
rumored that the president has been
•.von over by his advisers and will con
sent to withhold his anti-corporation
ram for a year.
the left-over business Is disposed
of‘ and the appropriation bills passed.!
the abort session will have a grad
record for industry. The sonate will
have more work than the house. It has
before It some Important treaties, and
It will, have tq'.decide what shall be
the final disposition of some Impor
tant legislation which went through the
house nt the last session and was tem
porarily pigeon-holed In senate com
mittees.
Treaties Before Senate.
e Bantu Domingo treaty, which
been tending for a year and a
half: the treaty ceding the Isle of
Pines to Cuba, which Is strongly op
posed by ftenauu* Morgan, and the
Morocco treaty arc to come before the
senate.
The further restriction of Immigra
tion Is one of the first questions oi
wintry wide Interest that will be taken
ip. Adjournment last June left* the bill
pending because the two branihes wefc
unable to agree on some of Its pro
visions. The head tax and the educa
tional test are the two points In dis
pute. It was said tot the time that the
majority feared to take final action be
cause of the effect it might have on
the coming electrons. Now that the;
elections are over there appear* to b»*;
to good reason why an agreement !
houTd not he reached and the measure
put through with little difficulty. |
The Smoot case Is hound to boh up
again and tome action probably
be taken to take Ids seat away from
the Mention senator. The chances are,
however, that the case will go

already dragged along for four years,

Reform Measure* Pending

purposes. Neither bill made much lieao.
wav during the last session, and not
withstanding that the measure has the
president’s approval, if seems doubtful
whether It gets through at this ses
sion.
strong effort Is to he made to
pull through the ship subsidy bill. This
measure was passed by the senate last
session, but was held up In the house.
The fate of the bill Is In the speaker’s
hands, and if Mr. .Cannon can be won
over the measure will become a law.
The hill lowering the duties on Phil
ippine products entering the United
Stales, popularly -known as the Phil
ippine tariff bill. Is another important
piece of "left-over" legislation. Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are
both strongly In favor of this legisla
tion, believing that U will go a long
way toward strengthening '.be faith of
the Filipinos in the good 'mentions of
the United States. The trlst* have put
up bitter opposition to tlx^measure.

some modifications In the bill before

Approved by President.
Senator l.a Foils tie's bill limiting the j
•irking hours of railroad employee* t
will come up for a vote In January.
This measure has the approval-of the
president and It Is probable that It
may hr- enacted at the present ses-
sfen.
Among the other unfinished pieces I
of legislation that will be pressing for*
consideration are the Fcraker bill, to]
make Port«» Rican* citizens of the!
United States, the bills for copyright *

utes. a hi»i providing for a cable toi

MATTERS TO RECEIVE. ATTENTION

subject* to be taken up. • *
A measure limiting the working hours of railway employeea.
The cane of Serfator Smoot, of Utah. probably will be disposed of.
Two'election reform measures, one providing for publicity In cam
paign affairs and the other prohibiting corporation campaign contribu
tions, are awaiting consideration.
The ship subsidy bill to reduce the tariff on Philippine products en
tering the United State*, the Chinese exclusion law. the antl-Injunctlon
bill and the eight-hour lnw are other important left-over matters that will
receive the attention of the -short session If time permits.

Georgia’s Cotton crop
WILL BE 1,400,000 BALES

VC m rglu will not produce over 1,500,-
000 bales of cotton this year, and It Is
my judgment that It will nut he much
over 1,400.000." .
This is a statement made by Agricul
tural Commissioner Hudson while talk
ing of the recent meeting of commis
sioners in Jacksonville and the dis
cussion there of the advisability of
leaving off crop estimates at the an
nual meetings.
No estimate was made this year, hut
because the commissioner* from Texas,

were absent. It Is probable, however,

The Modern Way
to Sell Goods
Trade conditions are changing mightily from the old
ways. It used to be that the retail salesman had to do a
lot of introductory and eduoational work—-had to spend
muoh time showing various goods and explaining their
merits. Now all this preliminary work is done before
the customer goes to the store done by advertising.
Staples of high quality, as well as novelties, are adver
tised by- name, brand or trade-mark, their uses and
merits are made known through newspapers, and the
consumer is thoroughly familiar with their value and
desirability when the need for them arises.
And people buy the goods they know by name and
reputation in preference to unknown, unadvertised arti
cles. The dealer finds them easier to sell, therefore the
jobber has a better demand for them. Thus .the manu
facturer who advertises his wares to the consumer creates
a demand that the dealer and jobber must supply with
his goods and no other.
The manufacturer who uses this newspaper reaches
the best consumers in this locality, reaches them when
they have time to consider his claims for their patronage
and reaches thim through a medium that helps him with
its own influence. The Massengalc Advertising Agency,
of Atlanta, Ga., can help any manufacturer in the prepa
ration and placing of convincing advertising matter.
