Battle | 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 some pretext or another, as It has already dragged along for four years, Did the* the senator from Utah will vntually All out his term. Reform Measure* Pending Two election reform measures arc pending. One provide* for publicity campaign affairs; the other prohibits potation contributions for camnnlgn 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. v hlch was pigeon-holed t:* '.Tie senate lu»t session, and it* supporters will probably And it necessary to accept some modifications In the bill before It can be posed.

Georgia’s Cotton crop WILL BE 1,400,000 BALES —8AY8 COMMISSIONER HUDSON 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, Louisiana nnd one or two other states were absent. It Is probable, however, thut some ucllon will he taken next year at the meeting In Columbia, 8. C. l T p to November 21, 1,190,627 hales of cotton jtnd been ginned in Georgia. Commissioner Hudson Is of the opinion that there Is practically no cotton In the fields arid that the staple has'been 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.
