HOLD MONTHLY MEETING While there was unanimity on tariff revision, widely divergent views are held by Democratic senators on hanking reform. A strong desire for a single bank with branches, under govern ment control, instead of a regional reserve system of banks, has made its appearance in formal discussion. Other charges of a far reaching character are being suggested and it is regarded gen erally as doubtful if a bill satis factory to the Senate Banking Committee can reach the floor of the Senate before the middle of November. At the White House there is a confidence that the' bill will be passed this session, or be placed on the statute books before the first of the year. The President wanta-thorough consideration of the currency bill and any improve ment that the Senate can make upon the measure as passed by the House will be welcome. His disposition however is to strong ly oppose any undue delay. President Wilson believes a gen eral decrease in the cost of living, that will be felt by the rank and file of the country, is not along dependent on tariff revision but upon prompt reform of the na tion’s monetary of the antitrust laws. The President’s views of the effect of the tariff is in accordance with expressions from Represen tative Underwood and other dem- ocroatic leadeis that while redue tions in some cases will be im mediate, the general benefits will not at once be apparent. Even though the tariff laws might bring many imports into this country at low rates or free of duty, the evils 1 of price fixing, underselling and other discrim inations in restraint of tiade might, in the President’s opinion defeat the fruits of tariff reform Another essential to free com petition, in the President’s view is freedom of credit. With the concentration of credit in what the President described as an “inner circle” even the benefits of the trust regulation and tariff reduction can be withheld from the consumer by the stifling of enterprise. i None of the administration leaders entertain the idea that the tariff will have any adverse effect. On the o„ther hand they have pointed out that an elastic financial system is now necessary more than ever. As soon as the December ses sion opens, the adminstration will begin to center its attention on the anti-trust programme. There is no intention' at the White House to draft the administration measure. What is expected to happen is. that the members of the House Judiciary committee and the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce will confer early with President Wilson and discuss the subject informally. The President hopes that before the anti trust bill is launched there will be a common agree ment on it in the committees. SMKw ' 'Tuesday was the regular meot ing of the County Commission ers, and they had a busy day. | As usual, the bills' were piled. mountain high, and required careful auditing; and there was a bunch of other business. About the biggest undertak ing 3ince the building of the big bridge over the river near Pine Park, is now about to be under taken by the Commissioners, that of building a steel bridge across the Ochlocknee at the Walden bridge. The plans for this bridge are all perfected and the Board is at this time asking fcr bids. The plans show the latest perfection in steel bridge construction, and that the Eoard has studied well ever detail and angle of the mat ter. This bridge will cost in the neighborhood of $3,500. The county bridge gang will build the approaches, and only the steel construction work will be con tracted. The road work is progressing as fast as possible, but there are still a lot of kickers to make it interesting to those in authority. Skilled Workmnship can produce.

On September the 25th last year Gtady county had ginned 1634 bales of cotton. On Septem ber the 25th, 1913, there had been ginned in Grady county 2,760 bales. This report shows a difference of 1,226 bales in favor of this year. Now, this doesn’t mean that Grady county is making more cotton; it only means that the crop is being ginned faster than last year. The real fact is that the crop is just about out, not only in Grady couty, but through out southern and southwest Georgia. AUTRY’S SHOE Georgia.Florida Fair Valdosta, Ga.
