CONGRESS CON VENES.
CongreHs convened Monday, and. as
is customary on the first day, adjourned
after a brief session.
Upon reassembling Tuesday the
President’s message was read in both
Houses. It is quite a lengthy docu
ment, containing upwards of 15,000
words, and of course only a mere synop
sis of the more important points touched
upon is possible within our limited
space. Some of the measures and
projects recommended by the President
are summarized below
A ship subsidy to encourage Ameri
can shipping.
Publicity of political contributions
in elections of members of Congress.
Civil pensions.
Higher rate of postage on periodicals
and magazines.
A fund of $50,000 to aid in suppress
ing the “white slave’’ trade.
A commission to evolve a plan to ex
pedite legal procedure and mitigate
the "law’s delays.’’
Construction of an artificial island
and fortification at the entrance to
Chesapeake Pay; two battleships and
one repair ship for the navy, and the
establishment of an extensive naval
base at Pearl Island, Hawaii.
A national bureau of healLh.
Statehood for New Mexico and Ari
zona, and an appointive governor and
executive council for Alaska.
Celebration in 1918 of the semi-cen
tennial of negro emancipation, and re
imbursement of the depositors of the
‘defunct Freedman’s Trust and Savings
’ Company.
Consolidation of the Bureaus of
Manufactures and Statistics in the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
A large number of bills have been
introduced since the session opened,
and the calendar is growing each day.
THE SOUTH'S RESOURCES.
According to the Manufacturers’
Record the South’s cotton crop this
season will be worth not far from $1,-
(100,000,000, or twice as much as the
output of all the gold mines of the
world for the same year.
The South is producing 800,000,000
bushels of grain a year.
The total value of the agricultural
products of the South this year will be
$2,400,000,000, which is equal to the
total of the agricultural output of the
United States in 1890, when the popu
lation of the country was 68,000,000,
while the population of the South at
present Is 27,500,000.
The South has 62,000 square miles
•if bituminous coal lands, as against 17,-
■000 in Great Britain, Germany, France
and Australia combined. It is now
mining over 90,000,000 tons of bitumi
nous coal a year, as compared with 42,-
000,000 tons, the entire output of the
United States in 18S0.
According to official records the
South has more iron ore than foreign
experts claim for all of Europe.
Southern cotton mills are now con
suming 2,300,000 bales of cotton a
year, or us much as all other mills in
the United States are consuming of
■Southern grown cotton.
This is the mandate of Bishop Hen
drix. It was delivered in person by the
bishop to Dr. Bigham, and closes the
incident as to whether or not Dr. Big
ham would be released from the New-
nan church or would serve as appointed.
The announcement of the bishop’s fi
nal decision is furnished by Dr. Bigham,
who arrived in Atlanta Monday morn
ing. Dr. Bigham left Atlanta Thurs
day afternoon for Searcy, Ark., to have
a personal conference with the bishop.
Immediately upon his return to Atlanta
Dr. Bigham gave out the result of his
interview with the bishop.
Dr. Bigham states his reasons at
length for asking to be relieved of the
Newnan charge, and goes more fully
into the controversy than upon any pre
vious occasion.
Dr. Bigham’s statement in full fol
lows:
“I have been out in Searcy, Ark., to
see Bishop Hendrix, who is holding the
White River Conference there. I went
out, not to ask him to give me any ap
pointment, but to ask him, as 1 had
telegraphed him before I left Atlanta,
to release me from the Newnan ap
pointment, for reasons which have been
stated heretofore in the Atlanta papers.
“1 have a great many friends that I
fondly love in Newnan, among all de
nominations, but J have thought from
the first that I ought not to be sent
back there, because they had had a new
appointment, and I had been removed
and they were taking steps by corres
pondence and otherwise with their new
pastor, and I thought that appointment
ought to remain res adjudicata.
“Ilesaid that he would notreleascme
from Newnan. I told him I was willing
to take any appointment in the confer
ence instead, but he replied to me:
“‘Newnan is your charge; go there
and do your duty.’
“I suggested to him several changes
which might be made, everyone of them
to my disadvantage. But he did not
know about the points 1 suggested, and
1 could not assure him that the breth
ren would themselves be agreeable,
even though it would increase their
salaries.
“He seemed to have his mind posi
tively made up. He said that there was
such an uprising in Atlanta, both among
preachers and laymen, as would make
it impossible for me to do the work of
the district to the best advantage; that
he knew I would be at such a disadvan
tage as would disqualify me for taking
up the work of the Atlanta district. I
desire to say to the public that how
great an uprising there really was
among preachers and laymen will be
stated later by myself, and many
friends for me in this city.
“Under the Methodist system 1 am
obliged to go back to Newnan, and I go
with a very great deal of pleasure un
der the circumstances. I did not orig
inally ask to be relieved of the Newnan
charge, and 1 wish to repeat my fond
ness for the entire town, and my church
particularly. I only resisted, as far as
1 could courteously do so, because I did
not think that after the trouble at St.
John’s and in the Atlanta district.it
was fair to me or to Newnan to send
me back to that charge.
“Please permit me to express my ap
preciation to the thousands of friends 1
have in Atlanta and throughout Georgia
who have written and telegraphed me
congratulations, first, in the case of my
St. John’s appointment, and afterwards
when 1 was appointed to the Atlanta
district.
“1 have been quiet and courteous for
four or live years. 1 mean still to pre
serve what every gentleman preserves
a spirit of kindness—but 1 snail, if it
seems advisable to me later, present
some facts touching me for the last
three or four years, on which 1 have
never yet made any statement to the
public. ’’
Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our thanks and
appreciation of the many acts of kind
ness shown us in the great sorrow that
recently came into our home in the
death of a loving husband and uncle.
These gentle ministrations of love were
as rifts in the dark clouds, and will
long abide in sweetest memory. May
God’s richest blessings rest upon each
and all, is our prayer.
Mrs. Carrie H. Sponcler,
Miss Pearl Hughie.

Notice to Debtors and Creditors.
GEORGIA-Coweta County:
Notice is hereby given to all creditors of the <

According to estimates made l>y Pen-
■Mon Commissioner J. VV. Lindsey, the
pension rolls for 1910 will be increased
by 914 new names and decreased by
1,127 deaths. This means, therefore,
that there will be a net loss of about
218Aames from the pension rolls for
next year. In 1909 the Commissioner
paid pensioners in the four classes the
sum of $939,010. As stated, the
pensioners for the year past
numbered 15,789. Adding to these
the new names, 914, a total of 16,703 is
shown. Commissioner Lindsey esti
mates the percentage of decrease
through death during the past year at
6J per cent. By close observation he
has noted that the death-rate among
pensioners increases about one-fourth of
l per cent, each year. The pensions
paid vary from $5 to $150, but the gen
eral average runs about $60. The not
number of pensioners for 1910, after
adding increases and deducting estimat
ed deaths, will be 15,576. At $60 each
this will require $984,660 to pay them.

Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, 9th inst.
Mr. J. C. Drake has purchased a lot
in Union city, and in the near future
will build a residence and move to that
place.
Mr. David Hand has been night mar
shal of the city of Senoia for the past
three years, and during that time has
lost only seventeen nights olf duty.
Mr. W. VV. Banks was last week re
elected mayor of Tifton, without oppo
sition. He had served about eighteen
months in that capacity, and his re-
election shows that the people approv
ed of his administration.
Mr. Fnank Byrom, of Bethel, and
Miss Nellie Morgan, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Morgan, of Standing
Rock, were married Sunday afternoon
at the Methodist parsonage, Rev. E.
VV. Jones officiating.
The Mayor and Council have called a
Democratic primary for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Mayor and
two candidates for Couneilmen for the
city of Senoia for the years 1910-11.
This was thought best, owing to the
fact that the regular election occurs on
Christmas Day and many voters will be
out of town. The primary will be held
Friday, Dec. 17.
One of the pleasant events of the sea
son at Rocky Mount was the marriage
of Mr. Carl Hines, of near Luthersville,
and Miss Ophelia Chambless, which
happy event was solemnized last Sun
day afternoon at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Chambless.
The house was prettily decorated and a
large crowd was present. Rev. VV. A.
Davis performed the ceremony.
