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.

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. Newnan, Ga., Dec. 9th. She—“The minister is very broad in his views.’’ He—“Yes, and as long as he is broad.” » Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the Heat of the diHeane.

GEORGIA-Coweta County: Notice is hereby given to all creditors of the < Senoia Notes. 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. tate of Richard Page, late of .said county, de ed, to render in an account of their demands to me within the time prescribed by law, properly made out; and all persons indebted to said de ceased are hereby requested to make immediate payment to the undersigned.

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.
