agreeing to postpone action on the
bill until next year.
The Senate also adopted the House
resolution providing for a commission
to investigate school book conditins
in Georgia with an amendment. A
resolution giving the Governor the
power to act in the Ducktown copper
matter was also passed, as was the
bill creating a commission form oi
government for Columbus.
Legislative Session to
End in Jollification.
Happy because it has placed the
taxation system of Georgia upon a
business basis, the General Assembly
will adjourn to-night, after 50 days
of hard work. Because of the speed
with which measures have been han
dled and the “work-together” spirit
shown by most of the members, the
Legislature probably will adjourn
without holding a night session on
the last day.
Indications are that the House will
adjourn at 5 o’clock, the regular time,
with all the business completed ex
cept the bills that have been hell
over until the next session by com
mon consent.
To-day only bills passed by* the Sen
ate and needing action by the House
to become laws w'ill be considered.
It is the intention of the Rules Com
mittee to place on the order for the
day only such bills as can be gotten
through without an extended fight.
Jollification Planned.
The members of the House, espe
cially those successful in the fight for
tax reform, are planning to close the
session with a jollification and :ong-
fest that will eclipse anything the
House has ever done. Bob Blackburn,
of Pulton County, is the big mogul of
the singing, and has been training his
choir for several days.
“’Tis the Old-Time Religion” seems
to be their favorite, and that is the
one on which the choir will depend
when the jollification over the close jf
the session begins. Parodies on the
song, ringing in such phrases as “it’s
good for Speaker Burwell” and
“’twould be good for the Rules Com
mittee,” have been prepared, and will
be sung at the final concert.
The Wednesday afternoon session
was taken up with the consideration
of two bills—the indeterminate sen
tence bill and the probation bill. Both
passed the Senate. The former, on
motion of Conner of Spalding, was
tabled by almost unanimous vote, and
is dead for the present session. It
may be resurrected and considered
when the Legislature meets again, but
there is no chance of its passing this
year.
Wohlwender Fights Bill.
The other bib, the probation
measure, giving the trial judge au
thority to nlace prisoners convicted
of misdemeanors on probation, was
passed after a hard fight. The bill
also provides for the appointment oi
county probation officers.
The fight against the bills was led
by Wohlwender o. Muscogee. He de
clared the probation bill would work
in the interests of the offender with
money and influence and against tho
poor man who has neither. Ai
amendment offered by Miller of Bibb
that the provisions of the bill should
not apply unless the defendant were
under 17 years of age was lost by a
large vote. Pickett of Terrell County
aided Wohlwender in his fight against
the bill.
Those who were active for the bill
were Nunnally of Floyd, Blackburn of
Fulton, Myrick of Chatham, Olive ;f
Richmond. Culpepner of Meriwether
and Wright of Floyd County. The
final vote on the measure was 114 to
38.
It is said a New Orleans cotton ex

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Yesterday’s cotton market was
easier, not so much on account of the
dry weather w'est as because unfavora
ble trade reports came from England.
After being fed during two years on
continuously optimistic advices from
Liverpool, the assertion made by a
prominent Liverpool merchant that
‘Manchester is dead’ must strike the
rings in a vulnerable spot.
"In so far as the weather is concerned,
the effect is by no means one-sided.
Drouth in Texas helps the bullish
cause, but splendid w’eather and im
proving prospects east of the Mississippi
River pester the bull every day.
“The fine bearish promise in the East
is marred by the generally admitted fact
that the crop is going backwards in
Texas and Oklahoma, but here a con
troversy arises. Big people claim that
serious drouth exists over only a limited
portion of Texas and Oklahoma, and
moderate crop people claim that the crop
east of the river is still small in size
and late as regards normal seasons.
Each denies the premise of the other.
Thus common ground is lacking. Mean
while, there is increasing evidence of
demand as well as of requirement, in
spite of the unfavorable reports from
Manchester, and it is said several cot
ton-laden ships will clear from Aransas
Pass during August. Yesterday Hous
ton reported actual cotton sales (spot
and to arrive) of 3,186 bales, at ll%c
for middling, while Norfolk soju 2,894
bales at ll%c, the latter a decline of
%c.”
COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Good cables
and absence of rains over the Texas
belt, except at one or two places, re
sulted in the cotton market opening
steady to-day and first prices ranged
from 1 point off to 5 points higher than
Wednesday’s final There was a little
outside support, however, and the list
being bolstered by buying from room
shorts.
This, coupled with the Government re
port on supply and distribution, which
placed the number of cotton bales con
sumed during July at 486,246 running
hales, as compared with 467,000 bales
in June. The report was considered
bullish, but failed to stimulate any
buying of consequence and the market
developed a sagging tendency after the
call, based on active selling, which was
encouraged by a New Orleans w’eather
expert prediction of rains in the west
ern belt within the next forty-eight
house. Later the selling became gen
eral and by noon the decline aggre
gated 5 to 11 points from the initial
range.
After the English market had re
ported better cables than expected, price
movement at the close showed a decline
of 2 to 3% points from the previous
close.
Ring traders are persistent bears on
the new crop positions, but they are
not heavy sellers, especially of August.
Most of them seem to be waiting rains
in the western belt before committing
themselves to any great extent to the
short side. But a w'orld of cotton will
fall upon the market if rains should
come in the west. One thing that pre
vents any material decline in prices is
that the feeling among the average
trader is to the effect that the Clarke
anti-option bill will be killed and that
nothing along that line will be done at
the present session of Congress.

CHICAGO, Aug 14.—Corn was %®% *
lower early to-day. but there was a :
strong undercurrent, and in case of the j
offerings failing to press on the market j
a reaction and advance was among the |
probabilities. While there were gains j
in many sections, the country most
needing it failed to get any moisture
whatever. The forecast is for generaally
fair and continued warm to-night and
Friday in Missouri, Kansas and Ne

Wheat was a shade better on the

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"Better things are expected of the
wheat market, and many bullish argu
ments are put forth in favor of the
maintenance of a gradual hardening of
values, although the market Is not ex
pected to run away. Traders who were
in the pit said that the pressure from
hedgers has become much lighter than
the last few days. It was largely a case
of one bull taking the place of another
in the corn market yesterday. One of
the most rampant bulls said that, while
he believes in higher prices, he expects
a choppy market for the j»resent."
