Administration Not to Ask Meas
ures Which Might Injure
Business in Any Way.
County Board Plans
Much Work in 1914
Shelby Smith or S. B. Turman Lead
for Chairman—Laying Plans for
Annual Realty Feast.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Presi-
:ent Wilson will read to Congress
within a few days after the holiday
recess a message urging “construct
ive" anti-trust legislation, according
t.> assurances given in high Admin-
ration circles to-day.
Attorney General McReynolds is
accredited in high Administration cir
cles with having won his contest
against the enactment of any radical
program for trust regulation such as
proposed in various trade commission
schemes and plans for progressive
ixation of corporations.
The Attorney General's view is that
lie present anti-trust law is sutti-
ient. The Administration forces in
he House, however, will insist upon
.mendments to the Sherman law pe
nalizing interlocking directorates, and
'o this it is believed the President
as given his sanction.
The impression prevails here, how-
■ver, that no measure which would in
my way hurt any business will gain
favor at the Administration's hands.
To Revise Rates of
7 Georgia Points
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Because
of confusion over rate adjustments
from Vienna, Douglas, Montezuma.
Pelham, Camilla, LaGrange and Syl
vester, Ga., to outside points, the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
decided to completely revise rates for
those points.
The commission some time ago is
sued an order changing these rates,
but it resulted in such uncertainty
because of the long and short haul
provisions of the commerce act that
me commisisori suspended this order
and decided to make a new investi
gation. *
Co-Eds Unite Against
Men’s Bad Manners
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.—An or
ganization “for the suppression of
atrocious manners of men” has been
organized by young women at Butler
<’ollege. Men of the college are re
ferred to as “rude, ungentlemanly,
careless and thoughtless.” A letter in
the college paper says:
“The insults of having a man
smoke without asking permission, the
ugly familiarity of having him blow
smoke in the girl’s face, are sights
'hat we see too often.”
Even greater improvements in the
. roads and streets of Fulton County
I and Atlanta than were undertaken !n
1913 are being planned for 1914 by the
1 members of the Board of County
Commissioners.
The board has arranged to meet
January 8 to reorganize and to out
line the work for 1914. Shelby Smit-i
is preparing ihs report of the 1913
program and states that it will be
by far the best ever submitted a
board in the history of the county.
Who the new officers will be is un- {
certain, but several have been men
tioned for the chairmanship. Among
these are Shelby Smith, the present
chairman, and B. Turman, of Tur
man, Black & Calhoun.
Preparing for Banquet.
J. It. Smith, of the Smith & Ewing
Agency, is busy making arrangements
for the annual banquet of the Atlanta
Real Estate Board, which will
given this year at the Hotel Ansley.
I The date will be either on February
4 or February 9. depending on when
•the members of the executive corti-
[ mittee of the national organization,
j who w ill meet at Tampa, can attend.
Mr. Smith is chairman of the en
tertainment committee, and he states
i that the affair will be the biggest and
best in celebration of a most pros-
j perous year.

arm. The man stood where he was,

me say to him:
“ ‘Maybe you want next door—may
be you made a mistake in the house.’
And at that, Mrs. Barnett said, the
man sort of wilted. And he apolo

(to her surprise) that he had made a
mistake, and that he did belong next

“I want to plead for him,” she told

“My trigger finger had only the width

The Recorder was impressed with the

And Mrs. Barnett paid the fine her-

“I can’t keep from thinking of that

me from killing that man." she said.
; “And to think they were his wife and

Every Variety of
Holiday Weather.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.— Weather
of every variety except that desired

sections of the United States to-day.
It was warm and rainy on the

and upper New York, unsettled in
New England and the West reported
all temperatures from 14 below' zero
at Devils Lake. N. Dak. : to spring
weather in Kansas.
Florida was the only area running
true to form. There it was warm, the
weather bureau reporting the warm
est in the country. A 24-hour rain
and gale in Washington were like
spring weather. The telegrams from
meteorlogical observers show holi
day weather to be more varied and
unsettled over the country than for
many years previous.
Fierce Gale Does
Big Damage in N. Y.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. - A terrible gale,
accompanied by a driving rain, struck
New' York early to-day and caused
widespread damage.
Hundreds of plateglass windows were

One man was blown into the river, but

by a dense fog that darkened the city
and delayed all traffic, both surface and
elevated.

Damaged by High Sea.
SEA BRIGHT. N. J.. De< 26.—Three
men were swept to death and damage
estimated at fully $500,000 was caused
by a gale which swept along the New
Jersey coast at a rate of 90 miles an
hour to-day. hurling the sea upon
the land like a tidal wave.
In this city houses were blown
dow n or washed away. The city’s
lighting plant was put out of com

REALIZING SALES
PUTS COTTON OFF
Trading Light in Absence of Ca-
bles.—Feeling More Optimistic.
Renewed Spot Demand.
NEW YORK, Dee. 26. Trading in the
cotton market was dull at the opening
to-day in the absence of Liverpool ca
bas and first prices were 1 to 3 points
.ower than Wednesday's close. There
was some selling by New Orleans, Mem
phis and Wall street. The ring seemed
inclined to take the short side, resulting
in prices declining some 3 to 7 points
from the initial range
Later the market developed strength,
due to active buying by leading spot
houses and a wave of scattered short
covering, which was a factor in the re
covery timing the forenoon. This held
the list firm, with prices practically un
changed from the previous close.

HAVWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 26.—There
were no developments over the holidays
to directly affect the market. Financia*
organs and credit; men of prominence
generally express satisfaction over the
currency law and look for increased
trade activity and enlarged credit facili
ties.
About 2,000 January notices were is
sued here this morning and partly
stopped by exporters.
The open spot market is still cheaper
for some of the lower grades and off
qualities than the allowances quoted for
such cotton in respect to "delivery on fu
tures. A further widening in the dis
count In some of the lower grades and
In the color differences is looked for In
the next revision. The market eased
about 10 points in the early trailing on a
little selling on the January tenders, but
there was no pressure to speak of and
prices settle around 12.45 for March.
The general opinion is that naifrow
markets with a range in fluctuations of
about 30 points are likely, until more
definite Information Is obtained in re
gard to girinings during this period.
New York reports a more optimistic
fee'ing in Wall street.

A broker who has been active on the
bear side of the cotton market expresses
the opinion that the present technical
strength will result in a rise in prices.
He says that prices may sag a few
points, but believes that spinners will be
glad to buy. ami therefore look for a
more or less prolonged upward move
ment to follow. The greatest strength
In the market lies in the fact that the
cotton sold within the last few days has
gone into strong hands, namely, big spot
houses an«i spinners. The feci that
Southern spot markets have not followed
the decline also seems to Indicate that
growers have sold enough cotton to put
them on easy street, and will not sell
except at fairly attractive levels. That
is the way he dopes it.

The boll weevil will cross the Georgia
line next year is the prediction of W. J.
Harris. Director of the Census. Mr.
Harris is quoted as saying: *‘I am get
ting up a report now showing conditions
in the cotton States before and after
the boll weevil's coming These statis
tics show how land values and cotton
production dropped like leud after the
weevil's Invasion. The same figures
show the leturn to normal after the
farmers learned how to deal with the
weevil.”

Expect Large Movement of Coarse
Grains Shortly—Absence of
Cables Causes Dullness.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26. Wheat opened
easier. There were no cables from
abroad and traders were without early
guidance Snows over tie West and
evenness in corn caused little selling.
Corn was easy as a result of the fore
cast of favorable weather over the belt
and prospects for larger receipts to-day.
(»ats wee r easy in sympathy with
other grains.
Provisions were firm.

par* of buyers
"Oats—The marker moves with other
grains. Speculative irterest is limited.
"Provisions—-Liquidation in Jaruai
product is still noticeable, but the in
