THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 11 REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION NEWS 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.

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.

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.
