BRANTLEY OFF
TO WASHINGTON
Congressman Leaves To
night to Attend Special
Session
LI FILE W ORK SCHEDULDE
Our Representative Talks Interesting
ly of Work to be Done by Spec
ial Session—He is After
Appropriations.
Congressman W. G. Brantley will
leave tonight for Washington to attend
the special sossioin of congress, which
will convene Monday. Mr. Brantley
was seem by a representative of the
News yesterday in his office and he
talked quite interestingly of the work
to be done. Amdnlg other things, Mr.
Brantley said:
"The extra session convenes next
Monday.
,‘Tlie president ini his call limits the
work of the session to the Cuban re
ciprocity treaty. So far as the house
is concerned, I look to see the work
limited to the one thing. The speak
er will so limit by appointing, commit
let's. In tho senate, however, where
the committees stand over from ses
sion to session, other matters may be
considered.
“The reciprocity treaty ought, in
my opinioins be ratified. In addition
to the justice it does, its ratification,
1 believe, will be beneficial to the
south. In the matter of cotton goods
alone, the statement is made that the
preference showini American goods un
der this treaty, as against foreign cot
ton goods, will increase the cotton
exports of the United States to Cuba
at least $6,000,000 per year.
"1 presume the extra session will
last until the regular session begins
on, the first Monday in December. In
the regular session the republicans
will enact as little legislation as pos
sible. This will be the last session of
congress before the presidential elec
tion of 1901, and partisan, advantage
will be played for. There will hardly
be any legislation affecting the cur
rency of tariff. 1 look to see only
routine matters of legislation atteni
ded to.
"1 have heard .some talk of there
being mini river and harbor legislation,
but i iouk to see tee river and har
bor bill passed. The demand for it
1 think will be too great to he resis
ted.
“Brunswick, I fear, will not get very
much i the hill although I do not
know what the engineers have rec
ommended. The $-10,006 appropriation
in the last bill to obtain an additional
foot of water on our outer bar has
never be-oin expended. The engineers
iiave been waiting for the use of the
bridge boat, Cumberland, but I am
not advised when they expect to put
it on our liar. The $125,000 appro
priated fur our ininer harbor in the
last hill has not as yet been all ex
pended.
' “There .should ho an additional ap
propriation for Jekyl creek and Clubb
and Plantation creeks should he con
nected by a canal so as to furnish
an inside passage from, our harbor to
the Altamabia river. 1 hope for satis
factory appropriations foir the Altama
ha river, lor the Oconee and Oeumul
gec rivers, ami a sufficient amount
lor file further improvement and
maintenance of our inner harbor.
“1 Uo;>e congress will furnish an ad
ditional appropriation lor the further
experiments in the manufacture ol
syrup at Waycroes, and i shall also
ask for an appropriation for the spec
ial study of sea island cotton in our
section. The tlisease attacking the
sea island cotton in this section pre
sents a very serious question, and un
less some remedy is found for them,
t.he sea island cotton industry win go
down. Many of the farmers are al
ready discouraged.
“Valdost is entitled! to a public
building for the accomodation of the
federal court at that point, and if
any public building legislation is en
acted, I expect to see Valdosta get a
building.
“I suppose we will have confiid
erab.le' taM; this winter about the
next democratic nominee for presi
dent, and plans for the campaign for
next year will he laid. The general
opinion now seems to he that we must
nominate some man who has the con
fidence of the east ainid who can carry
sufficient electorial votes in that sec
tion, to win. Gorman, Parker, and Ol
uey are the names most talked of.
If Maryland goes democratic, Gor
man will become a formidable caodi-
* REGISTRARS
HAVE BEEN NAMED
And Both of them Repre=
smi t Good Govern
ment Club
E. C. CUTIS AND W. R. COX
Judge Dart Will Appoint the Third
Member Today and the Work of
Canvassing Registration List
Will Begin at Once.
Tv/o( of the three registrars to can
vass the registration of the city for
the municipal election were named
yesterday, one by Judge T. A Parker,
of the superior court, and one by the
city council, at a session hold yester
day afternoon. W. R. Coix was named
by council and E. C. Butts by Judge
Parker. There is one more to be set
ected by Ordinary Horace Dart, and
he will annlounce his appointment this
morning and it is understood that the
board will at once meet, organize and
prepare for work.
The two gentlemen already named
are strong sympathizers of the Good
Government club, and many unfavor
able comments were heard on the
streets yesterday as to the action
of the city council. When the scions
met they were aware of the fact that
Judge Parker had already appointee
Mr. Blutts, and it was their duty to
name, at least soime gentleman who is
neutral and who has not participated
in past political contests. But council
a majority of them being Good Gov
ernment club mem, of course, named
a strong advocate of the present ad
ministration..
It is now thought that Judge Dart
will give the Citizens club a repre
sentative on the board, or will, at
any rate, name a neutral party. It does
seem that the Citizens club should
have one of the registrars.
The work of canvassing the regis
tration will probably btegini at once,
as there are many people to appear
before the board, and will take the
registrars some time to complete the
work.
REGISTRATION LIST IN FULL
PUBLISHED ELSWHERE TODAY
Exactly 1,019 Have Qualified for the
Municipal Election.
Elswhere in, the News this morning
appears the registration in full for
the coming municipal election.
The list show's that exactly 1,019

(his number 829 are whites and 190
eoilored. This is a considerable in
crease over last year, as only 820
were on the list after the ,egistrars
had finished their work. It is believ
ed that at least 75 or 100 will be added
by the registrars this year.
