Forth With Samples Of New
Spring Goods,

Travelling statesmen for the local
Wholesale houses are preparing TOT
trips on the road with brand-n7w
spring samples. In few instances
they have already gone forth, but as
a rule they will start around Decem-
Der l. Jobbing houses, in the mean
time, are fast pushing forward their
old stocks, and in a few more weeks
there won't be any of the old lines
left.
Holiday buying by merchants Is
now almost over, and where buying
continues it is largely of the odds
and ENDS variety. There is still stuffi-
cient of stock lends, however to keep
the carriers and the shipping depart
ments busy. Wholesalers are. IN
many instances, taking inventories OF
things left, but the job is not the
same that it was short while ago.
Many innovations in Atlanta made
goods are finding their way into local
lines, as well as the standard lines
that have long been carried. Manu-
facturers and jobbers and merchants
are expecting an unusually heaVy
business during the spring. Crop
money is in and the result of 1t is

age at ticket windows and accept
coupons for same. In most instances
they are in a hurry to catch trains,
and the confusion incident to gather

In its opinion the Supreme Court
holds that the ruling requiring the
pulling" OF mileage save from towns
of more than 10000 inhabitants, Is
legal and not unconstitutional.
What Roads May Do,
II also holds that the commission
has the right to regulate the handling
of mileage, Notwithstanding the fact
that II is voluntarily issued by the
roads. and at n lower rate than the
maximum rate the commission Is per
mitted to name under the law.
Justice Beck dissented from the ma
iorjty of the court, and handed down
an opinion upholdlng the view of the
minority OF the Railroad Commission,
as set forth in the original hearing.
The roads now have three courses
open to them. They may appeal the
case to the Federal Court, they may
withdraw their mileage, or they may
issue mileage good only within the
State of Georgia The Commissions
ruling does not and can not apply to
interstate business.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion recently held that the rule of the
railroads requiring mileage strips to
be exchanged for tickets Is reason
able" and that 1t can not be inter-
fered with in interstate business.
This is the view Governor Brown
took when he vetoed the legislative
act Of 1912, seeking to enact the very
order Of the Railroad Commission up
