WILL BE NO SESSION
 OF LEGISLATURE
The Governor of Georgia Will Not Call the Solons Together
 at This Time

Atlanta. october 17.-(Special )--There will be no extraordinary session of the Georgia legislature this fall for any pur- pose, so far as can be seen now; and can didates for legislative offices who have been hustling around in anticipation of it now have opportunity for long period of rest, if one of some anxiety, for there is no Likelihood of a meeting until the regular date next summer prescribed by law.
 Governor Slaton very ably and diplomat ically disposed of the Western and At lantic railroad problem by inducing the at torneys representing the petitioners for charter for the North Georgia Mineral railroad, supposedly the Louisville and Nashvilles proposed extension from Car tersvlle to Atlanta, not to press their charter application until after the legis- la ture meets in regular session next sum- mer. This has eliminated all necessity for an extra session on account of the states railroad.
 As to the cotton problem, Governor Slaton has announced that he would not call an extra session for that purpose, as he does not see where any good can be accomplished by it under the plans which have been so far suggested.
