The answer to this question has 1 finally been learned and we shall pass it on to you.

Judge Adamson \\*as congressman from the fourth dis trict for twenty years. He was prom inent during Wilson’s administration, serving on the ways and means com mittee. Clifton Mandeville, who was the father of the present Mr. Mande villc, had a daughter named Eugenia. Mr. Mandeville was treasurer of the old A. & M. school until the time of his death.
