Another reason hla visit to Georgia will be of Interest la that hla secretary and right-hand man, Bob Adamson, la a former Georgian and a former Atlanta newspaper man. Mayor Gaynor will be In Augusta shortly, and It Is hoped, will also vis it other Georgia cities, though no definite Information has yet been obtainable about hla Itinerary. Bob Adamson has thus far been the man through whose eyes south erners have seen Mayor Gaynor. AdamBon says the mayor Is not a Now Yorker, strictly speaking, but Rube” according to tho strict New York classification, in New York "Rube" means anybody reald. lng outside the Metropolitan xono, not necessarily a person with bay- seed in hla hair. But Mayor Gaynor, according to Adamson, has a mora definite and honorable title to the appelatlon ot Rube than the mere fact that he wasn't born In New York. William J. Gaynor la a farm-bred country boy, and la atlll & practical farmer, at least Bo)i Adamson sliys so, and When Jlawr York’s mayor comes to Georgia he will probably be, aa much Interested in the aouth's agriculture as in any other thing he sees.
