Adamson to Get Important Chairmanship Georgia is positively assured of three chairmanships in the Sixty second Congress, and possibly more, as a result of the recent landslide that placed the Democrats in com plete control of the Lower House. Congressmen Adamson, Bartlett and Hardwick will certainly pluck plums in the organization, and it is not inprobable that Congressmen Brantley, Bell and Lee will land chairmanship, Congressmen Lee, Edwards, Hughes, Roddenberry and and the newly-elected members; Schley Howard and Tribble, will be well cared for in the matter of com mittees. Judge Adamson, who lives in Commerce carries with it some de sirable patronage that is controlled by the chairman. There is a com mittee clerk, besides the stenogra pher, messengers and door-keepers. The clerkship pays at least $2,200 per year, and the assistant's place is worth nearly as much.—Atlanta Journal Will Promote Beauty woman desiring beauty get won derful hely from Buckien’s Arnica Salve.
