Collum, state senator groin .this district, passed through Am- .iiicais .yesterday on his way home to jEUarille llrom Atlanta. Seuator Col- rtcn ,wa* only able to give about tvri Alex'!, i xinto to his legislative dutier, (rat >;U steady on toe Job for the un- ^sycntti fiasrm of the late Senator. Stmslor Collum took a prominent fart in regard to one piece of local leg- totoiKm. It was through his instru- mmmtaBty that the bill providing for a Water Commission for the srw. of Amerlcus was laid on the table fa t-be Senate, after It had passed the Bmut and was regarded as assured a jpnsaige through the upper House. In the House Representative Griffin opja.sd the commission bill and Rep- rosematlve Sheppard, who Introduced St, favored its passage. When the bill scant? up on its passage Mr. Griffin was axis: nt and it went through without his ®»rrg on the Hoor to express his oppo- ■sHatu to its provision. Why ('olliini Fought It. Wm-r it reached the Senate it met ■With n .afferent fate. Senator Coi- Xarn took the position that it was un necessary legislation and designed for jpajnhsan purposes. As he expressed it an amerlcus man yesterday, he re- gwebiUi the hill creating the commis- as uncalled for and as containing provisions that were, in his mind, iu- JbnJeuil to representative government. BSemiior Collum stated that he under- aiaa>} that there was a sharp division of sentiment in Americus on the sub ject. that, the representatives from Snxnler were dfVJded on the matter of Its passage, and that there had never tuts* any proper discussion of the sev- Orat 'features of the bill. 'Senator Col- Inas ivdd that if a commission was to Vie selected to serve for six years the ■rin' l ii , v should rest in the hands of tw people of Amerlcus and not in the fcaads of a niajorlty of four memberu or the council, especially In view of the Brest powers given to the commission Wtax, '.he held, the commission should noC Jbe given the arbitrary power to Cnotradt hills without consultation with Osxxnul. the latter body being required 6y fie act to pay all debts the cont- wikiJni anight create for the erection tit a.

Benuor Collum yesterday expressed BunatdTas satisfied that when the peo- (tlfc ct Amerlcus studied the commis- tiaa t-Pc itlse features that lead him to •ppoHe Irs passage would commend his BVOTse to them. thimdil IS Was Ills Duty to Oppose It. T TiTXTded myself as much the rep- B’esenu.tlve cf Sumter county as the CObt two aienntles of the district” said Senulor Collum, "and that It was Just as much my duty to study local bills tram Sumter as a local hill from Schley, to acquaint mysolf with cou- cBUovis, and act as my Judgment dic tated. Representative GrilTlti was op. pee. d ti the bill, and I had reason t: fudivve that a great number of Amor- Bens people wore opposed to it, and that tli* public was unfamiliar with v V ,:.^~;'j9ion3 of Jt and had no oppor- CBofty to discuss It or give voice their Heelings with regard to it. In Basing the bill tabled I acted solely Cttan a desire to protect and promote nrtnt V regarded as the Interests ot .Oaiericifs. The people now have an opportunity to consider such legisla tion further and decide whether they wish a commission based on Bach lines.

Smith, of Egan, Ga., was given out: "Governor Smith called Governor Brown a ‘reactionary,’ and it oc curs to me that he is In some respects correct. A conspicuous event was the reaction ot the people in putting Joe Brown back in the capitol, from which he had, without cause, been •fired’ by Governor Smith. Another reactionary event was the prevention of the confiscation of the ‘foreign capital' which had been en trusted to the safe-keeping, protection and honor of Georgia, that was sent in to our state to help us develop our ma terial resources. “Another reactionary event was the sending of troops to Durham upon the request of a deputy sheriff to prevent a lot of freshly-imported Italians from slaughtering our women and children and destroying their property, instead of following Governor Smith’s exam ple in sending these same troops to Aragon upon the request of a citizen to protect two negroes. ‘ Another reactionary event was Gov ernor Brown, through his convention, declaring that all state convicts sit'oulj be placed upon the public work3, not withstanding Governor Smith subse quently to this said to the legislature that he did not know what to recom mend. “Another reactionary event was the course pursued by Governor Brown in cutting out of his campaign mud, filtt, slander, vile epithets and threats, and setting an example to all candidates which has elicited the commendation ot all good, intelligent and patriotic people. Sticks to Ills Work. Another reactionary event is h'is course in sticking to the job the peo ple gave him. and putting their affairs and interests above his own, and keep ing others in the pay of the state at their work. Instead of parading a'.l over the state making campaign speeches In his behalf. ‘‘Another reactionary event in the Brown administration is basing offle upon merit, fitness and competence, Instead of beavity, lung strength and sycophancy." Another reactionary event Is governor giving credit to others what they do, and not taking all credit for the meritorious acts others. Another reactionary event In Brown administration Is that he does not kick out of office every man po* slble who differs from him iiolltlcaliy, and whose official oath dictates anoth er course. Had he the power to kick a judge from the bench of the superior, appeal or the supreme court who dif fered from him in law or politics, he would not exercise It even to please a friend. Another reactionary event was when Governor Brown twice requested Gov ernor Smith's legislature to establish a bureau of labor, which the laborim hosts of Georgia so richly deserve,! ibut Governor Smith's legislature said no to each of Governor Brown's rec ommendations. Another reactionary event was that •when Governor Brown was elected Hon. Hooper Alexander was droppe from the state payroll. He was then receiving a check every little while drawn on the contingent fund, of $230, and signed by ex-Governor Smith In payment of “special services rendered.' Which was in direct opposition to the letter and spirit of the constitution of the state. He then being a member oi the general assembly. This saving, to gether with the one recommended by Governor Brown as to the positions created by Governor Smith in increas- the railroad commission from three to five members for the purpose of mak ing places for political friends, which amounts to more than $2,000 per an num, would soon put us in position to pay ‘our” country teachei'3 promptly With these savings and a legislature pledged to safe, sane and economical administration of the state's affairs, we can very easily solve the great problem of paying the school teachers. Fays Vets In u Lump, Another reactionary event was the return to the payment in lamp sum of pensions of Confederate veterans and their widows, which was paid quarter' !y under Governor Smith's adminis tration. Another reactionary event was that after Governor Brown was nominated the governor of Georgia he remained If Col. J. E. Sheppard is sent to the State to represent this district cx will make a fight for the presidency of that body, representlr.; .. -• Smith faction as against the present Pres ident Jo. n M. Slaton, of Atiau.a, who is generally regarded a- - .—a wltn Brown tendencies. This Is the news that is sent oit from Atlanta to papers throughout the state. There is every reason beiieve that the item correctly ex presses the intention of Col. She;v pard. It has been well kr./wn to his friends in Amerlcus that Col. Shep pard entertained this ambition and that it has been under consideration that be should enter the field for pre: Ident of the Senate In the event of his election to that body. The Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah Morning News, in dealing with probabilities In the next legisla ture, states that it is generally ac cepted that in that .body there will bi a clean cut fight between the Smith and Brown people in ttye selection of presiding officers. Speaker Holde who is a Brownlte, Is to be fougbt with Smith man, and in the Senate similar policy Is to be pursued. It is said that every indication Is that If former Gov. Smith is elected there will be a clean cut fight for every position In bo.h houses. The Morning New correspondent, dealing with the pres idency of the Senate, says: ‘‘A similar fight is promised for presidency of the Senate. President John M. Slaton of the present Senate also kept out of the congressional race in the Fifth district with a view to serving a second term as President of the Senate. Fulton county gets the senator from the Thirty-fifth twice in succession, and Mr. Slaton will be re elected to that body without opposi tion, and it has been known for many Cue Dressy, For the Trip toTo Besides quality and durability, an redeeming feature of HUB shoes is stylish appearance.

I find that my views arc the views of nearly every one I meet out In the country, and 1 am gaining strength right along. I am free to confess that I expect to be elected bv a rousing majority. “In the city I have many enthus iastic friends who are looking after my Interests, while I am working out side.
