Atlanta, Ga„ September 26.—Is
Col. Thomas G. Hudson, the suave,
polished, hand-shaking commlssionet
of agriculture, setting sail for con
gress, or tho governorship?
Although Hoke Smith has not ac
tually been elected yet, and even
after the formality of the October
election It will be more than eight
months before be actually begins his
term of offlee, there are already signs
of lining up'for 1912. Hoke Smith
has statqd emphatically that he will
not run again. It la equally certain
that he will practically name tho
man who will represent hla policies la
the office.
Qolonel Hudson undoubtedly leans
toward Smith. While he took no ac
tive part In the recent primary it if
well known that his sympathies were
with Smith. But Hudson is not tive
Smith type of politician by any means,
and It is doubtful If the big man's
mantle would fall oin the Americus
man. The colonel rather likes to run
with the boys, Instead of arousing
antagonisms by any reform business
He is a good, clean, straight man
all right, but he Is Inclined to con
servatism In his political operations.
It Is known that he bas strong de
sires to go to Washington. He se
riously contemplated trying to trim
the Honorable Dudley Hughes at the
recent primary, but afte rlong and due
reflection be decided that it was un
suspicious just now to do so. As
history goes In Georgia the office of
commissioner of agriculture Offers ex
ceptional advantages In building up
a neat and nifty little machine. The
j place, carries quite a list of appoint-
ments all over the State with It. No
commissioner Is going to appoint anv
man oil or fertilizer Inspector who 13
not a friend, or who does not carry-
some political influence with him.
There be those who say Uncle Obe
Stevens built up as fine and smooth
working a bit of machine out of the
Job as one would care to see. it Is
history that Uncle Obe held the job
as long as be wanted It, then graduat
ed Into the railroad commission bertb.
That Is apparently where Uncle Obo
fell down, for along comes a red-haired
chap from Gwinnett presently and
yanks the commlsslonershlp of ral'-
roads from under the crafty Uncle
Obe. Evidently that place does not af
ford any such opportunities for ma
chine building as did the farming job.
But, reverting to Colonel Hudson,
one heaTS a lot about him these days
for the governorship two years hence.
He only smiles when questioned, bo
If It looks easy he can be persuaded.
If neither Bide will line up with him
and It Is dollars to doughnuts that
the Brown wing won’t—he may dec Id-
to try to separate Dud Hughes from
the Third district job.
As things now look there Is to b’
a Kilkenny cat time of It next time.
Both sides are In a fighting humor.
One Is In the saddle, gleeful, arrogant
and sure of things. The other Is our,
sore at many things, and especially
tie convention steam roller, and deter
mined to come back with a vengeance,
If it Is possible.
To Conductor T. L. Simmons belongs
the distinction of having winged the
taring burglar, or at lepst one of them,
who for two weeks has been terror
izing residents of Americus by night
ly raids upon their homes, despite ef
forts made to locate Mm. And Capt.
Simmons Is being roundly compliment
ed thereupon.
Cliff Clements, a negro of unsavory
rep., is in jail with a bullet in his
groin and tells many fairy stories as
to how he was winged.
Capt. Simmons shot a negro on the
porch of his rcsllence, the Wheeler
home on Jackson street, at 2 o clock
Monday morning. A few hour:
thereafter Clements showed up at Dr.
D. B. Mayes' office to have a bul
let extracted.
The conflicting stories told by the
negro aroused Dr. Mayes' suspicion
and he soon put the police wise to the
fact. Clements, who already was sus
pected of the several 'burglaries com
mitted here recently, was arrested and
Is being held for Investigation.
Capt. Simmons is sure he is the
negro shot at the Wheeler residence.
He was also Identified hy Mrs. Ham
mond, who was attacked In her homo
at midnight one week ago and roughly
handled by a burglar whom Mr. Ham
mond shot at five tones as he dashed
down Brannon street In flight.
Mrs. Hammond feels positive that
Clements Is the negro who entered
her home and attempted to burglarize
the residence.
A bicycle found at the front of th
Wheeler home, and placed there by
the negro who was shot In order to
facilitate tHs escape, was Identified
aa the property of Dr. Howell, and
was stolen from the front of his
drug store Saturday night.
There seems no doubt that It was he
who committed the many petty bur
glaries here recently.
Not long ago he was arrested for a
burglary committed at the home of
Mr, E. B. Everette on Lee street, and
was out on bond when Capt. Simmons
gave him the highball Tuesday. H'e
brother, Bill Clements, was sent up
for five years for burglary some time
r.go, but Is out an bond pending the
usual new trial.
Citizens generally are elaited at
Capt. Simmons’ success In puncturing
Ms midnight visitor, and are ready to
-ole him resolutions of thanks.
