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.
