New York. July 8.—Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, commander-ln-chtef
of the Atlantic fleet, said .today:
"There have been no orders to rush
repairs at the New York or other navy
yard*. It Is *llly to talk of war with
Japan,” continued Rear Admiral Evans,
'because some tough wrecked a Japa
nese restaurant in San Francisco. There
Is no more reason for war with Japan
than there would be for one with China
If a few hoodluma In the Eaat ahould

PICKED UP IN LOBBIES OF HOTELS
;
Probably the moat unique and origi
nal character in the house of represen
tatives la W. W. Wilson, the gentleman
who, when asked where Is Is from, tells
you that he "misrepresents the good old
county of Gwinnett, which la In Geor
gla."
Mr. Wilson is noted for hi* wit, his
unfailing good humor and hla appre
ciation of a joke. He seldom takes up
the time of the house with speech-
making. and hla motto la: “Don't be a
sounding braaa; keep your mouth shut,
think, and vote right."
When asked recently by a fellow-
member of the house where he waa
stopping. Mr. Wilson replied: p .
“I am not stopping; I dont have
time. I haven’t stopped since I crawled
out of the cradle and took hold of a
plow, and that's one reason why I m
famous.” , , . .
Although the foregoing remark might
not Indicate It. Mr. Wilson la modest
and unassuming and will turn the point
of a Joke upon himself as quick aa he
will upon another. . ..
When he started to Atlanta on hi*
first trip to the legislature Mr. Wilson,
It la said, waa accompanied to the train
by an old friend who wished to see him
make a name for himself.
“What’a the first thing you are go
ing to do when you get to Atlanta? -
the friend asked.
And then Mr. Wilson, who doeant
drink anything except good spring wa
ter. paralysed hi# well-wisher with the
laconic answer:
'Take a drink.”
“Then what?” .
"Take another drink, I guess. If
there's any left," answered the gentle
man from Gwinnett.
Mr. Wilson is entering upon hla sec
ond term as a member of the house.
He Is always In hla seat when the roll
la called, and though he is not noted
as a speaker, he sticks to his motto and
•votes right”
Practically every member of the gen
eral assembly Is taking advantage of
the recess until Monday and is visiting
the home folk for a few days.
Among the very few who failed to
take advantage of the adjournment for
the Fourth of July was Senator Knight,
who waged such a fierce fight on the
proposition to adjourn until Monday.
“I am afraid to go home,” Senator
Knight is credited with saying. "My
constituents will think that I am try
ing to get a strangle-hold on time and
shirk my duty by laying off three days,
so I am not going to take any chances.
And he didn't.

"Jim," the sable factotum In th ,
office of the adjutant general, has h u
troubles.
Up to a few days ago the correct
way to say It was "Colonel" Scott
“Jim had no trouble about that it
came natural to aay “Colonel." '
Wednesday it became “General”
Scott. Then "Jim's" troubles began
Some one had cautioned him that h.
would lose hie Job If he didn't add re,,
the adjutant general by his correct
title. The 'phone rang. Jim answered
It and eomebody asked for the new
head of the military.
“Yassah, he am heah. Colonel—oh

General Scott waa so astounded a t

gone loco, until the cause of the dar
ky's distress was explained.
If Senator Hardman's bill to in-
crease the fees for the Inspection of
fertilizers from 10 to 25 cents per ton
Is enacted Into law, it will add some
thing over 3100.000 to the revenues of
the state. During the past year or
season the fees from this source
amounted to 370,000. Two and a half
times that amount la 3175,000. Under
the 10-cent fees, after deducting all
the expenses, the eleven district agri
cultural schools receive about S3,009
each. It la believed that If the Hard
man bill passes, the sum will be easily
doubled. It may be seen what this
means to the new agricultural schools.
While the other members of the gen
eral assembly are eating early water
melons and enjoying a temporary re
spite from their duties. Speaker Sla
ton, of the lower house, la one of the
busiest men In Atlanta, and la tolling
industriously in the effort to have his
list of committees completed when the
house convenes again next Monday.
In the discharge of this duty Speaker
Slaton was hampered no little this ses
sion on account of the failure of many
members of the house to notify him of
their occupations, a very important
matter In determining who Is best fitted
to serve on the various committees. Up
to the hour of adjournment Wednesday
Speaker Slaton was not fully Informed
on this point, yet he is hammering
away at the work and expects to be
ready to announce hla committee*
Monday morning.
On the mantel In the office of Cap
tain "Tip" Harrison, tha assistant to
Comptroller General Wright. Is a small
tin box with a slit in the top. Fasted
to the side of It Is a piece of paper,
bearing the admonition:
"Drop a coin here. It will help to
buy tobacco and other small comforts
for the old veterans at the Home.”
And many a dime and ouarter flnd«
Its way there. Captain “Tip" drops a
good many of them himself, but you'd
have to slip up easy to catch him at
It. He la frequently called on to per
form the duties of a notary.
"What do I owe you?" he Is asked,
when the service is completed.
"Nothing. But If you like, you might
drop something In that box there."
And It is a cheap man who doesn't
do It. So far as known, no one has
failed to do so.
Representative Nix, of Gwinnett, that
Arm friend of all court house officials,
has prepared a bill for passage by the
legislature which will be welcomed by
every clerk of superior, city and county
courts in the state.
The bill provides that the clerks of
all courts, who render services In
transcribing the records In state cases
where the same Is carried to the su
preme or appellate court by pauper af-
ildavlt, shall be paid out of the treas
ury of the state as the fees of the
solicitors general are paid, and under
the same rule* and regulations, ex
cept as proof of the services rendered
the clerk of the supreme and appel
late court* shall certify to the truth
thereof.
As the law Is at present. In pauper
cases the clerks of the courts receive
no fee whatever for their labor In
transcribing the records.
When former Adjutant General
Sampson W. Harris walked out of the
capitol last Wednesday to make way
for his successor, he had rounded out a
public career of over thlrty-flve years.
"For the first time In thlrty-flve
years I feel that I have no public re
sponsibility resting on my shoulders."
he said. “I am going to Carroll county
without a care or burden on me, to take
life easy, 1 hope, for the balance of my
days.”
For twenty-three years General Har
ris was Judge of the Coweta circuit,
where he made a wonderful record. It
Is said that the records will show that
he was reversed less than any Judge
who ever served the state, considering
the length of his service. Prior to his
appointment aa Judge he served sev
eral years aa solicitor general of the
same circuit.
General Harris Is esteemed one of
the finest raconteurs In the state, and
his stories If committed to print, would
make a most Interesting volume.
If you should happen to be up and
about ns early os 4 o'clock In the morn
ing you would probably run across a
gentleman of low stature and with a
bushy beard, shot through with gray.
That would’be Colonel G. B. Stevens,
railroad commissioner. Among those
who know Itlm well he Is "Uncle Obe.”
and It has been the habit of a llfe-tlme
to retire at 8 o'clock, and to begin the
day by rising at 4 o'clock. Whether at
his handsome country home in Haber
sham. or In Atlanta, Colonel Stevens
never varies his habits In thla respect.
When here he walks forth while every
body but policemen, milkmen and atreet
car tnen are still slumbering.
Three of the present capitol officials
served together In the senate of 1858.
They are Secretary of State Phil Cook,
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson and Railroad Commissioner O.
B. Stevens. That was said to have
been one of the strongest senates the
state ever had.
A visitor to Atlanta now Is William
S. Thompson, who represented the
Fourteenth district in the senate of
1888. Shortly after the expiration of
"Frog Town Republican Pole Tax
Club No. 1," of Savananh, Is at It
again. During the session of 1906 the
senate was deluged with postal cards
and communications from this famous
organization down on the coast. “Frog
Town's" principal trouble then seemed
to be In worrying about a “barber bill.”
but Just what was desired was never
quite clear to the recipients of the
communications.
In the opening days of thla session
President Akin was honored with a
postal card. It was written with a
particularly decrepit typewriter, and
half the,senate has worried over the
possible ' purport of the communica
tion. The card looked like a cross be
tween a laundry ticket and a section of
hieroglyphics.
