The -worm turned today and for the firm time srtnce he became city clerk the city hall crowd had a good laugh at the expense of Walter Taylor, the man whose sharp repartee has given the dry , grins to ail who dared to Joke with him. All the officials tn the city hall were waiting for 12 o’clock today with the same Intense Interest as though they |hnd their last dollar staked on the fin ish of a horee. The hour marked the dosing of the entry list for the city primary of October 2. They who had no opposition were praying that none would develop. Those who had op position were equally as desirous that there should be no other contestants. Wat er Tavlor nonchalantly etrolled tHfo the office of Councilman Albert Tffc*mson. where J. O.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIK William Charles Adamson, represen tative in congress for the Fourth Geor gia district, will be nominated for the ninth time by the I T| IS m - QB 1 Democrats of his field of endeavor today at Warm Springs. Judge Adamson is ranked'by Judge Bartlett only in point of continu ous service, as the delegation now stands. following the congressman from the Sixth by one term only. Judge Adamson has one distinc tion that can be claimed by no other member of congress Demo- crat, Republican, or what not. He is the only member who ever has been nominated nine successive times with out opposition! Down in the Fourth, they all vote for Adamson He suits the people of that vicinity right down to the very ground. Nobody ever thinks of running against him, and apparently nobody ever will. And if somebody does, the result will be approximately the same. One of Judge Adamsons proudest boasts Is that, while he has had hon ors and distinctions of various kinds showered upon him generously and , abundantly as he went along, he never has taken any prizes at beauty shows— except maybe an occasional consola i tion prize here and theie. The gentleman from the Fourth Georgia is easily one of the leading and most influential members of the .house. , He is chairman of the powerful com mittee on interstate and foreign com , merce. and as such has had almost en , tire charge of shaping recent Panama . canal legislation in the house. Some of the. facetiously inclined un dertook to ' kid” the Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, during the progress of the Morris-Patterson hearing Wednesday— but they didn't get away with it very I well. The gubernatorial vote of Gilmer was under consideration, and some one had asked to know the ’.ole accorded Sla ton and Alexander. Then some one else asked how man' th'- Hon. Joe Hill received in that primary, and the wit ness said, "None!" The laugh went around on the H>n. Joe Hill, but before it had subsid'd the gentleman from Bibb i.ro-e and said he desired to say to the <••mtnlttee that he eohsidered his voteless < state in Gil mer the very highest possible tribute to his genuine Demoe'.ae.v! Then the Hon. Joe kot a fine round of app!a :-e! Afterwaiil. Ji*. Hall found out that one. Hall man had appli-d to vote in Gilmer, but that he hail been turned, down by the managers. Mr. Hall said Im though, that cinched his previous argument. H. L Patterson. Democratic judge ship nominee in th*' Blue Ridge, has his expense account ready for filing with the comptroller genera' He sp< .it $499.27 in making his tight against Junge Morris, mostly for post age. livery and railroad fares. The judge has returnee to his home in Cumming, where lie proposes to "rest |up asp II." while his demoted son. who financed the "old man's" fight to its victorious conclusion, has returned to his home in Valdosta, where he is a very succes ful young business man. Not. all the traveling men believe Govern' :* Brown erred tn vetoing the mileage "pulling” bi 1. even if a great many of them have i iiticised him sharply for doing I . For instanc y t’. ■. >•• is Colonel Max’ Krauss, <>f Savannah, or: ■ of the oldest traveling men in ti-.e state. He be lieves the govei nor did the commercial travelers a genuine service in vetoing the bill, and that the governor should be commended and not criticised ad versely for hi- act. C’ lon'.i Krauss was for many years chairman of the railroad committee of the Georgia T. P. A. and at present is chairman of the same committee of Post A. He surely has the w*dfare of the traveling men very much at heart. He believes that the signing of the "pulling'’ bill would have resulted either in the railroads withdrawing en tirely their interchangeable mileage program, or radically changing it. just as they did in South Carolina. ? The issuing! of interchangeable rnile ’ age is voluntary upon the part of th*’ ’I railroads, and they may withdraw it " at pleasure. Colonel Krauss is firmly of the opin ” ion that the traveling men yet will come to realize that Governor Brown, 1 far from being their enemy, proved J himself to be a real friend In need.

The creation of Bleckley our of part of Pulaski will raise the Four teenth to five counties, requiring ten years to get around by the rotation system. Each of these districts has popula tion sufficient to spare one, two *r three counties and still be larger in population than several senatorial dis tricts that now have only three or four counties. The Fourteenth district, by the last census, had 73.298, and the Fifteen! ** 75,377. There are now ten districts with only three counties each having population of less than 40,000, two being below 17,000. Five of these ten are in the southern half of the state and five in the northern half. 8,888 MOES TO GftTHEB HERE Parade and Grand Ball To Be Features of Colored Odd Fellows Meet.
