2 OPPOSITION JOKE GIVES W. TAYLOR "SOMESHOCK” City Clerk in Near-Panic as .Friends Indicate He Has Rival—Entries Closed. The worm turned today and for rhe first time since he became city clerk the city hall crowd had a good laugh at the expense of Walter Taylor, the man whose sharp repartee has gi' -n the dry grins to all who dared to joke with him All the oflficia s In the city hall were waiting for 12 o'clock today with the same Intense interest as though they had their last dollar staked on the fin ieh of a horse.

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 Adamson s proudest boasts is that, while he has had hon ors and distinctions of various kinds showered upon him generously and > abundantly as he wen’ alone, he never . has taken any prizes at beauty shows— except maybe an occasional consola . lion prize het e 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 progtess of the Morris-Patterson hearing Wednesday but they didn't get away with it very , well. The gubernatorial vote of Gilmer was under consideration, and some .me had asked to know the vote accorded Sla ton and Alexander. Then some one else asked how mam the Hon. Joe Hill received in that primary, and the wit ness said. "None!" The laugh went around on the Hon. Joe Hill, but before it had subsided the gentleman from Bibb arose and said he desired to say to the committee that he considered his voteless . state in Gil mer the very highest possible tribute to his genuine Democracy ! Then the Hon. Joe Hill got a tine round of applau-e! Afterward, Mr Hall found out that one Hal’ man had appin d to vote in Gilmer, but that lie had been turned down by the managers. Mr. Hall said he thoueht that (inched his previous argument.

Not all the traveling men believe Governor Brown erred in vetoing the mileage "pulling’ bi'l, even if a gi eat many of them have criticised him sharply for doing it. For instance, there is < 'olonel Max i Krauss, of Savannah, one of the oldest I traveling men in tin sti.ie. He be , lieves the governo: did the commercial I trave'ers a genuine service in vetoing ■ the bill, and that the governor should be commended and not criticised ad versely for his act. i'olonel Krauss was fm many y ears chairman of the railroad committee of I the Georgia T. P. A., and at present is chairman of the same committee of ’ Post A. He surely has the welfare of the traveling men very much al heart. He believes that the signing of the "pulling" bill would have resulted cither 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 tnile ' age is voluntary upon the part of the 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. e far from being their enemy, proved - 1 himself to be a real friend in need.
