NEVIN. William Charles Adamson, represen tative in congress for the Fourth Geor gia district, will be nominated for the ninth time by the J ■i" Democrats of his i field of endeavor I today at Warm Springs. Judge Adamson is ranked by Judge Bartlett only in point of continu ous service, as the delegation now st ands following t h e 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 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 went along, he never has taken any prizes at beauty shows — except maybe an occasional consola 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 (jidn't get away with it very well. The gubei naiorial vote of Gilmer was under consideration, and some one had asked to know the vote avcordtd Sla ton and Alexander, Then some one - Ise asked how many 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 l.e considered his voteless estate in Gil mer the very highest possible tribute to his genuine Dernoi -aey! Tnen the Hou Joe Hill got a tine round of appla.io '. ! Afterward, Mr. Hall fount, out that one Hall man had applied to vote in, Gilmer, but that he had been turned | down by the managers. Mr. Hall said | he thought that cinched his previous 1 argument. H. L. Patterson. Democratic judge- ! snip nominee in the Blue Ridge. !ia> , his expense account ready for fifing, with the < omptroller genera'. He sp*nt 519.9.27 in making his tight ' against Judgs .Morris, mostly for post-| age. livery and railroad fare'. The judge has returned to his home in <'umming. where he proposes to "rest I up a sp< II.” while ids devoted sun. who I financed the "old man's" fight to its] victorious conclusion, has returned to : his home in Valdosta, where he is a very successful young business man. Not ah the traveling men believe I Governor Brown erred in vetoing th" mileage “pulling" bill, even if a great] many cf them have criticised him, sharply for doing it. Foi instance tlrre 1“ Colonel Max Krauss, <-f Savannah, or. of the oldest traveling men in th. state. He be lieves the governoi did the commercial I travelers a genuine service in vetoing the bill, and that the governor should; be commended and not criticised ad versely for hi? act. Colonel 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 welfare 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 in tirely their inter fliangeable mileage program, or radically changing it, just a? they did in South Carolina. The issuing of interchangeable mile- i 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 Governoi Brown, far from being their enemy, proved himself to be a real friend in need. The legislature next summer will have to do some -< natorial redistrict ing to satisfy the voters down in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts, fol-! lowing the action of the recent general I assembly in authorizing the < reation of the two new counties.
