2 OPPOSITION JOKE ONES W. IM “SOME SHOCK" City Clerk in Near-Panic as Friends Indicate He Has Rival—Entries Closed. The worm turned today and for the first time since he became city clerk the city ball crowd nad a good laugh at the expense of Walter Taylor, the man whose sharp repartee ha? given the dry grins to all who dared to joke with him All the officials 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 ish of a bore- The hour marked the closing of the entry list for the cffy primary of October 2. They who had no opposition were praying that none would develop. Those who had op position werex equally as desirous that there should be no other contestants. Walter Taylor nonchalantly strolled Into the office of Councilman Albert Thomson, where .1. <• Cothran, secre tary of the Democratic executive com mittee, was receiving the entrance fees.

NEVIF. William Charles Adamson, represen tative in congress for the Fourth Geor gia district, will be nominated for the ninth time by the * ik /.jf I■' ~ J® ' liw Bi A V , iii iiiii iiiiie u> iif | Democrats of his I field of endeavor I today at Warm Springs. Judge Adamson is ranked by Judge Bartlett, only in point of contrnu- I ous service, as the I delegation no w s t ands. following t h e congressman fi om the Sixth by one it rm only. Judge Adamson has one distinc tion that can b> claimed by no other member of congress Demo- I. UilglfOh LAVIUU- crat, Republican, or what not. He is tin only member who ever has been nominated nine successive times with out opposition! Down in the Fourth, they ail vote for Adamson. He suits the people of that vicinity right down to the very ground. Nobod. ever thinks of running against him, ttnd apparently nobody ever xvlll. 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 beaut.v shows — except maybe an occasional consola tion prize here and theie. The gentleman from the Fourth | Georgia is easily one of the leading and I most influential members of the house. He is chairman of the powerful com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce. and as such lias 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 well. The gubernatoiia’l vote of Gilmer was under consideration, and some one had asked to know the vote accorded Sla ton and Alexander. Then some one else 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 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 appjau e! I Afterward. .Mr. Hall found out tliUt j one Hall man had applied to vote in | Gilmer, but that lie had been turned I down by the managers. Mr. Hall said] lie thought that ( inched his previous I argument. H. L.

He spent. $499.27 in making his tight against Judge Morris, mostly for post age, livery and railroad tares. The judge lia- returnee to Ins home I in ('unnning, where he proposes io rest up a speli." while his devoted son, who 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 all Lie traveling men bcliexei Governor Brown erred in vetoing the mileage "pulling" bill, even if a great ' many of them have criticised him | sharply for doing it. For instant e. there is Colonel Max ■ Krauss, of Savannah, one of the oldest traveling men in the state. He be lieves the governor did the commercial travelers a. genuine service in vetoing I the bill and that the governor should be commended and not criticised ad versely for his act. Colonel Krauss was fcr 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 tile 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 mile 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 tiiat Governor Blown, far from being their enemy, proved himself to be a real friend in need.
