Congressman HIeunt.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Times.
Mr.. Biount has thick gray hair and
a smooth-shaven face. His face indi-
Gates true Georgia grit. HE'S Georgia
born and he has Georgia manners, a
Georgia accent and Georgia ideas.
His eyes are blue and his face full and
inclined TO saliowness. He speaks de-
Liberated and with somewhat thick
ened enunciation, He wears no cuffs
and never becomes thoroughly arous-
ed until he pulls down his wristbands.
There IS no posing for effect. He
never tries to adorn his sentences with
eloquence, but his speeches are streak
ed with the pure metal. He deals
directly with facts, and always has
the figures to sustain them. An adept
in parliamentary law, he is frequently
called to the chair. As a presiding
officer he is pre-eminently conserya-
tive. You will never get decision
from him upon any abstract point of
order until he has thoroughly exam
ined the rules. He wears steel-framed
spectacles, but never when addressing
the house. Mr.. Blount has been q
congressman is consecutive years.
He enjoys next to the shortest biog-
raphy in the Congressional Directory.
1t does not inform its readers that its
subject vas brave and efficient sol
dier in the Confederate army. He
seems to ill the ideal of his con-
stituents. His claims 10 denomination
and reelection are never contested.
No one apparently dreams of voting
against him. Mo- one in 20 turns out
TO vote when he is in the field, as
everybody acknowledges that his cleo
ton is foregone conclusion. He rep
resents the Macon district. In 1887 he
received 1T22 Votes and 1922 majority.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Tim es
Judge Holman is chairman of the
committee on public lands. He has
saved millions OF acres from the
clutches of the railroad corporations.
But for his efforts there would be
hardly an acre OF the public domain
left for the actual settler to-day. The
Judge IS over 65 years old. He looks
more youthful He is a native Hoos-
Ter, and has been for "a years a mem
Der of the house. At first he served
six yesrs aad dropped ont for two
terms. lie next served 10 years and
again fell OF two terms. Since then he
has been eight years member. He
was re-elecsed last fall. The Judge has
round shoulders and a spare frame, bat
- really more vigorous than he APP
pears. He has tsiin hair, deep blue
Goes. high cheek bones and n smooth
upper lip. He carries q tuft of Florida
moss on his chin He dresses in con-
veational black and wears turnover
collar. He uses eyeglasses and util-
izes thesn in gesflcuiation. Holman
can neither be coaxed nor driven from
what he conceives TO be his duty.
There is no fictitious dignity about
Holman. He wears no ieweIry and
assumes no airs. He usually sits
tipped back in his chair, either twirl-
ing his eyeglasses or toying with his
jack-knife- Mr. Holman Is neither an
easy nor graceful speaker. His voice
is piping, but not strong. The speeches.
however. are meaty anu full OF flavor.
He can probably say more in fewer
words than any man in the house.
Easy TO approach and kindly in dispo-
sitlon, he takes great pleasure IN Civ
ing the benefit OF his experience to
newcomers. The accuracy OF his
great judgment is universally recog-
nized. Members at loss in voting
frequently say. well. III vote with
Holman. Then I'm dead sure to be
right.
