ASSISTANT ADJUTANT
MAY BE CREATED

The fight for the adjutant generalship
of the National Guard of Georgia may, IL
is rumored, result in the passage by the
legislature of an amendment to the mill
tary code, creating the office OF assistant
adjutant general In this event, the re-
port goes, Judge Sampson w. Harris, OF
Carrollton, will be appointed ad1utant
general, and General A. j. Scott, the In
cumbent, made assistant adjutant gener-
al. Prior to General SCOTS appointment
as adjutant general, relieving Judge Har-
ris, there was an arrangement similar TO
this, General Scott being Judge Harris
assistant.
The members of the National Guard evil
dence a keen speculative interest in the
outcome of the fight, which will be set
tied by Governor-elect Brown after he as
sumes office. The troopers also feel con-
siderable concern over the new governor
selection for quartermaster general. Gen
eral w. G. Obear now holds this position.
and is an applicant for reappointment.
Captain Louis @. KEENAN,, Of Atlanta, is
also seeking the position.
Adjutant General Scott, who would like
to succeed himself, is the unanimous
choice of the National Guard of the state.
He also has the Endorsement of num-
Der of camps of Confederate veterans,
though he is not a veteran.
Judge Harris is a veteran, and he, too,
is Endorsed by many camps of Confeder-
ates. He served as adJutant general I'M
der General Terrell, General Scott at that
time being assistant adjutant general, an
Office created in the discretion of the
governor
1t has been stated that Governor-elect
Brown feels disposed to appoint Judge
Harris, because of their long friendship
and because Mr.. Brown feels that the
Confederate veterans are entitled to rec
ognition in an official way. At the same
time, it has been said, the governor-elect
recognizes the weight of the unanimous
Endorsement of the National Guard of the
state, and feels that ii is entitled to much
consideration because the adjutant gen.
eral is, in fact, the real head of the
guard.
Governor Smith, 1t is recalled, desired
to honor the Confederate veterans in an
official way and rendered to General
Clement A. Evans. commandments Of
the Confederate Veterans, the adjutant
generalship. General Evans declined the
position, after due consideration. on the
ground that he did not feel physically
able to discharge the duties satisfactorily.
General Evans declining, Governor
Smith appointed General Scott, who was
the choice OF vast majority of the Ma
tional Guard. The Office of assistant adj
jutant general, which carried a salary Of
s, s00, was abolished subsequently by an
act of the legislature. and General Scott
assumed and has satisfactorily discharg-
ed all of the duties of the Office.

FIGHT EXPECTED ON
REFORM MEASURES
Repeal of Registration Law and
Reduction of Railroad Commits
sion Membership May Be I'm
dertaken.

The repeal of the new registration law.
the reduction of the number of railroad
commissioners from five to three, and a
skirmish involving the present prohibit
ton act, II is said, are among the i'm
portant matters that will engage the new
legislature, which meets on Wednesday
June 23d. The registration law and the
increase in the number of railroad COM
missioners from three to five are among
the important accomplishments of the
outgoing administration, and the effort
to repeal the former and undo the latter
will undoubtedly precipitate a lively row.
as there will be a close division in the
legislature. The effort to cnange the pro-
hibition law, one way or the other, Will,
it is assured, provoke a bitter struggle,
REGISTRATION LAW.
The new registration law, while effect
i've now, will not become actually oper-
alive until the next general election. Its
principal object is to purify the ballot,
and its most important provision requires
registration six months in advance of a
general state election. Its advocates claim
that this condition will prevent the reg
istration of "floaters" and eliminate all
chance of fraud in the preparation of
registration lists. The act did not have
such easy sailing in the legislature. The
six months clause, especially, invited
much hostility, and it has been frequent
ly stated that a concerted effect will be
made to wipe II off the statute books be-
fore 1t really becomes operative.
The increase in the membership of the
railroad commission from three to five
was largely the result of Governor
Smiths recommendations to the Legislature.
1t was provided for in a section of the
Candler-O verstreet act, amending the old
law by which the commission was crea-
ted. In the upper house it met with pro-
nounced opposition, and, in fact, threaten
ed the passage of the entire act for
time
CHANGES IN COMMISSION.
When the act became effective, Govern
or Smith appointed as new commission
ers Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta,
and Hon. Fuller E. Galloway, of La
Grange. Subsequently, both of these gen.
tlemen were elected by the people, and
Judge Hillyer Is now a member of the
commission. Mr.. Galloway resigned his
place a short time ago, and was succeed"
ed by Hon. Murphy Gambler, of DeKalr
county.
While it is not definitely known, 1t is
stated that the amendment to the rail-
road commission act will provide by the
reduction of the membership from tve
to three by the abolition of the two new
places" The passage of this amendment
would remove Judge Hnlyer and Mr..
Gambler from the commission.
Concerning prohibition legislation, there
are many vague and indefinite rumors
none of which can be authenticated. II
is said that the prohibitionists will at
tempt to strengthen the law by means OF
amendments covering defects found by
the court of appeals, while the more lib
eral element will meet this effort with
amendments to make the present law less
broad in it's scope.

elect from DeKalb county. has held many
positions of trust at the hands of his
constituency, and his election to succeed

supporters that he will meet every ex-

Kalb county He won his seat in the
