STORY ON MADDOX
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington. September 15.-(Special.)- When John w. Maddox of Rome, Ga., was elected to Congress a good many years ago he left his law practice to his son. Before leaving for Washington Judge Maddox is said to have given his son and heir elaborate instructions about the business and asked for periodical re- ports on his progress and that he be called upon for advice on any and all oc- easions that it might be desired
 After Judge Maddox had been in Wash ington about one month he had long and enthusiastic report from Maddox, Jr. After reviewing the work he had accomplished during the first month. he added: And, father, you know that big - estate case that has been worrying all up and it is off the books.
 Judge Maddox is said to have made the following reply: My Dear Son: com mend your energy and good work, but you better. Perhaps you do not know that l have supported you and your mother foT the past 25 years on that - estate case. Now, you have killed a goose that laid a golden egg"
 Now, I will not vouch for this story, but 1t is still being told in Washington, and since Judge Maddox has a number of goods friends in Birmingham, the story will bear telling here.
