his audience-the courthouse was pack
ed in anticipation of the address-and
TO have moved his hearers to great en-
thusiasm and applause at times.
He began away back in the days
when he represented Chattooga county
in the state legislature, passed on to
his term of service on the superior
court bench. and then to his twelve
years in -congress-which marked, from
certain point of view, the zenith Of
his career-then he talked of his one
term of mayor of Rome, and finally
OF the place on the superior court
bench he vacates on February /.
Judge Maddox said that he might
have made mistakes as he went along,
but that he never had knowingly vio-
lated a public trust, or been a party
to anything other than straightfor-
ward dealing.
He particularly felicitated his hear
ers that a broader sense of response
bility as to their duties seems to have
come upon trial juries of late. and that
men nowadays are being sent to chain
gangs and penitentiaries, who, few
years back escaped with light fines.
He said he rejoiced to feel that the
time had come when attorneys no
longer specialized on the form of ver-
dict jury would return by asking
first thing, who's on it?"
In concluding, the judge said he
would never be seen in public life
again, save at the most emphatic and
patriotic call of duty-that he hoped to
devote the remainder Of his life to the
Insurance company of which he is now
the head, and to his private affairs, his
wife, children and grandchildren.
The passing of Judge Maddox from
public life in Georgia removes from
that sometimes strenuous sphere Of en-
deavor one of the states most pictur7
esque and effective figures. and into his
quieter life he viii carry with him the
good wishes of thousands of warm and
loyal friends and admirers everywhere
in Georgia.

portraits-some of them are pretty

AS yet there has been placed upon
the walls, however, neither a likeness
of Governor Hoke Smith nor Governor
Joseph M. Brown. Visitors frequently
comment upon these omissions from
the list of executives, and wonder how
long before both will be included in the
hall of fame.

A curious observer has noticed that
of the twelve governors now represent
ed seven wore whiskers, two wore mus

| the living -gOVernOrS-tn tHe
present governor-three wear whtskers,
and one only goes clean shaver.
An analysis of the figures shows that
whiskers have been considered quite
the proper thing for Georgia govern

the fund was raised.
Two factions of the chapter have
brought sensational charges against

'One faction claims that the fund was
FOR monument to cost $4,000. When
this amount was raised a committee

faction CONTENDS that the fund was col

HEAD TELLS Of
CITY'S NEEDS
Convention. Industrial, Traffic
Boards Needed to Establish
Business Supremacy Here.

Charles W. Wheeler. Of Chicago. pres
ident of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce, paid high tribute to-day to
the commercial life and opportunities
of Atlanta and gave his opinion of the
city's greatest immediate needs in es-
tabishing its business supremacy in
the Southeast
Atlanta should have he said
A convention bureau TO get peo-
pie all over the country to come
here and obtain hand knowl-
edge Of the city's advantages;
An Industrial board to keep track
of what the city has and what il
needs In the way of factories and
mills. and what inducements II
can offer the investor;
A traffic board TO undertake the
protection OF the industries already
here and see that there is no rate
or other discrimination.
Mr.. Wheeler is in Atlanta on a busi-
ness trip and he expressed himself as
agreeably surprised with the alertness
and progressiveness of the city's mer-
chants and manufacturers.

Il readily can see he said, that
Atlanta is to the Southeast what
Chicago is To the middle West and
Northwest. II has the most favorable
opportunities Of any city in the coun-
try Of becoming one of the leading
commercial centers of the United
States.
All that the city needs to strength

for the Southeast are these organiza-

operation and the exhibition Of more
fraternal spirit toward the competitive
cities Of the South, especially Of
Georgia.
Conventions as Advertisers.
"a convention bureau is one of the
best things that a growing city can
have. 1t is better than a million pages
OF magazine advertising. civic adver-

But leaving out the advertising. the
revenue derived from the thousands of
visitors is tremendous and is We'll
