Inc Macon Telegraph of Sunday

There has been manifested quite
considerable interest in the selection
OF an assistant commissioner of agri-

OF that department next summer. 1t
IS reliably reported here that the
place will most likely be offered by
Mr.: Brown to Col. Jim Weaver"
The gentleman referred to is Mr..
j. D. Weaver, of Dawson.
The News heard Mr.. Weaver men
toned in that convention soon after
the state primary last August, and is
inclined to believe there is something
more than mere talk in the report.
He was one of the most earnest
and active supporters of Mr.. Brown
IN his race for Commissioner of Agri-
culture, and besides rewarding a
friend the incoming commissioner
would recognize the best agricultural
section of the state by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Weaver.
