.FUzzY. A GENERAL FAvORITE

Fuzzy" Woodruff, to whom refer
ence is made above, is a geneal Ia
voritc in the city. His ability as a
writer is recognized. The Hearst pa
pers have given him latitude to show
what he can do. AS result ne Is one
of the best known reporters and one or
the best liked fellows.
Woodruff umpired prize fight the
other night-four of them in fact. The
ring was in the main portion of the At
lanta auditorium, and Fuzzy" wore a
white shirt as a concession to the oc-
casion. I recalled that the last time
had been with him at the Auditorium
he gave me his seat check for one act
of Carmen 1t is a far cry from grand
opera to the squared circle, but easy
for Fuzzy"
There is a fear that the hoi polloi
the old time friends of this Alabama
Georgia reporter of long service, may
lose him, for he has taken up golf
With bag of crooked sticks and
swagger he defies the sentiments from
back home--he may be ashamed OF 1t,
hut he don't show it

Atlanta, September 16.-(Special.)
Wheresoever a few are gathered to-
gether in Atlanta it is likely an Ala
bamian will be found in the midst of
them. The Alabama end" crops out
in many of the events of the day. 1t
may be that I see 1T because I am look
ing for 1t. I do not know whether
the situation proves that many Ala
bamians leave Alabama to come to At
lanta or that the few who do get into
the game without delay
The other day Rev Brooks Lawrence,
former Anti-Saloon league manager in
Alabama, came to Georgia to take up
the same work. Fuzzy" Woodruff, an
Alabama man, was assigned by the
Georgian to write him up w. S. Wit
ham of the Georgia anti-saloon move
ment, formerly banker of Admission,
Ala, was so pleased with the story
that the bought 1000 copies for distri-
button. Asa Gambler. named for mayor,
was nominated by an Albanian in the
initial mass meeting, and the first man
on his campaign list was from the same
state.

JUDGE FORT IN GEORGIA

Judge w E. Fort of the Birming-
ham bench is Georgian. He gave us
a wave of the hand from the window
of the Birmingham Special the other
day and was sorry he did not have
time to stop. His father, Mr.. j. w.
Fort, lives at Blakely, in one of the
richest sections of the south, and is
prominent in the state. The judge con-
cedes that Atlanta is the right place
for progress, and Georgia great
state"
The judge and Lee Jordan, prominent
at the Atlanta bar, were in college to-
gether. Speaking of his old classmate
one day this week. Mr.. Jordan said:
"Rilly is one of the finest fellows
knew Alabama robbed us when he
went there. Birmingham citizens are
fortunate in having him on the bench,
for he is able. fearless, honest and
energetic. The high standing of the
profession in Alabama is easily ac-
counted for if the lawyers and the
Judges are of the Billy Fort type.

THE DORSEY VICTORY
Rack of the victory won by Hugh
Dorsey in his race for governor. were
three distinct things: The vigor and
the enthusiasm of youth, the most eff
ficient organization. and the active sup
port of great newspaper.
He aroused enthusiasm from the
jump among his followers. He fired all
OF them with his own conviction that
he could and would be elected Feeling
this way, they worked night and day.
Everywhere they went and under all
conditions they talked their man.
His organization covered Georgia like
the daylight. In every military di-
vision. in every county he sent his men
and his literature. Thousands OF let
tiers poured into hundreds of postoffices
in every mail. And they were ad-
dressed to men who got them-no out
of date mailing lists for the Dorsey
people. 1t was snap and go-and it
wins.
His newspaper backing was superb.
Both in the manner and the volume
of his support by the Constitution
there was efficiency. A member Of the
opposition stated after the election:
II congratulate you. You never left a
bar down." The wide influence OF the
Constitution and its extensive clientele
gave audiences under the best condi-
tons
