Collector Of Internal Revenue and
Prospective Candidate for Cover

letters in front of him, sat A. o. Bla-
lock, collector of internal revenue and
prospective candidate for governor
There is sue ha thing as being lit
orally flooded with correspondence,
kilograms, telephone calls and various
and sundry means of communication.
Mr.. Blalock found thissituation when
he returned to Atlanta from bust
ness trip which included a visit to the
Georgia Bankers during their recent
session at Tybee Island. He told some
|of the bankers that many of his friends
had persuaded him to enter the guh-
ernatorial handicap, the newspaper
boys spread it around and when he
got back home ''the thing was lit"
ters in his office, Mr.. Blalock smiled
from ear to ear, then looked serious
and said:
Boys, all of these letters have got
to be answered and they will be an
swered, every one of them, but the
first thing we've got to do is to clear
the desk of the internal revenue col
lector. For the present, at least, the
governorship is secondary consid-
Grafton"
Mr.. Blalock meant what he said, so
while his thousands of friends over
the state will get an answer to their
letters, he needs time to catch up on
the regular duties of his office.
1t is not generally known, but it is
fact nevertheless, that his office, col
lector of internal revenue for the
northern district of Georgia, sets the
pace for internal revenue collectors
in the southern states. At the present
time, his office force is engaged in
showing through the various depart
ments several experts from officers of
other internal revenue collectors who
want to study the Blalock system. It
seems that Mr.. Blalock and his assis-
tants have a way of dispatching bust
ness which Washington authorities
have mentioned in words of praise and
employees of Uncle Sam in other
southern states have come here ito
Look on and learn
Mr.. Blalock has not yet made any
definite plans for the governorship,
except to say that he is going to run
as a candidate Of the business e'e-
ment of the state. He says Georgia
