Charles Adamson
Agrees to Take Office
OF Revenue Collector

In long distance telephone con-
versation with The Journal Mon
day, Charles Adamson, prominent
business man of Cedartown and
one, of the best known Repub-
lican leaders in Georgia, admit
ted that he had consented to
accept the position of collector of
internal revenue for Georgia in case
the office is rendered him by the
administration. Mr.. Adamson said
that he had agreed to take the office
because he thought that it would be
"in the interest of the party" for
him to do so.
Washington dispatches during the
past few days, as well as letters to
local Republican leaders, have in
ers had conferred on Mr.. Adamson,
1t was indicated that the party lead
ers desired that the patronage ref
erees in Georgia and other states
should hold one of the important fed
eral offices. Mr.. Adamson, it pre-
viously has been said, had been
agreed on for the position of referee
in Georgia.
Most Georgia Republicans now re-
gard Mr.. Adamson's appointment to
the collectorShip as a certainty, and
it is generally believed that D. G.
Cole, prominent Republican, of Ma
rietta, who has been mentioned for
the collectorship, will be named dep
uty collector.

FARMERS OF TEXAS
SELL 700 BALES Of
COTTON TO TEUT0NS
BY JAMES r. RECORD
QAased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1921

FORT WORTH, Tex, May 9.-The
Germany, increased optimism on the
part of mohair and wool growers,
the first stirring of better retail
business in the fruit districts, and
a lettering of the employment stu
alton are the features of the COM
the southwest.
A cut in the price of oil discour-
aged producers and drillers, though
this was partly offset by the bring
ing in of several medium sized gush-
crs.
The cotton sale to Germany may
mark a new era for the Texas pro-
ducers, though it is too early yet
to make any prediction about future
trading. Bell county farmers last
winter pooled 1900 bales of cotton,
employed a selling agent on a COM
mission basis and shipped the entire
lot to Hamburg.
The cotton was sold in four grades
and brought respectively H. 10, 8
and cents per pound net to the
owners. A fifty-bale lot previously
had been disposed of and the re-
mainder of 400 bales is expected to
be sold soon.
When the cotton arrived in Ger
many it is said that conditions were
decidedly adverse to profitable
sale, but of late there has been
marked improvement.
The confidence of the mohair and
wool growers is based upon the
pending tariff bill, under which, they
think they will be amply protected.
A DELEGATE n of Texas from the wool
district has just returned from
Washington with encouraging news.
Employment is increasing. Farm
ers are calling for cotton choppers
and grain growers soon will start
the threshing gangs to work. AL
ready some of the harvesting has be-
gun, though on a small scale yet.
The first central Texas wheat will
be cut this month, while the big
grain growing territory on the Pan
handle and North Texas will be ready
for the harvesters in June. It is
estimated that 10000 to $1,000 work.
men will be needed for this years
harvest. Plenty of men are avail
a ble however.

Pickpocket Association
Says Victims Exaggerate
Amounts Of Their Losses

GENOA, May 9.-The chief of po-
lice Of this city has received a let
ter signed the tramways' pickpocket
association" complaining that the
persons from which they abstract
pocketbooks, have 1.-The dishonest
habit of invariably declaring to the
police much larger financial loss
than they have really suffered.
They cite specific cases where one
man claiming to have been robbed
of $500 lire only lost fifty, and an
other one reporting a loss of 1900
lire when his pocketbook contained
less than 200.
The letter argues that such exag-
gerations are likely to cause unfor-
tunate consequences and strained re-
lations among the pickpocket fra
ternity as when q member of the
association turns in a few hundred
lire when the loser claims to have
lost thousands. the pickpocket is sus-
pected by his colleagues Of having

SALE Of EXECUTIVE
MANSION URGED BY
STATES TREASURER

The sale of the executive mansion
at Peachtree and Cain streets, which
is declared to be no longer habitable
as a place of residence, is recon-
mended to the Legislature by State
Treasurer w. J. Speer, in his annual
report, which was made public Mon
day. The treasurer suggests that
the funds derived from the sale of
the mansion be applied to the retire
ment of 100000 in state bonds that
mature January /, 1922, for which no
sinking fund has been provided, and
the application of the surplus money
derived from the sale to the pur-
chase of suitable home for the
governor.
Under the fiscal system Of the
state, there is sinking fund of
100000 a year to the retirement Of
regularly issued state bonds as they
mature. But in 1891 the state issued
additional bonds to the amount OF
100000 to cover certain defaulted
bonds of the Northeastern railroad,
Endorsed by the state. No sinking
fund was provided for the payment
of these bonds at maturity.
'In reference to this ISSUE" says
Mr.. Speer, "it may be appropriate
to suggest that, in view OF the fact
that the property known as the gov
errors mansion is no longer consid-
cred desirable, or even habitable, as
a place of residence, and as its value
is no doubt large enough to take care
of this debt, and also provide
residence for the governor, that it
would be a good business proposition
to sell it, and appropriate a part or
the proceeds to the payment of these
bonds, rather than continue them
with a new issue"
Governor-elect Hardwick already
has announced his determination to
place of residence. He doesn't con-
slider it suitable, safe or desirable as
home, and has indicated his belief
that it should be sold. Indeed, Mr..
Hardwick has unofficially commits
stoned a real estate man to canvass
the situation with reference to the
sale of the mansion and the acquire
ment of other property as an eXesu-
tive mansion.
The governor-elect has made no
announcement Of his view concerning
the disposition of the money derived
from the sale of the mansion in eX-
cess of the price of a new mansion.
and it may be that the recommended
ton of the state treasurer to apply
the surplus to the retirement of the
100000 in bonds may meet with
favor.
The report of the state treasurer
gives a detailed account of the re-
ceiptS and disbursements of the Of
flee, but aside from the sale of the
executive mansion makes no recon-
mendatiOnS.

when the Sophomores commanded the

the retort courteous that since they
were so ignorant and unschooled, they
did not know how to make the bibs.
If the Sophomores would make them,
the Freshmen would wear them. This
request the tSophomores haughtily ig-
