gift of the people, and Judge Davis
fills the position most admirably.
Judge John P. Davis is the young
est of a family of six children, four
brothers and one sister, a son of Ben
jamin Davis, a gallant soldier who
lost his life while fighting the battles
of the Confederacy, leaving his
widow, Mrs. E M. Davis, to raise her
large and helpless family. Judge Da
vis was bom on Johns Creek, this
oounty, a farmer boy and has stuck to
the farm pretty much all of his life.
He married Miss Ellie S. Camp, the
daughter of Mr. John L. Camp, of
Gordon county. November 0, 1884,
and they, with their five children, re-
side in their beautiful home on
North Broad street.
He spent two years in Texas when
a youth, but came back to the land
of his nativity, and after he was mar
ried he and his wife taught school, at
New Hope, for three years, having a
large and flourishing school. He
assisted in the clerk’s office for two
terms, and on October 17th 1893, was
elected ordinary over six other con
testants, securing as many votes as all
of them put together, which shows
how very popular he was. He suc
ceeded Air. H. J. Johnson, a very
popular citizen. In his administration
of the affairs of his office he has
shown great ability and his charm
ing personality and uniform courtesy
has thoroughly established him
among the people.
FOB FOURTEEN YEARS.
Mr. Jobn J. Black, Tax Collector of Floyd
County.
If there is one office more than an
other connected with the county
offices that requires a man’s finest in
genuity to fill satisfactorily, it is that
of tax collector, and the fact that
Mr. John J. Black has filled that
office for fourteen years in succes
sion in Floyd county is an evidence

both of his competency and popular
ity. Upwards of a million and a half
dollars of the state and county money
have passed through hie bands in this
time.
Mr. Black was born in old Cassville,
TBAM IMnON-HOMS ..THIBUNB. DKOMBKB. ISM;-
Bartow county, but came to this
county in his youth. He served
through the war as a member of the
Rome Light Guards in the old Eighth
Georgia regiment, and after the war
was in and was bookkeeper
for Putnam & Smith and Bowes & Co.
Fourteen years ago he was elected
tax collector and has held that office
ever since, to the complete satisfac
tion of his constituency. He is per
sonally one of the most agreeable of
men and is liked and respected by all
who know him.
Mr. Black is well-known all over the
state, not only as an official, but as a
splendid sample of the Georgia gen
tleman, genial, courteous and the
soul of honor and loyalty, and no man
ever filled his position socially and
officially better than John J. Black.
SHERIFF OF FLOYD.
A Man Who Has Made a Splendid Official
Record.
Floyd county has plenty of good sub
stantial citizens, but among them all
\ Hgjf
SHERIFF J. P. MCCONNELL.
there is not one who stands higher than
our popular Sheriff, J. P. McConnell.
He was born eight miles below Rome
fifty years ago. and when a young man
entered the Confederate service and
fought through the war with the Sixth
Georgia cavalry. After the war he re
turned to Floyd county where he engaged
in farming and finally went into the mer
chant milling business. Four years ago
he became deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Jake Moore, and sin wed himself to be a
fearless, able and competent official. At
the last general election he was easily
elected to the office of sheriff, and since
his incumbency has shown himself a
a model officer. He is universally admired
and respected by all classes, a terror to
evil doers and a true friend and unassum
ing gentleman in every particular. His
popular and efficient deputies arc Messrs.
J. K. Williamson, 8, B. Albea and J.
Dallas Turner, all men of sterling ability.

The man who handles the cash is the

responsibility, and there is no better test

of the capacity and strength of character
of a man than to put him in such a posi
tion.
There is no more faithful and efficient
officer in Floyd county than Mr. James
B. Hill, who has occupied the responsi
ble position of treasurer of Floyd county
for several years. He was first elected in
1888, and so well has he filled the posi
tion that the people of Floyd county
seem perfectly satisfied to permit him to
remain there ad libitum. Mr. Hill is
one of the prominent business men of
Rome, being secretary ana treasurer of
the Rome Hardware company, with
which firm he has been since its organi
zation. He is personally very popular,
and possessed of such strength of char
acter as to win the respect of everybody
with whom he .comes in contact. He
makes a model treasurer.
REPUTATION WELL EARNED
A Sketch of D . D T. McCall, County Phy-
Bician.
Prominent socially and profes
sionally, no man has a better title to
' his reputation than Dr. D. T. Me-!
. Call, county physician of Floyd
! county.
’ Dr. McCall was born in Scriven
county in 1846 and is a member of one
of the most prominent families in the
State. Various members of it have

he graduated in medicine and surgery.
For a time he practiced his profes

1878 he removed to North Georgia
and married Miss Kate Turner,
daughter of Hon. J.'W. Turner, who
so long and ably represented Floyd
county in the Georgian legislature.
Since hie residence in Rome his
popularity has been steadily on the
increase and no man stands higher in
the esteem of his fellow citizens,
socially and professionally.
In addition to his regular practice
and his duties as county physician,

Dr. McCall has one of the best
equipped sanitariums in the State for
the treatment of female diseases. It
is located in a beautiful situation in
South Rome, and is well fitted up ac

there through Dr. McCall’s skill and

AN EFFICIENT CLERK,
Mr. Halsted Smith, a Gentleman of Many
Attainments.
Rome and Floyd county is largely in
debted to the painstaking and efficient
city clerk for many improvements, espec
ially in regard to its fine public roads for
which he has labored so long and so
i earnestly, being an honored member of
1 the National Road Congress.
1 Hon. Halsted Smith, city attorney and
clerk of council, was born in Savannah
’ in November, 1849, and moved to Rome
' in November, 1873, and practiced law
until 1879. In 1877 he was elected a
HON. HALSTED SMITH.
member of the city council on the ticket
of which Col. M. A. Nevin was the head,
after a sharp contest. The mayor and en
tire council were re-elected without op
position for a second term. On account
ot his hearing beconr’ng affected and his
becoming a victim of dyspepsia, he re
moved to the country, being at the time
a law partner of Hon. D. B. Hamilton.
In 1887 he returned to the city, in 1890,
having previously entered into partner
ship with Mr. L. A. Dean in 1887, which
continued until 1894, when he was elected
city attorney and clerk of council. He has
filled these two responsible positions
most admirably, and still continues the
practice of law, having made a splendid
reputation as a real estate lawyer. He is
general counsel for the Rome Mutual Loan
Association and represents the legal de
partment of other loan associations in the
city, and is familiar with corporation law
of which he has made an exhaustive
study.
