AS JUNIOR SENATOR
Sketch of the LTe of Hod. Steve
Clay
HE WAS A PLOWBJY IN HIS YOUTH
Mat Hi Had the P.uck and Vim to Win His
Way and Will Be
Senator.
The new senator from Georgia has a
magnetic name as well as a magnetic
personality—a name first madefamor.s
by the illustrious “Harry of the
West,” and allied with it the name of
Georgia’s own great commoner —Alex-
ander Stephens Clay. Senator Clay
is a magnificent specimen of the pos
sibilities of American institutions, a
splendid instance of a poor farm boy,
who without other advantages than
those he virtually made for himself,
has risen to eminence in bis chosen
profession, and step by step to the
topmost round of the political ladder.
‘‘Steve” Clay was a poor boy, the
son of a poor farmer, and from the
day when he was eight years old and
first went to the fields on his father’s
farm to do his share toward helping
out the family existence he has known
what work has meant. He was born
in a two-room log cabin in what is
now called Gritters district, in Cobb
county. He is the son of Mr. W. J.
Clay, one of Cobb county’s honored
• citizens, who now resides on his farm
not far from Austell. On his father’s
side Senator Clay is of Scotch descent,
his great grandfather having come
from Scotland to this country about
the middle of the last century. He
settled in Virginia and died there.
Senator Clay’s parental grandparents
were William and Margaret Clay. The
grandfather came to Georgia in the
latter part of the last century and
settled in Washington county, where
he accumulated a large estate and
was one of the most prominent, citi
zens of the county at the time of his
death, which occurred in 1853, in the
ninetieth year of his age. Senator
Clay’s father was born in Washing
ton county in 1828, was reared on a
farm and has continued farmingas
his life occupation. He moved to Cobb
county in 1846. He served as a con
federate soldier three years. He has
always been regarded as one of Cobb’s
most substantial citizens. He is a
member and'steward of the Methodist
church, and enjoys the confidence of
everybody who knows him. The
mother of the new senator is a daugh
ter of Rev. James Peck. Her father
was a native Georgian and was a min
ister of the Baptist church, which he
served actively until his death in 1890.
He was then eighty years old.
During his boyhood days the son
was in the country school and later
went to Palmetto, Ga., where he re
ceived a preparatory education, and
•then entered Hiawassee college, from
which he graduated in 1876. He im
mediately began the study of the law
in the office of Hon. David Irwin,and
. a year later was admitted to practice.
He has since devoted himself to the
practice of law with his office at Ma
rietta, and he has made a great suc
cess in his profession. He has always

been an active democrat. In local
affairs he has been particularly prom
iu_-nt, and since 1894 has been one of
the prominent features in the politics
in Georgia. He was first elected to
the legislature in 1884. Hie promi
nence in that body began from his
first entrance to it. His ability was
immediately recognized, and he was
accorded important positions on im
portant committees. Senator Clay
posseses in the highest degree qnal
itles essential to a successful legisla
tor. So pronounced was this during
his first term of service that upon en
tering his second term he was elected
speaker pro tern., and in 1888 was
unanimously elected speaker of the
house.
His ability as a presiding officer
was no less marked than his ability
on the floor of the house and in the
committee rooms, and two years later
when he was elected to represent this
district in the general assembly he
was unanimously elected president of
that body.
In 1894 he was made chairman of
the state democratic executive com
mittee, and during the exciting cam
paign which followed bis master hand
directed tlie democratic machinery.
Again, two years later, he was asked
Oy the party of the state to accept
the great responsibility, and he did
accept it, contributing greatly to the
magnificent democratic victory of this
year. The sudden death of Judge
Crisp brought about the necessity for
the election of a senator by this gen
eral assembly. Senator Clay was one
of the five prominent and deserving
democrats who announced their can
didacy for this position. The story of
the campaign which resulted in his
nomination is familiar to all the Con
stitution’s readers. It has been a
campain notable in many respects,
and notable especially for the good
feeling of all the aspirants.
To see Senator Clay at his home is
to see him at his best. He has a beau
tiful new home on the principal resi
dence street of Marietta, and back of
it, runs an equally beautiful farm, in
which he takes a great pride His
home life is ideal In 1880 he married
Miss Fannie White, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. J. White. Mr. White
was a native of Campbell county and
a large farmer. He volunteered in the
confederate service during the civil
war, was captured and confined in
Camp Morton, where he died.
Senator and Mrs. Clay have five
children, who lend brightness to their
home. The senator is a member of
the Odd Fellows and the Masonic
fraternity, and both he and his wife
are leading members of the Methodist
church.

To all whom it may concern: I take
great pleasure in testifying to the efficient
qualities of the popular remedy for
eruptions of the skin known as P. P. P
(Prickley Ash, Poke Root and Potassium).
I suffered several years with an unsightly
and disagreeable eruption on my face,
and tried various remedies to remove it,
none of which accomplished the object,
until this valuable preparation was re
sorted to. After taking three bottles, in
accordance with directions, I am now en
tirely cured. J. D. Johnson.

Tifton, Ga., Nov. 16.—A terrible
tragedy was enacted just across the line
in Worth county, in the shooting of
Burrell Summer, one of Worth county’s
well known citizens, by Joe Congo and
John Gibbs. Summer had been at a
turkey shooting at Tifton in the after
noon, and was returning home. He was
met in the road by Congo and Gibbs,
armed with shotguns, and without any
warning they fired upon him, killing
him instantly. James Warren had a
beef stolen some time ago and Summer
had detected Congo and Gibbs as the
guilty parties, and had given the au
thorities the information necessary for
their arrest and .this was the cause of
the murder. The murderers are still at
large.

Chicago, Nov. 16. —Senator Brice’s
scheme to establish a new line between
Chicago and Cincinnati is likely to be
realized at an early date. George L.
Bradbury, vice president and general
manager of the Lake Erie and Western
and Fort Wayne and Cincinnati and
Louisville railroad, has opened an office
at Chicago, with his principal head
quarters in this city. Mr, Bradbury is
the right hand man of Senator Brice in
the management of the roads he con
trols and his removal to Chicago clearly
shows that Senator Brice’s Chicago-
Cincinnati line is about to be opened
for business.
