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 Theories ARE GOOD. Facts ARE BETTER.

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. CAPT. J. D. JOHNSON. 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. Savannah, Ga. Without a Head. Elberton had a one hundred thousand dollar fire Sunday.

A Prominent Man A.- s issinated. 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. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. 25c. New T.lne Between Cincinnati and Chicago. I 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.
