Savannah to attend the National
Convention of Rural Letter Carriers.
One of the most enjoyable occa
sions of the season was the eleventh
annual family reunion of the des
cendants of the late W. W. Cox
which was held at W. A. Payne’s
fish pond last Thursday. The
family was always deeply devoted,
one to another and often met to
gether at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Cox while they lived. They expressed
desire that their children with
their families would meet at least
once each year and renew as it were
the ties of love that have bound them
so closely.
It was from this wish that grew
the custom of their annual reunion
and -barbecue.
This year, as in former years, bar
becue and dinner were fine as could
be. Each member as well as the
friends invited seemed to enjoy
themselves in every sense of the
word, the day being spent in a social
way with all who wished, boat-riding
bathing or fishing. Much credit is
due Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Payne who
spare nothing to make these occa
sions so highly enjoyable.
Who Was the Hist Governor of
Georgia
Not long ago this question was
among others in a historical contest
given to the girls and boys of Wilkes
county and it created rather u “dis
cordant discussion.”A butch of younij
history students came to me to settla
a dispute among them. They were all
armed with “Authentic Histories,”
and all had found a different man as
Georgia’s first Governor.
One proved that Oglethorpe was
the first. Another that William
Stephens was “absolutely the first.”
Others thought that John Reynolds
or Archibald Bulloch was perhaps
the first Governor.
I think in asking young students
such a question it is fair to mention
the period of history in which the
governor served. So little is taught
about the conditions which led up to
Georgia becoming a State is why I
have devoted so much time to the
"Ancient History” of the state, with
idea of leading up to Georgia of L»
day; and especially, Wilkes coun'y,
Georgia.
Below is a chart I made for the
boys and girls, showing the different
periods of history:
Colonial Period—* James Ogle
thorpe, “founder” of Georgia, 1732.
Governor Wm. Stephens (Acting
Governor) 1743.
Provincial Period—Governor John
Reynolds, 1754.
Porvincial Period—Archibald Bui
loch, President of Executive Council
Acting Governor, 1776.
Georgia As a State—John Treut
len 1777 to 1778.
The followng article is from Land
marks, Memorials and Legends.
Georgia’s First Governor: His i.iys-
terious Death
Georgia’s first Governor under the
Constitution was John Adam Treut
len. When the Revolution began he
was an official member of the famous
Salzburger Church at Ebenezer and,
though the congregation was some
what divided on tne issue of the per
iod, he zealously espoused the cause
assumption of statehood by Georgia,
of the Colonies. Little is recorded of
the sturdy patriot, but his election to
the office of Governor, on the formal
implies his prominence in political
aflairs. During his term of office an
effort was made by South Carolina io
absorb the state of Georgia, and
Wm. FI. Drayton came to Savannah
as the bearer o fthe proposed over
ture for consideration. It meant the
practical elimination of Georgia from
the map and the expansion of South
Carolina to the waters of the Miss
issippi. Strange *o say, not a few
shrewd Georgia financiers had been
won over to the contemplated merger
and it required great firmness to deal
with an emergency thus created. On
July 14, 1777, the Executive Council
requested the Governor to offer a re
ward for the apprehension of Mr.
Drayton. He did so in a proclamation
which was most vigorously written
and widely dstributed. The sum of
one hundred pounds was put upon
the head of the offender, but he wise
ly kept on the South Carolina side of
river, and thus escaped the clutches
of an indignant commonwealth.
But strange are the caprices of
fortune. Though the first of Geor
gia’s citizens to be honored with the
high office of chief magistrate, Gov
ernor Treutlen completely disap
pears from view, after relinquishing
the administrative reins, and beyond
any other Georgian who has served
the state in exalted positions of use
fulness, his life is shrouded in an :.t-
mosphere of mystery, which time has
not yet dissolved. There is a tradition
to the effect that on a visit to rela
tives in Oraneburg District, S. C., he
was tracked by the Tories, who mur
dered him in the most brutal manner.
It is said that he was hacked to
i pieces with swords in the presence of
i his family, after first being tied to a
tree, and that what was left of his
body was then buried. But whether
the rites of interment were perform
ed by friends or foes, his grave has
never been discovered, and his mem-
