HniTOR Herald:
Cobb county has been calk'd the
Ohio of Georgia politics, because
of the number of distinguished
Georgians who have been elected
to office from that county and
because today it is the home of
Governor-Elect Brown, Senator
A. S. Clay, “Friend” Moseley and
others of considerable note in
Georgia politics; so I was glad of
the opportunity to accompany the
party that was to give formal no
tice to tho present candidate of
the democrats for govertior of his
nomination.
This notification committee was
composed of thirty-five Georgians
from different sections of the
state and some of whom rank so
high ameng their fellow men as
to have caused me to feel small
indeed in their presence.
Marietta, the home city of our
governor-elect, is eighteen miles
from Atlanta and is reached by
an electric railway, such as we
lmvo been talking of having be
tween Sandersville and Tennille,
for lo, these many years. Besides,
the Western it Atlantic railroad
connects it witlvthe capital city
It is located in a most beautiful
and productive section of the hill
country of Georgia and besides
corn and cotton, raises in abun
dant quantities, peaches, apples
grapes and all kinds of fruits
vegetables and grain. I had
never before been there and nut
urally 1 was impressed with the
town and country.
Unfortunately for me, J missed
the Joe Brown special car and
went on the next cur, but found
others from Atlanta on board ant
when we reached Marietta, three
gentlemen boarded the back with
me. We gave no instructions to
the hackman, a white man, but
he said he “lowed we was goin’ to
Joe’s,” and proceeded to take us
to tho homo of the new governor
and his friend and feLow citizen
When we reached the grounds
of this typical southern hom<
the olden time and I looked about
on the spacious lawn and the
large roomy house set among the
many giant forest ouks, and saw
how comfortable and convenient
everything about me seemed and
then when I drew nearer and
looked upon his family, his charm
ing wife'and happy children,
wondered why it was that
wished to give up the happinees
and joys of a home like this for
the cares and vexations and trial
of the executive office.
The home of Mr. Brown is not
the magnificent structure we have
heard described, but a large, com
fortable, plain, though attractive
house with convenient old out
houses that have stood for years
before the present dwelling wad
constructed. In the front lawn
the old cbvered well and a
kitchen set oil’ from the house is
connected by a covered porch.
1 fell, like a sixteen year old
boy from the backwoods as 1 came
upon these grounds, once the
home of Governor Clins. J. Mc
Donald and on this occasion the
home of Georgia’s great little
governor-elect, whose place was
visited on this day by Governor
and Mrs. Terrell, Hon. C. R.
Pendleton of the Telegraph, and
many others of the state’s ablest
men and most notable women
The governor-elect was at that
moment reading from manuscript
his splendid democratic speech,
such a masterful one as we all
now expected to hear. He was

powder, perfumes, cosmetics,

Spanisish wool or any other kind
of wool, iron stays, corsets, pads
or padding, hoops or high heel
shoes, v-cut wuists, lingerie, lace,
variegated drop-stitched or rain
bow hosiery, or by any other de
ceitful means or artful pratices,”
and providing further that any
violation of the law shall be puni
shed under the “laws now in force
in Georgia against witchcraft, sor
cery and such like high crimes and
misdemeanors.”
