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 dressed in a modest suck suit of For Men and Boys that Money Can Buy.
