There are a grept many ways of doing this and nut ting parties will always be popular from the varieties pf way,s that can be em ployed In securing the nuts, all pf which are great flln, besides the keen pleasure Os roaming through the woods in bracing, spicy autumn glr. Frequently the nutting party chance across a chestnut, hickpry or walnut tree that is so large and has branches so far from tfie ground that It seems impossible to get Lie nuts, for the tree is top large to shin up. the branches are far out of reach and vigorous "clubbing" only brings down a very few nuts, although the branches may be loaded with them. In such cases the party generally go to another and smaller tree, although - they are bound to regret leaving those huts on the monarch Os the woods that seem to laugh at them. If one of. the boys could only have reached those lower branches what showers of nuts he would have shaken down! A .

Among the historic worthies whose lustrlous names are lovingly treasured by the great state to. the fair fame of which, whether as sons or adapted cit izens, they so materially contributed, no one occupied a securer or more en during place in the popular regard than the distinguished subject of the pres ent sketch. An ornament to the day and generation wherewith his notable lot was identified, his political career possesses an Interest well deserving of revival tn the recollection of posteri ty. The remarkable personage to whom we refer Is none other than the Hon. Alex H. Stephens, who first beheld the diurnal light on' a modest farm In tpe vicinity of Crawfordville. Taliaferro county, Georgia,’ the date of his time honored nativity being the 11th bf Feb ruary. 1811. He came of a sturdy lineage, his grandfather. Alex Stephens, who was the founder of the American branch of the Stephens family, being an English man, and an adherent of the Jacobite pretender, Brine* Charles Edward. Re moving to this country' about 1*46, he cast his pioneer fortunes with the Pennsylvania colony, he being engaged in several conflicts with the Indians, as well as seeing service in the old French war under the able chieftaincy of Colonel George Washington. He was, moreover, a captain In the revolu tionary war, and soon after the suc cessful termination of hostilities, he transferred his residence to the sover eign soil of the state of. Georgia There. In Wilkes county, in course of time, his son. Andrew B. Stephens, was wedded to a Miss Margaret Grier, and as a result of this unostentatious union, we point to the birth' of. our j distinguished subject, Alexander, who, as his grandsire’s namesake, wss des tined to shed lustrious credit upon the fatuity whereto he owed his bril liant origin. At the age of 15, our worthy who had up t 6 that time, because of assiduous farm work, enjoyed few educational opportunities, became an orphan. In that forlorn predicament, he soon at- • tracked the attention of Charles C. Mills, a man of means, by whom he was, after five months* instructional training, offered a home in Washing ton. Wilkes county, and a place as pu r pil ih Its High scbpcjl, over which Rev. Alex Hamilton Web* ter then ably P l "*' sided. To thia talented precaptor our subject was not only indebted for scholastic benefit, but likewise for. his middle name. And ths Hamilton by which his illustrious signature was thenceforward to be distinguished, far from suffering .abasement, was in later yeafs, to receive contiiuiuou* and widespread plaudits frotq, his admiring countrymen. }’ r Within a few months he was ad judged as ready for admission to Franklin college, subsequently known as the University of Georgia. In the summer of 1838. thanks to the assis tance of a Presbyterian educational so ciety, and with a view to hts ultimate preparation for the ministry, be wias there matriculated as a freshman stu dent, and four years thereafter, in 1832. he had the distinction of graduating with the highest honors of that vener able institution. On leavlpg college his determination fqr taking orders hay ing intermediately changed, he resorted to teaching to the en<s of earning mon ey wherewith to re-imburse Mills and the aforesaid society fpr their, generous aid in connection with his schooling. As a result of his zealous efforts th that regard, at the time of hta recep tion into the legal fraternity, in July, 1834, he was able to fully discharge both indebtednesses, and thus on the threshold of bis interesting career was he happily relieved from what would certainly have preyed upon his honor able mind. Before leaving this period of Mr. Stephens’ life, we would say that on the rih of the same month he made his debut as a political orator. His speech was an able one, and from the ground, as then taken, his rock-ribbed convictions never after wards deviated. While denying the as serted right of nullification, that is, the right of a state to remain in the uniohi ’ and yet disobey the federal laws, he insisted upon the sovereignty of the states and upon the constitu tional prerogative of any to withdraw from the union whenever the compact should be violated by their sister com monwealths. Alluding to Mr. Stephens' admission to the bar, w|ticb was secured after only two months* study, we would <%l J[t I 1 v \_J|’ll! F had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen.

At that .time, he was fillet ed to membership in the Georgia HOube of Representatives; his triumphant elb vatjon tb' that office, which he held un til 1840, being effected only after the most bitter opposition. This dtgtus Os affairs was superinduced by the simple reason that, while bellev'ng in states- ( erelgnty, he sturdily an.agonized nulli fication; he utterly dlscountenaclng vigilance committees,.-- and the 1 then common "sticking" clilbg, whir a weep the parent*of the Ku-Klux-Klan,' flte first speech in thg legislature was ef ficacious: and as a fruttof its eloquent delivery, we point t< the granting of the earliest appropriation far the Wes tern and Atlantic o|H State , raHroad. the foremost, impetus as imparted to the construction of which being dis tinctly referable to Me great genius | To his eMhuaiastto advocacy it was that the Georgia Female.

Ufiop his admission tp UM bodyTiks We'are told, his first speech had reference to au tlwrixing the Federal legislature to pass, an act compelling the several states to comply with the term* of its statutory maadMe. As Georgia had. ■ for one, not obeyed the Congressional requirement for the-, division of her territory into the specified districts (see U. fl- Act of June 25, 1842), Mr. Stephens appeared to question hie right to sit in that assemblage. His speech was completely successful; he winning as well the point at which he aimed as the seat whereto he aspired. And as an entering wedge of assertion of the pow- j er on the part of the general gov ! emraent to legislate in state domestic affairs, under the plea of regulating Its own organisation, this able effort may properly’be regarded. While op posing the John Tyler Texas annexa tion treaty In 1844. in association with seven ether southern Whigs, he se cured tiie passage. In tlie following year, of the Milton Brown redolntioon, which provided fdr a similar end. Dur ing the conflict with Mexico, our sub ject bitterly antagonized the war policy, as advocated by President Polk. (Witness, in this connection, his fa mous Mexican appropriation bill speech of February 12, 1847, which fearless as welt In its attacks upon the administration and the dominant party, as in its warnings to the people bf the country, I; regarded as ohe Os the most eloquent he ever delivered.) On the triumphant outcome of hostilities, however, he promptly accepted all of the incidental results, as a God-send, from a territorial standpoint, to his be loved south, . . In 1848, or midway in his earlier con gressional incumbency, Mr. Stephens had a personal encounter with Judge Francis H. Cone, of Greensboro, Georgia, which illustrated the physi cal courage wherefor he had been noted from his youth, the courage that cornea not from principle or duty, but from utter indifference to conse quences. The difficulty origmatad. as we are told, in a quarrel in regard to the Clayton compromise of the same year. Cone stabbed the distinguished object Os his political venom most dan gerously with a knife, and cried: "Re tract, or I will cut your throatl" The the tree, pass It through the band on your belt, buckle the ends securely and you are ready to climb. Raise the long strep as high as you can until the side on the further side of the trees is about .level with your neck. Lean back as far as the belt will allow you and you will find that you can walk; several feet up the tree by pushing against it with your feet. Now push your feet against the tree harder than ever, holding on to the sides of . the long strap, lean forward suddenly without moving your feet and lift the strap upward with both hands. The strap will slide up the trunk for several feet and you will be supported and can walk upward as before. Repeat this, always pushing,away from the tree trunk-aa far as pqssible with your feet. In a very few minutes you will find' yourself up in the branches, having walk ed directly up the tree trunk with the help of your strap. .There is no danger whatever In this if yqu, are always careful to nee that your straps and belt are perfectly sound and ybu can scale any tree that your long strap will go around. bleeding, almost dying. Stephens, with the determined exclamation, "Never! Cut!” grasped the swiftly descending knife blade in his right band. As a penalty for his undaunted action that members, which was terribly mangled in the incidental struggle, never again wrote plainly. Few of the < witnesses of the regrettable episode, which occurred on the piaaza of Thompson's hoteL Atlanta, Ga., ever expected that our illustrious worthy wpuld recover from the effects of the murderqus onslaught To the jvonder of all, however, he did recuperate in time to make a speech in favor of Gen eral Zachary Taylor for the national presidency, his. carriage being tri umphantly drawn tb Jhe orator’s stand by his admiring felibw citizens. • in 1850 he opposed the secession move ment, then in gradual progress in the south. His reason for taking this po sition was based upon tlfe fact that he regarded the admission of Califor nia as a free state as a blessing, be cause it ‘repealed the Missouri restric tions and opened alt remaining terri- i tory, north and south, to slavery. He was one of the authors of what is known ak the Geofgla platform of Ifio. which begins with the resolve "That we hold the American Uhlon secondfiry in importance qniy to the rights ahd principles it was designed to perpet uate." On the nomination of Frank lin Pierce and General Winfield Scott as candidates for presidential honors at Baltimore In 1852 the lines of de markatien between Whlgism and Democracy were defined for tha last • time. And so the followingprominent southern members of the Whig party in congress gave their Unanimous de- ■ clslon tn favor of its final overthrow. Accordingiy, Mr,. Stephens, with tola Georgia colleagues, Robert Toombs and James Johnson, A4ex White, Mis- . sittlppti ehriemgher H. WiHiagis and ; Mbrodlth P. Gentry, from Tanhaasrfe, and Chas. J. Faulkner, from Virginia, desit the death-blow to that political organisation through their famous » card Os July 8, 1851, tn which they ad « duced tha reaaons underlying their re -1 fdaat 'tq support General Scott. Our honored subject was the author of the , document in question, and in his not* ■ able connection therewith we see an- • ' other important phase in his forceful ‘ public carter. ’ . i'. In 1864 Mr. Stephens defended the ’ / principles of the j‘ Kansas-Nebraska Mil. which may be said ta harmonise. I in the main, with the settled policy as unfolded in the compromise of 1860. Five years later, ®r in 1*59, his eighth consecutive terra in the national house being successfully oonaludsd, he hade an affectionate adieu to congress and retired into private life. In his fare well speech to Ms admiring const!;- , uents. which was delivered In Augus ta, Ga., ebon after his official with drawal, he Intimated that the "only way to get more slaves and settle the terrkottes with slave-holdtng voters was to reopen the African slave trade." Indeed, to a casual observer it Would seem, that o«r distinguished subject was nothing Wore than a bund IS of contradictions. It must be reipem bered, however, that be always acted advisedly ahd with satisfactory and well considered reaspns tq Justify bia public steps as t<oa. WMle a state rights man at heart, he yet saw fit to support the claims of Harrison and Tylet in 1845. Aga Ip, |n 1844*; though, in favor bt the‘acquhdtlon of Texgs, M upheld the candidacy of Henry Clay., who prophetically declared that a Vfat with Mexico would assuredly precipi tate the redlscusslon of tha slave Is sue. In the following year he voted with the Democrats in admitting Tex as, and In 18M and 1847 he championed the Mexican war policy as advocated by J. Ck Calhoun and the Whigs His house resolution in February, 1847, be came the basis of the Whig reorgani sation, as well as of the election in 1848 of General Zachary Taylor ad na tional president. In 1850 our worthy * differed with the policy of Fttimore, as he had dona with that of Polk, aud approved the compromise measures es ' Mr. Clay. In 1854 he co-operated with Stephen A. Douglas so far as the pro motion of the passage of the Kansas- Nebraska bill was concerned, and united with the Democrat*, in the fol lowing year, in the attempted over throw of KnOW-Nothingism, while in 1858 he aided tn the election of tbe Democratic presidential . standard bearer, James Buchanan, hts bitter po litical foe. When he withdrew from the national halls 4a- March, 1859, he observed with homely significance, “I saw there was bound to be a smash-up on. the ro«d and resolved to jump off at the first station.” And in the se quent year, besides making a notable Union speech, he supported Douglass and Johnson as against Breckinridge and Lane, who were th* acknowledged exponents of ths state rights theory, he matßtaing that the territorial views sf Douglass were life-long prin ciples. T When on the l«th of January, 1861, the memorable Georgia cdhvention was convoked at Mltiedgsvilla. among the distinguished deputies who contributed to the interest of Its stirring delibera tions was Mr. Stephens. He came in the capacity of a unionist delegate, and tn him the cause which h* so ably represented found a brilliant, uncons- * promising and unquenchable defender; he, while strenuously advising against the policy of seoesston as a remedy for existing grievances, boldly maintained , the inherent right of a state, on suf ficient grounds, to peaceably withdraw from the Federal union, whenever it so desired. But in spite of ail the im passioned efforts of the union contin gent, they were, in the end, outgen eraled by their disruptlonary oppo nents. and on the historic 19th of that eventful month the famous Georgia ordinance of secession was proudly flaunted to the world. ’Orre.of the 17 who. composed the committee special ly charged with the framing of this celebrated instrument ‘was our subject; and after the adoption of the patriotic ordinance, another honor was straight way lavished upon his deserving head. This was his appointment as one of Georgia’s ten representatives in the Confederate provisional congress at Montgomery, Ala. That remarkable conclave was duly convened on the 4th of February, 1961, and its earliest la bor of importance found expression in the formulation of a provisional or temporary constitution for the nascent natibn.
