THREE PROMINENT GEORGIANS
Character Studies of Bright and Brainy Men.
BY WALLACE PUTNAM REED.
JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.
Newspaper readers throughout the coun
try are so familiur with the leading facts
In the career of Joe! Chandler Harris, the
most popular and widely known southern
story writer and journalist now living,
that it is hardly necessary to repeat them
here.
Mr. Harris, as the reading world knows,
is a native of Putnam county. Georgia.
He was born there about half a century
ago. and at a very early age his bright
intellect and easy mastery of every book
that fell into his hands caused him to be
regarded as a boy of wonderful promise.
Fortunately, his circumstances and the
unsettled condition of affairs caused by
the civil war. enabled him to escape the
dull and deadly routine of the schools
when he was just entering his teens, ami
it so happened, by chance or providential
ly, that he spent the greater part of the
war period in the office of The Country
man. where he picked up the essentials
of an education which developed later
into a high degree of literary culture. The
countryman was printed miles away from
any town, on a plantation, and was. there
fore, the only genuine country newspa
per in the world. Its owner and editor, Mr.
Turner, was a wealthy and thoroughly
educated planter of considerable literary
talent. He possessed one of the finest li
braries in Georgia, and nothing delighted
him more than to see young Harirs devot
ing every spare hour to the standard
works of English literature which filled
so many of his book shelves. Turner occa
sionally gave the lad a friendly hint about
his course of reading, but in a short time
the youngster’s judgment and taste im
pressed him so favorably that he practi
cally turned him loose in the big library,
feeling satisfied that he would not over
look anything that was worth reading.
Joel did not confine himself to the me
chanical department of the office. It was
impossible for him to read, think and ob
serve without feeling an irresistible desire
to write, and before he had been connect
ed with The Countryman many months,
something from his pen made its appear
ance in tvery issue.
Literary men who have examined the
oi l files of this remarkable newspaer have
told the writer of this sketch that the
matter contributed by Harris in his boy
hood was of surprising merit, and would
have done credit to a much older and
more experienced journalist. The youthful
beginner wrote paragraphs, editorials and
news items, and occasionally he furnished
a poem far above the average newspaper
poetry of those days. Almost before he
km w it the boy was equipped for good,
all-round newspaper work, and after some
practical experience in New Orleans and
at Forsyth, Ga.. when the war closed, he
accepted an editorial position on the Sa
vannah News, where his brilliant talent;
his wit and humor; his attainments and
his felicitous style soon made him wide
ly and favorably known.
Settling in Atlanta during Savannah's
disastrous yellow fever epidemic in 1876,
Mr. Harris became an editorial writer on
The Constitution, a position which he
has held ever since. It was soon conceded
by both press and people that he was in
many respects the ablest, most versatile
and most attractive writer connected with
southern journalism, and big newspapers
in northern cities off;red him tempting in
ducements. but he declined all such ofLrs,
preferring to remain among the people to
whom he felt closely bound by sentiments
of patriotism and friendship.
Naturally, his pen sought wider fields.
His first "Uncle Remus” book made him
famous at once. Publishers urged him to
write for them. Orders came in from ev
ery quarter, and it was impossible to fill
them all. His success did not turn his
head, lie liked newspaper work, and he
was loyal at all times to The Constitution.
Nothing ever tempted him to neglect his
duties on that great newspaper, and while
his literary productions were bringing
him fame and fortune he stuck to his
desk year after year, furnishing editorials
upon every conceivable subject, from the
lightest topic up to the heavy financial
and political questions which required his
close study every day. Many of his edito
rials are models of style, and have taken
their place among the gems of American
literature.
Despite his daily newspaper work, Mr.
Harris has found time within the past 19
years to delight his hosts of readers in
every land with about a score of fascinat
ing volumes whose titles will readily be
recalled by intelligent lovers of good liter
ature. These books cover a wide range,
embracing folk lore, juvenile stories, tales
of southern life and romantic and stir
ring historical narratives.
Mr. Harris does not travel much. He
rarely ever takes a vacation, and when
lie does he likes to spent! it at home. No
literary man in the world is blessed with
a more attractive and ideal home and a
brighter or more charming family circle
than have fallen to the lot of this bril
liant and lovable man. Unlike some dis
tinguished members of bis profession, the
author of “Uncle Remus” is never happier
than when he is at home, and a more de
voted husband and father never walked
the earth.
Those who have even a slight personal
acquaintance with Mr. Harris know that
he is one of the most modest and unself
ish of men. He cannot understand his suc
cess and popularity and cannot he made
to appreciate the true value of his unique
and unrivaled work. He is unwilling to

add to his already worldwide fame, and it
is needless to say that each new success
of this golden hearted and peerless writer
will be hailed with pleasure, not only by
his legions of readers, but by his compet
itors in the same literary fields. It is not
often that this can be said of an author
whose unusual success has attracted at
tention. but it may be truthfully said of
Joel Chandler Harris. Neither adversity
nor good fortune will ever change his
sunny, kindly nature—never raise any
barrier between him and his fellow men.
TTe will never grow old, nor will he ever
look on ih dark side of life. His philoso
phy is full of wisdom, sweetness and light,
and it will always keep him young and
happy and increase the happiness of those
around him.
CHARLES D. HILL.
No future work on Georgia's bench and
bar will he complete or satisfactory un
less it devotes one of its brightest chap
ters to Solicitor General Charles D. Hill,
of the Atlanta circuit.
One of our historians, in a recent vol
ume, said that Mr. Hill, judged by his
official record, as well as by*the opinion
of the liar and the general public, was
the ablest prosecuting officer in the state.
He makes a brilliant solicitor general.
In the prosecution of numerous criminal
cases and made a brilliant reputation for
eloquence and skillful legal management.
"In 1885 he was called to the solicitor-
ship of the Atlanta circuit and has since
been elected several times successively
to this high and responsible position.
Since entering upon the discharge of his
duties as the state’s prosecuting attor
ney Mr. Hill has been a terror to evil
doers, and, while he claims that he has
never convicted an innocent man, it is
equally true that a guilty one has rarely
ever escaped. He has been prominent
In a number of celebrated and difficult
murder cases, and his speeches delivered
on those occasions have been master
pieces of forensic eloquence.”
Whenever the report is circulated
through the city that Senator Hill is
about to make his closing speech to the
Jury In a big case, the court room is
crowded beyond Its standing room capac
ity. Men leave their offices and stores,
and capitalists stand by the side of the
idle men about town, eager to hear the
brilliant Georgian whose speeches are
talked about throughout the south.
This wonderful lawyer and orator Is a
difficult man to describe in a brief
sketch. He has a massive head and an
intellectual face, expressive of strong in
dividuality, resolution, fearless indepen
dence and genius. He is a man of wide
i reading, and few lawyers equal him in his
profound knowledge of human nature.
His wit and humor flavor and spice his
conversation and speeches, and his talk
is the delight of every circle. Natural,
unreserved and perfectly frank, he is
easily approached, and he does not hesi
tate to express his opinions.
Perhaps he is too independent and un
diplomatic for ordinary politics, but
throughout the state there is a growing
desire to see him in congress, and he has
been frequently urged to become a candi
date from the fifth district, but he has
steadily declined to permit the use of his
name in that connection. lie possesses
some of the highest and most useful re
quisites of practical statesmanship, and
his rare talent, genuine patriotism, at
tainments and irresistible eloquence
would make him a power on the stump
and in the halls of congress.
His big brain is equalled by his big
heart, and those who know him are en
thusiastic in their tributes to him as one
of the brightest, best, truest and most
generous and lovable of men, whether at
the family fireside or in his larger sphere
of action in the outside world. It may
bo that he will never consent to enter
politics. His brother, Benjamin H. Hill,
well known ail over the country as a
scholarly, eloquent and successful lawyer
of high reputation, is his law partner, and
the large and steadily growing practice
of the firm is perhaps more satisfactory
than any prospect of political prefer
ment.
But if the people of Georgia have their
way in the matter, Charles D. Hill will
be forced to yield to the urgent solicita
tions of all classes and come to the front
as a popular leader. The writer of this
article feels tempted to say more on this
line, but it is unnecessary. Sooner or
later it is to be hoped that the people will
have their way, but it is safe to say that
Mr. Hill will never ask for any political
office. It will have to come to him ut.-.J
sdught.
he was elected a member of the city coun
cil of Carrollton. He was re-elected and
served three years. At the same time he
■was made school commissioner of his
county and served two years.
In 1890 he came to Atlanta and took a
position in the general freight office of
the Western and Atlantic railway, having
charge of the adjustment of all city
claims for damages, etc. He remained
in th's office until November, 1892, when
he was elected assistant cashier of the
Atlanta Trust and Banking company, and
In May, the following year, he was elected
cashier. He discharged the responsible
duties of this position with conspicuous
ability and fidelity, resigning a few years
ago to accept a similar office with the
Third National bank, of Atlanta, which
he still holds.
Mr. McCord soon gained the confidence
of leading financiers and business men,
and he is looked upon as a man of excep
tional talent with a very bright future be
fore him He is a zealous Methodist, a
member of the I. O. O. F., and in club and
society circles he is very popular. In his
successful and busy life he has continued
to be a thinker and a student. He finds
it impossible to rest satisfied with his
attainments. He Is a growing man, and
Is as eager now to learn something new
and useful as he was when he sat up
reading until midnight in his boyish days.
When he was deputy clerk of Rockdale
superior court he picked up a good gen
eral knowledge of law. As a merchant
he studied the important commercial
questions and methods of his day. When
he entered the banking business he made
himself familiar with theoretical and
practical finance, and even the oldest
bankers in the state now recognize him
as a man whose opinions carry weight
with them and should be heeded. A year
or two ago, at a state convention of Geor
gia bankers, lie read a paper which was
of so much value ad Interest that its rec
ommendations were heartily indorsed liy
prominent bankers everywhere, and sub
sequently they attracted the attention of
the legislature and had an active in
fluence in shaping the recent banking
laws of the state. No higher compliment
was ever paid to so young a man with
such a brief practical experience in bank
ing circles.
Those who know hint best predict for
Mr. McCord a long career of public use
fulness. He is not only a man of great
talent, but he is liberal-minded and pro
gressive. He is public-spirited and is
ready at any time to help any worthy
public or private object. His self-culture
has equipped him for the most responsible
duties of citizenship, and whether he is at
his desk in the bank or discussing finan
cial matters in a convention, or writing
or talking upon any leading question of
the hour in any circle, he is able to hold
his own with any of his contemporaries
in the front rank of the progressive Geor
gians of our day. He is one of the host
and finest types of our successful self-
made men, and no man has warmer
friends. Happily married, he is devoted
to his wife and child and is as admirable
in the family circle as he is in all the
other re.lations of life. Modest, capable
and faithful to his ideas of duty, he de
serves his success, and his fellow citizens
will gladly call him to higher positions in
the near fntvc.

CHARLES D. HILL.
“He is felicitous of speech, quick at re
partee,” says the writer referred to. “and
ready at all times with bright and spark
ling quotations from his favorite authors.
Rich in all the varied resources and ac
complishments of the orator, he stands
without a peer in his branch or depart
ment of his profession.
"Mr. Hill possesses a peculiar mind. It
is not only quick in its perceptions, but
remarkably firm in its retentiveness, and
the solicitor general never makes a note
in the trial of any case, however impor
tant it may be, and he is never mistaken
when he refers In his argument to the ev
idence. His preparations are purely men
tal, and in none of his great speeches has
he used a pencil to make even the brief
est outline, summary or point. Perhaps
no lawyer at the bar has such a wonder
ful memory. The late Judge Richard H.
Clark, who presided over hundreds of
criminal cases In which Mr. Hill has been
engaged, and whose opinion of his tal
ents is based upon the severe and oft-re
curring tests of the court room, said of
him: ‘He is very much like his distin
guished father. I consider him one of the
brightest men I have ever known. Judges
frequently complain of the court room
and the tiresome monotony of worn-out
jokes and flights of eloquence on the part
of their prosecuting officers, but I have
never had reason to make this complaint
against Mr. Hill.”
"The varied experience of Judge Clark,
extending over a period of more than fifty
years at the bar and on the bench, in
creases the value of this compliment and
makes it one of which its recipient has
every reason to be proud.
"Charles D. Hill was born in LaGrange,
in Troup county, Georgia, in 1852, just as
his father, the late lamented Senator
Benjamin Hill, one of the most gifted and
patriotic men that Georgia ever produced,
tvas beginning as a member of the Geor
gia legislature to electrify the country
with his surpassing eloquence, which was
destined, few years later, to hurl its bitter
denunciations In the teeth of the Federal
military oppressors and to plead for a re
stored union in the spirit of the orator’s
often quoted sentiment: ‘We are in the
house of our fathers, and we are here to
stay, thank God!'
“After spending his boyhood days in
Troup county, Charles moved to Athens,
Ga.. in 1868, with his father’s family, and
shortly afterward entered the law school
of the State university, graduating in 1871.
Among his classmates were Washington
Dessau and Walter B. Hill, of Macon;
his brother, Benjamin H. Hill,and Charles
W. Seidell, of Atlanta; W. A. Broughton,
of Madison, and Robert Whitfield, of Mil-
ledgeville, a group of brainy and success
ful young Georgians.
“Mr. Hill was admitted to the bar in
Twiggs county, but after practicing for
two years he purchased a farm and fol
lowed agriculture until his distinguished
father's death, in 1SS2, when he moved to
Atlanta to resume the practice of the
profession, of which he soon became a
famous member. He aided his brother
JOSEPH A. M’CORD.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Newton county, Georgia, about forty
years ago. His father, Stewart McCord,
was i descendant of those sturdy and
liberty-loving Scotchmen who came to
this country before the revolutionary war
and marie such a splendid record in our
struggle for independence. He was horn
In Abbeville district. South Carolina, in
1794. and after being honored by his fellow
citizens of that district with the office of
sheriff, as a recognition of his gallant ser
vices as a soldier in our war of 1812
against Great Britain, he moved to Geor
gia in 1824, and died in 1868. He was one
of Newton county’s best farmers and was
deservedly popular among his neighbors.
His son, Joseph, was reared on the
farm and was educated in the excellent
schools of Newton and Rockdale counties.
When only twelve years old he took a
clerkship in a store at Conyers, Ga., and
followed this occupation for a number of
years. While still a young lad he was
appointed deputy clerk under Mr. T. J.
Treadwell, clerk of the superior court of
Rockdale county. He retained this posi
tion about four years, and his superior
Intelligence and systematic methods gave
general satisfaction and were highly
complimented by the bench and bar and
the public generally.
As a representative of the younger gen
eration of Georgia's self-made men Mr.
McCord deserves the very highest com
mendation, and his successful career
should encourage other young men who
have their own way to make in the
JOSEPH A. M’CORD.
world, without the aid of money or in
fluential friends. After leaving school,
at an early age, young McCord deter
mined to make the most of his education.
He was remarkably bright, and his ac
tive mind thirsted for knowledge and eas
ily retained it. The young clerk gave
every leisure hour to good hooks and
newspapers. He was genial, companion
able and popular with every class, but he
wasted no time in frivolous amusements.
He was a thoughtful, manly youth, de
voted to his family and friends, and his
correct habits and business-like ways
caused him to be regarded as a model
citizen before he was out of his teens.
He worked faithfully and studied hard,
and by the time he had reached the age
of manhood he was better informed and
had read more than the majority of col
lege graduates. About 1880 he went to
Carrollton, Ga., where he engaged in a
general merchandise business, conducting
it successfully and profitably for ten
year. His integrity and ability made
such an impression upon the people that
