Pe of A. H. L T lm, the secretary
of the executive department of
the State, published in the At
lanta Constitution, will prove o£
interest to those who know lit
tle of the great seal o'f Georgia:
“Many inquiries have come
to the executive office regard
ing the history of the great seal
Of the state of Georgia
“and am unable at the moment
to put my hand on any document
giving the history of the great
seal in detail. However, I once
made a study of the subject and
w ll state what I recall from mem
ory.- | '
• The present great seal was
adopted in 1799, concurrent with
the constitution of that year. Be
fore that year we had several
great seals, one, I believe, dur
ing the Colonial period, another
during the revolution and an
other between the recognition of
(the vstate by Great Britain and
the constitution of 1799. The
jff.gtires on one side of the seal
that is the one not constituting
the coat of arms, I believe, came
down in the main from the Colo
nial seal and were designed by
General Oglethrope and bis asso
ciates. It might he interesting to
note that one of them refers tc
the silk industry which the
founders of the colony hoped to
—and did to some extent —devel-
op. 'The coat of arms, in part,
if not wholly, were adopted in
1799. There has been some dis-
pitte afmong historians as to
when the present seal was adopt
ed, and as to why the figures
1799 appear thereon. But this
to my mind was cleared up re
cently when Governor Brown
found among the possessions left
byi his brother, Julius Brown, a
copy of an old newspaper publish
ed at Louisville, Ga., bearing the
date of that year, in which there
appears an advertisement calF
ing for designs for a great seal.
“The seal has undergone no
change since 1799, and I believe,
though as to this I am not certain
even the same physical seal,made
of silver, is still in use. It ib a
pendant and has to be done ’n
wax, the only one of that charac
ter, so far as I know, now used
b|y any of the states. It is badly
worn and the impresionsi made
from it are very indistinct.
“The great seal has been thru
a great deal of history . Perhaps
the most conspicuous incident ha[
pened during the reconstruction
era,when Secretary of State Bar
nett refused to recognize the
construction government and fled
with ‘it. The story is told that
it was buried in a hog pen on the
Barnett farm and remained there
until an elective government was
established. My recollection s,
however, that the secretary of
state’s seal was so hidden, and
that Barnett took? the great seal
out of the country with him .
“If more detailed information
should be desired, it can be ob
tained from L. L. Knight, com
piler of records, whose office is
at the capitol. He is out of the
city for the present, or I would
have conferred with him before
writing th. ; s>”
