William M—, usually called unde Bil'y, a Primitive Baptist preacher, was a member of the Georgia Senate. Uncle Billy had been a soldier in the Chorokee and Semipole war, was widely known in Middle Georgia and was very populai. He was a man of stron g intellect, very independent in thought and action and gifted in native eloquence, though unlearned in books, The removal of the capitol from Mil¬ ledgeville was frequently discussed andalways produced much excitement and opposition with the people of Milledgeville and their friends, Uncle Billy had introduced^ bill to remove the capitol from Milledgeville to Griffin and much excictment fol lowed. In due time the bill came up for discussion and action. This pro duced great excitement in the town. It was generally known on that day uncle Billy would make a speech in favor of removal, and men and women worked hard to prevent removal. On the day the gallery of the Senate was crowded with men and ladies. Ic was rare to see such an array of beau¬ ty and fashion. Every available space was occupied. Uncle Billy commenced his speech in a conver¬ sational way but as he proceeded he warmed with the subject and he be¬ came really eloquent. In the midst of his eloquent appeals the ladies his¬ sed—hissed—hissed. The old man stopped and casting his eagle eye to the gallery exclaimed: “Mr. Presi¬ dent there are but two things in all the universe that hiss—the viper for its venom and goose for its folly.” The hissing ceased and was not re peated and he proceeded with his speech* ' His bill failed to pass, but his re buke was not forgotten.
