If
HON. LAVENDER R. RAY
Reviews His Legislative Record and
Shows What he Did for the People.
Some time since it was stated by a
correspondent in your paper that none
of the members Coweta had sent to the
Legislature had done any good, or
words to that effect.
• At the time, 1 felt the expression was
unjust to all the gentlemen who had
represented our county in that body,
but decided to remain quiet until after
the primary election. As I was not a
candidate, I did not care to take part
iaor provoke a discussion; but now
feel I am justified in, at least, vindicat
ing my own record. This I will do by
naming some of the measures 1 advoca
ted and the evils they were intended to
correct.
First. The law provided that all un-j to correct.
provided in substance that when fertil
izers proved to be worthless and of no
practical value to the farmer, he might
come into Court and prove the truth,
no matter what kind of note or contract
he had lleen required to sign. A meas
ure which carried right and justice so
patent upon its face, it seemed to me
would becomes law without opposition.
To my surprise the committee to which
it was referred reported the bill back
with the recommendation that it do not
pass. It came up for a second reading
on the day fixed to elect a l. nited States
Senator. The floor and galleries of the
House were filled with the best people
in the State, gathered to witness the
election of the Senator. If the lepoit
of the committee was sustained the bill
would be lost. All bills read up to that
time had gone down without a woid in
their defense. This bill was important;
it must not be lost without an effort. I
moved to disagree to the report of tha
committee. I addressed the House.
Told them of the great wrong I sought
Vmong other things I said
represented estates should be placed in
the hands of the Clerk of the Superior
Court to administer. The Clerk gave no
bond as administrator. Besult:the pro
ceeds of the entire estate were offe i
lost and the heirs left penniless. These
estates were generally small; but an
inheritance of one or two hundred dol
lars is as much valued by a poor child
when the amount is all it has, as a larg
er one is by others. And it was wrong
for tlie State, by its laws, to put it in
the power of any person to squander it.
To correct this wrong I introduced a
bill to create the oflice of County Ad
ministrator, who should take charge of
such estates, giving a bond in each case.
As just as this measure was, it met with
opposition, mainly from the friends of
the Clerks of the Superior Court. On
its passage it lacked one vote of becom
ing a law. 1 moved next morning to re
consider. The motion prevailed. When
it came up again it passed by a good
majority, and is now one of the laws of
our State. I pride myself more on the
success of this measure than any other,
and while I am not superstitious, I can
but feel there is a blessing, somewhere
and at sometime, for him who comes to
the help of the widow and orphans.
Second. There had been much said
about our convicts—some of it good,
and some bad. One of the evils, in my
opinion, was the fact that an uneducat
ed, friendless person sent to the peni
tentiary was entirely lost sight of—bur
ied alive, as it were. His fate was seal
ed in secrecy. To correct this I intro
duced a bill to require the Principal
Keeper of the Penitentiary to make an
annual report to the Govorner, and in
it to give the names of all the convicts,
each one’s county, his crime, sentence,
when it would expire, and whether he
had died, been killed escaped, discharg
ed, or pardoned—and required this re
port to be printed, one copy furnished
each member of the Legislature, and to
#uch other persons as might desire
them. This measure passed without
difficulty and is now the law of our
State.
Third. The State, and each county,
has a large amount of valuable proper
ty in the hands of its officers. I found
there was no rule or law by which we
could keep trace of this property or re
cover its value when lost. I, therefore,
introduced a bill to require all officers
having charge of public property to
make an annual inventory, and when
turned over to their successors to take
their receipts for the same; providing,
also, for pay when it was lost, and its
sale when no longer servicable. This
biil passed without a dissenting vote,
and is now also a law of our State.
Fourth. The pay of Presidential
electors was fixed at eight dollars per
day and forty cents a mile for each
mile traveled, coming and going to the
Capital. The effect was, an elector,
say from Marietta (twenty miles) receiv
ed $24.00 for his per diem and $10.00 for
mileage, making $40.00, while an elector
from Waycross (say 350 miles) would re
ceive $24.00 for his per diem and $280
for his mileage, making a total of $304.
While this was unfair, it was also ex
pensive. To correct the wrong, I intro
duced a bill to amend the law, and pro
vided that electors should receive
$50.00, and five cents a mile. The House
amended, making the mileage ten cents,
and it then became a law. By this one
measure I have saved our State nearly
enough money to pay the per diem of
one member of the Legislature from
Coweta for the balance of time.
Fifth. It became my duty to prepare
a prohibition bill for our county. To
draw one that would be just, effective,
that even the guano dealer would not
take his guano cotton without a warran
tee that if a bale was mixed or water-
packed it would comeback to the farm
er all the way from Liverpool; that gu
ano, like everything else, ought to be
sold on its merits. The chairman of the
committee made a speech on the other
side. The vote was taken by sound.
The Speaker declared the motion
lost. I called for the yeas and nays.
The House sustained the call. On
counting, the vote stood 107 to 58; so I
had triumphed, and the committee was
reversed. There was applause in the
crowded galleries. Old members con
gratulated me; said I had won a victory.
1 did not then know how hard it was to
reverse a committee. By the summer
session the Ray bill had become well
known over the State. The towns were
the lirst to act. Dealers in fertilizers
held meetings; passed resolutions con
demning the measure; appointed com
mittees to come before the Legislature
and use' their influence to defeat it.
Prominent dealers had themselves in
terviewed by the newspapers, and some
went so far as to call it dishonest and
iniquitous. The farmers are general
ly slow to act, but after awhile they be
gan to be heard from. In some coun
ties they met and passed resolutions
approving the bill. They wrote to their
members to vote for it. Some wrote to
me, urging me to stand fast and press it
to its passage. Members brought me
letters from their constituents, compli
menting my course. They brought their
county papers to show they, too; had
espoused the . cause of the farmers.
When the bill was read the third time
the excitement was nearly at a white
heat. The opposition put forward its
best speakers. Our side met them with
as strong arguments. The vote was tak
en. It was Saturday and the attendance
on the House is always slim on that
day. The vote stood 87 in favor to 57
against. It lacked one vote of a con
stitutional majority. On Monday the
action of the House was reconsidered.
The bill was again put on its passage;
was again ably argued on both sides,
and then passed by a good majority.
Again, there was applause from the
friends of the measure. The bill then
went to the Senate, and was there
defeated.
I became a candidate for the Senate
and the people endorsed my .course. I
was nominated and elected. One of
the first measures I introduced was this
same bill. It went before the commit
tee on agriculture, which proved to be
about equally divided. All the discus
sion had was before this committee.
The opposition sent officious outsiders
to tell the committee what to do. Dis
cussion grew warm and excited. In a
small body like the Senate it is not dif
ficult to poll the members and learn,
in advance, how they expect to vote.
I soon found there was but little hope
of getting this measure through; sol
prepared another bill, which would af
ford the farmer the protection desired
in another way. This was a bill to
amend and codify the inspection laws c f
the State. In it I raised the standard
of commercial fertilizers, which is too
low as fixed by law. I mean by this
that a guano may come up to the stand
ard and still not be a good fertilizer. I
provided for an inspector in every
town and at every station where fertil
izers were sold to consumers. I requir
ed him to take a sample from every lot
shipped into the town; to preserve it
carefully, and if any litigation arose he
should send the sample taken from that
same lot to the State Chemist to be an
alyzed. It provided for three chemists
but was again defeated in the Senate.
Since then it has been known as the
Brady bill. In discussing this bill at
the first session the management of the
Agricultural Department was, of course
reviewed. This led Mr. Crenshaw, of
Troup, to offer a resolution to appoint
a joint committee to investigate it. The
committee made a thorough investiga
tion, examined a large number of wit
nesses, and finally made its report, ac
companied with all the evidence taken.
A motion was made to print the evi
dence. The friends of the Agricultural
Department objected;. I warmly sup
ported it. The motion prevailed. If
there is any one who thinks that Legis
lature did not discover and expose the
alleged irregularities and extravagance
of that Department, all he has to do is
to come to my oflice and read for him
self.
I introduced in the Senate a bill to
put the title to all the crops raised on a
place in the landlord until his rent and
account for supplies furnished was paid.
This was warmly supported by the farm
ers in that body. It passed the Senate
but was defeated in the House.
It would tire your readers for me to
undertake to name all the bills I intro
duced that failed to become laws.
Only those who have experience can
tell how difficult it is to pass a bill in
the House when the attendance is
small, and there is the least opposition.
Again, it is useless for me to recite all
the good measures I advocated, or the
undesirable ones I aided in defeating.
I opposed raising the rate of inter-
terest by contract to twelve per cent.
I supported the bill to accept of the
Hon. Joseph E. Brown a donation of
$50,000 to the State University.
I fought the bill to break down the
Railroad Commission by amending the
law.
I opposed and did all I could to de
feat the granting of $80,000 of the
State’s money to the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad company.
Much of an active legislator’s work is
done in the committee. It is there his
voice and influence is heard and felt in
separating the good from the bad. It
is from that source he lias the bills of
other members referred to him to read
and report upon, to prepare amend
ments,* to draw up substitutes, etc.
This work frequently keeps him busy
until late at night, but it must be done,
and he must at the same time prepare
and look after his own measures, and
also answer his correspondence. And
right here I will say, I don’t think there
is one person who can say I failed to re
ply to a single letter he wrote me while
a member of the General Assembly,
and the reply generally cailie by the
next mail.
Without dwelling further upon my
own work, I will conclude by saying I
do not think Coweta has had one Dem
ocratic representative who has not
faithfully done his duty, and who has
not creditably represented our county.
As to my colleagues,the gentlemen who
were with me during both my terms in
the Georgia Legislature, I can vouch
not only for their faithfulness and
prompt attendance, but also for the
marked ability they displayed in dis
cussing and voting upon all questions
that came before that body.
This letter is not written Mr. Editor,
with an eye to any office, but to simply
remind some of our fellow-citizens that
they might at least be just to those
who labored earnestly to serve them.
Thanking you for the space you have
so generously given me, I am yours
truly, Lavender R. Ray.

and suit all persons, was the question, i and made many other important chang-
I knew how difficult this was. I intro- • es. This bill met with much favor from
duced and had passed the law now | some of the large dealers in commercial

If those who criticise it (and they are

THE FERTILIZER BILL.
ricultural Department exerted all its
influence against it. It was favorably
reported by the committee, but on the
day the vote was taken the attendance
was small, so it was lost by one vote.
In all this it was necessary that I
should make some enemies, and at the
same time some warm friends; but since
the excitement has passed away I do
I had farmed enough to be acquaint-j not think there is a member who was

One of the main troubles, I knew, was ten came up to annoy those whose rec-

the impossibility of avoiding payment Legislature. Ilis platform was the Ray
when once the ironclad note had been bill. He waselected, introduced the bill,

TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS,
AND NO NAME.
“Twelve thousaud dollars were nobly con
tributed to the yellow fever sufferers by a
gentleman of New York; no name.”—Atlan
ta Constitution.
Oh, fair, sweet land of Florida,
A bride, entwined with orange flowers,
Ne’er beaming so beauteously as thou,
Enshrined amid thy floral bowers.
Biid, flower, fruit, and sunshine’s gold,
Queen, ainid thy sisters, crowned tliee;-
A blast of pestilential breath,
’Neath Sorrow’s sackcloth found thee.
But sisters raise thy gloomy pall,
And kiss the ashes from thy brow;
And prone with thee before God’s throne,
For His sure mercy humbly bow.
The white-robed spirit, Charity,
Extends her pitying, loving hand
To bless the fever-stricken ones
Of Florida’s devoted land.
Oh, Gad-like chain of human love,
Thy golden links have quickly run
Throughout the Union, ’till all hearts
With Florida’s are truly one.
One noble soul from gallant York
Twelve thousand dollars grandly gave!
No name! Oh, heavenly epitaph!
’Twould glorify the humblest name!
No name! But angels gladly flew,
To grave, in God’s own gracious sight,
That deed, which will forevever crown
The donor with its heavenly light.
No name! Oh, height of Christian love,
A golden blast of fadeless fame!
Oh, breath of God-like charity,
Twelve thousand dollars,.and no name!

Log Cabin Success.
What ails the young men?
Robert Garrett’s father left him a for
tune of twenty millions. He was from
childhood reared in luxury; he received
a splendid education with an especial
training and thorough knowledge of
railroad management and was expect
ed to succeed his father as a railroad
king.
Within three years after the respon
sibilities which his father’s death threw
upon him were assumed, he is reported
a broken down man, with mind and
health permanently shattered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is re
ported among the “wrecks.” His father,
bred a stone mason, was of gigantic
size and strength, with commensurate
brain power, so he became a great con
tractor, then a railroad king and left
half a dozen millions for his son to dis
sipate. The young man is a success as
a dissipator.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks of li fe, grew strong, mentally and
physically, by simple living and honest
labor and developed into financial gi
ants. Their sons were reared in the
lap of luxury and developed into intel
lectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from tlie Log
Cabins of the rural districts. Simple
ways of living, freedom from dissipa
tion and enervating pleasures, simple
remedies for disease, effective, and
which leave no poison in the system,
develop brawny, brainy men, who com
pel the world to recognize their strength
and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
j Cabin remedies are the safest and surest
for family use. Our grandmothers knew
how to prepare the teas and syrups of
roots, herbs and balsams which drive
disease out of the system by natural
methods and leave no after ill effects.
