SPECIAL CORRESPOXF.ENT.
"Prom the date of the first set¬
tlement, of a colony at Savannah,
by Oglethorpe, in 1788, Georgia
has never been lacking for men of
ability, energy and reputation to
meet any emergency in peace and
war. With her thirty-eight mil
lion acres of land, and a popula¬
tion of two million and live hun¬
dred thousand people, she can fur
jiit-h the man capable to fill any
office, either State or Federal, from
the village constable to the Preti-
dent of the United States.
Many o£ Georgia’s sons have, by
their talent and energy, written
their names high upon the nation
al roll of statesmanship and mili
tary honors, in letters of living
light whose brilliancy time can
'
never efface.
It should 1,0 ..propinhered that
many of the most useful and
prominent men of the United
States, who have made so much
interesting history for the new
world, have be-.n recruited from
the industrial pursuits of life, and
the farm.
In this connection it can he said
that the public career of Leonidas
F. Livings ton has been full of use¬
fulness and Honor to his state.
He descended from Scotch-Irish
parentage. His grandfather emi¬
grated from the north of Ireland
to the United States, and served
under General Washington during
the Revolutionary War. Col. Liv¬
ingston was born and raised on a
farm in Georgia, where he has re¬
sided since childhood. It. was on
tin 1 farm where he learned to swing
the axe and guide the plow, It
was in s» c h healthful and lauda
bio pursuits that he acquired his
line physical form, strength, and
the vigorous brain power which he
pose ses, that, enables him to on
dure the many arduous duties
cident to a long and busy public
life, as a task of easy toil. Dur¬
ing his twenty-six years of active
political service he has never had
but one vote cast against him m
his home district. Since the days
of Alexander Stephens no man in
the state is so closely wedded to
the masses of she people as Col.
Livingston, His popularity and
works are not confined to county
or district, limits, but extend over
the entire state, lie lias served
in both branches of the legislature
during which terms of service, lie
ho was Chairman of the Conimit-
tee on Agriculture, of both House
and Semite. He was president of
thc* Agricultual Association for a
number of years, lle was Presi
dent of the Farmer's Alliance
when looted to Congress, Many
of the best laws on the Statute
Books of Georgia to-day, originat¬
ed with him, and are the results
of his labor, when a member of
the legislature. His people honor
him for the many valuable public
services he has rendered them i:s
State and Congressional leg is la
tion. The first session he came to
Cougress, he was accorded an lion
or, which very few membeis ever
received during their first term,
He was appointed by Speaker
Crisp, a member of the important
Committee on Appropriations, on
which he has served continuously.
Demcwratic^member oUthatcom
mittee. Since he has been in con
gress, he has kept close watch on
all questions of national impor
tance. His opinions are sought
by the members of his party on all
Halation, likely to affect party
organization.
In the 58rd Congress, ° he intro
duced a joint resolution, relative
to the British Guiana Venesuela
Boundary Dispute, referring their
disputes to friendly arbitration,
for which he recoived the thanks
of the Venezuelan Government.
This resolution was approved by
the President, February 20, 1895.
He was the first member of Con¬
gress, to introduce a joint resolu¬
tion, tendering the thanks of Con¬
gress to Commodore George Dew¬
ey, of the United States Navy,
and to the officers, and men of the
squadron under his command.
This resolution was approved
May 10, 1900. He also introduc¬
ed, a joint resolution, authorizing
the Secretary of the Navy, to pre¬
sent a sword of honor to Cornino
d.reGeorge Dewey, a„d
to be struck, bronze medals, cont
memorating the battle of Manilla
Bay, and to destribute such med¬
als to the officers and men of the
ships <> f t he Asiatic squadron, who
were under Commodore Dewey at
This resoluion was ap¬
proved June 5, 1898. He also in¬
troduced the bill creating the of
lice of Admiral of the Navy, which
was also approved by the Presi¬
dent.
Through his efforts in Congress
large appropriations of money
have been secured for the erection
public buildings and improve¬
ment of rivers and harbors in
Georgia.
He was recognized by Speaker
Reed, as one of the leading South¬
ern members of the Fifty-fifth
Congress; as a careful, thought¬
ful and practical investigator, of
all industrial, economic and busi
ness subjects, and being a thor
ough representative Southern man.
he appointed him a member of the
Industrial Commission, feeling
that lie was thoroughly qualified,
to solve all the difficult questions
coming before the Commission for
investigation. He is an active
member and takes much interest
in Us investigations. When the
Commission was organized in 1890,
Ool. Livingston was assigned to the
following Sub-commissions:
The Sub-commission of AgricuU
ture and Agricultual Labor, Con
ditions of Labor and Capital em
ployed in Manufacturing and Gen
mil Business, and on the Commit
tee oil Organization •
