SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Secretary of State Philip Cook is
prouder of nothing in his office than he
is of an old-fashioned picture of an old-
k
fashioned gentle
man, who sot
the unprecedenle.t
term of 44 years,
was >eeret.ary of
state for Georgia.
The pic t u r
hangs just back of
the present secre
tai y's ehair, and it
• is ino:e or less
i faded with age.
but it shows, nev
’ eriheless. tbe rug
ged lines and
strong face of old
Nathan Barnett, a
Georgian of the
ancient regime,
and an official for
many years with
out fear and without reproach.
When Nathan Barnett was elected
I secretary of state that office was tilled
by the legislature, and not by the vote
. of the people, as has been the ease
, since the adoption of the constitution
of 1877.
When Barnett was first elected, the
' capitol was in Milledgeville, and At
, I lanta was not even on the map.
, | Barnett served through the war—un
der the father of the present governor,
; Joseph E. Brown—but went out in Re
construction days, only to come back
triumphantly aft< r the “carpetbaggers"
had been run back to their lairs up
When old Nathan Barnett left the
secretary of state’s office, just after the
war. he carried with him the great seal
of the state. He kept ft, too. until after
Reconstruction days, and wheir*4i< cam.
back into office he brought that seal
with him —and it is the great seal in
use today.
Some histories have said that Gov
ernor Jenkins took away and hid for t
time the great seal of the state of Geor
gia, but that is a mistake —It was the
executive seal that Governor Jenkin.s
had. which is a very different article.
Nathan Barnett died in office—h"
was more than 90 when he passed away
-and before he closed his eyes forever
he atked Governor John B. Gordon <<•
appoint as his successor the present
secretary's father. Genera! Philip Cook,
as a personal favor to the then dying
secrete ry.
General Cook was an old man when,
the appointment was tendered him. an I
was inclined to tu n it down, but when
Governor Gordon told him all the cir
cumstances of the case, he agreed t >
accept, and served for some time after
h's appointment.
Georgia has had few er men to occupy
the ofiicr of secretary of state than any
other office under the constitution.
Comptrolk General William A.
Wright thinks it speaks well for the
new insurance law of Georgia that
practically every provision of It has
been recommended to the West Vir
ginia legislature by the state auditor
for enactment into law in that state.
The new insurance law is working
nicely in Gemgla. and both the comp
troller and the deputy insurance com
missioner think it will work a revolu
tionary change for the better in loca
methods of life insurance.
The Georgia legislature has a curious
way of enacting purely local legislation
now and then undei the guise of a gen
e'-ul measure that Is, as they call it in
legislative circles, a general bill with a
local application
Tills method of effecting legislation
Is not always creditable to the general
assembly, moreover, and fit-qm-ntly Is
of questionable constitutionality, so
many lawyers think.
From out the last legislative acts, so:
instance, which were published a few
days ago, this scintillating gem is
culled:
Section 1 Be it enai ted by th"
genctal assembly of Georgia, and it
’ Is hereby enacted by authority of
same, tha’ in cities having a popu
i lation of not less than thee thou
sand five hundred and fifty inhabi-
tants. ami not more than three
thousand five hundred and fifty
two, according to the last census of
the United States, the city tax as
sessors shall not be permitted to
value and assess for city taxation
their own property, but the mayor
and council shall have power and
authority to value and assess for
city taxation such pioperty of such
tax assessors.
That's pretty funny, in away. and if
you will read it over a second time,
carefully, the humor of ft surely will
occur to you.
It requires, for instance, very little
Sherlock Holmesing in the big census
I book to discover that the one town in
I Georgia that possibly may be affected
by this “general” legislation is dear old
Cedartown, in Polk county
It is splitting the splits pretty ac
curately to hold the application of this
hill down to towns “of not less than
3.550 and not more than 3,552—a differ
ence of 2 isn't much of a difference!
I There is a doubt that this law is con
i stitutional —and certainly It seems to
■ have been effected—well, curiously
’ enough, anyway!
i And there is a lot more 'egislation of
, the same sort on the statute books
' moreover, that possibly ought not to be
there.
United States Senator Hoke Smith is
very optimistic with respect to th-
Democratic outlook.
He believes that Wilson is to win.
. hands down, and tha' he is make
, great president, moreover.
The senator has been working in tl: I
West, so far. but a few days ago he was
called East, and left for Washington
| yesterday. After a day or so in the na- I
, Itional capital, looking after some legis-|
I lative matters, ne will go to New York I
I city, where a program will be given him ;
| that will keep him busy up to and ac
jtually Including November s—election
I day.
Senator Smith bus devoted much of,
i his time to speaking In states where
there is a prospect of electing Demo
cratlc senators to replac Republicans
He feels tin- great necessity of having a ,
congress to back up President Wilson,
and wherever lie has been able he has
put in some Inks for Democratic sens -
1 torial aspirants.

so, we shall have, for the first time in
many years. a real Democratic admin

be difficult to enact the legislation we
have In mind unless we do give the

to his own. I hope I may have been
able to help that along in a way—cer

CLEAN FOUR LIVER AND 3D FEET
OF BOWELS WITH “STROP OF FIGS”
More effective than calomel, castor oil or salts; gently
cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels without
nausea or griping. Children dearly love it.
-You know when your liver is bad,
when your bowels are sluggish. You
feel a certain dullness and depression,
perhaps the approach of a headache,
vour stomach gets sour and full of gas,
tongue coated, breath foul, or you have
indigestion You say. "I am bilious or
constipated and I must take something
tonight."
Most people shrink from a physli—
'hey think of castor oil, calomel, salts
u cathartic pills.
It's different with Syrup of Figs. Its
"ffect is as that of fruit; of eating
oaise food; of exercise. Take a tea
i.poonful of delicious Syrup of Figs to
night and you won't realize you have
taken anything until morning, when all
