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. "1 think.” <aid the senator, "that we| ! shall control the senate from the ve". ! beginning of Wilson’s administration. If so, we shall have, for the first time in many years. a real Democratic admin istiatlon. from start to finish. It will be difficult to enact the legislation we have In mind unless we do give the | president a cong ss of a faith similar to his own. I hope I may have been able to help that along in a way—cer tainly I have had it very much in mind as I journeyed through the West 1 shall not return to Atlanta until election day -in I - be going all the time, as hard as I can." ‘‘MAKIS" THE BEST LAXATIVE Thoroughly cleanses your liver and bowels while you sleep.
